Villa Antea, Ravello

Villa Antea is an isolated house surrounded by olive groves and lemon trees.

It is a road which connects villas and countryside houses spread amidst lemon trees on the slope of the hill.

Once at the access gate to the property, stop for a while, look around, and take a deep breath: the air is clean and lemon-scented, and you will already be able to feast your eyes on the breathtaking scenery consisting of mountains and the sea.

You will soon realize how worthy it is to climb down the 140-step stairway which leads you to the house.

The house is two-storey high, and it has terraces and gardens facing the sun and the sea. One floor has been divided in two small and similar vacation apartments placed one next to the other, each one featuring its own private terrace. The guests of the apartments share another terrace, which is 50 square meters (about 538 square feet) large, and a small garden.

The garden is right below the apartment. It is filled with flowers and lemons, and you can reach it from the terrace after climbing down a few-step staircase. You will have a wonderful view of the sea from the garden as well.

The second floor of the house is reserved to its proprietors, who live in the place and are always at your disposal with all their discretion whenever you need. 

From every angle you will be able to enjoy the fascinating panorama of the Amalfi Coast and the sea. The landscape is actually considered one of the most beautiful in the world, and it has rendered Ravello famous worldwide as the city “suspended between the sky and the sea”.

The panorama which has fascinated musicians and poets also enchanted Richard Wagner, who took inspiration from the place to compose the immortal songs of ‘Parsifal’.

The panorama, along with the historical beauties, cultural and musical events have attracted, and it still does, renown characters as Greta Garbo, Jackeline Kennedy, Hilary Clinton, among others.

Staying at Villa Antea will grant you the privilege of standing before beauty every single moment of your vacation, from morning time, when you wake up and the sun rises behind the contours of the Lattari mountains and lights the sea, until nightfall, when the shimmering stars shine above and the sea reflects the moon.
