Casa Rizzo: Holiday apartment at Agropoli

„Buongiorno, just look at that terrific vista of Baia di Trentova!“ are the words Signora Antonietta welcomes us with in her realm. And, indeed, our eyes meet with a landscape of green rolling hills which gradually end at one of the northern Cilento’s most beautiful bathing bays. 

The small residence at Agropoli with its six lovingly designed apartments and colorful outdoor area is located on a rise which lies somewhat apart between the historic town of Agropoli and the wide sandy beach of the said bathing bay. Within a radius of only about 1 km, you can enjoy both cultural highlights and the fascinating landscape of the Cilento National Park.  

The holiday apartment - friendly atmosphere, comfortable furnishing

From among Antonietta’s individually designed apartments, it was holiday apartment "Stella" on the upper floor which really caught our eye and which we have finally chosen exclusively for your holidays.

Upon entering the apartment you find yourself in the living-dining room with kitchenette. Furthermore, there is a bathroom (shower, WC, bidet) as well as a bedroom with access of the roofed balcony, which is screened from view. Start off your day with breakfast on the balcony and with the breathtaking, far reaching view of the bay of Trentova.

The bedroom is bright with a sunny touch and furnished with a double bed as well as a bunk bed suitable for children.

The kitchenette is held in blue and reminds you of the nearby sea. It includes 4-burner gas stove, small oven, refrigerator with freezer compartment as well as all kinds of kitchen utensils you need every day. Dining furniture for four and a small sofa, which may well be suitable for a short siesta, too, are also found in the combined kitchen-living-dining room.  

Further furnishing of your holiday apartment

Casa Rizzo offers not only amenities such as SAT-TV and internet (WLAN), but also air conditioning with heating system. A children’s cot for very young guests can be provided upon request. An outdoor shower and a washing machine are for shared use.  

Outdoor area of Casa Rizzo

Cozy and colorful – that is what the outdoor area of Casa Rizzo is like. The large inner courtyard is not only a parking area, but a real eye-catcher with its colorfully tiled arches and the artfully grown Mediterranean plants. At dusk, with the arches subtly illuminated, the atmosphere is close to magic.

Above the inner courtyard, owner Antonietta has arranged a sun terrace for apartment Stella as well as the two neighboring holiday apartments. If you love the Italian sun, relax on the sunbeds and chairs whenever you want, recharge your batteries and escape everyday life for a while.  

Parking is available on the fenced premises.

Surroundings: Hiking, bathing and more

Baia di Trentova, which stretches out charmingly before your eyes, is about 1 km from Casa Rizzo. If you don’t mind the ascent and descent, you can even walk to the bright, fine sandy beach with its characteristic rock. Legend has it that once upon a time 30 gulls’ eggs – trenta uova – were found beneath this rock, hence the name of the bay.

Not towards Baia di Trentova, but in the opposite direction and ca. 1.5 km off lies Agropoli with its picturesque harbor and lovely, well-preserved Old Town. Quite a number of restaurants and bars, museums, churches and hidden chapels are found there, but the town’s landmark also sits enthroned there – Castello Aragonese.

During the summer months, there are good maritime connections to the Amalfi Coast, which you might profit from should you consider an excursion to the "Divine Coast".

Our nature and culture tips

The hiking trail to Punta Tresino and further on to Santa Maria di Castellabate is not far from Casa Rizzo. The panorama to both sides of the small headland is amazing. To the north, you see Agropoli and the Gulf of Salerno stretching out. To the south, you see Punta Licosa – another worthwhile hiking destination in the area.

Castello Aragonese is not only an impressive reminder of Agropoli’s eventful past, but also a unique venue for open-air concerts, dance and theater performances as well as themed markets during summer season. 

Nearest train station: Agropoli-Castellabate (ca. 4 km)
