CONTEXT

Sacco (Province of Salerno, Alto Cilento), a small village of about 400 inhabitants, 600 meters above sea level, in the Cervati mountain group, on the slope of Mount Motola, with a view that extends - on the clear days - to the Amalfi Coast. We are in the charming Cilento National Park, full of woods, valleys, springs and unspoilt landscapes, now green and pleasant, full of olive groves, now rough and windy, of heath and chestnut groves, a few kilometres from the Cilento coast, with its long and sandy beaches, and the Amalfi Coast, with its villages nestled in the mountains that overlook the sea.

And then, Ravello, Amalfi and Positano, Capri and Ischia at your fingertips ... by sea, some of the most famous archaeological sites (Paestum, Pompei, Herculaneum), bathing, with a wide selection between high and low coast, Salerno and Naples, if the city and its offers were missing, gastronomy among the most varied and finest in the world.

All this, with great ease of access, via motorway (up to 30 km from the village), High-Speed trains (up to Salerno) and two airports, with the nearest one (Salerno) in process of rapid expansion.

THE PALACE

And it is there, in the village centre, that you will find the mansion, a noble residence from year 1700, close to alleys that go up to the mountain, facing the valleys that decline to the sea.

The structure was completely renovated and strengthened in the mid-80s and was restored in 2015, with verification and adaptation of the infrastructure pursuant to law. Hot water and stoves are powered by gas; the heating system (thermo-fireplace with cast iron terminals) is working but needs verification, considering its sporadic use, mainly in the late spring and summer months.

The palace - inserted between terraced mansions, along the main artery of the village - extends over four levels and is accessed by a large door with stone architraves, adorned by the coat of arms of the house.

The building, typical of the Neapolitan noble architecture from the 1600-1700, rotates, inside, for the first three levels, on a bright entrance hall - with a large cistern well, in stone, and flights of stairs broke by arches - culminating in a transparent vault mirroring the mountain profile on the back of the building.

The ground floor (80 sqm) consists of a large entrance hall that leads to an atrium with a cistern well (about 4 meters deep) and two cellars with cruise vault.

The entrance hall could also be used as a temporary or seasonal parking space, giving priority, in this case, to the second access (also equipped with a large double door), from an alley overlooking one of the central squares of the village.

The first floor (170 sqm) consists of three large and high bedrooms, a large living room, two bathrooms (one with window), a kitchen (17 sqm) with a small fireplace, and a double storage room (of 3 e 5 sqm, respectively).

From this level you gain access to a large square courtyard (115 sqm, named "terrace" in the "characteristic"), framed by the walls of the neighbouring properties, originally used as a vegetable garden, now cemented and adorned with large gazebo, but to be eventually restored to vegetable garden or equipped with a ( swimming) pool.

The courtyard leads to (i) to a built-in cabin with boiler and steel security door, (ii) three large rooms (of 32, 32 and 41 sqm, respectively) - already used as oil mill and for vinification - empty (except for a kitchen with sink and fridge), but already connected to electricity and (both drinking and waste) water and (iii) the mansion's secondary access.

The second level (176 sqm, essentially mirrored on the first level), consists of a spacious mid-floor storage room (12 sqm), three large and high bedrooms, a large living room with panoramic balcony, a kitchen (19 sqm) with small fireplace, a double storage room (of 5 and 3 sqm, respectively), a bathroom with window and adjoining, large shower room (laid in the original dovecote tower), and a small service (1,40 sqm).

The third level (176 sqm), in its raw and empty state, consists of an attic with a maximum (central) height of 2.55 m, declining towards its external margins.
