Beautiful 7 bedroom villa located in a nature reserve by the sea

Beautiful villa located in a nature reserve by the sea, an exceptional place, with stunning sea views, close to the beach, private pool and 4 to 7 rooms

Homer’s story of the Odyssey recounts Ulysses’ escape from the lure of the sirens just off the coast of Campania. According to tradition, the three sirens, Leucosia, Ligeia and Parthenope, were so distraught about their failure to conquer the hero that they allowed themselves to drown in the sea. It is said that Punta Licosa was named after Leucosia for this very reason. The villa has its own private pebbled access to the beach with a platform for sunbathing. Nearby, around 150 metres away, is a marina for mooring boats and, opposite the beach, a private island with the lighthouse.

Location

Villa Colomba is located inside a protected nature reserve, to the South of Paestum, in a location which offers the chance to truly experience the allure of ancient Mediterranean culture and the traces left by the same, which offer a constant reminder of its ancient splendour. In the past, this stretch of coast was a crossroads of ancient civilisations, from the Lucani to the ancient Greeks, to the Romans.
The villa is located right on the coast, in the shade of a pinewood lapped by the sea, inside a private protected nature reserve.

The nature reserve is located along the stretch of coastline that runs from Ogliastro Marina to Punta Licosa, and is characterised by uncontaminated nature, crystal clear waters and a lighthouse (or “faro” in Italian) which gives the villa its name.

The Cilento Nature Park, where Punta Licosa is located, features seaside landscapes as well as splendid medieval villages that have managed to preserve their ancient traditions, uncontaminated countryside, the majestic Greek Temples of Paestum and many excellent local food and wine products.
This is an area where nature offers its very best.
