It is perfect for a large family retreat, celebration or group of friends. Being only 11km from Sorrento, Villa Celentano is great for sight-seeing, but it is off the beaten track, therefore, avoiding the tourist chaos.

Villa Celentano is situated in a village called Ticciano, which is nestled in the hills of Sorrento Peninsula, near the town of Vico Equense. Villa Celentano offers all guests the opportunity to do excursions, nature walks, boat trips, guided tours and is only a 20 minute trip to the beach. The villa can also provide a guided tour of the surrounding mountains, Mount Faito, (Path of the Gods) and arrange a BBQ. Spend relaxing moments in the middle of nature and also live the 'real life' like people from the Sorrento peninsula, outside the usual tourist haunts. For lovers of gourmet, there are local restaurants and wine bars nearby, which offer typical regional and national produce.

Ticciano is connected by a road which leads to Sorrento and Vico Equense. It is also an ideal starting point for excursions to the famous Positano and the Amalfi Coast, Capri and the fascinating ruins of Pompeii.

The villa is situated approximately 30 metres from the nearest shops, including an infamous butcher with delicious meat. The bus stop (Circumvesuviana, the local bus) is just opposite the villa and will take you to the local beach (Vico Equense) in approximately 20 minutes and the train station. From the train station, you can take the train to Sorrento or Pompeii in approximately 20 minutes. There are pizzerias and restaurants within a 10-minute drive from the property (which also offer a pizza delivery service). We can organise a food hamper for your arrival and home delivery of pizza on request.

The villa has six air-conditioned/heated double bedrooms, five of which are en-suite. There are four bedrooms on the ground floor which are all ensuite and all have double beds which cannot be separated. One of the bedrooms can be accessed via the lounge or externally via the terrace. Two bedrooms can be accessed externally from the courtyard or internally and the fourth bedroom can be accessed via the terrace or internally.  

On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms both with double beds which cannot be separated. These two bedrooms share a bathroom.

Additional, foldable single beds can be added to four of the larger bedrooms on request. 

There is also a large open plan, fully equipped kitchen and dining room with two sofas and access to the terrace/balcony. Next to the kitchen, there is a utility and a bathroom. Up to 14 people can be seated therefore it is perfect for a large family gathering or special occasion. Here there is also a flat-screen TV. Both from the balconies and from the courtyard, you have direct access to the solarium and pool area. The BBQ is situated by the pool.

The owners live next door but have a separate entrance and you can enjoy the use of a wood-burning oven, on the rooftop of their property, free of charge but on request.

Just 10 minutes’ walk from Villa Celentano, you will find Laqua Countryside, a 2-star Michelin restaurant. Antonino Cannavacciuolo, originally from Ticciano (a borough of Vico Equense), has 2 Michelin stars to his name and has just opened a new restaurant, Laqua Countryside, approx. 600 metres away.

To make most of your stay at Villa Celentano, you will need a car. There are up to 2/3 gated car park spaces at the property for small/medium (not large) sized cars just outside the front door. The last 20 metres from the main road up to the villa is a tight and windy road. If you have a large car, there is a free public car park 50 metres from the villa.
