The two-story building is surrounded by private fenced grounds of 1000 square meters (10000 square feet). Both stories have large terraces, kissed by the sun from the moment it rises in the morning to when it sets on the sea. Upon your arrival you will immediately have in front of you the blue of the sea and of the sky, the bright green of the pine trees and a wide panorama of sea and hills on which your eyes will gently roam: you will be happy to live amidst so much beauty for the length of your vacation, and you will cherish this feeling for a long time when you are back home. The garden and the terraces of the villa have a limitless view of the Gulf of Salerno, from the cape of Punta Licosa nearby to the horizon on the far side, with the unmistakable profile of the island of Capri and of the Amalfi Coast. On the sides and below the villa you will be able to see the slopes of the short hill that gently descend as a natural amphitheatre towards the sea. The hill is verdant with ordered vineyards and olive groves that interrupt woods of pine trees. Ancient stone houses and villas are scattered around the vegetation. At the highest point of the hill, sheer above the sea, stands the medieval castle of Castellabate. You will reach Villa Virginia driving along a uphill alley for approximately 800 meters (half a mile) from the center of the village. The alley climbs up the slopes of a hill covered by Aleppo pine, a kind of pine tree that grows close to the sea, and a protected species of the Cilento National Park. The alley is only used by the residents of a few vacation villas partly hidden among the pine trees, and it ends a few meters past Villa Virginia.
