The Property is located in "Badia" Corpo de' Cava (Cava de' Tirreni) 23 miles from Naples International Airport. Badia is a medieval walled fortified village at the mouth of the Amalfi Coast (2 miles) Its relative high elevation (1500 feet) gives it breathtaking views and a wonderful sense of separation from the real world. The walled village sits above a 1000 yr old monastery first established in 1011, which hold the remains of 4 Roman Catholic Saints and other religious artifacts that date back thousands of years.
The property itself faces south, with wonderful views of the green Latteri Mountains, which make up the Amalfi Coast. Along with the peaceful sound of a clear mountain stream which runs below. The property has recently undergone renovations which capture both the quintessential essence of its past along with today's modern necessities. Just 5 to 10 minutes from the beaches of the Amalfi Coast! Only a 15 to 20 minute drive to Pompei, 40 minutes to Paestum, 25 minutes to Amalfi or you can take the ferry which departs from the port of Salerno, (10 minute drive) to get to Capri or Positano. Or you can go hiking in the green Latteri mountains that run along the Amalfi coast with there breathtaking views. Or just sit on the terrace over looking the monastery and valley below. We are only 50 meters away from a 4 star hotel with a pool that you can have access to, along with their health spa ! (Additional fees will apply.)
This summer we have available a 36ft Luxury Motor Boat with a Captain for full day or half day excursions along the Amalfi Coast. You can also visit Capri, Agropoli, Palanuro. spend an unforgettable day on the Italy's Azzurro ! Additional fee's will apply. Visit youtubeimpetus36 and see the video.
The one thing Badia is not, is touristy. You will find only family owned restaurants that serve only the best local cuisine. So if you want something special come and stay in Badia! You won't be disappointed.. Please note this is a small medieval village and parking is at a premium although you will be able to unload your baggage at the door, you will then have to find parking about 100yds away.
Also the Monastery is celebrated their Millennium ! For more info on the Monastery visit their website.

A Gem of a Home; a Gem of a Village

Joe is a terrific host! The lucky fact that he happened to be around while we were there just after New Year’s was perfect – and we also got to meet his wonderful neighbor; the entire village really made us feel welcomed from the first moment we arrived. The home is absolutely fantastic (we commented that it is far too nice to rent out), with nice touches throughout: the furniture is beautiful, the upstairs patio opens up to tremendous mountain vistas, and even the wonderful little Vermont cast iron stove is a joy. Even the heavy wooden door has a cool, pseudo-skeleton key adding just that perfect touch. Whatever you do, don’t bother trying to drive into the town itself. When you get to the heavy medieval gray stone wall, turn left and park on the road just before the thousand year-old monastery. Even with luggage, the steep path up to the apartment is completely navigable – take your time and enjoy the fact that you are in a terrific little Italian mountain village. Once settled, go up the hill and meet some of Joe’s friends at one of the three nice restaurants up there. Dino at the tiny local grocery is also friendly and helpful. A hike up the mountain trails that start at the monastery provide a different and picturesque view of the village and if you go far enough, you can see the Amalfi coast spread out before you. Overall, this place is a terrific change from apartment rentals in cities. It’s off the beaten path, quiet, and charming, with stunning views. Joe and his family and friends assure that you’ll enjoy your time there.

What a great experience. We stayed two weeks and were met by owner and neighbors with wine, cheese, fruit and bread on our late afternoon arrival on a Sunday. They then had the chef from a local resturant pick us up to take us to dinner. Home is as advertised. Very lovingly decorated and maintained. Everyday people in this charming village treated us one of their own. Neither of us spoke Italian and I speak poor Spanish but that did not stop the conversation. As a side for those of you on a long stay like us and driving highly recommed NaviItalian. Best $7 I ever spent on a GPS programme on my Ipad. Saved our lives. Also, this is the second long stay we have done and wish we had brougt some DVD's from home for the nights we didn't go out. Only so much news you can take. Again, highly recommed for location, mountain hiking, Vietri beach.

We loved our recent stay here! The uniqueness of this town screamed to me and boy am I glad it did. A short drive to the sights and absolutely charming on its own. We visited gorgeous Amalfi beach towns, swam & sunbathed, took a bus up to Ravello, rode a ferry along the coast from Salerno, saw the ruins of Paestum and Pompeii, then returning to the comfortable, clean and tasteful home Joe has created. The owner's friend was a wonderful help to us getting to the grocery store, mozzerella factory and we enjoyed some yummy desserts from his favorite bakery too. His mom, Rita, well, she's a keeper! She instantly felt like family. What a lovely woman! Unexpected kindnesses that really make you feel at home. Hike the mountain, visit the monastery and make sure you get up to the wonderful restaurants above like the beautiful Maximum. This is a quiet, beautiful mountainside retreat with a terrace where you can almost reach out and touch the green mountain. I can't say enough and would not hesitate to return.

SIMPLY AMAZING PLACE TO BE!

Our recent trip to the quaint hillside town of Cava de' Terreni Italy was all that we had hoped for and more. Our rental home was recently renovated including a modern kitchen, bathrooms and a comfy, clean well kept living area. From the "floating" staircase, to the exquisite sliding glass doors, no expense was spared on renovations. We especially loved the mornings on the terrace off the master bedroom! The view of green forested mountains towering above and a one thousand year old monastery nestled below were amazing! From this convenient location we were able to take day trips to the scenic Amalfi coast, Pompeii, Capri and surrounding area. The "small town" feeling of Corpo di' Cava offers a wonderful opportunity to mingle with the locals. There is a rather steep cobble stone path leading to several restaurants further up the mountain not too far from "home". The views and great food made the walk more than worthwhild. We especially loved the pizza! The owner's mother happened to be visiting next door during our stay and prepared one of her homemade Italian dishes for us one evening. It doesn't get any better than that! We highly recommend visiting Joseph's lovely home in this magical place. Should we ever have the chance to return, we would never consider staying anyplace else.

My wife and I stayed in this beautiful flat for 7 nights over the Christmas holiday and both agreed it was by far the best rental we have ever had, and we have been all over the world. First the medieval castle village sits high upon a picturesque mountain looking out at the sounding hills and valleys below. The beauty outside your windows is extraordinary. The small ancient streets give you the feel of being back in the 1500’s with all the touches, textures and smells but kept up as it was still 1500. This large two story flat has recently been renovated and it looks like no expense was spared with top quality, modern finishes in every room. The house was perfectly clean and inviting and the bed fairly comfortable. We had originally thought of staying on the Amalfi coast but for us this location was much better because we wanted to visit the City of Salerno, Pompeii, Paustum and Naples and the drive was much easier versus navigating the narrow , slow roads of the peninsula. Plus you are only 10 minutes away from the water and beach. Plus we were with the locals and got a much better feel for real neighborhoods and people. Joseph, the owner of the house, was extremely accommodating and helpful via email and phone from America where he lives. He leaves the care of the house to his neighbors, Gaetano and his wife Maria. These two people were beyond nice, they invited my wife and I over to their home for Christmas dinner and we had an amazing feast with their entire family. These are some of the nicest, giving people we have ever come across in our travels and we can now call them our friends. So do you think we liked this place? You bet. My wife and I have traveled around the world extensively and staying here was one of the most special experiences we have had. We give this rental our highest marks! Ciao

We stayed here in late November. It felt like a cabin in the mountains. We did not have a car, but found the bus and train system to be quite adequate. There is information at the train station. The owner's mother who is the caretaker was very helpful. She called the local restaurant and they came and picked us up and brought us back to the apartment. The Badia is truely amazing. We took the guided tour and then returned to spend more time in the library. The monks were very helpful and friendly. I hope that we can return to this wonderful place

This was our 3rd trip to Italy, and it quickly became our favorite starting with our stay here at this Amalfi Coast gem! It was just glorious walking in and seeing wall to wall windows with a stunning private view overlooking the mountains. Very peaceful and serene. The owners mother is the care taker of the property - and she was awesome! She speaks perfect english and even recomended the BEST italian restaurant. My husband and i took "day trips" to Salerno, Amalfi, Capri, Positano..etc - and all were pretty easy access. We'd stay again in a heartbeat!!

What a treasure! We go to Europe twice a year and have rented many, many properties some through VRBO and this was one of our top favorites. The thorougly modern appointments in the lovely spacious 2 bedroom apartments included only the very best. The beds were excellent, the quiet village charming, the proximity to important attractions perfect. The owner's mother is on the premises and was completely accommodating and a wealth of language help and area resources. She went so far as to prepare food for our late arrival! What a sweetie! We would definately return to this gem!
