About Selvitelle - Ecolodge Selvitelle

Perfect hide-out

Ecolodge Selvitelle is the perfect hide-out for adult couples who are looking for absolute peace, privacy and nature experience.

Selvitelle is open almost all year round for couples who:

want to spend their holiday in Cilento;
have emigration wishes and want to orientate;
are retired or are preparing to retire and are looking for a permanent home;
are taking a sabbatical;
are looking for inspiration for a change of lifestyle;
want to write a book or business plan in peace and quiet

Recently built

A place in nature without sacrificing any form of comfort was the starting point for the construction. Both the studios and a part of the furniture were built by ourselves in the period 2017-2019 to create atmospheric and comfortable living units. Natural elements such as wood and stone predominate.

The estate

The estate of Ecolodge Selvitelle covers approximately 2.5 hectares of fenced terrain, situated on a south-facing hillside. Surrounded by oak woods and Mediterranean scrub, you will find an olive grove with about 350 olive trees. Within it, work has begun on the creation of a food forest. By planting a variety of fruit and nut trees. Around the studios you will find various fruit trees, a large vegetable garden and herb beds.

During your stay at Selvitelle the seasonal produce of the estate will be offered free of charge for your daily use.

Natural, seemingly chaos

Do not expect a rigidly cultivated land designed by garden architects. We experiment with organic and synergistic agricultural practices (Permaculture). Simply put, this means we let nature take its course. By planting all kinds of crops together so that they support each other. The biodiversity thus created ensures that people can live off the land in a sustainable way. Leaving room for wild plants and animals.

It goes without saying that no artificial fertiliser or other chemical substances are used on our estate to protect our crops. Preventive spraying treatments are exclusively based on herbal extracts.
