Vintage villa nestled in the green between the Amalfi Coast and Cilento.

The Villa is named after the beautiful lilac trees which adorn the grounds with their colorful flowers in Spring.
The Villa is an oasis of peace surrounded by greenery, an historical noble residence which dates from the 1700s.
It is situated in the heart of the charming ancient village of Calvanico .

The guest wing of the villa was carefully renovated in 2010 and features a completely independent entrance with private garden and reserved parking for several cars.

The rooms of the villa are all welcoming, bright and comfortable and are centrally heated. The guest wing has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and sleeps 6 – 8 guests.
The guest wing features:

- A large open-plan living/dining room with modern fully equipped kitchen. In the living room there is a sofa bed with top-quality spring mattress (160 x 200), a large table for 10 people, a washing machine, iron and ironing board, well-stocked bookshelves with books for adults and children, games for children, a digital TV

- 2 bathrooms with shower, hand-basin ,toilet and bidet;

- 2 bedrooms with king-size double beds (160 x 200); - One of the second bedrooms has doubled with a comfortable large loft (with high ceilings), AND WE CONSIDER IT A REAL, THIRD BEDROOM, furnished with two twin beds, dresser, desk, wardrobe, and cot (on request);

- Private garden area which is directly accessible from the guest wing.

A brief description of the Guest Wing:
From the private and fenced parking area, you will enter directly into the orchard of this exclusive wing of the villa. The garden features lawns, ornamental trees and fruit trees, a fountain and outdoor shower. From the garden, you have direct access to the entrance of this portion of the villa.

This sunny wing of the villa faces south You can have pleasant walks around the village or go cycling (1 adult bike and 1 child’s bike are available to guests).


The ancient village of Calvanico is located in the heart of the Apennines a few kilometers north from Salerno. It 's handy “base-camp” where you can avoid the hustle and bustle of the city, but where at the same time, you can easily reach the many important tourist sites and the marine archaeological region of Campania, in southern Italy: it takes only 20 minutes to get to the beaches and the port of Salerno, and then go to Amalfi, Positano, Capri, Ischia and Sorrento, 45 minutes to get to Naples, 35 minutes to Pompeii, Herculaneum, Vesuvius for 50 minutes, 60 minutes to go to Paestum and then continue to the Cilento National park area, where you can easily arrange for excursions even one day, returning home in the evening and so be able to visit in a few days all the major tourist sites in the region.
Calvanico is situated on the slopes of the mountains Picentini, about 500 meters above sea level and more precisely at the base of the slopes of Pizzo San Michele. It is full of chestnut trees and walking paths that offer many trails for nature walks , among which the most popular are those that lead to the peaks of Mt Picentini, the old mills, and one that leads to the chapel of Our Lady of Loreto.
In close proximity ( 2 Km) is the natural area "Frassineto" with its trees of various kinds, with paths and trails. It’s easy to move through even for children. The park is also equipped with a picnic area prepared with built-in barbecue and a children's playground. Among the many cultural events on offer, there are craft shows and impromptu painting exhibitions organized by Proloco. There are many recreational events, such as religious holidays and festivals of which the highlights are represented by the Feast of Our Lady of Loreto on 5 August and the Chestnut Festival in Autumn. The patron saint of Calvanico is Saint Michael the Archangel, which is celebrated on 8 May with a picturesque evening stroll along the slopes of Monte San Michele to reach the peak and the shrine dedicated to him.

Staying with locals
My family of 6 stayed for 1 week at this beautiful property. Nestled in a small hilltop village we experienced life with the local Italians. We were just steps away from a cafe and butcher. Relaxing in the garden you can hear life in the streets and children in the school next door. Michel was a great host who made us feel welcome and comfortable. The location was very good for day trips to Naples, Paestum, Salerno, Amalfi Coast and Pompeii.

Great location for day trips
Our stay was wonderful! Michele really cares about your comfort and was a very communicative host. The location was perfect for day trips and it was nice to come back to the quiet village. Il Rifugio restaurant was just perfect and very inexpensive.

Spring time get away
We made the villa our home for 2 months over March and April and it was perfect for our needs. The wood burning stove was great in the colder, rainy beginning of March and as soon as the sun came out and all the trees started blooming, we made full use of the garden and bbq. Our 2 year old really enjoyed running around outside and Michele was kind enough to let him use the toys that were downstairs. Michele was always very prompt to reply to messages and offer help above and beyond of what you normally receive. The amalfi coast is a 30-40min drive away and we visited Cetara often and the beach in Vietri su mare too. The islands of procida and capri are also reachable from naples, which in itself is worth a few days wandering around. The farmers market in salerno was amazing and we visited every Saturday to do our vegetable shop (so fresh and half the price of the supermarket). Calvanico has its charm too and a walk up the steep hill to Capo Calvanico is worth the view (on a clear day you can see Ischia). There are so many places to eat but our 2 local haunts were la vetta, around the corner with great pizza and friendly staff, and Nami in Fisciano (more great pizza, and a really cool bar) I would highly recommend both the villa and the area for your trip!

Excellent accomodation
A beautiful place to stay. Everything you need for a home from home holiday. Lovely private garden. Near to Pompei, Mount Vesuvius, Paestum and some long sandy beaches (all within 30-45 mins) If you like small, quiet villages with a little bar and excellent Pizza Restaurant then this is a place to recommend.

Calvanico Villa
Our family of 6, two parents and 4 adult children, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this villa apartment. It was very clean, the bedrooms were roomy, the view was lovely. The workmanship and furnishings were quality. We enjoy cooking and the small kitchen, which was the only inside common area, was very well equipped. Michael, our host, was organized, easy to reach, available, helpful, and responded quickly to our texts & emails. As this villa is in a mountainous village, we recommend arriving in the daylight as it was not easy to find in the dark! The village is small, but clean and accessible. An ATM machine was across the street and a great pizza restaurant was down the block. A car is definitely needed. Calvanico is a good location for driving to Pompey, Vesuvius, Amalfi Coast and Salerno. Our family enjoyed this villa apartment immensely. Highly recommended.

Sehr schön!
Der Aufenthalt in der Ferienwohnung in Calvanico war sehr schön. Die Wohnung war sehr geräumig und sehr schön eingerichtet, es war alles sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Durch die Möglichkeit, die Läden zu schließen, konnte man es in der Wohnung auch tagsüber bei angenehmen Temperaturen gut aushalten. Der Vermieter war außergewöhnlich freundlich, nett und hilfsbereit! Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen!

Schöner gepflegter Garten
Der Ort Calvanico liegt relativ weit oben in den Bergen. Im Mai war es deshalb teilweise noch etwas kühl. Auch Regenwolken fangen sich gerne in den umliegenden Gipfeln . Als Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung der Amalfiküste und der Orte Neapel und Salerno ist die Wohnung gut geeignet. Der gepflegte Garten ist für Kinder gut zum Spielen geeignet da er vollkommen eingezäunt ist.

Really pleasant house and garden on a strategic location just behind the coast!
We had a very good stay. The house is very complete, well equipped and spacious in a small town in the mountain, with a grocery store and a good butcher. The owner is helpful and kind. We visited Paestum, Pompeï, Herculaneum, Napoli, Amalfi, Salerno and Castellabate all within 1,5 hrs drive.

Une imposture !
En presque 10 ans de locations estivales via Abritel, c'est la première fois que nous tombons sur une pareille imposture à commencer par la photo d'accueil qui représente non la location elle-même mais l'entrée propriétaire. Seule une toute petite partie de la maison avec entrée (bien plus modeste !) par l'arrière est louée et cette location ne dispose pas de 3 chambres mais de 2 avec, dans la seconde, une mezzanine où se trouvent deux lits supplémentaires. Se rajoute une cuisine où le propriétaire a installé un canapé lit et une télévision (avec que des chaines italiennes et donc pas du tout internationales comme prétendu !) donc, au final une cuisine-salon-salle à manger qui est néanmoins le seul endroit où fonctionne la connexion internet ! De plus, ces 3 pièces au total sont en enfilade ce qui veut dire qu'on ne peut passer de la chambre avec mezzanine à la cuisine sans traverser l'autre chambre !!!! Rajoutons que le ménage n'est pas optionnel mais obligatoire car le propriétaire envoie, bien sûr après le délai de résiliation donc quelques jours avant l'arrivée, un contrat prévoyant un versement obligatoire pour le ménage. Une immense déception qui nous a amené à saisir le service client d'Abritel aux fins de correction de l'annonce trompeuse et si nous ne mettons pas une note de zéro, c'est uniquement parce que le grand jardin est la seule chose qui se soit révélée conforme à la description et aux photos même si infesté de moustiques ! En conclusion, une location à éviter absolument !!!!

Belles vacances en Campanie
Nous avons passé de belles vacances en famille avec 3 enfants en bas âge dans la maison de Michele, le propriétaire. Michele a toujours été disponible et très réactif avant et pendant notre séjour. Maison bien équipée et adaptée aux familles. La villa est entourée des jolis jardins qui doivent être très agréables l'été, lieu très reposant. La situation de Calvanico, vous permet de vous retrouver dans un lieu calme mais qui rayonne sur les principaux sites touristiques de la Campanie (à environ 1h max): Paestum, Salerne, côte Amalfitaine, Naples, Vésuve, Pompéi, Herculanum,... à conseiller!

Stupenda struttura
Siamo stati, a Calvanico in questa meravigliosa villa una settimana io con la mia famiglia. Il posto è proprio come lo si vede nelle foto, anzi meglio. Le stanze ben arredate, il giardino rilassante con piante di nocciola e di prugne ottime da gustare. Tutto pulito e cucina ben fornita di pentole, piatti e di tutto ciò che necessita. La posizione è ottimale per escursioni sia sulla costiera amalfitana che nei parchi archeologici di Paestum, Pompei ed Ercolano. A solo 17 km da Salerno. Il proprietario gentilissimo e sempre disponibile ad ogni nostra richiesta è stato discreto, simpatico ed utile nel darci indicazioni su cosa vedere, su dove andare a mangiare. Posto che consiglio per famiglie con bimbi e per tutti quelli che vogliono un pò di pace e tranquillità
