Villa Gianpaola - Holiday home at Casal Velino

Timeout at the Cilento National Park

Amidst green, between the fishing village of Pioppi and the mountain village of Casal Velino lies cozy and very well-tended Villa Gianpaola. The holiday home of family Voiro 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 its 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. For us it is without doubt the 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 dependances not be booked for use by the guests, they remain closed and unoccupied. The main house covers two floors and accommodates up to six persons.

On the lower floor of the main house, there is a bedroom with double bed, en-suite bathroom with bathtub with shower device and access of the terrace. The kitchen, the living room, which is of open layout and opens onto the sea view terrace, as well as a guest bath, where you find a washing machine at your disposal, are also located on this floor. 

Furnishing of the living room includes two sofas, one of which can be converted into a bed for two, a fireplace and dining furniture in the dining area.

The very well appointed kitchen is equipped with, amongst others, gas stove, oven, refrigerator with freezer compartment, dish washer, filter coffee machine and toaster. Furnishing of Villa Gianpaola furthermore includes SAT-TV, air conditioning, WiFi, fly screens, children's bed and highchair as well as hair dryer.

A furnished and partly roofed sea view terrace runs round the whole lower floor of the main house.

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 as well as en-suite bathroom with shower cabin. The room offers a breathtaking view and opens onto a fantastic sea view sun terrace, from where your gaze roams as far as the Cape of Palinuro, which is, after all, 30 km from Villa Gianpaola.

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 dependance includes a semi-open sleeping area with double bed, a bathroom with shower and a living/dining area with kitchenette. One of the dependances 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 lies right in the middle, so to speak, between the northern part and the southern part of the Cilento. Destinations such as Paestum, Castellabate, Palinuro and maritime wildlife park Infreschi as well as beaches are quickly and easily reached by car. The nearest sandy beaches are found at Marina di Casal Velino, which is ca. 3 km from Villa Gianpaola.

The smaller, yet very idyllic fishing village of Pioppi is about 5 km from the holiday home. 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. Germano Monzo's oil mill „Pietrabianca” is also located at Marina di Casal Velino. You can purchase not only high-quality, local olive oil there, but also 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)
