This property is in the classic
style of old traditional farmhouse dwellings. It requires
renovation though when finished will provide ample
accommodation for a large family. It has the potential
for a secluded retreat for either private or commercial
use, being suitable for agriturismo
(eco-lodge)
Externally and internally the villa is well cared
for, and its arrangement is accommodating as either
a family dwelling, or as a seaside retreat for retired
or business professionals wishing to enjoy the beauty
and tranquility of the Cilento coast.
It is easily reached from Castellabate a few kilometres
away, a village itself directly on the shores of the
Mediterranean, providing all of the necessary local
amenities, shops and services.
Local Delights:
The sea, olive trees, olive oil, wine, fresh air,
pristine landscapes, longevity and philosophical
contemplation.
The Cilento region has become famous for its inhabitants'
long-lived lives, probably due to a combination of
high oxygen (you can definitely sniff it early morning),
olive oil (believe us, its the best), chili peppers
and, if the locals are to be believed, having many
children. However, for men, you are advised to bring
your own women -at least to start - and women, you
are advised to keep an eye on your men.
Moreover, this part of cilento is littered with signs
of early "philosophical activity", dating
back to the 6th Century BC. Indeed, the whole of the
Cilento Coast was inhabited by some of the greatest
philosophers of all time, among them Parmenides -he
who asked "Why, prey tell, is there something
rather than nothing?" He was of course referring
to the universe, why it existed in the first place,
and for that, he set off an enquiry that remains unresolved
till today. You are invited to try your hand at finding
an answer, especially if you also come to live in
this most splendid part of the world. If you don't
quite find the answer though, you can console yourself
with excellent wine and delicious cuisine, among other
delights.
Over all comments:
A stunning property, elegantly traditional to the
highest standards. Enjoy sophistication and simplicity,
nature and quality yet not be far away from centres
of activity and interest. Perfect for families, couples,
retired, writers, musicians artist and probably almost
anyone except philosophers, for they are sadly usually
rather poor (unless you are the exception).
