Thank you for your interest regarding IL PARNASO. We are situated in the region of Campania , in the south of Italy. Il Parnaso is on the Cilento coast which possesses many historic sights as Paestum Velia and Padula, plus the national park of Cilento.
Its mantle of woodland thins out as it approaches the sea of sparkling blue with countless villages along its shores.
To be more precise, we are in Castellabate approximately 40 miles south of salerno. The little village derives its name from its founder, saint Costabile Gentilcore, who was the fourth abbot of the abbey of Cava and sponsored the building of the castle in the 12™ century.
The ancient village as frozen in time, with its stoned paved street all leading to a small piazza where one can sit and admire the magnificent view of the harbour of San Marco and Punta Licosa.
From “the vaglio” on a clear day you can see the Amalfi coastline and island of Capri.
