About this villa rental
Luxuriously finished historic palazzo with elegant interiors, jacuzzi and sea-view terraces, positioned in the heart of Amalfi
Palazzo della Storia is a remarkable villa, achieving the unusual feat of delivering an ultra-glam experience in a historic 17th-century residence. It’s been part of the same family for almost four centuries and their passion for the property is almost tangible. It’s all the more remarkable for its location, just 300 m from central Amalfi’s Piazza Flavio Gioia. Access to the villa is from the piazza, via 300 steps or in the public lift (from 8 am to midnight).
Extending over 300 m², the villa boasts two terraces. Sip your morning espresso, feast al fresco or relax back in the lounge chairs on the first (150 m²) of two terraces, with mesmerising views over the sea and Amalfi town. A second terrace, accessed from the living room, dining room and bedrooms also provides sea views as does the jacuzzi (3 x 2.3 m).
Interior spaces are every bit as ravishing, featuring high, vaulted ceilings, exquisite furniture and distinctive Amalfi coast style. Communal spaces include a living room with double doors through to the dining room and a sleek glossy white kitchen with colourful ceramics. The utility room has a guest bathroom with toilet and sink.

• The SITA bus stop (300 m) in Piazza Flavio Gioia is the main terminal for buses that connect all the Amalfi Coast villages. Hop on a bus up to Ravello (6 km) to gaze at dazzling blooms and spellbinding coastal views from the gardens at the Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone.

• Choose from several scenic walking trails including a downhill one hour walk from Ravello to Amalfi and the ‘Sentiero dei Limoni’, a spectacular walk through the lemon groves between Minori and Maiori.
• Classical music fans will love the annual summer concert series which takes place at the Villa Rufolo and the impressively modern Oscar Niemeyer Auditorium in Ravello.

Overall, our stay was amazing. Domenico was a very gracious host and promptly responded to all requests. The house, along with the great breakfasts from the staff, added to the sweet and beautiful memories we will have from our trip. Guests with mobility challenges may have a harder time navigating the steps to the house, but there are landings along the way to rest. If y

The property was fantastic! Very clean, well-located and breakfast and daily cleaning were a huge plus. We loved using the hot tub at the end of our sightseeing days. The owner helped us organize a private chef for a dinner in the villa, which was fabulous! We were a group of 7 and the property was large and comfortable for our group. We highly recommend this property for a vacation in Amalfi!

We loved everything about this home! The location overlooking the sea was close to everything in Amalfi-docks, central square, bus stops, etc. The home was beautifully renovated, decorated, and clean. I plan on going back next summer!

Domenico was a great host. He helped out everyday. Just FYI you need to use the elevator to access the property. It only operates 8am-midnight so plan accordingly. Overall the home is beautiful and the host amazing

The villa and service were great! Every morning we had a light breakfast prepared for us, and housekeeping cleaned our rooms every day. Claudia and Maria were very pleasant and made sure we were always well taken care of.

What an amazing house. The views are absolutely breathtaking! It was perfect for our family( 7 adults) and a great home base for the Amalfi Coast. There is a lift that will take you up and down between 8 am and midnight which is tremendously helpful. However, there are still some stairs you will need to take. I only took the stairs down once and I don’t think I would have done so well taking them up! As long as you are steady on your feet, the stairs after the elevator are totally worth it.
Domenico was a 5 star host and the rental team were good with quick responses. We had a chef come to the house to cook dinner one night, and they were so helpful with the arranging of it. The picture of the “tub” is a little misleading. It is not a pool, it is a hot tub but our family definitely enjoyed that. The housekeeper came each morning and it was wonderful to come home to a tidy house. The AC was great as it was really hot when we were there. Domenico was so helpful and quick with responses if any questions or problems came up during our stay.
I can’t recommend this house enough. I miss it already and it helped make such a special memory for our family.

The villa itself is stunning, historical, well located, and has the most amazing views and amenities. The best part of the villa is the owner, Domenico. The villa is his labor of love that has been in his family for generations. He is so welcoming, responsive, and accommodating, and has thought of every detail that makes staying at this villa better than many of the best hotels I have stayed at. It is well-stocked, just need some groceries if not eating out all the time (which you can pre-order to be delivered or easily pick up yourself in the piazza). There is a laundry room, iron, hair dryers, espresso machine for a variety of drinks (stocked with coffee), and a well equipped kitchen to cook and eat in. Each morning there were two staff people that came by to set up a sweet Italian breakfast on the terrace, prepare coffee drinks, and maintain and clean the villa. The location is right on the coast steps from the piazza and beach club. The villa is very high up (hence the stunning views) so you will need to use the public lift (which was open morning until midnight daily during our stay) or take about 300 steps! You can coordinate things on your own (we used Mondo Guide), Amore Rentals (we pre-ordered some groceries and coordinated chef services - Amore is the management company and coordinates with Domenico), or get suggestions from Domenico.

extraordinary and outstanding
We have stayed in rental vacation homes all over the world. Without question, Palazzo Casanova is the most extraordinary and outstanding property we have ever had the good fortune to rent. The rental company was incredible responsive. Domenico and his staff took excellent care of us. And the home itself is spectacular- spacious, refined, and elegant, yet comfortable and cozy. The house is easily accessible via the public elevator. Once inside, it is private and extremely well-equipped. Amalfi is a perfect location from which to explore Pompeii and Naples,anywhere along the coast.

I don't know where to start when describing this property
I don't know where to start when describing this property. It is the most unique and gorgeous home that we have ever seen,had the good fortune to stay in.. It is located on the top of a "mountain" right behind the main cathedral and only a block from the main square in town. Because it is high up the views are spectacular and you can see all of Amalfi from the wrap around decks and from the bedrooms. We thought we were living in a postcard. The apartment itself is gorgeous and has a wonderful history. Each room is carefully thought out and beautifully furnished. The bedrooms were very very comfortable and the adjoining bathrooms were perfect. The owner, Domenico, is amazing. He is there with staff to help you with anything you needwant, starting with the check in. Our stay included breakfast and maid service, which was fabulous. This property is so unique that it is a bit difficult to get to- it requires navigating an elevator and some steps, which Domenico and his staff assist with when you have luggage so it's not a problem. We are all seasoned travelers and this property truly blew us away.

Villa was truly amazing!! The view was the best in all of Amalfi, very spacious clean and the porch is incredible!! The host was super helpful in all areas including getting covid tests done in the villa in order to depart Italy. The pictures don't do justice. Definitely would come back.

Really truly a fabulous experience from beginning to end. Stunning views! Lovely breakfast everyday. We were blown away! If you are headed to Amalfi, STAY HERE!!! Big beds! Everything you need! Just be ready to lug your luggage up and down some steps. But trust me… totally worth it!

Villa Casanova was absolutely beautiful and everything we were hoping it would be based on the pictu
Villa Casanova was absolutely beautiful and everything we were hoping it would be based on the pictures we saw on the website. The owners were wonderful and very helpful with logistics and restaurant suggestions. The outside area was also incredible with stunning views. The location was very convenient and only 5 minutes from the center of Amalfi. We were able to reach Praiano easily by water taxis. Positano was 40 minutes away and easy to access via taxiscooters. The housekeeper was lovely and was there everyday to deliver breakfast and clean the villa. We would definitely come back here to stay.
