You will likely arrive to the area by rental car, and will therefore be aware of the narrow roads along the coast – the driveway of this villa is no exception! Once you’ve navigated the entryway through a private security gate, there is a covered parking space at the end for one car, and room for 2 others in the tree-lined driveway. From the parking area there are 19 steps up to the main floor of the villa. The property consists of various levels of living space and terraces, so be prepared for a lively vacation! From every angle of the property you can admire the Lattari mountains, verdant with cultivations of lemons, which steeply plunge into the sea and enclose the narrow valleys of the villages of Minori and Maiori, the picturesque inlet of the coast, visible up to Capo d’Orso, and last but not least, the wide and splendid view of the Mediterranean sea. The terraces are filled with flowers, some of which are sun-drenched and others shaded by pergolas, trees or awnings. The pool (open May 1 - October 30) is situated on top of the villa and the five different levels of large terraces and gardens face the sun and the sea.
