About The Experience

Get a royal experience at this historic villa, originally a 17th century home for a powerful, aristocratic family. With multiple terraces and balconies, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to keep watch over your kingdom, or just the lovely views, while having an al fresco meal, taking a dip in the private pool, or even taking an invigorating outdoor shower. This villa is well-situated for exploring Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, and it ideal for a large family or two, or a large group of friends.

Location Description

This villa is located on a hill in the small village of Schiazzano, which has two restaurants and a few shops and overlooks the Sorrento Coast. A trattoria serving typical local dishes is within walking distance, and the town of Massa Lubrense is two kilometers away, where you will find more restaurants, shops, markets, and places to buy olive oil. There are also excellent pizzerias, mini-markets, and a discotheque. A short drive away, there’s the lovely seaside town of Sorrento, which is famous for its limoncello (an alcoholic aperitif) and inlaid wood – you can visit one of the workshops still in operation today to see this centuries-old craft in action. Other Sorrento attractions include the 10th century Basilica di San Antonio, which was built to honor the patron saint of navigators and still attracts sailors’ offerings to this day. The 11th century Cathedral houses frescoes and a bell tower with a ceramic clock. The "Sorrento Summer of Music" is also held at the cloisters from July to September, and features international musicians performing alongside of emerging talents. The towns of the Amalfi coast like Positano and the island of Capri make good day trips.
