Villa Cantone

Just like a precious gem embedded in stone, this property is a luxurious spot in a tiny village on the Sorrento Coast, a true retreat for those who love to be private yet very close to all the sights on the most famous coast in the world. Precious materials, solarium, a wooden pizza oven and a Jacuzzi pool on the upper terrace are just some of the features of this fantastic property, with prestigious furnishings and just a stone-throw from the fantastic beaches of Marina del Cantone, and close to Positano and Amalfi. The most tasteful of furnishings and materials have been chosen and mixed together, the result is a balanced, elegant family property. All ceramics are handmade and custom, while the illumination chosen really makes a difference after sunset.

The villa is built on three levels, enjoying one of the most terrific views along the coast: its terraces overlook the entire bay of Nerano. There you can admire a panorama running from Salerno to Capri. On the ground floor, there is a large hall that opens onto two living-rooms and a beautiful dining room, whilst the upper floors contain the bedrooms and panoramic terrace with solarium and whirlpool with infinity edge. The terrace boasts a unique view of the sea, one of the best of the entire coast. We recommend this property to families and travellers who love the buzz yet want to go back home to a safe and private place in the evening, as well as to all who love great food – the famous Spaghetti alla Nerano, a symphony of zucchini, herbs and grana Padano is the typical dish here. This little bay hosts the Taverna del Capitano, a Michelin one star restaurant. And just a short walk up the hill is the two star Michelin restaurant, quatro Passi.

The villa comes with a fantastic boat rentable at extra cost. The boat is 11 metres long and 3.8 metres wide with a sunbathing area of around 16 square metres, has a maximum speed of 33 knots and can take up to 15 people: travelling Sorrento, Capri and Amalfi Coast by boat really makes a difference during the summer, when roads are very crowded and off-the-beaten-path bays are the best place to be during the day.

Nerano and Marina del Cantone are the right destinations for lovers of the sea as well as the mountains, where it is possible to enjoy pleasant excursions and trekking trips.The beach, made of small pebbles, has several private beach concessions and many good restaurants, which are famous for their typical regional dishes based on seafood as well as other local products. The villa is about 1 km to the beach of Marina del Cantone, there you will find also a couple of shops and dock to jump on a boat to run for a daily excursions along the coast or toward Capri and Ischia. The stop for SITA bus Sorrento - Massa Lubrense - Nerano line is at 500 meters.

All bedrooms are provided with ensuite bathrooms, A/C, minibar, and hairdryers.

The Sorrento Coast

The Sorrento Coast is a rugged promontory on the southern end of the Bay of Naples, boasting a mild climate, stunning landscapes and a magical scent of lemons and the sea. The peninsula features a unique landscape with low and high hills, deep valleys and majestic mountains, where man’s labor to level even the most impervious areas and transforming them into the famous terraces leading towards the sea, has been grandiose. Composed by bays, sandy sunbathing spots, ancient rocks and terraced gardens of lemons–this is where the world famous Limoncello is produced, oranges, olives and grapes. Mount Vesuvius, the bay to Naples and Capri are all in sight from this area. While being in Positano means having to face thousands of people wandering hypnotised in search of some shadow, or a table, being on this part of the coast means being able to visit the Amalfi Coast and the islands without having to panic: everything is at short distance, beaches are reasonably busy and villas are accessible without having to climb hundreds of stairs: a better deal for families with small children and the mobility impaired. The line of beach clubs and restaurants on Marina del Cantone, the beach area of Nerano, is simply to die for: each restaurant offers fantastic food and wine, although Marinella is the most traditional and probably the best for an everyday meal, and some of the restaurants turn into clubs in the evening. Massa Lubrense is a holiday resort covering a large area with 18 beautiful villages, each one offering different and unique landscapes.
