Oasi Olimpia cottages Sant' Agata

This outstanding hotel is proud to announce the opening of 3 beautifully designed independent cottages set in the grounds of the hotel. All with private patio and lawned area, these charming apartments are of a very high standard and a real bonus for those of you looking to do a little catering of your own but knowing that the hotel facilities are on tap when you wish for a little extra pampering! A leisurely breakfast is served in the hotel up to midday giving you plenty of time to have that luxurious ‘lie-in’ or do a few lengths in the pool before enjoying the scrumptious fare. The elegant restaurant will be happy to serve you excellent local dishes in the evening whilst admiring a spectacular view across the bay.

Sole and Luna (2–3 guests)

These are of a similar size and have 1 double bedroom, 1 shower room, a lounge area with small open-plan kitchenette (hob, sink, fridge/freezer, dishwasher), furnished patio and private garden area. An extra single bed or cot may be provided on request.

Stella (4–5 guests)

2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms make this a spacious apartment for a family or friends travelling together. Lounge and small kitchen area equipped with hob, sink, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, furnished patio and private garden. An extra single bed or cot may be provided on request.

These cottages are an excellent choice for those of you looking for a little luxury with the added advantage of being able to cater for yourselves and just enjoy the peace and beauty of the location. The wonderful gardens are a paradise for soaking up the sunshine during the day and great for star-gazing during the dark neapolitan evenings – you may well find it hard to tear yourself away from this perfect setting.
