Scuola Vecchia

type de bâtiment: Immeuble d'habitation. surface du terrain: 6000m². année de construction: 1950. Propriétaire habite sur le terrain.

This holiday flat is located together with a larger holiday flat in a detached stone house and offers a good 40 m² of living space for up to three people. There are two other buildings on the 6000 square metre property that are available for rent.

On the edge of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park in the Campania region, province of Salerno, the property is surrounded by a green mountain landscape with traditional agriculture and livestock farming, overlooking the Golfo di Policastro on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The two lovingly restored stone houses are located at 670 metres above sea level in the municipality of Tortorella, on the border with Basilicata.

The terrain with meadow, vegetable garden and holm oak forest is terraced with stone walls; each accommodation unit has its own access and terraces with panoramic views over the mountains and valleys of the Golfo di Policastro and the sea on the horizon.

Each holiday flat has central heating by gas, wood-burning stove or fireplace; hot water is generated by solar energy in summer.

Each of the two houses has an outbuilding with washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing board for free use. Logs for fires and barbecues are provided. Bed linen and towels are provided. We are happy to cater for individual requests.

There are furnished terraces in front of and behind the flat and a narrow, green strip with herbs and flowers below the flat.

You enter a 25 m² eat-in kitchen with a cooking island, handmade stone sink and wood-burning stove via a cotto-tiled terrace. There is a sofa with a real mattress (120 cm wide) and a dining table with chairs in the eat-in kitchen. Internet (WLAN) is also available. A dressing room on the left leads to a bathroom with shower, washbasin, toilet and bidet. To the right is a small bedroom with a double bed (160 cm x 200 cm) and access to a small terrace in the holm oak forest. The stove is in a central position so that the doorless bedroom also benefits from it.

Excursion options: For culturally interested travellers, we recommend excursions to the Certosa di Padula, the largest Carthusian monastery in southern Italy, and to the early Christian baptistery of San Giovanni in Fonte, to Teggiano, an old bishop's seat with many churches and a diocesan museum, to Roccagloriosa, a Lucanian foundation (around 450 BC.) with a small excavation site and 2 small museums (bronze vessels and gold jewellery), to Velia, a Greek colony with traces of Greek, Roman and medieval settlement history, to the Greek city of Paestum (with three well-preserved temples, city walls and museum), to the Grotta del Romito in Calabria (Stone Age carvings and graves).

When visibility is good, you can see the Stromboli volcano on the horizon from the terrace. Especially in autumn and spring you can watch wonderful sunsets, and on clear nights a magnificent starry sky. At the height of summer, the altitude and the neighbouring holm oak forest offer a pleasant coolness and a welcome change from life on the beach. The neighbours still run a small farm with cows, sheep, chickens and vegetable production, while others still live as shepherds almost as they did 100 years ago and produce sheep's cheese, goat's ricotta and lamb.

The charming village of Tortorella with its spectacular views, grocery shop, bar and post office is around 6 km away, while the coast and the small town of Sapri with its IC railway station are around 25 minutes away by car. Tortorella is perched at just under 600 metres above sea level on a hilltop that slopes down to the Tyrrhenian Sea over olive groves and woodland and is bordered to the west by the deep Bussentino gorge. From various vantage points, the view extends from the sea over the coastal mountains of Calabria, our "local mountain" Monte Cocuzzo, Monte Cervati (1899 m), Monte Gelbison to M. Bulgheria. The dreamy village has largely retained its original appearance: Natural stone houses with decorative portals nestle against the rocky ground, gardens open up into narrow alleyways. Around 300 inhabitants meet to play cards in Tiziana's bar or to collect their pensions at the post office, at the weekly market on Wednesdays and in the church square on Sundays.
the church square on Sundays. The municipal area covers altitudes between 50 and 1480 metres with different vegetation zones that still provide pasture for shepherds at any time of year. A spur road not shown on official maps, the so-called Tortorella - Mare, connects the village with the coast in 15 minutes by car. In the centre of the gulf near Villammare, you will find typical Italian beach life with sun loungers for hire and bars in high summer, while the cliffs near Acquafredda in the south and Scario in the north are lined with small bays with crystal-clear water, some of which can only be reached on foot or by boat.

The landlady lives on site and is happy to help with information, especially about hikes.
Bettina is an experienced hiking guide and also offers tours on request.

Vegetables and herbs growing in the garden can be used in the kitchen!
