Internal Description

External
There are 10,000 square metres of grounds mainly covered in olive trees which are a good source of income
Local Delights: The sea, olive trees, olive oil, wine, fresh air, pristine landscapes, longevity and philosophical contemplation. The many archeological sites, including the Greco-Roman temples at Paestum and Elea are a short drive (20 minutes).
The Cilento region has become famous for its inhabitants' long-lived lives, probably due to a combination of high oxygen, olive oil (one of the best in the world), chili peppers and, if the locals are anything to go by, having many children.
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, Pythagoras and Zeno. If you don't quite find the answer they were searching however, you may console yourself with excellent wine and delicious cuisine, among other delights.
Over all comments: Good potential, close to the sea. Enjoy simplicity, nature and quality yet not be far away from centres of activity and interest.
