Accommodation
Quite apart from being a high standard property, we are delighted to have secured it because, most unusually for this area, it has a swimming pool - very few are given planning permission; The villa itself is no slouch either! Not overlooked, it is peacefully private and decorated to a high standard. A gorgeously cool portico encircles two sides and the first floor is reached via a doorway from here. Given the lay-out of this villa, it would be ideal for two families who require a certain level of privacy.There is a WWF protected pine forest near the villa, great for cool relaxing walks or shaded jogging for the more energetic.

The Gulf of Naples starts with the Isle of Ischia, past the naturally beautiful city setting of Naples, through to the Sorrento peninsula and the Isle of Capri. The Riviera continues past Capri into the Gulf of Salerno with the Amalfi coast offering up such wildly picturesque towns as Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. The islands off this stretch of dramatic coastline have been a holiday destination since roman times as much for their dramatic scenery as for their restorative qualities. When you see Capri, you can understand why the Emperors Augustus and Tiberius spend so much time there - superb views, luxuriant gardens, high cliffs and deep coves are but a few of the many attractions. And the unspoilt hill villages on the Isle of Ischia will amaze with their wild flowers, pinewoods, vineyards and chestnut trees edged by the rugged coastline and secluded sandy beaches. Pompeii is a must - for you can see so many reminders of the Roman way of life. If you brave the ascent to Mount Vesuvious, you will fid an extraordinary landscape of orchards, oak and chestnut trees. Perched high on a cliff, Sorrento’s impressive setting is classically precarious, and offers superb views over the Gulf of Naples. As in this entire stretch of coastline, Mount Vesuvious has a majestic, dominating presence, contrasting its natural forces with the lively street life below. Sorrento has a wonderful array of tiny shops, offering locally made lace, marquetry and Capodimonte porcelain, as well as countless cafes, bars and restaurants in which to relax and soak up the atmosphere of this vibrant Mediterranean resort. The jewels in the crown of the Amalfi coast are the little towns adorning its shores. Amalfi itself has a strikingly beautiful setting, low in a valley between great jagged cliffs, its variously coloured buildings between vine terraces seem to hang from the Cliffside, creating a jewel-like vista, particularly when seen from the sea. Higher up the mountain is Ravello - for the best views of the rugged coastline. Visit the Palazzo Rufolo - an 11th century Moorish style villa. And Positano is positively ’a dream place’ in the words o
