Villa Califano is an exceptionally luxurious villa in the heart of Sorrento within walking distance of all the local amenities including the beach, tennis court, shops, restaurants and bars. The surrounding area overlooks the Gulf of Naples, ideal for relaxing afternoons in the southern Italian sunshine.
The villa was purchased in 1970 by the Count de Mario Caracciolo, a lover of all things beautiful. He went on to decorate the villa with beautiful paintings, sculptures and antiques making it into the glamorous and luxurious villa that it is today.
With five sumptuous double bedrooms and five bathrooms, plus an adjacent annexe apartment, the villa can comfortably accommodate up to fourteen guests. There are multiple spaces for relaxing with the large spacious sitting rooms and a dining room, all of which lend themselves as the perfect venue for hosting family meals, enjoying activities together and creating long lasting memories.
The Villa is over 450 square meters, and it develops over several different levels. The garden leads to the main entrance: on the left you will find the spacious lounge, study, dining-room and music room. On the right of the entrance, you will find the rustic area with the kitchen, dining-room, lounge area and one double bedroom with unsuited shower and WC. The other bedrooms are located on the third floor.
The villa also boasts its own fully equipped gym on the lower ground floor and a private outdoor swimming pool.
The unobtrusive property owner lives next door and is available to offer a wealth of knowledge about Sorrento and the surrounding area. Three hours of daily maid service and laundry washing are also included during your stay.

Beautiful space, more beautiful people
The location is amazing. If it's steps from a beautiful lookout over the water to see beautiful sunsets every night! The house is beautiful and very well equipped with many different locations to hang out together as a group, or to find a quiet moment to yourself. There are ample bedrooms, and the pool felt amazing after a warm day hiking the path of the gods. The best part however is the owner Menna and her daughter Silvana! They made every breakfast special and were wonderful resources throughout the week. The villa does have several steps as well as many levels which may be difficult for young children or people with mobility issues.

Family Vacation
Our family of 13 recently stayed at the Villa for a week. To a person we couldn't have been happier with our experience. Mena, our hostess and owner lives on site and was inconspicuous but always available to help us in any way. The villa itself is both elegant and practical, spacious enough we barely used some of the rooms. It was very clean when we arrived and the housekeeping service daily was superb. The location allowed for an easy walk into the center of Sorrento. Mena arranged a dinner for us at the Villa the last evening and it was a wonderful home cooked meal at a cost far less than we would have paid in a restaurant, and far better. Too often, when you rent from a photo and a brief summary you are disappointed, not the case here, it exceeded our expectations! Casa meravigliosa per una settimana.
