Once the residence of the noble d'Avalos family, this 18th-century villa close to the tip of the Amalfi Coast still retains an air of grandeur. Some of this is down to the stately proportions of the large rooms and the archways that connect them up, although the refined interior design also plays a pretty pivotal role – we defy anybody not to be instantly won over by the antique furnishings, ornate chandeliers and smart tiling throughout. The outside space is just as swoon-worthy. Not only are there remarkable views of the Gulf of Naples and the islands bobbing about in this blanket of azure to be had from the balcony, but there are plenty of ways to pass hot afternoons. The swimming pool will be a welcome sight when the temperature starts to climb and the verdant garden also has lots of shady spots in among the Mediterranean vegetation. There's also a rather chic glass-roofed verandah on which to dine alfresco, too. When it comes to seeing a little more of this famously picturesque corner of Italy, the centre of Massa Lubrense is only 200 metres away and offers bars, restaurants and shops. The nearest beach is only a kilometre away, plus... the historic streets of Sorrento are eight kilometres away.
