Villa Siri

About this property

Surrounded by an orange grove, olive trees and beautiful sea views, make the most of the two swimming pools and gorgeous Mediterranean gardens at this wonderfully restored 18th century residence close to the heart of Massa Lubrense on the captivating Sorrento Peninsula.

Sleeping up to 16 guests, Villa Siri consists of two adjoining villas within two hectares of glorious grounds, rented together making it an ideal holiday choice for an extended family or close group of friends with contemporary movable walls cleverly joining the two houses. Each villa features its own inviting lounge and dining area, modern kitchen as well as a lift taking you to the upper floors.

One of the villas, facing north towards the sea, is home to five elegant bedrooms whilst the other villa has four pretty doubles, some with views of the enchanting island of Capri. There is a sense of understated luxury throughout Villa Siri with simple yet elegant décor and stylish furnishings, perfectly complimented by incredible vistas of the sea.  

Across the two-hectare estate, admire the organic vegetables growing in the garden alongside oranges and olives so typical of the Sorrento Peninsula. Take a stroll along the bougainvillea-clad pathways then head to one of the two swimming pools, the first one looking out towards the sea with its decked terrace and summer kitchen, the second one set in the heart of the garden.

With a Villa Director on hand, you will be well looked after with continental breakfast and daily housekeeping each morning and the possibility to arrange breakfast, grocery deliveries and a private chef amongst other bespoke services.  

It’s just a short walk to Massa Lubrense’s village centre with its café terraces, shops and 18th century cathedral whilst in the other direction, down by the coast, you will find the atmospheric marina, ideal for taking a boat tour to the nearby caves, Capri or the Amalfi coast. There are idyllic coves and little bays a short drive away (some accessed only on foot) as well as wonderful walks and hikes passing old hamlets, lemon groves, olive trees, farms and the most glorious countryside with sensational sea views.

Of course, the joy of Sorrento awaits for the perfect day out or head there in the evening to soak up the bustling ambience, enjoy a meal out in its historic lanes and admire the romantic sunset as the night nears. Look out for boat trips to the Amalfi coast, a great way to reach gems such as Positano and Priano, get whisked away to Capri or even venture north to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius for yet more spectacular experiences during your time in Campania.

Villa Siri is set within two hectares of Mediterranean grounds with glorious views towards the sea, perched above the winding road leading to the historic heart of Massa Lubrense, only 7km from Sorrento.

You can walk along the road (no pavement) to the bustling village’s main square, home to a pretty cathedral as well as shops, a small supermarket and a handful of restaurants, cafes and bars. Sit on one of the square’s benches and gaze out to beautiful sea views or stop off for a coffee on a café terrace. In the other direction from the villa is the marina, around 1km away down the steep hill/steps, where you will find atmospheric restaurants, seasonal boat trips and sea-kayaking opportunities.

Across this protected area, discover incredible walks and hikes through olive groves and lemon trees, passing old hamlets and rural landscapes with magnificent views of the sea. Visit working farms to sample delicious products of the region such as olive oil, lemons, tomatoes and cheese. In terms of beaches, there are the rocky shores of San Montano around 2km away and other picturesque coves and bays, some easier to access than others, such as Marina del Cantone, Fiordo di Crapolla (accessed on foot via a mule track) and Cala di Mitigliano.

Of course, a great attraction of this region is Sorrento (7km), around a 15-minute drive away or check to see if there are boat trips from the marina. With stunning vistas over the Bay of Naples, this picture-postcard town is full of charm with its steep medieval lanes, restaurants, bars, café terraces and rich heritage. In the height of the summer, join the many visitors at one of the beach clubs near the harbour. As the evening nears, find a romantic spot to enjoy the sunset at any time of year.

There are of course so many fantastic day trips from this part of Campania whether you wish to take a boat tour across to the fascinating island of Capri, head further north towards Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius or simply explore the undulating beauty of the Amalfi coast with idyllic coastal villages such as Positano, Praiano and Amalfi waiting to be explored by car or boat.
