MAIORI TOWER - MAIORI

6 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Set on the cliffs of Maiori with expansive panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, this magnificent six-bedroom property is the perfect place for a relaxing break on one of the most famous stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean. With a spectacular cliff-top setting facing the imposing Mount Vesuvius across the glittering Bay of Naples and the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, it is no wonder the Amalfi Coast is a must-visit destination on everyone's bucket list.

The villa is just a stone’s throw from Maiori, which is like an amphitheater at the end of Tramonti valley. Founded in the 9th century and rebuilt after a flood in 1954, today Maiori is a modern town. Tucked in between mountains and sea, Amalfi is a town best explored on foot. While Piazza Duomo and the main street are home to most of the town’s shops and restaurants, do spend some time wandering and exploring the quieter side streets, where you will find arched passageways, hidden gardens and tiny piazzas.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Vietri sul Mare, a seaside resort exceptionally renowned for its ceramics. The majolica-decorated dome and bell tower of San Giovanni Battista have almost come to symbolize this town overlooking the Bay of Salerno. Cooking utensils, plates, vases and tiles have been made here since the 1400s. In the mid-18th century, Vietri sul Mare became known as the majolica-makers’ district, a suburb of Cava de’ Tirreni.

The villa is a few kilometers from Ravello. Sitting high in the hills above Amalfi, Ravello is famous for its ravishing gardens and stupendous views, the best in the world according to former resident Gore Vidal. The Ravello Festival is a classical music festival held in the gardens of Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, and in a fabulous auditorium designed by Oscar Niemeyer. Originally built for the Rufolo family, Villa Rufolo was remodeled in the 19th century by a Scottish enthusiast who preserved the Arabic elements.

The sight of Positano from a distance is breathtaking. Color is everywhere, reflecting on the tranquil sea, the silvery pebbled beach and the gleaming Majolica-domed church of Santa Maria Assunta. The houses built up from the waterside, accessible to one another via an endless array of steep stairs, boast pale sorbet colors. In summer, when the serried ranks of sunbeds fill up quickly, take a boat to explore the many small coves up and down the coast.

Property 10726 is 64 km from Naples Capodichino International Airport and 293 km from Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport.
