Description
Hidden away in an enchanting hillside setting and surrounded by lush gardens dotted with fruit trees, olive groves and lemon groves is grand Villa Lea. Enjoy swimming, dining and relaxing within your very own slice of the Sorrentine countryside, as well as glorious views over the Gulf of Naples and the island of Capri.
From relaxing on the nearby coast's rugged beaches to following trails through the rural landscapes, every day is an adventure in this beautiful part of the Sorrentine peninsula.
Villa Lea's luxurious accommodation is set over three levels, with each room stylishly designed and furnished. There's a touch of refinement throughout; from chic tiles on the floors, to the clean lines of the professional kitchen and the living space's antique pieces.
The living space is one of the villa's most impressive rooms. Movie nights are occasions in themselves, with a projector screen and seating area giving you a cinema-like experience. You can also simply relax on a sofa and enjoy moving in and out the garden with doors that open directly onto a dining terrace bordered by olive tree-dotted lawns. There's also a comfortable sofa area on the middle floor's beautiful veranda.
Several more dining terraces can be found in and around Villa Lea, with one on the upper level offering some of the most breathtaking views over the sea. When it's a cosy mealtime you want, sit down together at the large table in the sophisticated dining room.
The villa boasts 12 double bedrooms, each with their own sumptuous ensuite bathroom, kitchenette and television for a totally self-contained feel. Every bedroom also has access to a balcony or terrace; allowing everyone to appreciate the stunning scenery first thing in the morning and as the sun begins to set.
There's a place for every type of relaxation within the villa's expansive Mediterranean gardens. Sure to be a favourite spot to soak up the views is the swimming pool area with sun loungers and an ancient Roman-style pillar feature. Younger children will also love the small play area.
The rocky and dramatic coastline in the area is home to several picture-postcard beaches. Two of the closest to the villa are Giardino Romantico and Mitigliano Beach. Hire sun loungers and go swimming in crystal-clear waters.
Massa Lubrense is a lovely place to take in scenes over the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno. Enjoy walking along trails up to the hills to get the very best views and dine in harbour-side restaurants with the sea as a peaceful backdrop.
