The Ciglioto Valley is situated in Licusati, a hilltop district of the municipality of Camerota, nestled within the tranquility of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano, and Alburni National Park. This part of Campania remains authentic and largely untouched by mass tourism, making it perfect for those seeking relaxation, nature, and local traditions, without sacrificing proximity to the sea.
From here, it's easy to drive to Marina di Camerota, known for its golden sandy beaches and clear waters that have consistently received accolades for their quality and beauty. Notable destinations include Cala Bianca and Baia degli Infreschi, which can be accessed on foot or by boat excursions, both of which are true gems set in the rocky coastline, surrounded by caves, trails, and the scents of the Mediterranean scrub.
The village of Licusati retains an authentic atmosphere, characterized by quiet streets, ancient churches, small shops, and the warmth of Cilento hospitality. Nearby, you can explore other charming towns such as San Giovanni a Piro or Centola, as well as the Palinuro promontory, famous for Capo Palinuro and the Blue Grotto.
The region provides numerous opportunities for excursions, scenic trekking, cycling trips, or simply leisurely walks through olive groves, forests, and valleys. Throughout the year, Cilento offers colors and flavors that reflect a deep connection to the land: from the DOP white fig to caciocavallo cheese, as well as extra virgin olive oil and local wine.
Its strategic location between the sea and hills allows for a well-rounded experience, with days spent at the beach and cool evenings in the hills, far from the hustle and bustle yet close to everything that makes Cilento a unique destination.
