Location
South of Naples, the Massa
Lubrense promontory forms the southern arm of the
beautiful bay of Naples. Across the bay from
Naples is the town of Sorrento. Between the two,
along the bay, are the towns under the volcano
Vesuvius that the ancient Romans chose for their
vacation homes: Herculaneum, Pompeii, and Stabiae.
Since the 1800s, Sorrento has been a vacation
choice for the rich and famous, a stop on the
Grand Tour. It sits on a cliff so there are few
sandy beaches. Villa Sole is on the Massa Lubrense
promontory. Breathtaking Mediterranean views
encompass a prized perspective on the fabled Isle
of Capri.
To arrive at Villa Sole, you
drive from the North/South highway, past Naples
and along the first part of the winding,
cliff-edge Amalfi Coast Drive through and 2.5
miles (4k) past Sorrento. It is 13 miles to
Positano and 37 miles to Naples.
A curving road leads down from
the Amalfi Coast road past a number of villas.
Villa Sole is at the end of the road, as close to
the sea as one can get here.
It is 80 steps
down to the water where there is a sun bathing
platform, toilet, shower and a ladder down into the clear,
blue-green water.
Grounds man puts out lounge
chairs and umbrella.
There are some sea walls to calm the waters close to shore and a
jetty where you can bring in a boat. You may hire
a boat to take you out on the water and to the
islands of Capri and Ischia and it can pick you up
here.
Building
Villa Mare has a large terrace overlooking
the sea. Maintenance is
meticulous and each weekday a housekeeper tends to
the grounds, sets out lounge chairs at the beach
and provides an hour an a half of
housekeeping.
Villa Mare is One level above
the street level where you may park one car.
Above and set back from Villa
Mare is Sole, a five bedroom. And, halfway down to the
water, is a one bedroom apartment that backs into
the cliff, called Stella. Altogether, with use of
sofa beds and a rollaway, the complex could sleep
21.
Description
You can enter onto the terrace
next to the villa entrance and immediately being
to enjoy the spectacular view of the Mediterranean
sea and sky. On the left is a platform with the
large outside dining table that seats eight. The
terrace has areas that are open to the sun and
others that have rush sun shades.
To the left is a
pool of 15 x 32 feet, 4.5 x 10m. It is a pool
with a vinyl liner. The sides are concealed by
steps and a wall.
The living room furniture, all
in white, faces the television and, across the
room a fireplace for cozy winter enjoyment. There
is a sofa and four arm chairs. The dining area is
open to the living room. Cool white walls and
chair covers offset pretty turquoise tile and
mosaic floors.
The living room and the master
bedroom are air-conditioned. The television has
satellite reception so as to receive some BBC
channels. There is a VCR, a CD stereo and a
landline telephone
The kitchen continues with the
same turquoise tiles as in the dining room. It has
everything a cook needs with large (for Italy)
refrigerator/freezer, microwave, four burner stove
top and dishwasher.
There are three bedrooms. The
master bedroom has some very nice antique
furniture pieces, a queen-sized bed and ensuite
bath with shower. It has a sea view. The second
and third bedrooms share a bath with shower. One
bedroom has a queen sized bed and the other two
twin beds.
Included in the price is daily
housekeeping for care of the villa. One set of linens is
included in the price. Additional linen changes
available for a fee.
