Stunning home in a perfect location
Le Cannicelle was a perfect choice for us. Several friends from Rome and I shared the entire house for 2 weeks and we couldn't have been happier. The house is lovely, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The photos don't do the decor of the first floor justice. It's even more elegant than the pictures. And the kitchen is a dream. The location is breathtaking, the garden stunning, the pool is perfect, etc. Marzio's care and love for the property is in evidence everywhere. And the housekeeper, Anna, is an absolute marvel. We loved being able to invite our friends to stay in the apartments upstairs. It's really the perfect situation for guests; we got to eat together and spend the day together but whenever we or our guests wanted it, there was always privacy to be found. We also fell in love the the Basso Cilento. Villammare is tiny but has two wonderful restaurants. We rented a boat a couple of times to explore Punta degli Infreschi and Cala Bianca and both days were unforgettable. We love the house and can't wait to go back.

Vacanza indimenticabile in una villa perfetta
This is the second time we spend our holiday at Villa le Cannicelle. Once during the summer period in 2014 and now during autumn with a group of 9 people and we used all floors. Both our holidays were unforgetable. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, which made us feel at home immediately and during our stay he helped us with any question we had. The house is fully equipped and lives up to every expectation you might have. The beds are good, the kitchen has everything you need for a big family and washing machine is available. The kids loved the pool. There are terraces all around the house to enjoy the sun all day whilst the views are spectacular! We enjoyed the outside kitchen with bbq and pizza oven, stayed outside late on the covered terrace even in our autumn holiday. The house and grounds are very well looked after with a lot of love and eye for detail. The housekeeper will come in every day, a great luxury and a lovely person. There is lot to do around Villamare, the beach, a boattrip but also cultural visits like Peastum. Both times we returned home feeling a little sad to leave this wonderful place, but promissing to come back....

Swimming pool very clean
The villa is very well presented. The service level of the staff is excellent. Villa is in a good position in Villammare - close to beach, shops and restaurants/cafes although the car is recommended. Private pool very clean. Good design and layout. We would stay again and would recommend to others.

Fantastic family holiday in Villammare
My family recently spent a fantastic 11 days in Villammare. Upon arrival at the villa after a long journey we were met by Marzio the owner who was the perfect host during our stay attending to our every need, providing great insight to the area and places of interest. The service level of the staff was excellent during our entire stay going above and beyond. The villa itself was well presented and furnished throughout, the alfresco dining was a fantastic experience, everything including the private pool was maintained to an exceptional standard. A car is certainly recommended to explore the surrounding area. We would recommend this villa to anyone else and will hopefully return in the future

Highly recommended!
The villa is a perfect location from which to explore the National Park of Cilento and the historically significant surroundings (Paestum, Capri and Pompeii are a bit more distant but within easy reach) . The property is extremely well presented and is perfect for a group of friends or larger family. Each of the three apartments within the villa provides self-contained facilities whilst maintaining ample space for up to twelve to eat and socialise together. The villa has been furnished in a simple but tasteful fashion with high quality fittings throughout. The views from the property are spectacular and uninterrupted by other properties. Villammare with bars, restaurants and long stretches of beaches is a few minutes’ drive away and Sapri is a further 10+ minutes drive away down the coast and offers a wider range of shops and restaurants and has a station which is useful for exploring the region without having to drive. The property is owned and operated by Marzio and he, along with his staff, with their attention to detail and local knowledge, contributed significantly to our enjoyment of the property and the surrounding area. He personally greets his guests and explains how to make the best of the villa, making the day of arrival relaxed and stress free. An example of Marzio's attention to detail is the map of the local area that is available (specially drawn for him by a local artist) which detail each of the places and activities that can be enjoyed during your stay including how long it takes to get there. Altogether a fantastic location and property and we highly recommend it!

Amazing in all respects
The villa has a spectacular view overlooking the Bay of Policastro and Cape Infreschi. All people involved were extremely helpful. The villa was very nice, even better than expected. Very well presented with everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay, the views are unbeatable, and we really enjoy the area which is about a 3 minute drive from the center of Villammare and within walking distance from a long natural beach area. Our thanks to Marzio and his team for a memorable holiday.

This is a modern three-storey villa built in a traditional style, set 124 feet above sea level with stunning views stretching for miles along the Cilento coast. The villa is comfortably furnished in a contemporary style and each level is self-contained making it ideal for larger groups. Outside there is ample space for everyone to come together and enjoy the stunning sea views from one of the many terraces, lounge in the shade of a huge Mediterranean oak tree, soak up the sun around the pool, or enjoy a meal on the rustic ‘taverna’ dining terrace. All the accommodation have light , bright and airy atmospheres and are furnished in a simple and elegant taste. It is the ideal solution for family meetings at the beach. It creates opportunities to share social occasions and at the same time to maintain your own privacy.
Directly managed by the owners with great care Villa Le Cannicelle is positioned on a panoramic hillside facing the sea, just 600 meters from Villammare long sandy beach , and commands a spectacular Mediterranean vista - views stretching down to the farthest mountains of the Calabria region (the mountain range that soars above Diamante and Paola) on one side and as far as the Punta (Cape) of the Infreschi and the wild coastal tract bearing the same name between Scario and Marina di Camerota on the other side. Two thirds of the estate is covered with lush woodland thick with cork oak, a plant typical of the environmental niche stretching along the coastline of the Bay of Policastro between S. Marina and Sapri. Surrounded by a big enclosed garden, it is the perfect accommodation for families with children and for those who wish to take their pets on holiday with them.
The villa is extremely spacious and well equipped with numerous terraces on which to relax with a glass of wine and soak in the views before dining together on the wonderful covered taverna area with its pizza oven and barbecue. A little piece of paradise for families and friends wishing to escape their busy city lives and experiencing the authentic Italian dolce vita and a truly memorable villa holiday at the beach.
As an exclusive service for guests staying at Villa Le Cannicelle, the local AVIS office can arrange one-way or return transfers from the airport to the villa. They can also deliver your rental car directly to the garden of the villa on your day of arrival. Please don't hesitate to ask for contact details of the local manager.
Private skippered boat can be arranged on request for trips to Sapri, Palinuro, Porto Infreschi, Acquafredda, Scario or Maratea beaches where you can watch the sun set or visit some of the many natural sea caves with their mesmerizing, colorful reflections. These are holiday memories to treasure for a lifetime.
Daily tours to Napoli, Pompei, Herculaneum, Matera. During summer months guests can reach the Amalfi Coast, Positano, Sorrento and the island of Capri by hydrofoil from Sapri harbour – the perfect way to enjoy the Amalfi coast without staying in the tourist hustle and bustle!
