Venus's Hair

A waterfall hidden among the greenery

I Capelli di Venere is one of those places that takes you by surprise.

In Casaletto Spartano, this natural setting is home to a unique waterfall, where the water flows over slender rock formations, creating a light, continuous effect that seems almost suspended in mid-air.

The interplay of water, moss, and light creates a unique landscape, unlike any other in the Cilento region. The greenery is lush and dense, and remains vibrant even during the hottest months, thanks to the area’s constant humidity.

The path to reach them is easy and surrounded by nature, with trails and narrow passages that gently lead you to the waterfall.

Visitors arriving on the hottest days can also find some relief: the water is clear and cool, with a temperature of around 6–8 degrees.

It’s a destination that’s a change of pace from the beach, perfect for slowing down and enjoying a quieter moment, surrounded by the sounds of nature and fresh air.

They’re about an hour’s drive from Mareluna, making them perfect for a day trip to round out your stay with a unique experience.
