Enchanting Dream Villa With Pool On The Amalfi Coast

On the Amalfi Coast, in a secluded spot almost hidden amongst the historic agricultural terraces of Maiori’s eastern coastline, this 150-sqm villa is the result of the complete restoration of an old traditional stone farmhouse built on dry-stone walls, still surrounded today by lemon groves, vineyards and Mediterranean scrub. The property presents itself as a pure white volume suspended between the rock and the horizon of the Gulf of Salerno: the black window frames punctuate the façades, transforming every opening into a picture-postcard view. A private parking space with direct driveway access from the coastal road, an absolute rarity in this setting, and a private terraced garden of approximately 3,000 sqm complete this unique property. 

The living room is a double-height space, bright and austere in its simplicity, enlivened by the choice of striking decorative design elements. The stainless steel kitchenette blends naturally into the living area, flanked by a round white table that complements the space’s minimalist aesthetic. A cantilevered staircase leads to the mezzanine, which can be configured as a relaxation area or as an additional sleeping area with two single beds. The sea-facing windows provide abundant natural light throughout the space. 

The master bedroom, with a low white vaulted ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the greenery of the rear garden, features a natural wood four-poster bed. The full-wall desk optimises the space, offering a comfortable and functional area for work, study or reading. The second bedroom is furnished with a white upholstered bed and a minimalist black bedside table: a cosy and intimate space, sheltered by the vaulted ceiling and overlooking the surrounding greenery. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. 

The heart of outdoor living is the bespoke white steel island kitchen, situated on a terrace clad in blue and white stripes and sheltered by a light white iron pergola with a glass roof. From here, the view over the Gulf of Salerno unfolds uninterrupted, with the cliffs, cultivated terraces and the sea changing colour as the day progresses. A woven wooden balustrade separates the terrace, the property’s de facto living room, from the cliffs and the open sea.

The oval swimming pool, situated on a wooden decking terrace one level below the main villa, looks directly out to sea: a space of absolute privacy, with Mediterranean vegetation screening every view to the outside and the gulf filling the entire horizon. The terraced garden, covering approximately 3,000 sqm, is laid out over several levels with white iron pergolas, shaded areas, fruit trees, lemon and orange trees, vines and Mediterranean scrub flowers, set within a system of historic terraces that have been fully renovated and are private.

The detached annex, with a bedroom, bathroom and private outdoor area, completes the property with a self-contained unit ideal for guests or to provide a separate area from the main body of the villa.
