Historic 18th-century Villa With Pool, Turret, And View Of Capri

Located on the Sorrento Peninsula, in a secluded setting surrounded by greenery, this historical villa, built in 1767, retains its 18th-century architecture intact, in keeping with the building traditions of Campania: cross vaults in the main halls, plastered tuff walls, arched windows with piperno stone sills, and the characteristic watchtower rising above the main building. The property, covering approximately 500 sqm across three levels, is surrounded by a terraced park of 2,650 sqm featuring a lawn, citrus grove and swimming pool, and enjoys stunning views of the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida.

The main body of the villa is spread over three levels connected by internal staircases and a lift. The main floor houses the reception rooms: two large salons with cross vaults and historical majolica floors – including tiles by Giustiniani, Del Vecchio and Delle Donne, featuring colourful floral designs and geometric patterns that constitute a decorative heritage of rare integrity – and 18th-century terracotta floors, two dining rooms, one of which has direct access to the panoramic terrace, three fully equipped kitchens suitable for every level of use, and terraces furnished for al fresco dining and aperitifs, with a view that takes in the sea and the islands of the Gulf in a setting of extraordinary breadth.

The sleeping area comprises five bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms featuring tiled floors, marble walls and wood panelling, as well as two additional guest bathrooms located along the connecting corridors. The floors are connected by internal stone staircases.

The historical turret, a distinctive architectural feature and an extremely rare surviving example of 18th-century Sorrento architecture, adds immense scenic. The island of Capri appears very close by, the outline of Ischia marks the western horizon, and the hills of the Amalfi Coast are visible to the south-east.

The detached annexe, featuring a separate entrance, a bedroom and two bathrooms, is ideal as staff accommodation or a private guest suite. The spacious, high-ceilinged cellars in the basement complete the property’s interior. The outdoor area is laid out across several terraced levels featuring pergolas, a barbecue area and a swimming pool with a sun deck overlooking the citrus grove. The two entrances to the property, one of which is a driveway with parking spaces, ensure easy access, including for service vehicles.
