Built in 1881, this neoclassical villa is a real gem. Furnished with antiques and artworks, the home retains many of its original features, including elaborate murals and ornate ceilings. It’s characterful yet comfortable, with everything you need for a happy holiday, including a well-equipped kitchen and cosy en-suite bedrooms. We also love the large swimming pool (for a cooling dip beneath the Mediterranean sun) and the roof terrace (with jacuzzi), which offers breathtaking sunrise and sunset views over the sea. This unique villa is also in a fabulous location, within easy reach of vibrant Sorrento and pretty Positano, and a brilliant base for adventures along the Amalfi Coast.
