Villa dei Tordi - Holiday home at Scario

The panoramic view of the Gulf of Policastro counts without doubt among the most beautiful in the Cilento National Park. As the small fishing town of Scario is particularly blessed with this vista, it does not come as a surprise that well-to-do families from Rome, Naples and Salerno have chosen Zona Marcaneto above the original town center for their summer holidays between mountains, nature and sea, apart from any hustling and bustling.

It has developed into one of the most beautiful residential areas along the Cilento coast and that is where family Camajani’s Villa dei Tordi is located. Tordi are the thrushes which live in the woods around Scario and Monte Bulgheria and add their share to making one’s experience of nature in Italy’s second largest national park so unique. 

Stately Villa dei Tordi lies embedded in green on completely fenced premises. At the 'feet' of the two-storey holiday home with its large (picture) windows facing the sea, the Gulf of Policastro spreads out to form a fantastic setting with the mountains of the neighboring Basilicata region.

With its four double bedrooms, four bathrooms, kitchen and spacious living room the house offers a lot of space for up to 8 persons. The villa’s ground floor includes the living room with fireplace (not for use), sofa corner, dining area, Sat-TV and access of the furnished sea view terrace as well as the separate kitchen, which is equipped with, amongst others, stove (gas; one electric ring), oven, refrigerator with freezer compartment, dish washer, toaster and water kettle. 

The kitchen opens onto another terrace with dining furniture, masonry grill, pizza oven and outdoor shower. There is a small bathroom with shower cabin next to the kitchen; the washing machine, an ironing board and an iron are also found on the ground floor.

The four bedrooms, each with double bed, are found on the upper floor of the holiday home. The largest of the four bedrooms faces the Gulf of Policastro, is furnished with air conditioning and has an en-suite bathroom with shower cabin, WC and bidet. This bedroom and the smaller double across from it offer access of the sea view balcony, which runs the length of the house.  

Each of the other two bathrooms on the upper floor is equipped with masonry shower cabin, WC and bidet.

Villa dei Tordi is furnished with gas heating. A children’s cot can be provided. Two to three cars can be parked on the fenced premises. 

Simply relaxing on the spacious terrace with sea view and under the tall, impressive palm tree next to the house is easy.

Scario’s well-tended lungomare, which is lined by palm trees and at which the lovely church Immacolata is located, is about 900 m from Villa dei Tordi. There, right alongside the seaside, you find bars, inviting ice cream parlors, restaurants and small stores. A larger supermarket (SIGMA), which is open year-round, is located above the lungomare, right at the access road up to Zona Marcaneto. 

As of Easter, boat trips to the secluded bathing bays between Scario and Baia Infreschi are offered every day. The longer tours, so-called mini crociere, take you as far as the Cape of Palinuro. The nice, sandy beaches of Villammare are easy to reach by car.

Nearest train station: Policastro Bussentino (ca. 6 km)
