Property 235

Location and Surrounding Area

With generous fully-furnished terraces and a private pool, this exceptional six-bedroom villa is the perfect place for a stylish break on one of the most famous stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean. With a spectacular cliff-top setting facing the glittering Bay of Naples, it is no wonder the Amalfi Coast is a must-visit destination on everyone's bucket list. Tucked in between mountains and sea, Amalfi is a town best explored on foot.

While Piazza Duomo and the main street are home to most of the town’s shops and restaurants, do spend some time wandering and exploring the quieter side streets, where you will find arched passageways, hidden gardens and tiny piazzas. The villa is a few kilometers from Ravello. Sitting high in the hills above Amalfi, Ravello is famous for its lush gardens and stupendous views, the best in the world according to former resident Gore Vidal.

The sight of Positano from a distance is breathtaking. Color is everywhere, reflecting on the tranquil sea, the silvery pebbled beach and the gleaming Majolica-domed church of Santa Maria Assunta. The houses built up from the waterside, accessible to one another via an endless array of steep stairs, boast pale sorbet colors. In summer, when the serried ranks of sunbeds fill up quickly, take a boat to explore the many small coves up and down the coast.

The ancient center of Sorrento is laid out on a Roman grid of narrow lanes, now lined with restaurants serving pasta and shops selling lemon-themed souvenirs. But away from the well-worn paths are little-explored nooks and crannies. The vaulted Sedile Dominova, once a meeting space for aristocracy, is now a working-men's club where old-timers while away afternoons playing cards. If Sorrento gets too much, the laid-back town of Vico Equense, which stands on a sheer tufa cliff just along the coast, makes an attractive base.

Property 235 is 63 km from Naples Capodichino International Airport and 320 km from Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. Amalfi is 3 km from the villa, Ravello is 8 km, Maiori is 8 km, Positano is 20 km, Sorrento is 32 km, Vico Equense is 32 km, Pompeii is 37 km, Herculaneum is 53 km, Naples is 59 km. The villa is just a five-minute drive from the center of Amalfi, where all the necessary services can be easily found.
