Casale Le Lesche - Holiday home at Pioppi

Comfortable rustico with pool near the sea

Careful and elaborate renovation has, over the years, turned this rural 19th century estate above the town of Pioppi into a picture-postcard holiday home. Casale Le Lesche’s fantastic location in the midst of the Cilento’s green hilly landscape and the marvelous view of the sea are fascinating.

The friendly and considerate owning family has done their utmost to create an oasis of well-being for their guests. You are welcome to take long walks or strolls on the 3,000 m² premises and enjoy the fragrance of the Mediterranean vegetation and the view of the cobalt blue sea.
