Walk to Amalfi from this exclusive historic house, with stunning original features, sea-view terraces and a heated mini-pool with 3 hydromassage jets and waterfall

For total immersion in the enchanting atmosphere of the Amalfi Coast, welcome to Villa Margherita. Set amidst lemon-scented slopes, the villa climbs up the side of a hill, above a series of small beaches, with breathtaking views across hillsides covered in olive groves and vineyards, to the sparkling blue sea. Despite its panoramic position, the villa is conveniently located only 900m from Amalfi.


Amire the stunning views from the picturesque stone mini-pool and dine al fresco on the terraces, with some of the best views of Amalfi. A long, narrow terrace also connects the three bedrooms.


Beautifully restored to preserve the romantic vaulted ceilings, ancient beams and original hand-crafted plaster walls, the interiors are equally stunning. The bathrooms boast elegant travertine tiles and washbasins, and the bedrooms and dining area boast remarkable period furniture. Situated on the 1st floor of a house, the villa has two entrances: to the west a small studio/living room with kitchenette; to the east the so-called 'blue entrance', in the oldest part of the house, with another kitchenette and a beautiful chestnut wood table.


The villa retains many period elements, characterised by refined simplicity and traditional building techniques: vaulted, barrel and ogival cross vaulted ceilings; restored original wooden lintels and doors; irregular stone walls and plasterwork made exclusively with traditional mortars, the result of thousands of years of experience in masonry art, composed of local lime, pumice and red earth; the old beaten lime and pumice of the vaulted roof; the blue/green plastering of some of the rooms, partly original, the result of superimpositions that have occurred over the centuries, which in the western entrance, allow one to imagine the sea in the only room where it cannot be admired.


Interior and furniture in minimal style made by the best local craftsmen

The BLUE ENTRANCE from which one enters the SKY and SUN rooms, characterised by irregular plasterwork and blue/green finishes that in many parts are still the original ones. These, too, have been restored by master restorers/decorators Franco De Stefano and Michele Pontillo.

Immerse yourself in the history and beauty of the beloved Amalfi Coast

- Given the proximity of the villa to Amalfi, the best way to get around is by bus or taxi. If you need a car, we advise you to book parking in advance (for a fee).

- There are no TVs in the property. This is a conscious choice of the owner who wishes to preserve the villa as a place of relaxation and natural beauty.

- The Amalfi Coast is beautiful at any time of year, but is at its best in May, June, September and October, when the towns and beaches are a little quieter and the heat of the sun less intense.
