La Piccola Rupestre – Holiday apartment at Marina di Camerota

The little sister of Villa Nicoletta

La Piccola Rupestre might be called the little sister of Villa Nicoletta. The lovely holiday apartment on Marina di Camerota's Monte di Luna was 'born' when the Gelardi siblings decided to redo the former in-law apartment at their parents’ house. At the beginning of 2020, the rooms were renovated and furnished with, amongst others, a new kitchen, new bathrooms and new windows with fly screens.

The spacious, completely fenced premises the two houses share are home to countless old olive trees and offer an appealing panoramic view of the sea and the coast. To get to Lentiscelle beach you need only follow a foot path outside the property for ca. 900 m. Monte di Luna is also a perfect starting point for hiking tours in marine nature park Infreschi. A hiking trail runs along the ridge of the unique steep coast to Baia Infreschi. In between, several idyllic, sandy beach bays wait to be discovered.
