Epitome of Southern Italian Chic for Unashamed Hedonism
"Silver service breakfast in my room and a gourmet picnic planned on a yacht already moored at the home’s secluded landing point." - Reviewed by Lisa
Stunning, drop-dead gorgeous, glorious, enchanting, glamorous… just a few of the adjectives I used to describe my stay here.
The stars were aligned when I met this clifftop property – I wanted somewhere in the centre of Sorrento, I wanted to hear the ocean through my open window at night. I was road weary and needed a nice long soak in a big tub, I wanted above all peace and quiet. Oh! and of course a couple of perfectly chilled glasses of something bubbly.
Life on the road of luxury property inspection is not always easy and sometimes we are disappointed and long to find the absolutely perfect home… well here it is!
The large expanse of entryway gardens sets the tone with a glorious mix of tropical, Mediterranean and classic European vegetation. Inside, the décor brings to mind an elegance and glamour once enjoyed by movie stars and the glitterati but now here to be relished again with a modern-day remodel. This luxury Sorrento villa is a treat by any standards

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
All bedrooms are exceptionally generous in size and go to prove that white on white with splashes of vibrant color is very glamourous and fresh at the same time. The fun tones introduced into each suite reflect the hues of the ocean, plants, flowers and/or vegetation outside – all with a lovely modern luxury twist.
The master offers magnificent accommodation with an oversized patio fit for a superb party as well as an additional private balcony that makes the ideal locale for a dinner a deux.
Bedroom 5 also has an oversized marble floored patio with lovely garden views offering a fantastic space for living, dining and even a small get-together.
Either garden or sea view does not disappoint, but the views across the harbor over to Mt Vesuvius and the islands beyond is quite spectacular and something to gaze at, take photos of and write dreamy southern Italian postcards about.

Living Areas
The entry to the property through lush gardens, behind a high secure wall to the elegant entry way is made to be savored. Upon arrival there is no denying you have entered a special place. This feeling is more than reflected in the high ceilinged, sophisticated living area with its stylish grey and white marble floor and floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening to the expansive, tasteful terrace and magnificent sea vistas.
Indoor or outdoor, smart sofas are available for lounging, reading, TV watching or simply doing nothing.
The garden level reveals an immaculate farmhouse style kitchen complete with gleaming copper pots, a refectory table and a “just-like-mama-used-to-make” ambience.
A large garden room with seating for events or private dining is a cheery place to welcome friends for meals, gatherings or candlelit dinners. All open to yet more patios and the lush gardens.
Glorious Gardens
The large expanse of entryway gardens sets the tone with a glorious mix of tropical, Mediterranean and classic European vegetation.
The wonderful microclimate of the Sorrento coast mixed with the fertile grounds of the Vesuvius planes creates the ideal growing environment for everything from palms to yuccas to English roses.
Wander the grounds, find a secluded spot to sit with a book, or plan the party of your dreams. What bride or special occasion hostess would not want an event suffused with the scent of lemon trees, under the stars by candlelight with the twinkling lights of the Bay of Naples as her backdrop?
A large garden and patio run along the side of the house with spectacular clifftop frontage. The Mediterranean below, the fairytale villa to your left and the expertise of the family whose home you are enjoying at your disposal.
