Villa in Praiano

Villa Don Pietro

This spectacular villa on the Amalfi Coast is a short walk from the beach at Marina di Praia, and about nine kilometers from Positano. The multi-story home was built gracefully into the cliffs above the sea, with multiple balconies and terraces in the sun and shade, a lovely alfresco dining area, and an open-air plunge pool gazing out at the vast horizon. The interiors are comfortable and elegant, with stylish furnishings, high-end media features, and a gourmet kitchen. All five bedroom suites enjoy breathtaking sea views, ensuite bathrooms, and balcony access, offering ideal accommodations for families and groups of friends up to ten in size. Nestled amid lush gardens and trees, the villa’s ample terraces inspire long days and evenings in the Mediterranean breeze. Soothe your body in the plunge pool and bask in the sunlight on lovely lounge chairs. Returning from the beach in the afternoon, rinse in the alfresco shower and savor a siesta in the dappled shade of citrus trees. Relish home-cooked meals at the table for ten, and sip delicious wine in the outdoor lounge as the sunset transforms the sea and sky. Inside, the beautiful symphony of tones includes black-and-white floor tile, rich wood cabinetry, and a superb timber dining table extending from the kitchen island. The TV den offers a cozy retreat for afternoon downtime or late-night movies. Heating and air conditioning ensure comfort in all seasons. The bedrooms are located on the lower floor, each with a double bed, ensuite bathroom, deluxe linens, and access to the expansive balcony—a lovely spot for morning coffee or quiet relaxation. The rooms' luminous white surfaces, touches of sea-inspired color, and gorgeous stone thresholds harmonize with the sublime surroundings.

Villa in Sorrento

Villa Il Gioiello

A lively town known for its cafés, lemon trees, and history, Sorrento has been a must-see destination on grand European tours for generations. Naturally, when the Count de Mario Caracciolo, the last descendant of a prestigious Neapolitan family was seeking the perfect place to call home he chose this villa – known as “the jewel” or il gioiello, of Sorrento. Purchasing the home in 1970, the count filled the home with his collection of antiques and treasures. Set against a sleek white backdrop, his paintings, vases and sculptures add a historic and personal touch to the otherwise modern home. A lover of all things beautiful, he once said, “Having something unique is not a sin… but just a nice luxury to be granted!” The 450 square meter (4,845 sq. ft) home is designed over several levels, offering plenty of room for you and your guests.

An onsite villa manager offers a wealth of local knowledge on Sorrento restaurants and excursions, and three hours of daily maid service are also included.

Where to stay – Positano vacation rentals

Wherever you choose to stay on the Amalfi Coast, you are always close by to another village, beach, or cultural hot spot to visit. The nearest city of Naples is just a short 30-minute drive to Positano and Sorrento, but during the summer months, the two-lane coastal road which connects all of the villages gets snarled up with traffic. No matter when you are staying in a Luxury Retreats villa. The five-star villas are nestled high up in the Amalfi Coast’s cliff faces, meaning you can enjoy all the amenities and spectacular views from every room you are in. All you have to decide is which part of the coastline will be your new home-from-home.

Positano villas

Luxury Retreats’ villas in Positano are on another level when it comes to luxury, location, and modern convenience. Set above the bustling coastal towns, it’s the panoramic views which will first stop you in your tracks, closely followed by the Baroque architectural interior detailing of the expansive living areas, and the lush, tropical gardens covered in citrus fruit trees and bougainvillea. These villas have outdoor kitchen areas, pizza ovens and elegant alfresco dining areas as standard.

Though Positano's iconic grey shingle beaches – Fornillo and Marina Grande – are just a walk away, the lure of your villa’s heated pool with hot tub, sauna and sun terrace may be too enticing to say goodbye to. After a day’s relaxation, it is easy to watch the sunset with a chilled glass of wine your veranda or private terrace, followed by a quick walk into the village to enjoy a local dish of freshly caught seafood at one of the restaurants lining the seafront, although with chef grade kitchens and the option of a chef service at many homes, staying in may also prove to be tempting.

Your guests can keep their cool with the air conditioning available throughout the villa, and the locally produced majolica tiles, lining the floors and walls, also help to keep the interiors comfortably chilled. In many villas, complimentary continental breakfasts and a daily housekeeping service are available.

Villas in Sorrento

Sorrento was one of the must-see locations to visit during the height of the European Grand Tours of the 17th and 18th centuries. When staying in Luxury Retreats’ villas in Sorrento it is easy to see why, as the hillside views over Sorrento capture the elegant charm of this quintessentially Mediterranean town. With locations ranging from downtown Sorrento to high up in the hillside close to neighbouring villages of Massa Lubrense and Sant ‘Agnello, a Luxury Retreats villa captures the best of both worlds by being close to the best of what this region has to offer, while also providing privacy and security with its exclusive, gated properties.
