This beautiful nineteenth-century villa offers something you won’t easily find elsewhere – stunning views over both the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno, and in addition to that, the house itself is a rare gem. Originally built as a farmhouse, the place has undergone meticulous restoration, and it now seamlessly blends the unique features of its past with all the modern comforts needed to make a stay here a luxurious affair. Arrive up the narrow road to find yourself on the very top of this mystical landscape – from here you can enjoy the breathtaking vistas stretching all the way to the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida. Surrounded by lemon, orange and olive groves, the villa will surely catch you under its spell before you even step through the front door. The inside is huge and welcoming, with many beautiful pieces and extravagant furnishings to match its grand scale. We love the wood beams on the ceilings and the gorgeous tiled floors. There is plenty of room here to kick back and relax with a holiday read or to organise larger communal gatherings – and of course, the space is not limited to the elegant indoors. Outside you’ll find a beautiful terrace, with a dining table and lots of comfy garden furniture for lounging about and enjoying cool glasses of spritz. Take a dip in the infinity pool, while the sun begins to set over the spectacular horizon. Now is the time to gather everyone outside and enjoy a delicious supper under the stars, in the balmy Mediterranean air. Fire up the barbecue and let the fun begin. For a night of sweet repose head up to the first floor where you’ll have a choice between four equally plush bedrooms, each featuring its own bathroom. Wake up refreshed and ready for another day in the sun. If you ever manage to pull yourself away from your oasis, there is plenty to explore in the area. From the many famous resorts of the Amalfi Coast within an easy drive, to the more local delights of the Sant'Agata Sui Due Golfi, where you’ll find excellent restaurants and quaint shops. For an idyllic beach day, the picturesque Marina del Cantone is a mere ten-minute drive away.
