About This Villa

La Rocchetta is a beautiful stone home in a medieval hamlet which overlooks the island of Capri from an idyllic location on the Sorrento coast in the south-west of Italy.

This five-bedroom two-storey villa is the perfect blend of old and new. This home has been lovingly decorated and with sea views from many of the windows it has a cosy romantic air. The antique furniture, beautiful tiles and rustic stonework offer a traditional feel but the light and airy home is also filled with all the modern amenities you would need, including air-conditioning in the bedrooms. Though the interiors are lovely, you may find yourself spending lots of time in the garden where you can take in the captivating views of the Gulf of Naples and enjoy the private pool, surrounded by borders of fragrant summer flowers. 

Sleeping up to eleven people across five pretty bedrooms including a delightful annexe with a sea view terrace, this villa is perfect for a big family holiday or a getaway with friends. The spacious house has room for all of your party to enjoy some privacy and then come together when you wish; whether in the comfortable living room in the evening or on the gorgeous al-fresco dining terrace for a meal, where you could make use of the pizza oven while gazing down over the azure-coloured sea.

The heart of the hamlet is just a stroll away and is comprised of a small collection of buildings constructed mostly before 1700. There are historic castle remains and a cathedral as well as a local restaurant and a shop, you can also take in some amazing views from different vantage points. If you fancy leaving the car at the villa so you can sample the local wines there is a bus available to nearby towns like Sorrento.

You will also find one of many gorgeous beaches just a few minutes away from the villa by car. The nearest is a pretty, rocky cove which is right by a popular restaurant. A ten-minute drive away around Massa Lubrense there are a selection of stunning Blue Flag awarded beaches; whether you are looking for a wild cove or a family friendly beach you will find them all close by.
