An architectural gem with panoramic sea views and direct access to the sparkling waters of the Tyrrhenian

Nestled into the bare rock along the Amalfi Coast, Villa Limonaia commands sweeping sea views. Its unique architecture cleverly utilises the natural rock formations to create a seamless integration between the villa and its surrounding environment.

Designed and built in the 1960s by renowned Italian architect Vincenzo Monaco, the villa is enveloped by lemon trees and citrus-filled trellises. A private path offers guests exclusive access to a secluded rocky cove, allowing for refreshing dips in the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

On one of its many terraces, the villa features a saltwater pool uniquely designed to incorporate the sheer cliff wall and offers panoramic views. Post-swim, guests can laze on a poolside lounger to soak up the rays.

When it comes to outdoor living, guests are spoilt for choice. From the sunny open terrace to a trellis-shaded outdoor dining space to the vine-covered outdoor lounge, there is plenty of space to savour a glass of local wine while watching the sunset, or simply relax and soak in the idyllic atmosphere. The villa also features an outdoor kitchen equipped with a barbecue and a wood-fired pizza oven for convivial al fresco meals.

The villa itself is a masterpiece of mid-century modern architecture with sleek, minimalist interiors. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the breathtaking views, while tasteful decorations mixed with contemporary and traditional Italian furnishings create an atmosphere of understated sophistication.

High, arched ceilings above the open-plan living and dining room add to the villa’s great sense of space. Guests can enjoy a drink from the bar, while the chef whips up delicious Mediterranean feasts in the fully equipped kitchen.

For those looking for a more active holiday, the villa has access to a shared gym and a shared massage room for post-workout treatments.

The villa sleeps up to 14 guests across seven well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, all with stunning sea views. Six of the bedrooms are in the main building, including the lavish master bedroom, which boasts its own living room, a dressing room, a luxurious bathroom, and a private sea-view balcony. For those seeking extra privacy, the villa offers a separate one-bedroom guest house.

With its unique blend of architectural elegance, natural beauty, and luxurious comfort, Villa Limonaia is the perfect villa for an unforgettable holiday on the Amalfi Coast.

NB: For larger groups, the villa can be booked with neighbouring Villa Torre, for up to 28 guests total.
