Luxury Villa Rentals in Campania
Villas and sea-view apartments above the Bay of Naples, from Sorrento and Capri to Positano and Praiano
As featured in
Lemons, volcanoes and a coast built into the cliffs
Campania is where Italy is at its most theatrical. Vesuvius sits over the Bay of Naples, Pompeii and Herculaneum lie preserved where the eruption of AD 79 left them, and south of the bay the Sorrentine Peninsula ends in the Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where whole villages are stacked up the cliffs above the sea. Out in the bay are Capri and Ischia, and at the heart of it all is Naples, loud, generous and the home of pizza.
Our Campania collection runs to 520+ properties. Most are around Sorrento and along the Amalfi Coast, from sea-view apartments with hot tubs in town to large villas with pools in the hills, the largest with 15 bedrooms. There are also houses on Capri and Ischia and apartments in Naples.
Here is how the region divides, and how to choose where to stay.

Sorrento for an easy, well-connected base with ferries to Capri, Positano and Praiano for the drama of the Amalfi Coast, Massa Lubrense for quiet headlands, Capri and Ischia for island life, and Naples for the city.
The sensible base, with a sea view
Sorrento sits on a cliff above the Bay of Naples, looking straight across at Vesuvius, and it is the most practical place to stay in Campania. The Circumvesuviana train runs to Pompeii and Naples, ferries and hydrofoils leave the harbour for Capri, and the Amalfi Coast is a short drive over the hills. The old town is all lemon groves, limoncello shops and evening strolls along Corso Italia.
West of town, Massa Lubrense is quieter and greener, with olive terraces running down to the sea and walks out to Punta Campanella and the Bay of Ieranto, facing Capri across a narrow strait.

Villages that climb the cliff
Positano is the picture everyone has in mind: pastel houses tumbling down to a pebble beach, with boutiques and long lunches in between. Praiano, a few bends further east, has the same views with fewer crowds and some of the best sunsets on the coast. Beyond lie Amalfi itself, once a maritime republic, with its striped cathedral, and Ravello high above, where the gardens of Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone host concerts each summer.
The Path of the Gods, from Bomerano down to Nocelle above Positano, is the finest walk on the coast. Be warned that the coast road is narrow and slow in summer, and the boat is often the better choice.

Two islands and a great city
Capri is glamorous by day and lovely once the day-trippers leave: take the chairlift up Monte Solaro from Anacapri, swim beneath the Faraglioni, and visit the Blue Grotto early. Ischia is larger, greener and less polished, with thermal gardens, the fishing village of Sant'Angelo, and Forio, home to La Mortella, the garden created by Susana Walton.
Naples rewards anyone who gives it a few days. Its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the National Archaeological Museum holds the finest treasures from Pompeii, and the Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel stops most visitors in their tracks.

Pizza, buffalo mozzarella and a long, warm season
Campania eats very well. Neapolitan pizza is the real thing here, mozzarella di bufala comes from the plains south of Salerno, and the coast cooks scialatielli with seafood, finishing with delizia al limone and a glass of limoncello. In Naples, a sfogliatella with your morning coffee is close to compulsory.
May, June and September are the best months, warm enough for the sea and calm enough for walking. July and August are hot and busy, and many coastal restaurants close between November and March. Our concierge can arrange boat days to Capri, guided visits to Pompeii, restaurant tables and transfers.

The right house, not the nearest one
In Campania a villa's position decides your whole holiday, because steps, steep lanes and the coast road can turn a short distance into a long trip, and we know which properties are close to the sea, the ferries and the restaurants. With 520+ properties in Campania, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Private boat days to Capri and along the Amalfi Coast, guided visits to Pompeii and Herculaneum, restaurant reservations, ferry tickets, drivers and transfers from Naples. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place to stay in Campania?
Sorrento is the most practical base, with trains to Pompeii and Naples and ferries to Capri. Positano and Praiano suit those who want to be on the Amalfi Coast itself, Massa Lubrense is quieter, and Capri and Ischia are for island holidays.
When is the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento?
May, June and September give warm seas, long days and fewer crowds. July and August are the hottest and busiest months, and in winter many coastal hotels and restaurants close.
Can I visit Pompeii from a villa in Sorrento?
Yes. The Circumvesuviana train runs from Sorrento to Pompei Scavi in well under an hour, and Herculaneum is on the same line. Our concierge can arrange a private guide or a driver.
Can you arrange a private chef at a villa in Campania?
Yes. Our concierge can arrange a private chef for a single dinner or your whole stay, along with cookery lessons, guided visits, transfers and restaurant reservations.
How much does a luxury villa in Campania cost?
Across our 520+ villas in Campania, weekly rates typically range from £4,800 to £17,500, with the most affordable from around £2,800 a week and the largest estates well above. Prices depend on the size of the property, its location and the season, with July and August the most expensive. These are guide prices based on current listings; each property page shows its own rates for your dates.
