About this apartment rental
What is there to say about this truly magnificent, timelessly elegant holiday home other than it offers its guests an unparalleled taste of authentic Italian luxury and the opportunity to live a week or two (or three, or four…) in the manner of a count, or as a member of the original glitterati who once populated this bedazzling peninsula. Indeed, this home, parts of which date back to the 16th century, boasts somewhat of an illustrious history, having played host to well-known names from the spheres of politics, art, and entertainment – including former US president Gerald Ford and original prima ballerina Carla Fracci among other stars of stage and screen.
Turning off Il Nastro Verde – or ‘the green ribbon’, a road which runs from Sorrento to the village of Sant’Agata sui due Golfi – and onto a cobbled track, the home slowly emerges from behind its veiling cloak of leaves. Built from volcanic rock and adorned with vines, the building itself gives the impression of having emerged from the landscape, figuring itself as a natural feature of its spellbinding surroundings.
Step inside, and in many ways back in time as you try to take in the plethora of original features that look as though they have been lifted straight out of a film set, or animated from the canvas of some famed Italian artist. Carefully selected furniture compliments a seasoned wood ceiling that has overlooked the various comings and goings within the home for centuries, whilst the tile floor has in many places been worn to a fine patina by the many feet which have trod over it. A cherished collection of art and fascinating photographs festoon the walls, showcasing not only the villa’s history but also the care and devotion bestowed upon it by the owners.
Though the feel of this home is distinctly old-world, its captivating charm imbued with a certain fairytale-like essence, the amenities you can enjoy are anything but outdated. Keen home cooks in particular will rejoice when they see the traditional-style kitchen. Intricately tiled and finished with that archetypal Italian blend of gleaming highly polished wood and elegant marble that’s cool to the touch, the collection of bright copper pots and pans hanging overhead (not to mention the store of prestigious vintage wines and cured meats to be found in the vaulted cellars) will inspire anyone to cook – from the rustiest amateurs to fricasseeing virtuosos! Whip up mouth-watering pasta dishes laden with regional cheeses and sprinkled liberally with aromatic herbs, or take things alfresco at the authentic wood-fired pizza oven. Whilst this home is good for the soul, providing a glimpse into history and a way of life now dissipating, it may not be so good for the waistline!
The outdoor spaces provide plenty of seating areas nestled among free-formed lushly verdant gardens lovingly planted with synchronistic flora and fauna, or on the various terraces that look out over the gently undulating landscapes around Massa Lubrense and the stunning Sorrento countryside. Its hillside location among ancient lemon and olive groves makes this an ideal choice for those of you with an inclination towards wandering, as you will find numerous paths winding through untouched greenery and shaded by walnut trees to explore on foot.
Amazing views over the shimmering Bay of Naples and Salerno await you in the nearby hilltop village of Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi whilst the inimitable Amalfi Coast, with its emblematic pastel-hued villages clinging implausibly to rock faces that plunge into aquamarine waters, are within easy reach by car.
