Villa Sirena

Villa Sirena is a large luxury self-catering villa suitable for families and large groups, in South Campania. Within private gardens with a lovely pool, a stone’s throw from the sea and owned by a prince. What more could you want?

Villa Sirena is perfect for a large group of friends or family and, for such luxurious comfort in such an incredible spot in Punta Licosa. The uniqueness of this location is not to be underestimated. A gatehouse marks the entrance into the Principe di Belmonte estate at Punta Licosa. Exclusive and private, very few villas have been allowed within its six kilometres, which has been owned by this noble family for over 400 years. 4km or so down the private driveway brings you to the sea and the beautiful agritourist Villa Sirena. A UNESCO protected nature reserve and part of the famous Cilento Marine Park, the area is an idyllic slice of uncontaminated nature.

Just a stone’s throw from the water’s edge, with its very own stretch of the Cilento marine reserve, the luxury Villa Sirena nestles amongst Mediterranean pines, alongside the ancient ruins of a Roman fort, a castello by the sea and the Belmonte family chapel. Offshore and close by lies the tiny island of Licosa, with its picturesque lighthouse.

The luxurious Villa Sirena is an imposing, traditional stone house, which was a former hunting lodge, and, in times gone by, the Belmonte family guests used to visit to hunt wild boar, quail and other game, in the surrounding woods. Set in its own extensive grounds, there seems to be endless space around Villa Sirena, just for this glorious villa. Perfect for outdoor living, its fabulous terraces, with cushioned seating, rattan comfy chairs and dining areas, stretch along the back of the villa and is a great spot to catch up with friends and family and spend quality time in total tranquility. Glimpses of the sea can be seen through pines and from the garden, which blossoms with perfumed jasmine, honeysuckle, bougainvillea and other shrubs. A separate, palm-covered gazebo in the garden of Villa Sirena provides a wonderful shaded “outdoor living room” – an idyllic place to relax and read a book or enjoy a glass of wine, or a cocktail or two. Just sink into the rattan sofas and chairs, take in the spectacular sea views and listen out for the melodic tune of the lighthouse siren!

Back through the garden, into the little lane heading towards the sea, the charming pool of Villa Sirena sits in yet another garden, sheltered on one side by the remains of a Roman ruin, and on others by hedges. This corner of Villa Sirena is a dream. Spending time here as a family is ideal and has been a favourite of Long Travel customers for the total tranquillity and a luxuriously unique family holiday.

Gracious comfort is the order of the day at agritourist country Villa Sirena and the owner has plumped for stylish white soft furnishings, tasteful decorative pieces and wrought iron beds to set against the colourful Vietri tiles, the beamed ceilings and the wooden floors. Villa Sirena’s décor gives a little nod to the countryside feel of its surrounding Punta Licosa in South Campania. It is very special indeed.
