Small, fine, bright apartment in the green with sea views
On the edge of the UNESCO National Park Cilento, borgolecaselle is located in the midst of a fascinating mountain landscape with clear traces of traditional agriculture and livestock farming with a wide view of the “golfo di policastro”, which is protected by a steep, unspoilt coastline with familiar bathing bays.
Fortunately, we are still surrounded by the gentle sound of goats (capra cilentana), cows and sheep, supplied with natural products from small farmers from an almost forgotten world. The wide municipal area of Tortorella includes different vegetation zones between 50 and 1480 m, which still offer pastures to the shepherds depending on the season.
The largely untouched and surprisingly green hinterland invites hikers with a scouting spirit to extensive explorations of natural beauties: old holm oak / beech forests, bizarre karst rocks, deep gorges and grottos with clear streams and drinking water sources, on old mule trails with rare flowers and herbs. The wolf, the wildcat, the otter and the like. a. still belong to the long-established tribesmen, glow worms and frog concerts often accompany sunset and clear starry sky.
