Welcome to your dream holiday villa on the Cilento Coast in Italy. Villa Le Cannicelle, set above the lively town of Villammare, is the perfect place to sunbathe and take in the Mediterranean sea.
Experience Cilento Coast at its finest - amidst lush gardens, endless terraces, sea views, and a panoramic pool with Villammare at your feet.

Villa Cannicelle is a traditional, Italian style with accommodation on 3 levels, a private pool and enjoys wonderful sea views from its elevated position, stretching for miles along the Cilento coast.  The villa’s hillside is positioned to enjoy the surrounding Mediterrean views and is just 600 metres from "Santa Maria Le Piane" sandy beach. The ancient, relatively unspoilt fishing village of Villamare and the marina is approximately 1 mile away providing an autentic glimpse of Italy .The village sits at the foot of Cilento National Park, on the rugged and unspoilt Tyrrhenian coast, with its long beaches, colourful Mediterranean flora and seafronts lined with palms and eucalyptus trees. Villammare offers a small selection of bars and restaurants and during the summer months there are lively beach cafes available.

The "marina" of Villammare is less than 1 mile therefore possible to wallk, but a car is recommended because the last part of the road to the villa is quite steep  ( its the villas' elevated position that provides such beautiful views!).
