The Garden of Philosophers
A villa surrounded by greenery with a stunning sea view
The Garden of Philosophers, inspired by the great thinkers who lived in ancient Velia and founded the renowned Eleatic school, is located in Marina di Ascea. It is a recently renovated holiday villa, immersed in over 5000 sqm of garden: an oasis of peace and silence, with panoramic sea-view terraces, a relaxation area with the Reader’s and Thinker’s benches, and in the background, the evocative silhouette of the Velia tower.
The villa consists of 6 independent apartments, all with sea views. Each unit is equipped with TV, washing machine, and bed linen on request. Guests also have access to a barbecue area, a wood oven, and comfortable outdoor showers surrounded by greenery.
An ideal solution for couples and families looking to enjoy a vacation in the heart of Cilento, in a serene setting, surrounded by nature, and less than five minutes by car from the beautiful beaches of Marina di Ascea.
Ascea and Velia: where holidays meet history
The villa is located in a quiet and scenic position in Marina di Ascea. Surrounded by greenery and overlooking the sea, it's just a few minutes from the beaches and the archaeological site of Velia, ancient city of the Eleatic philosophy. A perfect base for exploring Cilento.
