The old residence tower over the mountainside overlooking Conca dei Marini, a bay with high cliffs that loom over a bright blue sea. We are in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1997. Surrounded by 12,000 square metres of land, you feel the charm of this original residence from the moment you step foot over the threshold. The structure remains intact due to a thoughtful and respectful renovation, which has preserved its layout, dimensions, and features. From an architectural perspective, the tower, combined with the residence’s location on a rocky incline, offer guests some truly extraordinary views, with windows that frame incredible views and bathe the rooms in bright, cool light. On the ground floor, the living room and kitchen area, mirroring the villa's overall aesthetic, adopt a minimalist style that radiates warmth and hospitality. The kitchen, equipped with all essentials, includes a breakfast table, while the living room offers a dining area accommodating up to four seats and a cozy sitting area. Descend 59 steps from the villa to reach the charming outdoor living room, nestled beneath a chestnut-wood pergola, where the evening air carries the fragrant aroma of shrubs reminiscent of Indian incense. Adjacent to this space is a kitchen, perfect for serving meals al fresco. Down on one of the terraces, accessible via 99 steps from the outdoor living room, you'll discover a plunge pool seamlessly merging with the azure hue of the sea. After descending the path, which includes an additional 161 steps from the pool area, you'll arrive at a private sundeck—a rare west-facing sanctuary bathed in sunlight until dusk. Furnished with two shades, two sunbeds, and two lounge chairs, it offers an ideal spot for relaxation. Access to the water is provided via a step ladder.
