About this property
The Three Barnyards - The Gecko. A cozy and elegant retreat in pure nature
In the heart of the Cilento National Park, nestled in a landscape of rare beauty, stand these exclusive country homes, where traditional charm meets modern comfort. The property is surrounded by greenery, in a small valley 1.5 km from the town of San Giovanni a Piro (SA), in the heart of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano Park. It is a quiet and secluded location, ideal for those seeking relaxation and tranquility. The complex is equidistant from the beaches of Scario and its stunning coastline with crystal-clear waters, and from the beaches of Marina di Camerota (about 15 minutes by car). The property offers a unique experience of immersion in nature, silence, and peace, with a panorama entirely dominated by meadows, centuries-old olive trees, cypress trees, and forests of holm oaks, chestnut trees, walnut trees, and hazelnut trees. Ideal for those who love the sea (with the equipped beaches of Marina di Camerota or Scario or alternatively the "spartan and charming" beaches of the coast reachable, in the summer, by boats that depart from the port of Scario) and nature, with numerous paths and trekking trails on the cliffs sloping down to the sea, on Mount Bulgheria, in the fascinating Mediterranean scrub of Cilento and in the holm oak forests. San Giovanni a Piro, a small medieval village nestled between the sea and the hills, is a gem of Cilento, perfect for discovering local traditions and flavors and immersing yourself in the beauty of this region, the slow, peaceful pace of local culture. Four ancient farmhouses, finely restored, have created six elegant residential units that retain the authentic charm of local architectural tradition, enhanced by fine furnishings and exclusive amenities. The charming local stone walls and the extensive use of chestnut, a characteristic local tree, are striking, featuring beamed ceilings, doors, bathrooms, kitchens, and more. Each unit features a fully equipped kitchen, a delightful blend of modern and antique (Vietri ceramic countertops, induction hob, oven, dishwasher, kettle, coffee maker, toaster, utensils, and more). Outside, there is parking with charging stations for electric vehicles, a hot and cold shower, and a washing machine.
All units, surrounded by gardens with lawns and tall trees, feature porches that allow for outdoor use for sunbathing, dining, and relaxing surrounded by nature. They are therefore independent, with no shared spaces. The porches are equipped with outdoor tables and chairs.
A unique experience awaits you: let yourself be captivated by the magic of this place and enjoy an unforgettable stay!
