LA DOLCE VILLA: a charming Mediterranean place with a beautiful relaxing garden

La Dolce Villa is a perfect spring / summer getaway for friends or family. The house is located on the corner of a quiet private street: a beautiful garden surrounds the property with the scents of typical Mediterranean trees and herbs (Fig, Rosemary. Bougainvillea). There is a beautiful large patio where you can spend time relaxing, dining, chilling out on comfortable couches and lounge chairs or just having fun: a wonderful old dining table can host comfortably 10 people for breakfast, dinner or lunch. This nice table is situated outside, with easy access from the kitchen. There is also a professional barbecue place where you can test you grilling skills.
We have to say that the real "unique star" of the outdoor area is a professional Italian wood stove to cook (and eat). If needed, we can put you in contact with a professional Pizzaiolo (Pizza Chef) who will cook all your favorite hand-made traditional pizzas, right in front of you ... in your villa with your friends and family. Not just "eating Italian" yet "fully experiencing the Italian classic food in a typical Mediterranean beach house.
The house is very entertaining, great for fun or quiet relaxation on a very private backyard. Great for families or friends vacationing together.
The restoration of the building was just completed. The whole villa has been beautifully renovated to make it even more comfortable, charming and suitable to all your needs.
This fully equipped villa itself is around 400 square meters and has 2 floors:
-The ground level offers an extremely large open concept main living space featuring a huge living room, the big patio and a spacious fully equipped kitchen (including a useful pantry for cooking, a working fire place, a private BBQ and a dishwasher). There is a master bedroom with private bathroom (with charming "cave shower") and direct access to the garden. An additional large bathroom with shower completes this level
-The upper level includes 4 bedrooms with queen beds, 1 bathroom and 2 terraces overlooking the garden. The largest room serves as the master bedroom with direct access to the private terrace.
In the house you will find:
-Pantry plenty of pots / pans and utensils, new stove / oven and microwave
-Washing machine and dishwasher
-TV, DVD, iPod stereo system
-Linens, comforters, towels and pillows
-Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys
-Outside Shower
-Parking area inside and outside the property.
This one of a kind property will not disappoint! La Dolce Villa is your home away from home. We want our guests to feel comfortable and safe in a clean and well-maintained charming home.
La Dolce Villa is right in the center of the Cilento National Park and the Marine Protected Area (all the beaches). "Zona Lago" is an exclusive area of Santa Maria di Castellabate featuring beautiful homes, Mediterranean trees, a beautiful beach, grocery store and many great eateries and bars near the harbor. All within a walking distance, including a good tennis court.
We are 10 minute drive to the town, 20 minute drive to Castellabate, the ancient yet entertaining medieval village: World Heritage Site of UNESCO (a must visit!), 40 minute drive to Paestum Archeological Site where the most beautiful ancient Greek Temples symbolize the long history of the cultural area.
Guests have access to everything. We use this house and it is not a full time rental. We expect guests to treat it with the respect that they would their own home.
Have fun! Call us if there are any questions or issues. We are accessible by cell phone and have a local realtor who can assist in emergency situations
Our children want to add that Baffo has the best gelato, La Bufalina has the best mozzarella and Le Gatte is the best restaurant (they are close friends and you -as our guests- will have a special treatment and a discount).

Fantastic holiday house!
As advertised, helpful friendly host/ property manager. Fantastic beach, crystal clear see few months n away. Lido Pompeo is only 7 min away 😊 We were 3 families and there was plenty of space. Amazing patio where we spent lovely evenings, having dinner altogether. One thing I would kindly advise to the owner is to improve materasses and pillows. Thanks!

Almost paradise
There are some cons - local biting black flies, thin mattresses, an indoor dining area - but the overall impression of La Dolce Villa was was very satisfying, especially since we are a large family who stayed for a month. Patrizia and Marco are very attentive, helpful and friendly. They were prompt and extremely helpful during a minor medical emergency. In addition to being a short walk to a beautiful beach and 10 minute drive into the wonderful town of Castellabate, there’s the lovely, tiny village of Trezene near the beach. We had a great, unique and complete holiday that would be hard to match anywhere else.

Paradise!
My family of three generations had an amazing 16 day vacation at this villa! We found it equipped with all that we needed to feel as if we were at home, and the lay-out provides ample privacy for everyone. The outdoor spaces are unparalleled-- comfortable furnishings and beautiful gardens. Patrizia, the property manager, is a true gem; she was always a mere text away and attended to our every need and inquiry. The public (BEAUTIFUL) beach and a well-stocked market are just a short walk away. From the moment we checked in, we began planning a return trip. Patrizia has the "inside" scoop on the best dining in the area; do not miss Cosantino's Parnasso or Sangiovanni Winery. The pizza chefs who are available to cook at the villa are the most fun, and their pizzas are exquisite. Paestum is just a short drive away and is breathtaking. What a fantastic holiday!

Lovely property
Very relaxing. Some amenities could improve the experience, ie. toilet paper and coffee. We arrived late and had no way of getting supplies until the following day. Thank goodness for the help we received from the overseer who brought us a fabulous dinner, wine, and limoncello for 10 our first night. This gentleman also brought us milk and coffee on the first morning. The location is relatively remote, and it was low season. Walking to restaurants and shopping was not an option. We had a fabulous time in S.M. Castellabate!

Cozy quiet villa close to the seashore
We stayed at the villa in June 2017. The villa is perfect for families with kids, it has a lot of bedrooms and a huge cool terrace. The kitchen is well equiped. The host was very helpful. The beach is 5 min walk from the villa and it is the most perfect beach in the area! The only thing we would wish to have was a good barbeque device.

La dolce villa
La proprietà è molto spaziosa e confortevole. Il giardino ben curato. Particolarmente utile il patio coperto con un largo tavolo dove possono sedersi comodamente fino ad 8 persone. La villa sorge in una zona residenziale molto tranquilla. La distanza dal mare è di circa 5 minuti a piedi.Unico aspetto da implementare è la pulizia deI divani che richiederebbero un lavaggio approfondito.

Consigliatissimo!!!!!
Abbiamo soggiornato nella villa di Fabrizio e Maria per 15 giorni con famiglia e amici. Eravamo in 11. Pulizia della casa ottima, casa molto accogliente con tutti i comfort! Figli e amici entusiasti della cucina e del giardino. Cucina super attrezzata e comoda per mangiare all’esterno in compagnia. Giardino curato, una via di fuga per i bambini. Spiaggia comoda da raggiungere a piedi anche con i bimbi di 3-4 anni. Fabrizio disponibilissimo e rapido nelle risposte e nei consigli, idem Patrizia che si occupa dell’affitto e dei servizi in loco. Tutto perfetto!assolutamente da consigliare!

La villa è molto confortevole. Ha spazi esterni idonei per passare delle belle serate insieme. Abbiamo avuto modo di utilizzare il forno esterno cucinando delle ottime pizze. La posizione della villa è ottima. A piedi è possibile raggiungere in pochi minuti la spiaggia. Sicuramente consigliata a chi vuol trascorrere un soggiorno all’insegna del buon mare e della tranquillità

Tolle Villa mit super Ausstattung und guter Lage
Wir waren mit vier Generationen zwei Wochen lang in diesem schönen Haus. Auf der überdachten Terasse haben wir gemütlich zusammen gesessen, in der großen Küche gemeinsam gekocht und uns im Garten erholt. Es war genug Platz für alle zum Wohlfühlen und auch für unsere einjährige Tochter alles vorhanden (Bett, Hochstuhl) . Der Strand war sehr sauber und In nur 10 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen . Wir können die Villa nur empfehlen und werden gerne wieder kommen!

Wundervoll!
Ein wunderschönes Haus in dem es an nichts fehlt. Sehr gut gepflegt und sauber. Sehr nahe am Strand und ruhig gelegen. Das Zentrum von Santa Maria ist zu Fuß etwas weit. WiFi muss man explizit bestellen. Hatten wir nicht ersehen und mit einem 16 jährigen Teenager war es daher ungeschickt.
