Cilento… for summer!Between sea and hills there

The accommodation

We rent a 90 square meter apartment, 10 minutes from the sea in “Giungatelle-Montecorice (Sa)”.
Apartment of 2 bedroom (6 beds), kitchen, bathroom, large entrance, living room and a large balcony.Equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, oven.Common outdoor courtyard and free parking space.
It is located in a quiet area of the Cilento and “Vallo di Diano” National Park, just few minutes away some of the most beautiful beaches in the area (“Casa del Conte”, “Ogliastro”, “Punta Licosa”) and about 3/4 Km from the historical site of “Castellabate”.

Setting

At the junction of “Casa del Conte” leave the SS 267 towards “Perdifumo–Giungatelle”.
Here the road crosses a coil of docile curves, bordered by the Mediterranean scrub that, in some places, forms a shady knot. As soon as the "Giungatelle" sign appears, the facade of the “Belmare” complex can be seen at the top. A right turn and we arrived in the parking lot.

The house is surrounded by large spaces, sparse houses, where the taste for agriculture and the slow times of living in the countryside remained. The wild building of the 1980s of the last century was strangled in the bud even though some sign still remain. The locals' increased awareness of the value of the habitat has created new horizons in the field of tourism.

“Montecorice” center is about 70 km from the "Salerno - Reggio Calabria" highway, exiting "Battipaglia". Distance from Naples, 126 km. Estimated travel time 1h and 42 min.

Activities and attractions

Sea, mountains and hills: this is the secret of the Cilentan land that, in addition to the beautiful beaches, offers the possibility of going in search of the surrounding villages with their particular gastronomic and anthropological traditions.
“Castellabate”, the most famous, but also the little town of “Montecorice”, to reach which one follows an exciting stretch of coast before climbing into the village perched on the hill.

For organized excursions, just refer to the “Santa Maria di Castellabate” information point (major shopping and marine center just a few kilometers away) and at the local shops.
After a day of sun and sea, you can enjoy the coolness in the beautiful pine forest of “Ogliastro”, equipped also for children. While on "Cefalo" beach, you can organize trips to Punta Licosa with fishermen's boats. Here there is an equipped center for diving and windsurfing.

For dinner in the moonlight you can taste local products and more. Sandwiches and 'aperitivi' are served on the terrace overlooking the sea to the sound of international music.
There are also many village festivals, as well as discos located in the neighboring centers. A horse riding center is located in Giungatelle.
