Formerly owned by the acclaimed writer Matilde Serao and visited by a catalogue of famous guests, this stylish home captivates you from the first moment you arrive. 

We instantly fell in love with the colourful outdoor space – it's an oasis of pure, natural beauty. A huge cushioned seating area is tailor-made for nights sharing wine, snacks and stories whilst looking out across the ocean. 

For more intimate dining, a cute dining table rests under the pergola, a wooden table is sheltered under an umbrella and a small, blue table rests close to the sea. There are so many idyllic social spots in the villa, it's hard to know which one to choose.

Before you sit down for dinner, make sure to explore the lush, green expanse of the garden. Bright flowers punctuate the verdant grass, which leads to the gorgeous heart-shaped pool in the middle. It's really one of the most beautiful outdoor areas we've ever seen.

Not that you'd ever wish to leave, but if you did fancy an adventure, you're moments from the waterfront. Wander down to the seaport in just fifteen minutes and you'll reach the nexus of bars, restaurants and cafes on the water.

Ocean Lulls

Cultivate paradise at this gorgeous villa, with its vegetable garden, surrounding olive grove and citrus fruit orchard. Made up of four buildings – a main house and three cottages – there's more than enough space for large groups, whether you're exploring the gardens or splashing about in the pool. Two of the cottages are on a single level for guests with reduced mobility, and while the decor may be a little dated, it's certainly grandiose. The nearby town of Forio and its beach are both walkable – you might want a car to explore the rest of Ischia island, though.

This stunning home is situated between the sea and the woods, in a tranquil spot on the island of Ischia. Drink in sea views and vistas of San Francesco Bay, Forio, and Ventotene from the sun loungers, the alfresco dining area, and the other pretty corners of the garden. There’s a Jacuzzi with sea views on the upper terrace, and a path leads directly to the sea. The villa is cheerful and pretty, with splashes of blue bringing the sea inside.

Housed in a residential building, this sleek room offers a convenient hotel alternative for solo travellers or couples, equipped with everything needed for a fuss-free stay. Location-wise, you're in the heart of Sorrento, just a short walk from the beach. You'll also be within easy reach of the port, with restaurants and bars on your doorstep – handy, as this pad doesn't come with a kitchen. The interiors are a little basic for our liking, but it's modern and there's a dedicated workspace. Plus, the freestanding tub is the perfect place to relax after busy days spent travelling.

In the sun-soaked village of Positano, this studio apartment is a peaceful idyll within walking distance of the lively shores of Positano Beach. Inside, it’s all crisp white and cobalt blue. Unwind on the loveseat with a cappuccino, basking in a salty breeze that drifts through the Juliet balcony doors. Put together a Caprese salad at the kitchenette then tuck in at the dining table. When you’re ready to explore, slather on your sunscreen and take a gentle stroll through the pastel-hued streets. 

Pick up trinkets in artisanal shops or laze in a seaside cafe. If your itinerary allows for it, take a trip over to charming Montepertuso and embark on one of many hiking routes. Return home in the early evening to watch dusk fall over the shambling rooftops with a tot of limoncello in hand. And when it’s time to get some sleep, the comfortable double bed tempts an early night.

This Italian villa grabbed our attention for its front-row location on the Amalfi coast. You can enjoy spectacular sea views from the garden, balconies, and terraces, and you also have direct access to a private beach. Your host can provide breakfast to begin the day at a leisurely pace, and if you’re travelling with children, babysitter recommendations are available. There are lots of stairs to climb here, including a spiral staircase in the home, steep steps in the terraced garden, and steps to the private beach, so it won’t suit everyone. Location-wise, you’re in the pretty village of Conca dei Marini with many picturesque coastal towns, including popular Amalfi, within easy driving distance.

Dating back to the early 1900s, you can see the turn-of-the-century architecture in the stone steps between terraces and wooden-shuttered windows. It’s a veritable playground for those that seek relaxation in the terraced gardens, where succulents fill the perfectly positioned flower beds. Spend days floating in the sleek, modern swimming pool with its integrated Jacuzzi. Lunch can be taken at the round table on the lower terrace, while dinner can be set up on the upper terrace at the more formal spot. Sun loungers are shaded by parasols and there are two hanging egg chairs for reading in the sun. From here, you can catch a glimpse of the sea with the Pontine islands floating in the deep blue.

Inside, it’s an ode to grandeur as rooms are filled with gallery-worthy sculptures and striking paintings. Art deco chandeliers in the luxe living room hark back to the villa’s origins and you can take in that sea view from the comfort of plush sofas. Parquet flooring intersects with the original salvaged mosaic. We love the light-filled kitchen with its green splashes of trailing botanica. Or, perhaps, the original vaulted ceiling in the basement bedroom with its baby grand piano in the corner. 

Location-wise, you’re in the coastal town of Circeo where a long stretch of beach is just a short walk away. In the other direction, the ancient, walled centre of town awaits with a handful of local trattoria in the shambling streets.

With impressive views across Napoli bay, this apartment makes it easy to experience the charm of Sorrento. You can sit back and relax on the private terrace and there’s plenty of space inside to socialise and stretch out. It’s worth noting some of the furnishings are a little dated, but it’s a great option for families and groups in search of simplicity and ease in a fantastic location. Outside, you can stroll to restaurants, cafes and shops. It’s also a great base for exploring nearby Pompeii and the Amalfi coast.

When you think of Positano, you imagine the incredible views. You may have seen the Instagram posts about everyone trying to find the perfect view for sunset. Well, they're wasting their time – the best view in the city comes from the gorgeous terrace of your villa. But unlike the other popular spots, this view is reserved solely for you. 

Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee on the dining table or lounging on the sun beds, you're perfectly placed to admire the colourful houses and blue stretch of the sea. Of course, the best views are when the orange hues of sunset blend into the deep blue shades of the water. 

If you wander inside the villa, you'll find whitewashed tones and a neutral colour palette. Splashes of bright art is dotted around the villa, lacing the interior with a cheery, upbeat vibe.

When you fancy stretching your legs, you're only three minutes away from the beach. Small and cosy, it's an idyllic spot to lay your towel and catch some gentle rays of the sun. 

Please do note - to access the villa it is necessary to climb approximately 80 steps, however for a home like this it's certainly worth it.

The terrace is a beautiful spot for alfresco dining, and you’ll have a private chef to whip up the freshest pasta. Inside, the inviting villa blends Italian charm and refined design.

In the heart of the sleepy fishing village of Praiano, in a restored ancient villa, home apartment beckons you to discover another side to the spectacular Amalfi Coast.

Charming 17th century arches and columns frame a picture-perfect view of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Brew a fresh pot of coffee and head to the balcony to catch a sunrise – believe us when we say it's worth the early start. 

After a leisurely morning, head off to explore the town. A less beaten path than its neighbouring town of Positano, this is the place to be if you're looking for authentic Italian appeal. If you're seeking out some of the Amalfi Coast's best nature spots, make sure you add a hike on the 'Path of the Gods' to your itinerary, considered by many to be the best hiking trail in the area thanks to sweeping mountain views of the Mediterranean.

After a day of exploring, head home to relax in the outdoor hot tub, before indulging in a laid-back dinner cooked on the barbecue. 

Picture of Praiano 

With stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, this studio-style apartment has a wonderful setting. We love the private terrace here – it’s the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. The interiors have a minimalist design, and the bathroom is modern and sleek with a walk-in chromotherapy rain shower and a bathtub. Set in San Montano, you’ll find a variety of shops and trattorias nearby, while Puolo Bay, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and picturesque coastline, is just under 3 kilometres away. Other attractions within an easy drive include the historic town of Sorrento, just over 5 kilometres from this home.

Mediterranean View

With breathtaking views across the Gulf of Positano, this home is ideally placed for an idyllic coastal escape. Days can be spent exploring the Amalfi coast, with both Positano and Sorrento just a fifteen-minute drive away. The nearest amenities are within walking distance and your host can help organise private transfers along with a range of experiences. By sun set, you’ll want to be relaxing on the private terrace with drinks in hand. A private chef is available on request along with daily housekeeping.

Enjoy a serene stay at this small but perfectly formed home, located in the heart of Positano, close to many fabulous restaurants and bars that make this coastal village so sought-after with travellers. This home’s crown jewel is in its marvellous large terrace, providing a stunning view out across the ocean, as well as plenty of places to relax in the sun and the shade – the swinging egg chair makes for a great place to sit with a good book, while the covered lounge area is fantastic for having a drink together and watching the sunset. There’s also sun loungers so you can work on your tan.

Inside, you’ll find a gorgeous blue and white colour scheme throughout to remind you of the sea, as well as little decor touches that make it feel like home. We love the country kitchen style dining table, ideal for feasting on tasty salads and pasta dishes – and the sofa and TV provide a nice place to chill out when you need a break from the sunshine.

Ready to venture out? You’ll find plenty to do right on your doorstep – you can enjoy wandering along idyllic winding paths and discovering quaint cafes and vibrant drinking spots – plus the metro station is just a stone’s throw away so you can travel beyond with ease if you choose to.


Blue Roses

Now, this is what we call a view. Perched above the Gulf of Salerno, this villa offers breathtaking scenery everywhere you look. Our favourite spot is the terrace, where a glass of wine complements the panoramas perfectly. There's also a private Jacuzzi that makes soaking under the stars a real treat. The interior design is simple but chic, though the main bedroom doesn't feel particularly private. And, while the kitchen is on the smaller side, you'll only be a five-minute walk from the eateries in Amalfi. That's pretty hard to beat.

This home boasts truly breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast. It’s a short drive from Sorrento, with a path that leads directly from the villa to the village of Sant’Elia, through a beautiful valley. You’ll have everything you might need for a relaxing stay here, with a hot tub, private outdoor heated pool, and an alfresco dining space – your host can arrange for a chef to prepare Italian feasts. There’s also exercise equipment, should you fancy a work out – I think we'd prefer to unwind on a sun lounger, though. 

Sunkissed Sorrento

With bedrooms overlooking Belvedere, this central apartment is only 100m from Duomo di Ravello and Villa Rufolo. Close enough to sights, bars and restaurants, it's made for those wanting to soak up all Italy has to offer. Though looking at the terrace, it's also made for sun worshippers. Dine alfresco and hot tub in a Mediterranean summer haze with a view of the Gardens of the Princess of Piedmont. Because of how traditional the home is, the rustic decor might not be to everyone's taste, but it is comfortable.

The Rose of Ravello

For a couple on a romantic getaway, this charming apartment offers a dream love nest, with sweeping views over the magnificent scenery of the Amalfi Coast. While it is located in the heart of Praiano, it also benefits from being removed from the hustle and bustle, giving you a chance to relax and enjoy peace and tranquillity, away from the tourist trails. 

Come back after a day of exploring and unwind in the luxurious hot tub out on the large terrace. From here, you’ll be able to admire the sea and mountains before you, and as the sun begins to set, it truly is a magnificent spot to be. Share romantic meals and delectable Italian wine at the outdoor table and fire up the barbecue for a real alfresco feast.
 
Back inside, you’ll find a bright and elegant living room, with gorgeous Mediterranean details and a comfy sofa, ideal for snuggly evenings of movies. There’s also a dining area for enjoying indoor meals or catching up on any laptop duties you may have outstanding. The well-equipped kitchen may be compact but it’s perfect for rustling quick and delicious snacks. 

For a night of restful sleep and sweet dreams head over to the bedroom, where you’ll wake feeling reinvigorated and ready for another day of coastal adventures. 

Outside your pad, you'll be a short walk away from the many shops and restaurants, and the town's idyllic beaches are also within easy access. 

Path of the Gods 

Changing Table

Herb Garden

Nestled within a lemon orchard, this stunning villa is practically hanging off the side of the Amalfi Coast. On the villa’s stepped terraces, the citrus scent of fresh lemons combines with sea salt as you enjoy uninterrupted views over the azure Tyrrhenian Sea. Walkways shaded by twisting grapevines, magenta bougainvillaea and wisteria bursting in purple clouds give way to panoramic views. You’ll find endless secluded spots for dining outdoors, or lounging in the sun. Inside, we were really taken by the hand-painted tiles in every room, bursting with blues, yellows and greens, and the hand-painted details like the decal in the shower, that feel distinctly Amalfi. Rather than facing the TV, the living room’s sofa points directly at the French windows and that incredible sea view and both main bedrooms have their own French windows for a view all to yourself. From the villa, it’s a short walk to the beach at the bottom of Maiori. Here, you can join the coastal walking path that links all the quintessentially Amalfi Coast villages. Or, head out in the car to the town of Amalfi, a fifteen-minute drive away.  

Citrus & Sea Salt

This stunning villa is located in the heart of Capri, just a short walk from the famous Capri Piazzetta. The villa boasts panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples, Sorrento, and Punta Campanella. The grand terrace features quintessentially Caprese columns, olive trees, and a remarkable spot for lounging and alfresco dining – we spent all of our time outside. There’s even a petite outdoor kitchen. Inside, there’s a huge amount of space – the three suites each have a separate lounge area, which makes this a great choice for couples and families seeking a touch more privacy while still travelling as a group. 

Capri by the Sea

Peering over the Amalfi Coast, this postcard-worthy villa is the perfect Positano escape. With three terraces to choose from, you’ll start your day deliberating where to take breakfast – will it be at the bistro set under the magenta sprays of bougainvillaea or perhaps you’ll dine in the shade by the abundant lemon tree? Afternoons are for doing very little – lazing on a lounger with an ice-cold drink in hand, watching the boats bob on the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea. 

Inside, there’s a minimalist yet lively approach to the living space. Yellow patterned tiles are a counterpoint to the pristine white walls and we loved the homely feel of the antique cherry wood furniture. The bedrooms are comfortable and cheery and the brightly coloured bathrooms are sure to put a pep in your step in the mornings. 

When you’re ready to explore, Positano Beach is just a short walk from your doorstep and you’re within touching distance of restaurants, bars and independent shops. After a slap-up seafood dinner by the water, return to your abode to watch the sky swirl in pinks and purples as you sip an Aperol spritz.

Amalfi Postcard

Perched on the rugged clifftops overlooking the Amalfi coast, this home invites you to experience total serenity whilst enjoying the delights of Italian living. 

Consisting of two apartments (each with its own entrance), you’ll find a warm welcome along with ample space for relaxing and sharing quality time together. From the first apartment, enjoy the magic of two terraces – perfect for watching the sunrise with a quiet morning coffee or later with golden hour drinks. 

Follow the views outside and down to the second apartment, where you’ll find an abundant garden inviting you to enjoy rejuvenating dips in the small heated pool, and heavenly afternoons gazing at the views from a sun lounger. Both apartments feature fully equipped kitchens and air-conditioned rooms – setting the tone for a bright and breezy stay by the Mediterranean sea. 

From here, it’s just a short walk to Colli di Fontanelle where you’ll find a small square with a market, gelato shop and bar. And for explorations further afield, the majestic streets of Sorrento and Positano are just a short drive away, while the coast is peppered with tiny beaches and coves. 

Sea Rhythm 

There's something rather magical about the view from this apartment nestled within a private park in Positano – ruggedly beautiful cliffsides peppered with dwellings part to reveal a burst of gloriously blue Tyrrhenian Sea and the uninterrupted skyline beyond. It makes for a charming backdrop while you soak up the sunshine or enjoy alfresco meals on the terrace.

Although the apartment itself lies on the smaller side of things, we're quite fond of the bright and contemporary design, particularly the sleek white galley kitchen and the fetching patterned tiling underfoot in the bedrooms. It's a home that's been owned by the same family for more than three decades, but you can certainly tell that it's received plenty of attention in recent years.

The local town of Positano itself isn't large, so most of the attractions are easily reachable on foot, including the golden sands of Spiaggia Grande Positano only 400 metres from the front door. In the wider area, those fond of a hike will appreciate the hilly terrain and walking routes found throughout the Amalfi Coast.
