Magnificent Sant’Agata Sui Due Golfi villa with a private pool, garden, sun-kissed terraces and sensational views across the sparkling Gulf of Salerno

Impeccable interiors, sleek terraces that wrap around a gorgeous pool and dazzling views are just some of the features that single out this villa for 14 on the Sorrento peninsula. Its location, however, just 1km from the charming town of Sant’Agata sui due Golfi is another major plus point. Shops, restaurants and beaches are all within easy reach, as is the town of Sorrento, a major transport hub for the entire region.

Occupying a massive 450m² and designed to make the most of its panoramic position, the villa extends over 4 floors, each with its own well-proportioned terrace that overlooks the extensive grounds and the ocean below. In between lie the verdant hillsides that slip down to the sea, carpeted with vineyards and splashed with dazzling bougainvillea.

The villa’s layout is perfect for a large or multi-generational group: with 2 airy living rooms and kitchens, there’s ample space for everyone to mingle comfortably, and the 7 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms provide everyone with a private oasis in which to unwind. The villa also has an independently accessed dependence which is ideal for anyone seeking additional privacy.

Days at Villa Hermes revolve around the infinity pool on the ground floor, surrounded by a stunning decked area with sun beds flanked by two other terraces, one accessed directly from the villa. Both main terraces on the main pool level are furnished with elegant lounge seating. To the side of one of the terraces is a fabulous outdoor kitchen with a retractable roof, which can be enclosed during cooler periods. Here, alongside dining tables, there are two azure blue tiled kitchen units featuring several sinks, a hob and magnificent pizza oven. Quite apart from being an idyllic location for relaxed informal dinners, it’s the ultimate scenic spot for a private chef prepared dinner or a pizza cooking class.

A similarly impressive terrace on the first floor is luxuriously furnished with sofas and armchairs clustered around a rug. Another huge terrace on the second floor, with a dining table and chairs, sweeps right around the villa.

In fact, the entire exterior of the villa comprises a series of terraces, all with striking sea views. In addition to the main terraces, there are several grassy sea-facing lawns, including one with cafe style tables and chairs.

Plus, for golf enthusiasts, there’s the chance to brush up on golfing skills on the private putting green – hardly something you’ll find at many villas in this part of the world!

The putting green is just one of the outdoor elements that makes this villa so completely unique. It also has a football field and for toddlers and young children in the group, there’s a wonderful play area, with a slide, swings, trampoline and other play items on a lawned terrace. All of these features together adds up to creating the ultimate large group multi-gen villa, one that offers endless possibilities to be together while at the same time indulging in a little ‘me’ time in your own private space.

Villa Hermes’ interiors are equally inviting, providing an abundance of space for living, relaxing and cooking. Well-proportioned rooms are generously furnished in a contemporary style and thoughtfully designed to offer maximum comfort, while each bathroom is quite individual but consistently stylish.

There are two main living spaces. On the ground floor, the open plan living room is illuminated by a wall of floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that lead out to the main terrace and pool. At one end of the room, the large lounge area is furnished with several sofas and armchairs. At the other end is a sleek kitchen island, including a 5-burner hob and, alongside the window, a slim glass dining table.

On the second floor, the second open plan living area comprises a professional style kitchen which is ideal for catering for large groups, with a double American style fridge. Beyond the kitchen, the huge room comprises two separate lounge seating spaces and a dining area, all elegantly furnished and filled with contemporary art works. The living room has double doors out to the terrace.
