Villa Virginia is situated in an elevated position on a pine-tree covered hill overlooking the bay of Santa Maria di Castellabate. The two-story building is surrounded by private fenced grounds of 1000 square meters (10000 square feet).
Both stories have large terraces, kissed by the sun from the moment it rises in the morning to when it sets on the sea. Upon your arrival you will immediately have in front of you the blue of the sea and of the sky, the bright green of the pine trees and a wide panorama of sea and hills on which your eyes will gently roam: you will be happy to live amidst so much beauty for the length of your vacation, and you will cherish this feeling for a long time when you are back home.
The garden and the terraces of the villa have a limitless view of the Gulf of Salerno, from the cape of Punta Licosa nearby to the horizon on the far side, with the unmistakable profile of the island of Capri and of the Amalfi Coast.
On the sides and below the villa you will be able to see the slopes of the short hill that gently descend as a natural amphitheatre towards the sea. The hill is verdant with ordered vineyards and olive groves that interrupt woods of pine trees. Ancient stone houses and villas are scattered around the vegetation. At the highest point of the hill, sheer above the sea, stands the medieval castle of Castellabate.
You will reach Villa Virginia driving along a uphill alley for approximately 800 meters (half a mile) from the center of the village. The alley climbs up the slopes of a hill covered by Aleppo pine, a kind of pine tree that grows close to the sea, and a protected species of the Cilento National Park. The alley is only used by the residents of a few vacation villas partly hidden among the pine trees, and it ends a few meters past Villa Virginia.
At Villa Virginia you will find at your disposal a swimming pool set in the middle of a white terrace that stretches in front of the living room towards the blue of the sea and of the sky. The terrace is decorated with a white balustrade and pots blooming with red geraniums. The pool gets sunlight from the morning to when the sun sets on the sea. In the summer time you will enjoy swimming in the evening and by night. The swimming pool and the surrounding area can be lit in a discreet and evocative way with lights set into the flooring, which will allow you to admire the starry sky and the reflection of the moon in the sea. And when you are done swimming you can jump under a good hot outdoor shower, before wrapping yourself in a robe!
At Villa Virginia you will have maid service, end-of-week change of linens and towels and mid-week change of towels. A cook is available upon request.
The villa is equipped with washing machine and clothes dryer for your own independent use. Laundry service is available upon request.

We returned to Villa Virginia and have to say that it has held up very well through the years. It has been impeccably maintained, is comfortable and offers everything a group or family needs to have a great stay. The views are stunning (we always make sure we are home for sunset!) and having the pool right outside the door is convenient (no levels of terraces and steps to navigate, just out and plunge!).
There is plenty of outdoor space that includes terraces around the pool and upstairs off the two front bedrooms (the best views are from those rooms!). There is a nice gazebo with arbor for shady space (just use some mosquito spray or one of the citronella spirals you light). Everything is still in great shape and the caretaker was kind and attentive.
I use Summer In Italy regularly and as always, the descriptions matched perfectly, the service was available and Luca answered all our questions, made sure we were happy, and when I left two items behind, he contacted the caretaker to locate them and send them to me. That's service! :)

This was our second stay in Villa Virginia, twelve years after the first one. Not much has changed, except maybe some electrical improvements. It is still the wonderful place we remembered, and I am very glad that we chose it for our family and friends. Santa Maria di Castellabate is wonderful, the villa is incredibly comfortable, and the views are amazing.
I want to thank Carmela [the caretaker] especially, for taking great care of the villa and of all of us, and for cooking absolutely delicious meals when requested ahead.
I hope we won't wait as long to come back again. It was a magical experience.
Communication with Summer In Italy was always easy, and their responses were prompt and informative. They took care of all our requests with a great customer service spirit. Having rented more than one property from them, I am confident of their quality, and I would not hesitate to rent from them again.

It was an absolutely beautiful villa and worked so well with our party of 13.
The maid coming in every day was fantastic, she was outstanding!
Really helpful and would certainly use Summer in Italy again.

This is the nicest villa we have rented as three families for some years. Group ranged from 17 to 54 years. Lots of space and bathrooms for everyone, immaculately clean and kept so by Elvira [the caretaker] all week. She was lovely and so helpful as well as keeping everything clean and tidy.
The view is spectacular and the villa is a 13 min walk to the supermarket, 20 min or so into town. It is a steep walk back up the hill so not for the unfit (you cannot get that view without it) but we walked into town for dinner several nights and found the walk back did us good. We did get Marco to take us out and pick us up one evening as well.
The food in the area is superb and everyone is very friendly and helpful. It is such a pretty place with a friendly family buzzy vibe to it, lots of super shops and great choice of places to eat. We loved it and would like to come back and do more exploring. Thoroughly recommend this villa as a place to stay.
Nothing to improve - great service and good contact from Summer In Italy. Thank you.

Villa Virginia is amazing and wonderful! We were a group of 12 that enjoyed every minute of our stay there. The view is spectacular, the rooms spacious and very comfortable, the pool divine! Villa Virginia is a little piece of heaven in a magical Italian location.
I just booked my third villa with Summer In Italy! I cannot say enough about how great you are: the support, recommendations, communication, patience... I've recommended you to many friends! Santa Maria di Castellabate is a major discovery... I just worry it will be "discovered" by too many people!! I cannot praise and thank you enough for the gift you've given my family of magical trips to our beloved Italy!

On initial arrival at Villa Virginia the property most definitely will not disappoint, particularly the patio and pool area, and the stunning panoramic view.
The villa itself is secluded, relatively modern, large, and well-appointed with a nicely planted/landscaped garden. The generous ‘exterior living’ space has plenty of furniture for sunbathing and outdoor dining, including a built-in pizza oven and barbecue, and most importantly a reasonably sized private pool which is relatively shallow - ideal for children. There is also an outdoor shower (hot/cold water) and a toilet/washroom.
The indoor living and dining area is comfortable and spacious, as is the kitchen which has its own central table and chairs – a convivial setup. All bedrooms are reasonably sized, with two larger master bedrooms, and have comfortable beds. Every bedroom has an ensuite toilet/shower facility (one bedroom also includes a bath).
Air-conditioning is present in all rooms and was a welcome reprieve from the summer heat, particularly overnight in the bedrooms. WiFi is included and this reaches all parts of the villa and most of the patio and gives reasonable speed/reliability.
The entire property was clean and tidy on arrival and was kept that way throughout our stay (thanks to Elvira: see below).
The entrance from the road is through a secure electrically operated gate and leads to a shaded parking space for two cars with additional parking available on the opposite side of the road. The road runs, effectively, behind the property but is little used and unobtrusive. In fact, noise generally is not an issue as the surroundings are very peaceful with just the occasional cow bell or distant tractor disturbing the sense of tranquility.
Elvira, the lady who attends the villa daily (except Sundays) at around lunchtime to clean, tidy the outside space and tend to the pool, is marvelous. She is very diligent, very discreet, and yet enthusiastically helpful when her help is asked for. The cleanliness and tidiness of this expansive property is a credit to her hard work. While Elvira does not speak English (our limited Italian is very rusty so now extremely limited), she is a dab hand at using Google Translate on her phone and we communicated using this medium quite successfully.
Other guests have reported that you can walk to the nearest supermarket (Conad – small but well stocked and reasonably priced) and/or restaurant, but we struggled with the hill in the summer heat -

Villa Virginia is a very nice and comfortable villa. The view of the Tyrrhenian Sea is fantastic and the sunset is a daily spectacle. The house has all the necessary infrastructure for the guest to feel at home.
I would like to complement my assessment of Elvira's service, very friendly and attentive, she always left the house clean and tidy.
We didn't know the company Summer In Italy, but we were delighted with the professionalism, everything worked out.

We were a group of 11 from Finland and France spending ten days at Villa Virginia and really enjoyed it.
The views over Santa Maria di Castellabate to the Tyrrhenian Sea with Amalfi Coast in the horizon are marvellous. The house is spacious, comfortable and well air-conditioned. The large pool had just the right temperature and has a great combo of depths. Our favorite was the outdoors wood-burning pizza oven, which made the dinners at the terrace really special.
We can warmly recommend Villa Virginia to anyone looking for a private, comfortable and spacious villa. The coast of Cilento works especially well for those who prefer to venture a bit further from the tourist areas - it was really mostly locals and other Italians in the area which we quite enjoyed. You also get much more for your money compared to, e. g., Sorrento/Amalfi - but can still easily take the boat trip from San Marco di Castellabate to Amalfi or Capri if you want to explore that area.
This is a great villa with great service. The housekeeper was really friendly and helpful.
You have great service. Summer in Italy are really responsive and have a really good selection of properties. We will for sure book with you again.

The villa is very spacious, outstanding view, and great facilities both indoor and outdoor. The location is very quiet just outside the town center.

Villa Virginia is a spacious nicely furnished house with a fantastic view and a big sunset terrace
Villa Virginia is a spacious nicely furnished house with a fantastic view and a big sunset terrace. We enjoyed staying a week in the villa with its good amenities (fully equipped kitchen, outdoor furniture, library, table tennis table, swimming pool...).
For us it was a perfect place to relax and its good geographic situation makes it easy to go for short excursions to the beach, picturesque Castellabate and also to do the shopping. The only tough thing we went through was the steep access road as we came by bike.
We had a very good experience.

To start, the communication with the villa and the check
To start, the communication with the villa and the check-in process was very easy. We had a lot of questions and they promptly answered them. We loved that every room had a bathroom and the living and dining room was very comfortable to eat and hang out in, which is not something you typically find in Italian homes. The view was gorgeous!
We came in the winter so we didn't use the pool but we would love to come back in the summer!
It's a great location to explore the beautiful area and then end your day with a gorgeous sunset and pool time!
Everything was great!
Summer In Italy made the booking and check-in process very easy. Their communication was excellent and gave us peace of mind for our trip. I knew they would respond promptly if I had any questions! Thank you for the wonderful stay and attention to detail!

The pool, the table
The pool, the table-tennis table, the BBQ, the pizza oven were all excellent and suites our group of 7 and 5 children perfectly. We liked the gates and perimeter that gave us peace of mind that the children were safe and couldn't wander off without our knowledge.
We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and couldn't have wished for anymore.
It was truly brilliant.
The ability to cancel close to arrival date was great, meant that we could book in the middle of the pandemic and not worry about losing all of our money.

Our extended family of 13 recently spent a glorious week at Villa Virginia
Our extended family of 13 recently spent a glorious week at Villa Virginia. I had heard about Villa Virginia from a friend whose extended family had stayed there for two weeks, so I had high expectations. And Villa Virginia did not disappoint – it was everything we had imagined and more. It was spacious, very clean, and the perfect place for a large group. At no time did we feel cramped as there were so many different areas in and around the villa to spread out. The rooms were all comfortable and surprising soundproof. The kitchen was well stocked and the tables both inside and out easily sat 14. We enjoyed the ambiance of the villa so much we ended up having dinner there all but one night. And having our own private swimming pool was such a treat. The pool and surrounding grounds were cleaned every morning by the property manager, who also disposed of the garbage and cleaned the bathrooms each day. The property was kept in impeccable condition. We already plan to return, but next time for 2 weeks. Villa Virginia is truly a magical place and even better than the pictures on the web site.
There is a grocery store, a produce market and a fish market right at the bottom of the hill so finding something to cook was incredibly easy. We were amazed at how inexpensive everything was. Wonderful local wine was only 3-4 euro a bottle and cured meats and regional cheeses cost about one-quarter of the price they would have cost in the states. We never ate so well or so cheap and in such beautiful surroundings.
We heard about Summer In Italy through the friend who recommended Villa Virginia. I found they very easy to work with and would definitely use them again. They were very good at communicating and booking was a breeze.

Villa Virginia will always be a magical place for us
Villa Virginia will always be a magical place for us.
It is the ONLY spot, in not only Italy but entire Europe, that we have traveled over the years that we considered returning to for a second visit. Ten years ago we enjoyed it so much, that everyone (10 folks) returned. We were concerned about returning to any place of our travels for would it be the same?, different?, not as nice? Well, Villa Virginia proved to us 'You can return and rediscover that special "dolce vita" feeling'. Its location is unique, off the beaten path of the typical tourist destinations in Italy, but it is well worth the extra effort to get there.
We used the service 10 years ago and everyone appreciated the same high level of service this time as well.

Absolutely fantastic stay
Absolutely fantastic stay! Villa Virginia is probably the best holiday villa we have ever stayed at. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to relax by the pool and enjoy a stunning views from the terrace. Perfect place for multi-family holidays – we were a group of 4 families travelling with kids aged 0-8 and we had a superb holiday, which is not always easy when travelling in such a large group. A must visit place to which we will be definitely coming back!
Thanks to Margot who is a fantastic host you can feel almost at home with her being very helpful and well organised.
Summer In Italy was a great choice, very prompt and precise answers. Extremely helpful.

The villa is in an ideal location and very well maintained. It is more beautiful than in the pictures! Villa Virginia is well equipped, both inside and out. We were three families and we spent a dream week!
The villa is perfect, nothing missed. We have had a wonderful stay, thanks a lot! Elvira [the caretaker] took good care of us, she is so nice and always ready to give us suggestions for places to visit and restaurants.
Compliments to Summer In Italy. Professional and qualified, they replied to any questions I had within a few hours.

Amazing location, the pool area is perfect, views incredible
Amazing location, the pool area is perfect, views incredible. We spent 8 days here with 4 children from 5 - 10 years old and it was perfect for them. Plenty of loungers to sit on whilst the children played.
The lounge is a great size too, a great place for a break from the sun for a little while.
The area is great too, not far to Paestum, Vesuvius, Pompeii. Also the beaches at Santa Maria are brilliant.

We are a family of 5 adults and we spent a marvelous week in the Villa Virginia.
The beds were very comfortable and large (probably king size) and it was very convenient that each bedroom had its own bath. We only cooked 1 meal at home and found the kitchen had everything we needed. Although it was too chilly for a swim, the pool was crystal clean and we enjoyed sitting around it each night while taking in the beautiful view.
The property is immaculately maintained by the wonderful Miss Margot [the caretaker].
This is the second rental we have done with Summer In Italy and both were perfect stays. The staff at Summer In Italy were wonderful to work with and promptly answered all my questions and there were many.

It was a really grand holiday spot for enjoying the great Cilento region, so special that we plan to come back there.
The outdoor dinning area was fantastic, we enjoyed eating together under the stars. Dinner had no timetable as most did enjoy early evening swims and relax once we came back from our excursions and then cooked together using the outdoor charcoal grill. This is a paradise spot for family members to reconnect and enjoy the time spent together cooking, eating and toasting with wine glasses.
Everyone of the family did not want to leave Villa Virginia and with nine people it was great that almost everyone had their own rooms with en-suite bathrooms. The views at night, after the sunset, was magnificent.
Highly recommend Villa Virginia.
Summer In Italy offers a great service with quality places to rent, everything was great and will recommend them to others who want to enjoy the Italian life.

Beautiful villa
Beautiful villa. Fully equipped. Stunning views. Margot [the caretaker] was delightful, very friendly and efficient.
Pool was big enough for everyone. Lovely outside sitting and eating areas. We went for my son's wedding and were not disappointed with our accommodation.
All the staff at Summer in Italy were extremely helpful, answering all my questions... even finding me the most amazing hairdresser, Angela who did a fantastic job of my hair on the day of the wedding.
A very big thank you for everything.

We travelled with a party of friends and family all of whom are frequent travellers and the universa
We travelled with a party of friends and family all of whom are frequent travellers and the universal opinion was that Villa Virginia was the best villa they had ever stayed in. From the spectacular views to the generous provision of sunbeds and the spacious interior, there is nothing to fault. It's just a great well-appointed villa, well looked after!
I came across Summer In Italy by accident on the web, and was impressed with the quality of layout and information on the web site, so made an enquiry which was immediately answered with this recommendation. Not only was I impressed by the responsiveness of communication, quality of information and value for money, but they were also flexible and able to offer additional services. I will be using them again and recommending them to everybody I know.

After months of research and planning, I had very high expectations of Villa Virginia
After months of research and planning, I had very high expectations of Villa Virginia. I was not disappointed. In fact, it felt like we were coming home. The villa is a jewel sitting up high on the hill overlooking olive groves, terra cotta roofed villas, the charming town of Santa Maria di Castellabate and the sea.
In fact, the view was almost overwhelming. Our party arrived in five groups on that first day, driving from various parts of Italy. We were met and welcomed by Margot who looks after and loves the Villa as her own. There was such excitement with each arrival, coming into the spacious, sparkling clean home, dumping our groceries in the inviting kitchen, finding our very lovely rooms and then congregating outside on the terrace, gazing at the view and looking at each other saying "Are we really here?!"
Not only was the Villa beautiful, it has a wonderful feeling about it. It is bright and airy and just exudes warmth and comfort. The sea breezes blow through the open windows, freshening and cooling the house. We used the air-conditioner only one night in our room, preferring to have the window open. I saw only two mosquitos the entire stay.
We were a party of 12 for the first three days, then 10 plus a baby, who Margot called "Starlina", and there was ample space for all of us. Outside the villa, the pool was a welcomed afternoon retreat. There is a shaded, vine-covered gazebo, a BBQ/pizza oven/food prep area, a ping pong table, the gardens and of course, the charming outside dining area where we ate together almost every night. There is even a toilet and outdoor shower for convenience!
The terrace was scrubbed clean every morning by Margot as was the pool which she kept sparkling. She worked quietly and efficiently and I must say, patiently, as often some of our party were still sleeping in and she would come back later in the day to clean the rooms and bathrooms.
The upper story has two bedrooms that share the huge balcony overlooking the pool. Another room has a small, private balcony. The room we chose opened onto another private terrace with the same, sea view, but was shady and cool during the early day. This terrace wrapped around to the street side of the villa and had a great feature - a clothes line!!!! Although the laundry room is equipped with a washer and dryer, clothes dry on the line in a fraction of the time. I just loved it!
All the rooms and bathrooms were lovely. On the ground floor there are two twin rooms and one "
