Campania
Heritage & Landscape
South of the Amalfi Coast
Campania is better known for its coast than for the park behind it.
The Cilento, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape that unfolds south of the Amalfi Coast, opens onto ancient trails, medieval hill villages and a turquoise-edged coastline that remains, remarkably, off the beaten tourist path.
Our house here is high in those hills: a fourteenth-century Franciscan convent founded in 1320, built just beyond the walls of Cuccaro Vetere and brought quietly back to life. Seven suites and rooms gather around a cloister courtyard, the kitchen cooks from the convent's own garden, and a stone swimming pool is set against the open valley. It is adults-only, and closed through the winter.
