Villa Nerola is unique. It is a detached homely self catering cottage for two people set in stunning countryside with spectacular sea views and sunsets (guests tell us the photos don't do the property nor the view justice). You instantly have a sense of being on top of the world in this little piece of paradise.
The self catering cottage and our farmhouse are set in 5 acres of land and countryside bordering the Cilento National Park. It makes a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sense of calm and tranquility that is so hard to find these days.
It is only a 15 minute drive to the sandy beach at Baia di Trentova just outside Agropoli and there are plenty of other beaches in pretty coastal villages to choose from within a 30 minute drive such as Santa Maria di Castellabate, San Marco di Castellabate, Ogliastro Marina, Acciaroli .......... to name but a few.
The self catering cottage has a galleried bedroom overlooking the sitting room, spacious open plan living and all you will need for a self catering holiday (including sunhats). It has a private patio to the front and private lawned garden to the side surrounded by shrubs and plants. On the lower terrace there is a private plunge pool from the end of May to September. In the spring and autumn this area provides another space to eat al fresco and admire the view. All the areas to the front and side of the self catering cottage have a sea view, even from the hammock which is behind the pool. It isn't overlooked by any neighbours.
