Welcome to the Villa Ligeia on the beautiful Costa di Maratea in Southern Italy. This stunning, modernist villa and its guest cottage sit in 9 acres of formal and wild gardens and managed woodland.

The property offers solitude and privacy (rare commodities in Italy in summer) with easy access to Italian life and fun.

Both houses float on their surrounding terraces in this beautiful natural setting with breathtaking views across the Golfo di Policastro and down the corniche coast line.

As well as the beautifully situated pool there are several places from which you can get into the sea. At the other end of the village there is a beach with its own little cafe.

This largely undiscovered area of Italy boasts many beaches, charming hill towns and wonderful ancient sites to visit as well as huge nature reserves for trekking. The food is excellent with a great variety of restaurants (one of the best on the coast is only 7 minutes' walk from the front door) and cafes and plenty of boutiques and Italian people-watching.
