This splendid apartment is in the enviable position being directly on the seafront of Santa Maria di Castellabate and offers stunning views of the coast with its sandy beaches on one side whilst a stretch of azzure sea on the other side takes the eye as far as the Amalfi coast and the island of Capri. The apartment is within walking distance of the village centre with its shops cafes and general amenities. The newly renovated apartment is situated in a grandiose building which originally dates back to the 15th century but in its present form since the 18thc and once the residence of noble gentry, the building is a land mark in Santa Maria built directly on the rocks and seafront it was in later years the gathering point of fishermen who would dock their boats on the lower 'cantinas'. Today the main building retains its original features but has been converted into apartments.

Santa Maria di Castellabate is situated on the unspoilt Cilento coast in a National Parkland reserve 50km south of Salerno and the Amalfi coast. Its location means that it is somewhat off the 'tourist' track allowing it to preserve a natural Italian ambiance and yet is within easy reach of tourist attractions. It is ideally situated for those wishing to enjoy a holiday in a coastal region and also have access to places of historic and cultural interest. The medieval village of Castellabate dominates the hillside above Santa Maria and is a Unesco heritage site reached in a 10 minute drive whilst the neighbouring fishing village of San Marco can be reached in a short drive or walk along the beach. Day excursions offer the opportunity to visits the unspoilt coastline further south to Palinuro or north towards the Amalfi coast.

Situated on the 1st floor this large apartment consists of 2 bedrooms, 1 small twin and 1 double with balcony with sea view, a modern kitchen with washing machine, bathroom with shower and a spacious living/dining area which gives onto a large balcony ideal for outdoor dining, sunbathing or enjoying memorable sunsets. The entrance to the apartment is via a grandiose stairway which winds its way to the 1st floor beneath arches. The apartment itself is decorated in Mediterranean colours, the cool pastel walls and high ceilings further enhancing the feeling of space whilst colourful hand painted antique majolica flooring in the living area is typical of the Cilento area adding warmth and dimension. The living/dining area is tastefully decorated and contains a wooden table with sideboard cup-boards, sofa which converts to a sofabed, 2 armchairs and satellite Tv.
