The high ceilings and arched doorways of the villa add to the majestic feel that this villa emits. The large ornate wooden staircase, a main feature of the sitting room, spirals to the second floor of the villa where the sleeping quarters are located.

Directly behind the staircase you will find a small entrance to a stairwell that takes you up the historic main tower of the villa. Sharply spiraling up three levels you will arrive at the rooftop terrace where the most magnificent views of the Sorrento and Amalfi coastlines can be savoured simultaneously. Perfectly furnished with an array of outdoor sunbeds to bask in the summer sun, as you gaze out and lose yourself in the beauty of the Mediterranean coast.

The separate eat-in kitchen is well equipped with all the necessary appliances and equipment to explore South Italian flavours should you decide to organize a home chef or prepare your own sumptuous meals with some local organic produce. A small stairway from the kitchen leads to a lower level washroom with washing machine and ironing facilities
