This is how holiday rental owners described Tortorella
show more Campania, towards Monte Coccuzzo, Monte Cervati (1899 m), Monte Gelbison (1705 m) and Monte Bulgheria (1225 m) dominating the gulf area. Tortorella has been able to preserve its original traditional aura. Stone-built houses with decorative portals seem to grow from the rocky mountain side, with narrow streets allowing you glimpses into shaded vegetable and flower gardens.
The inhabitants, some three hundred, go about their daily routine, meeting in the forenoon at Giuseppe´s bar for a game of cards or collecting their pensions at the post office, and on Wednesdays chatting with friends in the market place or in front of the church on a Sunday. The comunity area is stretching from about 1400 m down to the sea, with a vegetation providing pasture land at all seasons. From Tortorella to the coast there is a fine roadlink recently built and not yet to be found on the maps (Tortorella-Mare). The journey takes about 15 minutes.
In midsummer, the small coastal town of Villamare on the Golfo di Policastro is the centre of typical Italian beach life. There you will find a wide sandy beach, deck chair rental, small restaurants and bars. Along the steep cliffs near Acquafredda to the South and Scario to the North there are numerous small coves with crystal clear water to be discovered only on foot or by boat.
The more adventurous hikers will certainly appreciate the unspoilt beauty of nature on their walks through woodlands to grottoes and streams , with fern and orchids (in May and June), and perhaps find interest in the remains of local agriculture dating from the last century.
We keep a number of maps , leaflets and brochures for you to consult. Also, we have several marked trails in the vicinity of the Borgo.
To those interested in local history or archeology we would like to recommend visiting the following places of interest:
-the Certosa di Padula, the most imposing Carthusian monastery in Southern Italy
-the early Christian baptistry San Giovanni in Fonte
-Teggiano, an old bishopric with its churches and museum
-Roccagloriosa, founded by the Lucanians, a couple of centuries before the arrival of the Romans
in the Cilento. The town boasts a small excavation site and two small museums with bronze
vessels and gold armaments
-Paestum (at about 100 kilometers) with the most imposing remains of an early Greek colonial
civilization: three well preserved temples, town wall and an outstanding museum
-Velia, a town of architectural interest, with Greco-Roman remains and small museum
- Leaving Campania and crossing into Calabria, the Grotta del Romito is certainly worth a visit, displaying Stone-Age graves and a mural drawing.
