Villa Cinabro

Description

A magnificently restored 18th century building, Villa Cinabro occupies a prime position overlooking the sea in a typical Amalfi Coast village. It is situated halfway between the popular towns of Positano and Amalfi; making it the ideal base for exploring sandy beaches and swimming in azure waters. And the nearest beach is just a 10-minute walk from the villa, with the village also being a great place to follow the Path of the Gods hiking trail.

The interior of Villa Cinabro is elegant and luxurious, with five en-suite double bedrooms accommodating up to ten people. Each bedroom reflects both the villa's age and the contemporary finish found throughout, with a mix of high ceilings and modern facilities, such as flat screen TVs.

When maximum occupancy of 8 guests is booked, the fifth bedroom transforms into a second stylish living space. Both of the villa's living rooms perfectly showcase its classy and unique atmosphere. One features a charming indoor garden, whilst the other has a glass floor pane that looks down to the indoor pool.

The indoor pool is designed for unwinding after long days, or simply treating yourself on holiday. Illuminated by soft lighting and offering various massage features, enjoy soothing background music as you allow both mind and body relax.

Delicious meals are enjoyed in the dining room, or al-fresco on the main terrace surrounded by the sights and scents of traditional Mediterranean plants. Drinks by the pool and dips in the pool itself are some of the best ways to appreciate the glorious sea views. But the most stunning views of all are from your very own roof garden with chill-out and small garden areas.

Soak up laid-back atmospheres typical of the Amalfi Coast in the nearby villages of Positano and Amalfi and their beautiful beaches. Both villages also have plenty of historic buildings to admire, as well as places to shop, drink and dine.

Other popular destinations are easy to reach from the villa, such as pretty Sorrento and the island of Capri with its enchanting Blue Grotto sea cave. The iconic ruins of Pompeii are just over an hour's drive away.

#### Location
Villa Cinabro sits within a charming coastal village that's home to a range of amenities, with a couple of shops just a few minutes away, as well as a seafood restaurant. Taking just a 10-minute walk from the villa will open up several other dining options, as well as the quiet beach of Marina di Praia. The village also boasts scenic walking trails through lush green areas, as well as there being lots of tucked-away coves by the sea to discover.

With the villa occupying a peaceful position between the coastal villages of Amalfi and Positano, both are easy to reach for days out. Amalfi is a tumble of pretty, pastel-coloured buildings that perch on the cliffs that overlook the sea. The main attractions here are the medieval Roman Catholic cathedral and the array of pebble and sandy beaches.

Positano also has plenty of sandy stretches to relax on, with the sea perfect for leisurely swims. Explore the town's maze of winding streets dotted with sets of steep steps and charming restaurants, shops, cafes and bars.

The island of Capri is just a boat ride away and is worth the journey alone to experience the stunning Blue Grotto. When sunlight passes through this sea cave, it reflects off the water and illuminates the entire cave with a magical blue glow.

Sorrento is around a 50-minute drive from the villa, with this popular coastal spot being famous for its lemons and shops selling local crafts. Historic highlights in the town include the cathedral, the 14th-century church Chiesa di San Francesco, and the bell tower. A favourite place to take a break is Piazza Tasso, as it's full of cafes where you can relax and people-watch.
