Villa Chimera

Set in the hills of the Sorrento peninsula, enjoy panoramic sea views from your poolside terrace and upper balcony at this spacious and welcoming residence.

Villa Chimera exudes authentic charm across its gorgeous interiors. We adore the hand-painted majolica flooring across many of the rooms bringing vibrant splashes of colour so typical of the Amalfi coast. The open-plan living and dining space is so characterful and sliding doors open to the vast terrace and large swimming pool. Prepare delicious meals in the kitchen and serve al-fresco making the most of those spectacular vistas.

Head up the quirky staircase and you will find four comfortable air-conditioned bedrooms on the upper floor, allowing Villa Chimera to sleep up to 8 guests. There are two double bedrooms with pretty floors and access to the balcony for more sweeping views. Another double bedroom and a twin bedroom complete this floor alongside a bathroom and shower room. The third shower room is downstairs, as is a sofa-bed for an additional 2 guests.

This holiday home is located in a residential hamlet within walking distance to a restaurant (open seasonally) and only 1.5km by car from the local village with its good sized supermarket. Massa Lubrense is loved for its many walking trails and glorious views in all directions. Hike along winding roads and centuries-old mule tracks and come across idyllic coves and beautiful little bays. Stop off for lunch overlooking the sea in Marina del Cantone or hop on a boat to tour the coast.

A little further afield, soak up the iconic charm of Sorrento, take a ferry to the island of Capri or venture to the dramatic Amalfi coast for picture-perfect villages such as Positano, Praiano and beyond in this enchanting part of southern Italy.
