Casale Torone - Holiday apartment in Paestum

Upon the green hills between Agropoli and Paestum, in amazing panoramic location, the country estate Casale Torone was built at the end of the 19th century. 

Roberto Pisani, who has extravagantly restored the stone main structure with the adjoining guest house (Villino Torone), does not enthuse himself about the romantic sunsets for nothing, when the sun disappears in gleaming colours behind the soft hillcrests into the sea. 

The sandy beach at Agropoli is reached after only a couple of minutes’ drive, within 5 km distance. The famous temples of Paestum are about 10 km away.

Your holiday apartment, which is located on the first floor of the two-story main building, is accessed via a separate exterior entrance. 

The interior of the apartment is shaped mainly by beautiful massive wooden furniture, which underlines the compassionate, rural flair. Walls of half a metre provide for comfortable temperatures even in summer.

The spacious flat offers a kitchen/dining room with chimney, a living room with French balcony, a double bedroom with spare bed and a single bedroom. Additionally, you will find two bathrooms. 

The double bedroom has a large bathroom with bathtub/WC/bidet (access also from the hallway); from the living room you reach the small bathroom with shower/WC/bidet. From the double bedroom and the balcony you have a view of the sea.

Another marvellous sea view you enjoy from the ample stone terrace belonging to the apartment.

The gaze wanders across the gulf of Salerno to the Amalfi coast, all the way to the island of Capri

Additional features of the apartment are a washing machine for common use of all guests on the ground floor of the Casale, as well as TV.

Those who set value on healthy localy produced food are quite on the right spot. The owner, Mr. Roberto Pisani cultivates fruits and vegetables without use of pesticides or chemical fertilizer. He further produces bread of natural sourdough and offers selfmade jam and biological oil as well as wine.

All those delicacies can be tried and of course also buied on site.

On demand Signor Pisani will be happy to arrange contact to the local shepherd who sells his selfmade sheep cheese.

The 8,000 sqm property is home to a large variety of plants, e.g. olive and fruit trees.

Your car may be parked on the property.

The nearest grocery stores are found 1.5 km away in the small mountain village of Ogliastro Cilento, the community which Casale Torone belongs to.

The owner of Casale Torone speaks english.
