About this property

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.

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.

Quiet oasis in the middle of a small village
We enjoyed our stay in this apartment with garden in the middle of a small village. The apt has its own entrance, is fully equipped and very cozy. The property is fenced in with safe parking on the property. With a car, you can easily take trips to the Vesuv, Salerno, Amalfi coast, Pompeii, ... We can recommend the place without hesitation

Le calme à l'état pur
Cette villa est parfaite et très bien située. On est loin de la grande ville mais près de toutes les villes et sites à visiter. Je la recommande les yeux fermés. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et disponibles.
