Dimora di Mare: Villa Sgrosso
Dimora di Mare: Villa Sgrosso
The romantic Dimora di Mare: Villa Sgrosso is situated in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, on a cliff overlooking the deep-blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Its strategic position in Castiglione di Ravello, only a mile from Amalfi and three miles from Ravello, is perfect for sightseeing throughout the region. A four-story, private residence dating from the 19th century, it has been recently been renovated and transformed into a luxury guest accommodation with no comfort spared.
Villa Sgrosso boasts eight double bedrooms named after forms of classical music like Rapsodia, Melodia and Fuga. These spacious and luxurious rooms have en-suite bathrooms with hydro-massage showers and, in two of them, jacuzzi-type whirlpool baths. They are beautifully furnished with antiques and valuable paintings, and all have comfortable sitting areas featuring original terracotta, antique parquet or hand painted ceramic tile floors.
From each bedroom, balconies or large oval windows provide panoramic views of the sea, while during the recent renovation, the most technologically advanced comforts were added: soundproofing, flat screen TV, high-speed Internet and orthopedic mattresses and pillows.
Access to the sea is provided by 130 stone steps, winding down through bougainvillea-draped terraces, lemon and orange groves. Here you will find a sauna set into a natural cave, a spa swimming pool with hydro-massage and an enchanting inlet with a small, private pier. A covered dining terrace right on the water allows guests to enjoy stunning al fresco meals, while a larger, panoramic dining terrace is situated on the villa's lower floor and the rooftop deck is equipped with a barbeque and its own small, fully equipped kitchen.
