Borgolecaselle is situated at the Southern edge of Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park, amidst green hillsides supporting traditional agriculture and livestock farming. From the Borgo you have magnificient views of the Gulf (Golfo di Policastro) and the Thyrranian Sea. At an altitude of 670 mtrs, the two carefully restored houses built of natural stone are part of the comunal area of Tortorella, bordering on the Basilicata.
Borgolecaselle consists of two houses, offering holiday accommodation in three separate units: The “Lower House” or “Casa Sottana” accommodating 4-6 people on 110 sq.mtrs and the “Upper House” or “Casa Soprana” for up to 6 people on 120 sq.mtrs . The third unit is the “Scuola Vecchia” below the Casa Soprana, giving space to 2-3 people on 40 sq.mtrs.
The houses sit on terraced hillside land, with lawn, vegetable garden and holm oak woodland. Each holiday home has its own entrance and terraces affording panoramic views across an undulating landscape all the way to the Gulf and the sea in the distance. Each holiday unit has central heating supplied by a wood burning oven or fire. In summer, hot water is provided by solar energy and gas.
There is an annex to each building, complete with washing machine, dryer, iron board and iron free of charge. Logs for fireplace or barbecue are also at your disposal. We provide you with free bedding and towels.
There is a tree-house on stilts in the adjoining wood where you will enjoy some of your leisure time between excursions.

The pretty village of Tortorella (with groceries, butcher, bar and post-office) lies 6 km from the Borgo, with the distance to the coast and the small coastal town of Sapri (IC railway station) of about 15 km, or 25 minutes by car. You reach Naples airport within a 2,5 to 3 hours drive (200 km).
From the terraces of the Borgo in extremely good weather you may be able to catch a glimpse of Stromboli vulcano. Lovely sunsets and starr-studded nights can be observed particularly in spring and autumn.
In mid-summer both the altitude of the Borgo and the oak forests provide a pleasant relief from a hot day on the beach or along the coast..
Our neighbours keep a small livestock farm with a vegetable garden. Some of the local farmers make their own varieties of cheese and provide fresh lamb. Some earn their livelihood as shepherds as they did a hundred years ago.
If you prefer our company on your walks and comments on the locals and their history, you might wish to book one of our guided hiking tours.
We will tailor your tours to suit your tasks, for groups of not less than six persons. We also offer programmed tours on given dates for individual travellers.
If you have any special requirements or wishes please let us know, we would like to oblige you.
