Casa Lapillo

Set in picturesque gardens with views of the sea as far as Li Galli Islands, Casa Lapillo is a holiday home full of Campania charm, in a wonderful countryside setting with easy access to Sorrento, Positano and all that the Amalfi coast has to offer.

The interiors are delightful, all on one level and with the benefit of air-conditioning throughout. A welcoming living room offers plenty of characterful space whilst the kitchen-diner is a lovely place for tranquil breakfasts, with French doors leading out to a pretty vine-covered pergola for summery al-fresco meals. Three bedrooms can be made up as doubles or twins, each one individually styled with attractive furnishings, doors leading to the garden and the most exquisitely tiled en suite bathrooms.

Outside, the spacious garden features deck chairs on the large lawn looking out towards the sea, ancient olive trees and scented summer flowers to bring colour and yet more magic to this enchanting home.

Part of a vast estate, Casa Lapillo can be booked by itself or, on request only, in conjunction with neighbouring Li Galli View (which has its own swimming pool just in front of Casa Lapillo’s gardens).

Overlooked by the impressive Monte Vico Alvano, despite this countryside setting you are so close to so many sights of the Amalfi coast with easy access to the road between Sorrento and Positano. There’s also a small shop and restaurant you can stroll to whilst keen walkers can discover some of the hilly trails in the surrounding area.

Stunning Sorrento is a 15 to 20 minute drive away, surrounded by lemon fields, vineyards and olive groves whilst the romantic villages of Positano, Praiano and beyond can be reached via the dramatic coastal road heading east. Take boat trips out to the gorgeous island of Capri, admire the mesmerising scenery by sea-kayak or simply find a hidden rocky platform or little beach for swimming in the crystal-clear sea.

Then there’s amazing days out to Pompeii, Herculaneum or Mount Vesuvius, that’s if you can tear yourself away from the outstanding natural beauty of the magnificent Amalfi coast.
