Villa Sophia is a unique and enchanting villa near Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Wonderfully situated at the end of the Sorrentine Peninsula, the converted and restored fourteenth-century monastery enjoys spectacular views of the Isle of Capri, Ischia, Punta Campanella, and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its unique design combines antique rusticity with classic Mediterranean elegance and contemporary amenities, with ample alfresco space for relaxation and entertainment, exquisite interior living areas, and six elegant bedroom suites. Savor dreamy mornings on the villa's lower terrace, bathing in the beautiful swimming pool, rinsing off in the alfresco shower, and relishing the scintillating sea views from elegant sun loungers. Stroll amid the vegetable garden and fruit orchard, and enjoy a delicious lunch alfresco. In the late afternoon, sip Italian wine on the mezzanine terrace, watching the sunset cast enchanting light on the Faraglioni Rocks of Capri. The villa's upper floor also enjoys an ample, furnished balcony, ideal for morning espresso and nighttime Limoncello. Indoors, the design and décor combine vestiges of the villa's monastic origins with period adornments of later centuries, including fine silk textiles from age-old factories in San Leucio, bathroom tiles from Vietri Sul Mare, and classic terracotta tile in the living areas. Lovely French doors join the interior with the terraces and balconies, inviting fresh Mediterranean breezes into the home. Cook fabulous Neopolitan feasts in the beautiful kitchen, serving them alfresco or in the formal dining room for twelve. Sip espresso, Grappa, or a fine wine in one of the beautiful living salons. The villa's six superb bedrooms include two with king beds, one with a queen bed and sleeper sofa, and three with double beds—accommodating thirteen guests in all. The king bedrooms share a bathroom and open directly to the terrace. The three rooms with double beds have ensuite bathrooms, and two of them open to the balcony. The queen bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. Villa Sophia enjoys one of the finest locations on the Amalfi Coast. You're just a seven-minute drive to the beach at Baia dell Sirene, and nine to Ieranto. The towns of Nerano and Sant-Agata are both about ten minutes away, while Sorrento itself is twenty-five-minute drive along the coast. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.
