Ogliastro Cilento
You're already here
Our village, among the olive trees: stone lanes, arches, small squares and a view that stretches down to the sea. It's quiet and authentic, and in summer it comes alive with local festivals.

Experiences
The villages of the Cilento
The Cilento is a land of small towns: stone villages perched on the hills, castles, old churches and little squares where time moves more slowly. Many are just minutes apart and can be combined in a single day.
Ca' del Borgo is in one of them, Ogliastro Cilento. Here are the ones we recommend, from the closest to full day trips. Times are by car, from Ogliastro.

Villages less than half an hour away
Agropoli
10 min
The old town on the headland, with its grand stairway, the town gate and the Angevin-Aragonese Castle overlooking the bay. The perfect place for a sunset stroll.

25 min
Listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy: the 12th-century castle, the basilica of Santa Maria de Gulia and the San Costabile viewpoint, with the whole coast at your feet. It's the village from the Italian film "Benvenuti al Sud".

About 20 min
A small hill village crowned by a restored medieval castle, with views from the Alento valley to the sea. A handful of houses, plenty of silence and a surprising panorama.
Trentinara
About 30 min
Known as "the terrace of the Cilento": from the village you can see the whole plain of Paestum down to the Gulf of Salerno. Best reached in the late afternoon, for the sunset.
A day out
Day trips worth the drive
Pioppi and Acciaroli
About 45 min
Two seaside villages side by side. Pioppi is the home of the Mediterranean diet, studied here by the American nutritionist Ancel Keys; Acciaroli has its fishing harbour and a spectacular sea.
Roscigno Vecchia
About 1 hr 15 min
A village abandoned in the early 1900s and left just as it was: the square with its fountain, the church, the stone houses. A place frozen in time, in the heart of the Alburni mountains.
Certosa di Padula
About 1 hr 15 min
One of the largest charterhouses in Europe and a UNESCO site: the great cloister, the library, the spiral staircase. Combine it with a stop in the Vallo di Diano.
Francesco's tip
Three days in the Cilento
If you're staying a few days, Francesco recommends three stops: the temples of Paestum, the village of Castellabate with its sea, and Acciaroli. The evening before you arrive he sends you the places to visit and his favourite restaurants on WhatsApp.
