3间卧室别墅, 178 m²

切特拉罗, Cosenza (省)

Located on the highest point of the hill, with spectacular sea views this detached villa is in the Comune of Cetraro (CS) locality Capurra approx. 6km (12mins) from the beach and approx. 90 min. (88km) drive north of Lamezia Terme airport.
The villa forms part of a hillside retreat built to individual designs offering the opportunity to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity in affordable luxury.
The Villa of approx. 178sqm, makes use of the location of the original farmhouse and is built on two floors. It is accessed from the side street that leads from the property’s private parking area.
The entrance to the house is through the portico area, built in line with the main facade, which offers an incredible view of the sea and Monte Serra. The large living room features a beamed ceiling with a kitchenette and the stairs that lead to the upper level. On either side of the living area are two bedrooms, both of which have en-suite bathrooms.
On the first floor there is an area of open space and adjoining are two bedrooms again both with en-suite bathrooms and from the patio windows also offering superb view of the area.
The outdoor area in front of the house is paved and the walls made from local stone from where you can enjoy the stunning evening sunsets. Surrounding the villa is a garden area of approx. 1110sqm which when landscaped will add a natural and relaxing ambience.
As far as possible the Villa has been constructed to reflect the natural character of Calabria using wooden beams for the ceiling of the lower level and the structure of the portico. Local stone has been sourced for the garden walls and to cover the pillars of the portico. Ceramic tiled floors throughout the property and marble stairs with wrought iron handrails.
The name Cetraro, among a few theories, it is said comes from the abundant production of lemons (in Latin citrus) that are grown in the surrounding countryside. From ancient origins, Cetraro was probably the first seaside city of Bruzia and in recent years the beach front has developed around its stretch of sandy beaches providing an array of activities, beach bars and lidos throughout the summer months with many festivals, music concerts and theatre spectacles hosted.
The Marina boasts a variety of shops, boutiques, café bars, restaurants, supermarket etc. and an outdoor market each Saturday morning. At the far end of the beach front is a tourist port where small boats can be moored. In contrast, the historic centre is full of narrow streets, arches and beautiful views. Access to the city is via three gates: di Mare, Basso and Sopra, which bear witness to the time when Cetraro was a fortified town.  A few steps from the main square (Piazza del Popolo) is located the Mother Church of San Benedetto Abate. Built before 1104 following the donation of Cetraro and renovated in the Baroque style during the second half of the eighteenth century. This is one of the many historical points of interest to be found in the historical centre.  
Close by are the Thermal Springs at Guardia Piemontese offering curative mineral waters and mud baths for a variety of conditions with the Terme Luigiane providing Spa treatments from May to October. 
There is a 9 hole golf course at the nearby Hotel San Michele and for the more adventurous rafting, paragliding and quad biking can be found at Scalea.
The larger town of Paola is approx. 10 mins drive south of Cetraro and here there is a captivating mix of ancient and modern – from the Sanctuary and birthplace of San Francesco di Paola to the amenities required for modern living eg, shops, bars, restaurants, a long stretch of beach with beach bars and lidos in the summer months and several festivals hosted throughout the year. Cetraro is also conveniently positioned to explore many other traditional villages and the stunning National Park of La Sila is approx. 1 ½ hour drive away, where you can take advantage of the many activities that are on offer, including walking, pony trekking, quad bikes and in the winter months, skiing.
