The property was built in the early eighteenth century, according to a typology then widespread with barrel vaults. In ancient times it served as a lookout tower inside the lemon terraces then, in 1875, following the abandonment of the adjacent Lone Church, the tower was transformed into a Sacred Chapel to accommodate, until the beginning of the 900, the Madonna di Lone. On that occasion, the first decorations were made, at times still existing. At the beginning of 1920 it was transformed into a residential house.
In 2010, major renovations were made to the building by the current owner: the 'tower' with its large wall of about 160 cm, has become a luxury bathroom with the original decorations of the time. Adjacent to it is a frescoed bedroom in which stands out on the headboard of the original painting of the Madonna located at the time in the Old Chapel. The property is located in a beautiful location, overlooking the sea and the famous natural 'arc of love' that for years has been the testimonial of the famous chocolates 'Baci Perugina'.
The Villa is in a very convenient position to reach, by car or public transport, all the other locations of the Coast.
To reach the property there are 104 comfortable steps to climb from the coastal road. The stairs are the characteristic of all the houses of Amalfi that was built on the slopes of the mountain that embraces the sky and sea.

We loved everything about the Villa and Guilia our contact person. The location was perfect, close to downtown Amalfi. Giulia met us when we checked in and went over everything very meticulously. She set up transportation and recommended a few restaurants for us . 10 out of 10 stay!

After a few bustling days in Rome our stay in Amalfi was peaceful and joyful. From the moment we met Giulia and entered Villa Lauro we were caught up in the magic. Every room a delight. Sunshine, amazing views, airy space, everything we hoped for and more. Yes, the stairs must be reckoned with but we got better and better at them. Being oldest I was fine, just had to be smart about my pace UP! Going down was a joy. The pool much enjoyed and needed! We had a blast. We loved the location. We loved Gas Bar. We loved Villa Lauro!

Many times the homes in real life don't look as fabulous as the pics on the app but this is a rare exception where this home exceeded the pics and offered an exceptional sense of cleanliness, beauty, spectacular views & comfort. The host offered amazing reliability to assist with transport, dining options and anything we needed assistance with. We felt cared for, like part of the family. This sets the bar way high!! I'll be returning for sure! :)

Villa Lauro is an incredible property and Giulia was probably the best host I’ve ever have dealt with. From the very beginning of booking this property, she contacted me and assisted in helping plan our entire trip. From our private boat guided tour of the Amalfi Coast, Pompei tour, Ravello, Positano, dinners, private chef, delivered breakfasts every morning set up on the patio, she couldn’t have been more helpful or quick to respond. The Villa itself is gorgeous as well. Yes, there are a lot of stairs to get to it but Giulia arranged porters to help with the bags (even for our 4:30AM departure to get back to Rome) and what is at the end of the climb is well worth it. Such an amazing property, from the view to the patio to the Villa itself, it really is perfect. The location was also great. Just outside the gates to the Villa is the GAS Bar which has drink, snacks and a restaurant upstairs with, what we thought was really good food! Sandwiches, pizza’s, pasta, appetizer. We ate there a couple of times and always enjoyed it. A very quick ride to Amalfi (it was a 40 Euro cab ride for a 5 min ride, which seemed a bit excessive) and we arranged drivers to visit the other beautiful cities along the coast. The only thing that I couldn’t tell from the pictures is that the patio isn’t connected to the Villa. It’s just outside the front door down a few stairs. There is a great balcony connected to Villa. Would love to come back!

Villa Lauro was a fabulous home away from home on the coast. We had no issues staying at the Villa. Giulia was a dream, and went above and beyond during our stay. From assisting us with a special birthday dinner one night at the villa to helping us locate and retrieve a bag that we left one night at a local restaurant, she was superb! It was very difficult to leave Villa Lauro. I hope to return to this very special place soon!

We expected and understood the steps to get up to the Villa. What was not expected was the steep staircase inside the villa to the upstairs bedroom and the difficulty in managing multiple levels within that tight space. The youngest couple in our group (50's) stay in that room, but they had fallen off the platform bed during the first night and were reluctant to repeat the experience. They ended up having to sleep in the living room.

My friends and I stayed at this spectacular Villa in Amalfi and it was one of the greatest experiences of our lives. The Host is amazing and she was very informative and easy to work with. The bedroom and amenities were spacious and beautiful. The best part of this place was the outside area/terrace. It was very spacious with stunning views of the water and the Amalfi coast. We had a group of 9 friends plus an infant spend 4 nights here and it was well worth it. I couldn’t recommend this place more, book it.
