VILLA DOLCE VITA

VILLA DOLCE VITA - NERANO

7 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Located near the centre of Marina del Cantone, this elegant seven-bedroom villa is the perfect getaway for a relaxing break on one of the most famous stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean. With a spectacular cliff-top setting facing the imposing Mount Vesuvius across the glittering Bay of Naples, it is no wonder the Amalfi Coast is a must-visit destination on everyone’s bucket list. The ancient centre of Sorrento is laid out on a Roman grid of narrow lanes, now lined with restaurants and shops selling lemon-themed souvenirs.

But away from the well-worn paths are little-explored nooks and crannies. The vaulted Sedile Dominova, once a meeting space for aristocracy, is now a working-men’s club where old-timers while away afternoons playing cards. Then there are traditional greengrocers and haberdashers huddled behind wooden shop fronts, the medieval palaces along Via Pietà, the magnificent courtyard of Palazzo Correale, and artisan workshops producing the same wood intarsia for which the town became famous in the 18th century.

If Sorrento becomes too crowded, the laid-back town of Vico Equense, perched on a sheer tufa cliff just along the coast, makes an attractive base. Beachgoers tend to head for the small pockets of sand tucked into coves at Marina di Vico and Marina d'Aequa, walkers tackle the old footpath to Positano, clinging to the cliffs along the Amalfi coastline, and culture enthusiasts hop on the Circumvesuviana train to explore the ancient sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius.

The sight of Positano from a distance is breathtaking. Colour is everywhere, reflecting on the tranquil sea, the silvery pebbled beach, and the gleaming majolica-domed church of Santa Maria Assunta. The houses, built up from the waterside and accessible to one another via an endless array of steep stairs, boast pale sorbet colours. In summer, when the serried ranks of sunbeds fill up quickly, take a boat to explore the many small coves along the coast.

There’s a lot to be said for leaving the best until last, and for many, Ravello is the jewel in the coastal crown. If Positano is the glamour-puss of the Amalfi Coast, Ravello is its refined, aristocratic cousin. Nestled high on a hill above the sea, Ravello is famous for its secluded villas, ravishing gardens, magnificent views, and a romantic sense of faded glory that has inspired a steady stream of writers, artists, and musicians since the days of the Grand Tour.

Villa Dolce Vita is 66 km from Naples Capodichino International Airport and 294 km from Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. Sorrento is 15 km from the villa, Positano is 25 km, Vico Equense is 25 km, Amalfi is 37 km, Pompeii is 40 km, Ravello is 50 km, Herculaneum is 56 km, and Naples is 62 km. The villa is less than 1.5 km from the centre of Marina del Cantone, where all the necessary services can be easily found.
