Together with my sister Antonietta, we are the proud owners of this exclusive villa overlooking the sea in Villammare, nestled within the Cilento National Park.

As owners, we personally oversee every detail to ensure the highest standards of quality, comfort, and warm hospitality. If you’re dreaming of a villa holiday with a private pool along the Cilento coast, between Palinuro and Maratea, we would be delighted to welcome you.

The timeless charm of the Cilento Coast paired with an attentive yet discreet hospitality.
Villa Le Cannicelle set in the lush coastal countryside is the perfect hideaway for those who want to be surrounded by the beauty of the Italian coastline but also well-placed for striking out to explore the most famous sights along the coast.
The villa sits halfway between Palinuro and Maratea, ideal for day trips and boat excursions but at the same time far from the chaos and crowds.
This holiday rental boasts elegant interiors that offer all the luxury amenities, together with breathtaking views of the Italian coast, and spacious outdoor areas that include a super panoramic private infinity pool.
A poolside terrace hanging over the hill’s edge constantly calls at this classic villa in Villammare, Cilento Coast, close to Maratea and Palinuro.
A wooden gazebo and parasols let you dine alfresco in sun or shade, and stone stairs lead from the villa to the grand summer kitchen and the garden.
Dip in the swimming pool and rinse off alfresco, sip a glass of wine on one of the many terraces of the villa, journal at a writer’s desk overlooking the sea, and drive just 2 minutes down to Villammare beach or to the “Marina”.
Villa Le Cannicelle pairs the charm of traditional coastal architecture – including arched windows, square stone columns, and bright Mediterranean colors – with the comforts of a luxury accommodation.
One of the features guests at Villa Le Cannicelle love most are the stunning common spaces, including panoramic terraces furnished with dining areas, lounging areas, and shaded areas.
Here you can relax over a cocktail or with a good book and enjoy the unparalleled views over the Cilento Coast and Maratea as the sun sets.
There is also a private infinity swimming pool reserved for guests, and a fully equipped summer kitchen with built-in barbecue and authentic wood fired pizza oven.

We want our guests to feel completely free and relaxed, as if they were in their own home. At the same time, we want them to feel cared for and pampered, just like they would if they were staying in a luxury hotel
The interiors of the villa measure a total of 300sqm. Then there are about 400sqm terracotta tiles and stone paved terraces split on the different levels of the property and over 2000sqm. of garden and grounds which include a 12m x 6m infinity swimming pool (depth 1.20m-2.40m) and ample parking area on site for up to 10 cars.
We understand how much of a pain it is when you get to an airport after a certain number of hours flying, to then have to endure a long journey to get to the place you’re staying. If you are travelling from abroad, Villa Le Cannicelle is easily accessible in about 2 hours driving from Napoli Airport. As an exclusive service for our guests, the local car rental office can arrange one-way or return transfers from the airport to the villa or even arrange to have your rental car delivered directly to the villa. Please don’t hesitate to ask for contacts of the local manager.
The beach is very close and the “marina” of Villammare is less than 1 mile therefore is possible walk but car is recommended because the last part of the road to the villa is quite steep – it is the villa’s elevated position that provides such beautiful views!. A rental car will also allow you to take day trips all over Cilento National Park and the Amalfi Coast at your own pace, without having to rely on public transport or taxi service, which can become very expensive if used everyday.
The attractions and advantages offered by a villa for a family holiday are many, including access to your own private facilities and the freedom to use them whenever you wish. Knowing the kids can run around happily, independently and safely, without worrying about other guests is a real plus. Although Villa Le Cannicelle is a great villa for families, toddlers and young children will always need to be supervised by their parents. There is no lifeguard in the swimming pool therefore guests must be fully responsible for the safety of themselves and of their own children in the pool area.
You don’t have to leave him behind as in general here at Villa Le Cannicelle we are happy to have your dog or pet as guest. There are obviously rules but you can bring your pet with you, so the whole family is on holiday together. We will be happy to discuss it with you in details before reservation.
Our number one priority is the well-being, health and safety of our guests and team members. Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic we offer enhanced cleaning and safety measures: areas and especially high-touch surfaces are cleaned with disinfectant, all towels and bedding professionally washed and sanitized between stays, masks and protective equipment is used by our staff during cleaning and when in contact with customers.
Yes. Cleaning staff clean the villa and change sheets and towels. This service provides 4 hours a day from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm for 6 days a week. Linen changing includes change of bed linen once a week and bathroom linen twice a week.
The costs of water, gas and electricity are included in the price – as is the final cleaning. Eventual extra services should be paid for separately.
Boat trips are not to be missed. Private skippered boat can be arranged on request for trips to Sapri, Palinuro, Porto Infreschi, Acquafredda, Scario or Maratea beaches where you can watch the sunset or visit some of the many natural sea caves with their mesmerizing colorful reflections.
We are not an hotel but we want our guests to feel cared for and pampered during their stay at the villa therefore we will be more than pleased to assist you with tips, reservations, travel arrangements and tours of the local attractions. Whether you want a fully-stocked fridge, a local in-house chef to cook your meals or any other extra service we will happily grant your wishes.
Pasta, pizza and dishes made with the fantastically-fresh fish caught in the sea surrounding Villammare: local chefs know how to make all of the Cilento Coast best loved specialties – to perfection. This said, ingredients which are not locally grown or not normally used in Italian cooking can be hard to come by in Villammare so, if you want something exotic or ethnic, you will need to organize it in advance.
We recommend our guests make their own vacation insurance arrangements. A travel protection plan can include coverage for trip cancellation, trip Interruption, medical emergency, trip or baggage delay and more. A web search for “travel insurance” will yield many reputable companies. Travel insurance for Italy could be booked with Heymondo which also covers cancellations in case a new travel warning is issued for your destination, for events such as the Department of Foreign Affairs issuing a Do Not Travel warning to a specific region or country and that warning was first given after you booked the trip.
