Villa Gianpaola - Holiday home at Casal Velino

Timeout at the Cilento National Park

Family Voiro's elegant, very well-tended holiday home Villa Gianpaola lies amidst green, in exclusive location between the fishing village of Pioppi and the mountain village of Casal Velino. It is surrounded by a ca. 4000 m², fenced property, which harbors an impressive, Mediterranean flora. 

From the villa's beautiful outdoor areas the most appealing faces of the Cilento National Park are always within view - the unbuilt, wild-romantic coast and the green hilly landscape with olive groves and fig trees, which further inland gives way to mountains and chestnut woods. 

Given the gorgeous location of and the unique panorama at Villa Gianpaola, a relaxed mood takes hold of you almost immediately. We consider it a perfect place at which to spend one's well-earned timeout.

Elegant holiday home with 3 dependances

Villa Gianpaola includes a main house and three dependances. Should the latter not be booked for use by the guests, they remain closed and unoccupied. The main house for up to 6 persons covers 2 floors.

On the lower floor of the main house,  you have got a very well appointed kitchen with, amongst others, gas stove, oven, refrigerator with freezer compartment, dish washer, filter coffee machine and toaster. The living-dining room is of open layout and opens onto the sea view terrace; furnishing includes two sofas, one of which can be converted into a bed for two, a fireplace and dining furniture. A bedroom with double bed, en-suite bathroom with bathtub with shower device and access of the terrace as well as a guest bath, where you find a washing machine at your disposal, are also located on this floor. 
A furnished, partly roofed sea view terrace runs round the whole lower floor of the main house.

Villa Gianpaola also features SAT-TV, air conditioning, WiFi, fly screens, children's bed and highchair as well as hair dryer.

Upper floor and panorama sun terrace with a view of Capo Palinuro

A spiral staircase runs from the living area of the main house to the upper (attic) floor and to the second bedroom with double bed, air conditioning, en-suite bathroom with shower cabin and a breathtaking view. The room opens onto a fantastic sea view sun terrace, from where your gaze roams as far as the Cape of Palinuro 30 km off.

Three dependances for two persons each

On the ground floor, below the living area of the main house, lie Villa Gianpaola's dependances, three separate accommodation units. Each unit includes a semi-open sleeping area with double bed, a bathroom with shower and a living/dining area with kitchenette. One of the units is furnished with a queen-size bed and therefore recommended for occupancy by one grown-up person.

The dependances offer direct access of the furnished outdoor area with sea view, outdoor shower and roofed barbecue area behind the house.

Holidays in the heart of the Cilento

Casal Velino is very conveniently located. By car destinations such as Paestum, Castellabate, Palinuro and marine nature park Infreschi as well as beaches are quickly and easily reached. The nearest sandy beaches are found at Marina di Casal Velino, ca. 3 km from Villa Gianpaola.

Smaller, yet very idyllic Pioppo is about 5 km off. It is known for its maritime museum and as the 'birthplace' of countless studies on the Mediterranean diet, which the American Ancel Keys started on at Pioppi. This spirit is found and kept alive at the restaurants onsite, where you can really enjoy delicious dishes - for example at Suscettibile with its great sea view terrace and at La Caupona right by the sea.

Shopping is done at Casal Velino or at Marina, where you find grocery stores, markets and greengroceries. At Germano Monzo's oil mill "Pietrabianca" at Marina di Casal Velino you can purchase high-quality, local olive oil  as well as honey, herbs, marinated olives, patés and much more - of course home-produced and home-made.

Nearest train station: Marina di Ascea (ca. 10 km)
Nearest airport: Naples (ca. 140 km)
