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. 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.
Calvanico is home to this villa. Museo Diocesano di Salerno and Provincial Archaeological Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Salerno Maritime Terminal and Masuccio Salernitano Marina. Travelling with kids? Consider Minerva Garden, or check out an event or a game at Sporting La Sequoia. Sailing and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours and hunting nearby. Visit our Calvanico travel guide

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
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.
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The kitchen is the first room, followed by the two bedrooms side by side. This unusual layout affects privacy, making the property more suitable for a family than friends traveling together. In the morning, we had to wait for one couple to wake up before accessing the kitchen, and in the evening, we had to wait for them to go to bed, otherwise they would have to walk through our bedroom to reach theirs. It’s a very strange setup for maintaining privacy.
Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine. L'arrivée a été très facile. La maison est très agréable, spacieuse, bien équipée et propre. Le jardin est un vrai plus.La maison est idéalement située, à la fois au calme mais au centre d'un village plein de vie.La communication avec notre hôtel a toujours été très facile. Il s'est montré réactif et disponible bien.qu'il soit zen vacances.Ce fut notre seul regret, ne pas avoir eu l'occasion de faire sa connaissance. Mais ce n'est que partie remise. Nous reviendrons certainement avec grand plaisir
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.
Siamo stati molto bene, casa in posizione tranquilla con giardino bellissimo. Ideale per famiglie. Proprietario disponibile ad ogni richiesta, puntuale e gentilissimo
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!
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.

schönes Ferienhaus/great vacation home
Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und hat eine tolle Ausstattung - es fehlt an nichts. Der Ofen heizt wunderbar! Alles ist sehr sauber und angenehm. Das Haus verfügt über ein Privatgrundstück, auf dem man Kinder unbedenklich rumlaufen lassen kann. Die Bar direkt oberhalb des Hauses verkauft leckere traditionelle paste di castagna und der Besitzer ist immer für einen guten Schwatz zu haben. Im "Il Rifugio" im Nachbarort kann man sehr gut und unglaublich günstig essen. Michele ist ein netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Wir können die Unterkunft wärmstens weiterempfehlen.
The house is spacious and very well equipped. The furnace heats up nicely. Everything is comfortable and very clean. The house has its own private property where you can allow your children to run around freely without worrying about traffic. The bar directly up the street sells very tasty traditional paste di castagna and the owner is always up for a nice chat. The food at "Il Rifugio" in the neighboring village is very good and incredibly inexpensive. Michele is a friendly and accommodationg host. We can warmly recommend this place.

Magnifique villa
Nous rentrons enchantés de notre séjour à Calvanico. La villa Lilas est une magnifique demeure du 17èmè siècle agréablement restaurée avec goût par son propriétaire et très bien située à égale distance entre les sites à visiter. le propriétaire est une personne très dévouée et à l'écoute de ses hôtes. IL ne compte pas son temps pour satisfaire les vacanciers et les aider en toutes circonstances. Merci Michel pour ton dévouement et tes précieux conseils. Micheline

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 !!!!

Un séjour inoubliable
Superbe séjour. La villa possède tout le confort, très propre et spacieuse, sous les noisetiers et est situé à proximité de Salerne, Naples, Pompéi, le Vésuve, Herculanum, Paestum, Capri, etc... Nous nous sommes régalés avec les tomates et le basilic du potager, que le propriétaire nous laissait à disposition. Un accueil très chaleureux, et en Français, et Monsieur DI FALCO est toujours disponible et de bons conseils. Calvanico est un petit village très vivant et très typique de l'Iatlie du sud. Bref que de bons souvenirs!

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!

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!

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.
