Exterior Description

(600 m2) This villa overlooks the beautiful stretch of coastline as far as the Capo d'Orso and the bay of Salerno, including a wide view of the sea and the most picturesque angle of Amalfi, photographed and printed on every postcard! Built on several levels, the original structure dates back to the 12th century, and additions were made in the 16th and 18th centuries. Though it has been completely renovated on the inside, you can still see original vaulted ceilings. The exterior has been beautifully restored, featuring several outdoor terraces. After climbing 110 steps up from the parking area, you reach the ground level terrace, which is a grassy area with tables and chairs. Another flight of exterior stairs leads to the second grassy terrace, which is partially shaded. This area has a lovely outdoor shower in one of the arched alcoves along the stone retaining wall, where water spills out like a waterfall. There is also a private swimming pool (6m x 8m) with a sun deck with loungers, a couch, and chairs. Another flight of stairs takes you finally up to the rooftop, where a sun terrace has amazing views over the entire coastal area and the sea. A gate to this terrace can be closed for extra privacy, as there is another outdoor shower here. Parking for three cars is reserved in a small lot at street level.
