Property 194058

Location and Surrounding Area

With a panoramic position, Property 194058 is a lovely and carefully-restored villa with breathtaking views over the mountains and Tyrrhenian part of the Mediterranean Sea. Perfect for a stylish break on one of the most celebrated stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean, this charming villa is set on the hillside above the magnificent beaches of the exclusive resort of Maratea, which is known locally as the “pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea” and the “town of 44 churches” for its high number of historical buildings.

Much of Basilicata is an otherworldly landscape of mountain ranges, trackless forests and villages that seem to sprout organically from the granite. Not easily penetrated, it is strategically located. In the north the landscape is a fertile zone of gentle hills and valleys. The interior is dominated by the Lucanian Apennines and the Parco Nazionale del Pollino. The Tyrrhenian coast is a wonderland of rocky coves and villages. Here, Maratea is one of Italy's most charming seaside resorts.

Maratea offers a bustling marina and the steep slope up to the panoramic old town center is full of bars, restaurants and family-run trattorias serving authentic, local food. It has always been a magnet for both professional and amateur photographers, who come from all over to capture the pretty lanes, meandering steps and unexpected glimpses of the sparkling sea from hidden corners in the old town. There is a huge statue of Christ the Redeemer up on the hill, stretching his arms protectively over the town.

Any visit to the area should include the spectacular walking in either the Cilento National Park or the Pollino National Park. Both offer rugged mountain landscapes, breathtaking sea views and lively seaside towns along the western coast. The coastline is a stunning contrast of high cliffs, long sandy or pebbly beaches and hidden coves, which cry out to be explored by boat. Paestum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to three of the world's best preserved, Greek Temples.
