Flowing Linen

Perched above the glistening waters of the Gulf of Policastro, this apartment has way more to offer than a sublime location. The building's swimming pool with views of the Mediterranean landscape is a major perk, as is the surrounding terrace and open-air bar.

Although it's easy to imagine passing many a pleasant hour in this charming outdoor space, you're sure to find plenty to like about the apartment when you finally retreat inside. The white walls, furnishings and finishes make for a space that's instantly bright and inviting, but there are a few eclectic decorations on this blank canvas, such as the handwritten phrases daubed throughout the home. Although the lounge and dining room complete with ghost chairs are lovely spots in which to relax, guests are also blessed with a private terrace with seating and a gorgeous sea vista, too.

Being this close to the coast, you'll probably want to know how far away the beach is – the good news is there's a sandy spot all of 150m away. There are restaurants and shops in the local town of Villammare about 1.5km away, as well as a wider choice in the larger town of Sapri, 3km or so down the coastline.
