Starfish & Sunshine

Starfish & Sunshine: Campania

This wonderfully unique villa is as full of space as it is character. Nestled on the hillside between the gulfs of Naples and Salerno, you can enjoy the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast and Vesuvius nearby. Homely in the traditional Italian way, the soul of this villa lends itself to socialising with loved ones. The delightful Mediterranean-style garden boasts a large private pool for afternoons spent enjoying the sun. The most fabulous spot, however, is the outdoor kitchen. Barbecue, grill and even fire up the pizza oven for an alfresco lunch under the picturesque pergola. If you want some inspiration, you won't need to look far – located just a short stroll from this home are restaurants, bars, shops and a supermarket for some local produce to inspire your cooking.

Inside, this home has a beautifully rustic feel, and you’ll find sweeping dining tables, deep sofas and indoor plants bringing nature to you. With striking statement furniture pieces, you’ll find yourself wandering through this villa admiring your surroundings. As the sun sets in the evening and you recline on the terrace sipping a chilled wine, you’ll be gently reminded that you’re in the heart of Italy's beauty.
