Overview
Both elegant and characterful, Isole Delle Sirene is set in the hills between Positano and Sorrento, enjoying glorious sea-views out towards the mesmerising Li Galli Islands.
Part of a large estate yet in a private position, this is the owner’s main holiday residence thus decorated with the most beautiful style and with great comfort in mind. Built into the hillside out of local rock, every detail has been thought of when carefully designing the interiors of this charming home from the colourful fabrics across the six pretty bedrooms to the personal touches such as antique furnishings, ceramic works of art as well as handsome prints, all show-casing the best of this wonderful region of Italy.
Downstairs is the welcoming living room with satellite TV and the newly renovated kitchen with its delicately tiled floor. Doors open up to a delightful pergola, the perfect place for morning coffee and pastries as you listen to the birdsong. A second garden patio is ideal for al-fresco dining for up to 12 guests whilst upstairs you can gaze out to the sea and islands from the spacious first-floor terrace.
Air-conditioned throughout, there are five bedrooms in the main villa, all with en suite bath or shower rooms, including a grand master bedroom on the ground floor with lovely garden views. Furthermore, around 50m away, a pretty annexe offers space for three more guests with its double/twin and living area with a sofa-bed.
The gardens are simply glorious with a gorgeous swimming pool set amongst the olive trees as well as sweetly scented summer flowers, vast lawns for children to play on and a vegetable garden where guests can help themselves to whatever may be in season. Enjoy the sunshine as you relax by the trailing bougainvillea or take a stroll along the path up to the swimming pool, catching glimpses of the sea through the Mediterranean plants, cacti and trees.
Despite this countryside setting, there’s a small grocery store and family restaurant within walking distance as well as a hotel with tennis courts. There are many hikes close by with Monte Vico Alvano so near or discover wonderful walks near Sorrento through lemon groves and vineyards, often along former mule tracks.
You can be enjoying orange and almond flavoured gelato on a picturesque terrace in Sorrento in around 15 to 20 minutes or join the coastal road to nearby Positano to appreciate its romantic ambience and stunning scenery. Look out for boat trips to the island of Capri, sea-kayaking tours along the Amalfi coast and idyllic little beaches, many with summer lidos for sun-bed and umbrella hire.
Not to mention the incredible Mount Vesuvius and fantastic sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum which can be easily visited for an amazing day out.

Location
About the surrounding area of Isole Delle SireneLocated in the hills between Sorrento and Positano, with views across to Li Galli Islands, Isole Delle Sirene enjoys a countryside position with the benefit of being just 500m from the road that connects Sorrento to the rest of the Amalfi coast.
In a private setting, you can wander out to a small grocery store or in the other direction towards a hotel with tennis courts for hire. There is also a simple family trattoria within walking distance whilst a further choice of restaurants and a supermarket can be found just a short drive away in the Piano di Sorrento area.
The heart of Sorrento is 6km away, about 15-20 minutes in the car, an idyllic town with steep lanes, historic buildings and mesmerising views. Wander around the charming shops, sample some of the local limoncello products and find wonderful restaurants in the old town to sample some of the regional cuisine.
From Sorrento, boat trips head to Capri, a lovely day out, or look out for summer ferries departing as far as Ischia and Procida on certain days. There are also plenty of excursions to Positano and other gorgeous villages along the Amalfi coast if you prefer not to drive the coastal road.
That said, the famous and romantic village of Positano is only 8.5km away, about 25 minutes in the car, with its stunning scenery, gorgeous restaurants and beautiful beaches. Praiano, usually less crowded than Positano, is also full of charm whilst other highlights along this coastline include the tiny village of Conca dei Marini and the incredible Fiordo di Furore. Alternatively, continue onwards to Amalfi and the magnificent village of Ravello, both just over an hour away.
Keen hikers can set off to explore Monte Vico Alvano in the immediate surrounding area or head towards Sorrento to walk through lemon farms, olive groves and vineyards, often along old mule tracks. There’s also the famous mountain trail between Agerola and Positano with the most amazing views, known as Il Sentiero Degli Dei (The Path of Gods).
You are also perfectly located for a fantastic day out to Pompeii, about 40 minutes by car – arrive early to make the most of the morning before the heat of the afternoon sun. Mount Vesuvius is another brilliant day trip or you could even spend time in Naples (with ferries or trains departing from Sorrento if you prefer not to drive).

Best Suited For: All AgesIn a countryside setting with gorgeous sea views, it is handy to be able to stroll out to the local grocery store when staying with children. Furthermore, there is a hotel with tennis courts just a short walk away.
It’s around a 25-minute drive to Sorrento, an idyllic town which will enchant every age with its steep lanes, pretty piazzas and mesmerising views. Find a gorgeous café for a gelato with a view, perhaps a local flavour such as lemon, orange or almond. The town also features lidos in the summer months, some with platforms jutting out to the sea as well as sun-bed and parasol hire.
Catch a boat for a tour of the Amalfi coast or to the gorgeous island of Capri (with its funicular) or take a sea-kayaking excursion around the stunning coastline.
Boat trips and sea-kayaking are also available from nearby Positano, an incredible perched village with little beaches, gorgeous restaurants and spectacular scenery.
Further up the coast, beyond the delightful village of Praiano, there are some fascinating sea caves to explore.
This is also a good base for visiting Pompeii, Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius, perfect for young historians and geologists.
