Villa Albicocca

Villa Albicocca sits on raised ground above the coast at Vico Equense, wrapped in greenery and looking out across the water.

With four bedrooms, five bathrooms and room for up to 10 guests, this holiday villa on the Sorrento Coast works well for families or a group of friends who want space, privacy and a pool of their own.

The house covers 350 square metres (3,768 square feet). Inside there is air conditioning for summer and central heating for cooler months, a fireplace, Wi-Fi and a fully fitted kitchen with oven, dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker. Bed linen and towels are provided, and a laundry service is available.

Outdoors is where the villa really earns its place. A private swimming pool is set within a well-kept garden finished in travertine marble, and several terraces give you different corners for reading, eating outside or simply watching the light change over the sea.

There is a barbecue for long dinners outdoors and private parking within the property.

The highlight is the roof. Up here a hydromassage tub shares the space with a solarium laid out with sunbeds and sofas, and the panorama takes in the open sea, the Gulf of Naples and the outline of Mount Vesuvius. It is the natural spot for a sunset drink or a slow morning coffee.

Vico Equense lies on the stretch of coast between Naples and Sorrento, so the villa makes a comfortable base for exploring this side of Campania while coming back each evening to a quiet, green hillside setting.
