Campania, Salerno, Castellabate, Italy

Charming historic building dating back to the early 1800s, once a prestigious period residence, located in the heart of the historic center of a characteristic, one-of-a-kind medieval village, Castellabate, in the province of Salerno.
A renowned town, nestled in a pristine natural setting, nestled among verdant hills offering a unique view of the coast and the marvelous Salerno sea, between the Cilento National Park and the Vallo del Diano.
The property, of considerable volume, measures approximately 240 sq m.
The three-story property is in reasonable condition but requires renovation, some of which has already been begun by the owners but is unfinished. The ground floor is accessed through a large vaulted hallway (once used as an animal shelter) that leads to the internal courtyard, which allows natural light to flood in and illuminate the entire space.
Also on the ground floor is a large room and an elongated room, which is very spacious and ideal for use as a kitchen, storage room, or utility room.
A wide staircase leads to the first floor, where there are four additional rooms, two of which feature characteristic star-vaulted ceilings. Each room has recently been remodeled to include a private bathroom with a window. Each also features a charming fireplace and a small private courtyard.
Continuing up the stairs, you reach a large panoramic terrace with a spectacular 360-degree view, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama overlooking both the Salerno coast, the sea below, and the hills.
The property is completed by a charming old chapel, now deconsecrated, accessed through a door next to the house.
An excellent investment, despite requiring partial renovation, it offers a unique opportunity to create the home of your dreams, or, given its generous size and location, a fantastic hospitality business. Very close to the Belvedere di San Costabile, the village's panoramic terrace, it is nestled in a maze of narrow streets and alleys, with steep stairways, some of which are covered in vegetation. It is just a short walk from the Basilica of Santa Maria de Gulia and the Castello dell'Abate.
About 3 km from the beaches, where Borgo San Marco has been awarded the Blue Flag and four sails for the clarity of its waters, the fine white beach of Pozzillo, the Marina Piccola beach, the Spiaggia della Grotta which was built in a natural cave, the protected area of Punta Licosa with its namesake islet of Punta Licosa opposite, etc.
