Villa Santa Venere - Cinque Camere da Letto Villa, Ospiti Massimo 15

Villa Santa Venere is a traditional stone farmhouse surrounded by orchards, forests and olive groves in the province of Salerno, south-west Italy. Rurally located and yet close to the town of Pollica, the hamlet of Acciaroli and some of Italy’s most breath-taking beaches.   

You will find the villa at the end of a quiet lane on a hillside, surrounded only by lush greenery. The property comprises the main villa, which is a 2-storey farmhouse, and an additional two outbuildings. In total, the home can accommodate up to 15 guests, making it perfect for a trip with a larger group. 

The main house has three bedrooms upstairs, while downstairs has a cosy living room, a dining room and a kitchen. If you are travelling with a few couples or maybe a number of small family groups, then the two additional dwellings are fantastic for a bit of privacy, but still allow you to be able to come together over dinner. Each of the outbuildings has a double bedroom, a bathroom and a living space with a kitchen and a double sofa bed, so up to 4 guests can sleep in each.

The vast 5 hectares of grounds are shared between the three buildings and are a wonderful communal space. You could unwind in the private pool with a hydromassage feature, dine al-fresco or take a walk amongst the fruit trees in the orchard area. The garden even has a stream you can listen to as you sunbathe. 

This home's location is brilliant; you can enjoy spending time in the forests and countryside around the villa, but you will not feel isolated as the town of Pollica is 4km away and has all the amenities you need. Also 4km away is Acciaroli, a seaside hamlet with incredible beaches.

Location:

Villa Santa Venere is located within the Cilento National Park in the province of Salerno. Encompassing verdant mountains, vast wild coastlines, forests and pretty villages, this area is as magical as the nearby Amalfi coast but feels more authentic and less crowded. 

The closest town to the villa is Pollica, which is a mere 4km away and has a lovely old town with a good selection of bars, cafes and eateries. Originally settled around the 8th century by Greek refugees, Pollica is also packed with historic buildings to discover. The 13th-century Castle of Capano Princes dominates the landscape and is a great place to visit to learn more about the town's history. The town also has a number of ornate churches and former palaces to visit. 

Also 4km from the villa is Acciaroli, a charming fishing hamlet. Acciaroli is where you will find the nearest beaches, and there is an excellent range to choose from, whether you prefer a lido with sun loungers or a tranquil cove to take in the scenery after a coastal stroll. This tiny hamlet is famous because Ernest Hemmingway spent lots of time here and was very inspired by the place because there are around 300 centenarians living here! 

For an interesting day trip, you could explore one of the Ancient Greek archaeological sites nearby, such as Velia, 22km away. Velia is filled with staggering ruins and fortifications, first built by Phoenician settlers around 600 BC. An even bigger archaeological site and park called Paestum can be found 50km away.
