General

This ancient wonderful Villa built in the 19th century straight up the sea of the Amalfi Coast, below the town of Ravello is the right place for an unforgettable vacation. Its amazing terraced gardens slope down towards the ocean. Set in a magic place of natural beauty, the Villa has its own private access to the sea, in the heart of the Amalfi Coast. The Villa, with its 8 breathtaking sea view  bedrooms sleeping till 16 persons,  has just been renovated with all comforts, maintaining the architectural features of the building intact and preserving the special character of historical homes with rich antique and elegant furnishings and majolica tiled floors. Its four stories are connected by an ancient stairway with artistic inlaid wood handrails and arched windows overlooking the beautiful sea.

At the Villa’s entrance, near the parking area, located on the street level of the Amalfi main Costal Road, you can find the reception -with info and internet point- and the living room with fireplace, ancient library and TV flat LCD 40” and a courtesy bathroom. On the garden floor, there are the inside dining room, with TV flat LCD 40” and own little wine cellar that is excavated into the rock, and the full equipped kitchen with laundry corner. Both rooms are overlooking a covered and panoramic loggia of about 60 sqm, the ideal area to have al fresco breakfast, lunch and romantic candle lights dinner with a breathtaking views of the sea and the coast. Another two little equipped kitchens are on the roof garden and into the natural cave near the sea, both have a barbeque area.

All 8 rooms (two of these convertible in twin beds on request)  have a breathtaking view just upon the sea with balconies and/or windows, comfortable sitting corner, ensuite bathroom with glass mosaic, comfortable hydro shower and/or Jacuzzi and hairdryer, heating, air conditioning, TV flat LCD with satellite, internet point, minibar and safe. They all have been elegantly decorated with antique furnishings, precious textile fabrics, hardwood floor and majolica tiled hand made floors.
