Villa Carmela - Holiday home in Ogliastro Marina (Castellabate)

Ogliastro Marina is, without doubt, one of the most idyllic holiday resorts on the northern Cilento coast.

It is in this small and tranquil fishing village at the southern end of Punta Licosa, not far from the sea and from beautiful Piazza Giovanni Paolo II, that Villa Carmela lies hidden.

A well-tended, small front garden with palm trees and red hibiscus welcomes you to the spacious, two-storey holiday home and gives rise to holiday feelings. 

From the balcony on the upper floor you enjoy a fantastic view of the sea.

The fine sandy beaches, which are characteristic for this part of the Cilento, are at a walking distance of only about 300 m.

One of Castellabate’s best fish restaurants,  Hotel da Carmine, is also nearby, only ca. 150 m from Villa Carmela.

The holiday home

Villa Carmela covers two floors and accommodates up to six persons. It includes three double bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as a spacious living-dining room and a spacious kitchen.

The ground floor of the well-tended villa is, for the most part, living space. One double bedroom and an adjacent bathroom with shower cabin, WC and bidet are found on this floor. There is also an extra laundry room with washing machine and wash basin.

The modern kitchen offers a lot of space and comfort.

It is equipped with 5-burner gas stove, oven, dish washer, microwave and refrigerator with freezer compartment as well as dining furniture.

The kitchen is bright and light flooded due to the large French windows, which offer access of the roofed terrace and the garden.

A glass sliding door separates the kitchen from the comfortable living room of Villa Carmela, which also opens onto the garden and the terrace.

There is a cozy sofa corner at the fireside, where, should days in spring be cool, you feel snug in front of the fire.

The dining area at the rear of the room is furnished with a table, chairs and an elegant wooden cupboard.

The upper floor includes two double bedrooms as well as the owners’ private area, which is, however, not used.

The larger bedroom lets you onto the balcony, which runs the length of the house and offers an open and terrific view of the sea.  

Besides, there is a bathroom with WC, bidet and shower with massaging spray settings on the upper floor. 

Furnishing of Villa Carmela includes Sat-TV, WLAN, children’s cot and underfloor heating. There is parking for up to two cars on the fenced premises.

You can do your ‘small’ shopping about 200 m from the holiday home, at a so-called mini-market. Big shopping can be done at the supermarket 2 km off.

Hotel da Carmine and its excellent restaurant, which is open not only to guests of the hotel at noon and in the evenings, are within walking distance of Villa Carmela. There are also some small bars in the village.

Ogliastro Marina is ideal for all kinds of vacationers, whether you are seeking bathing, hiking or culinary delights. The village hugs a bay which is lined by small, but fine sandy beaches. Long and beautiful sandy beaches are found on the other side of the promontory of Punta Licosa, near the towns of San Marco and Santa Maria di Castellabate. 

From a culinary point of view, an excursion to those two towns is also worthwhile. Lining the seaside promenade, terrific fish restaurants offer not only a unique maritime atmosphere, but also the unique Cilento cuisine, including the typical alici (anchovies), Cavatelli alla cilentana (pasta), Caccioricotta (cheese) and much more.

A hiking trail runs right along the seaside from Punta Ogliastro via Punta Licosa to San Marco di Castellabate. The small, charming headland was named for Leucosia, a siren who sought death there. On very clear days, you enjoy a fantastic panorama.

Nearest train station: Agropoli – Castellabate (ca. 20 km).
