Villa Annalisa is a spectacular villa, built in the 19th century overlooking the sea on the Amalfi Coast, in the town of Castiglione di Ravello, a short distance away from Amalfi and Atrani. The ravishing countryside, the vast expanse of the sea, Ravello and its famous villas clearly visible, together with its luxuriant ambiance, transform this Italian villa into a magnetic attraction. The villa\'s entrances are conveniently located at street level, which is on the main Amalfi Coastal Road (SS 163). The property offers a small private gated parking area for two medium size cars immediately outside the front door (one of them is included in the weekly rental rate). A public garage is also available a short distance away (about 100 m). The home has recently been renovated, transforming the villa into a luxury guest accommodation while at the same time, carefully preserving the architectural integrity of this historical home.

The property has a private garden of 1500 sqm with its own access to the sea by a stairway: 130 stone steps wind down through bougainvillea covered terraces, and lemon and orange groves. In an enchanting cliff just upon the sea is embedded the swim spa pool (open time May to end of Oct, from 8 am to 8 pm). It is a Jacuzzi, 4.30 x 2.3 meters, with water massage, upstream swimming and heat-able water. There is also an equipped solarium, and a small private pier set in an enchanting cliff inlet.
