Villa della Lobra Italy

With breath-taking views of Naples Bay, nestled amongst olive groves, fruit trees, and just outside of Massa Lubrense town, Villa della Lobra is a dream villa in the most exquisite location. Sleeping up to twelve lucky guests, this private villa and pool makes a luxurious base for exploring the Sorrentine Peninsula, Mediterranean countryside and world-famous sights such as Capri Island, Pompei (33km) and the gorgeous town of Sorrento (12km).
Sitting just above the road leading all the way to Punta Campanella, at the end of the peninsula, Villa della Lobra is surrounded by ancient pathways which cut through the beautiful hills and along the sea cliffs in Massa Lubrense, leaving walkers spoilt for choice.
If your decision to holiday in this region of Italy has anything to do with food and drink, you won’t be disappointed. Olive oil is and Limoncello are produced locally.
Villa della Lobra runs across three levels. There are four air-conditioned bedrooms upstairs, three with en-suite bathrooms and two bedrooms on the lower level, again both are air-conditioned and en-suite as well as featuring a private terrace for soaking up the views first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
This large and tastefully decorated villa provides open-plan living spaces for gathering together, chilling out and sharing mealtimes or special occasions. It features numerous objets d’art and homely features giving it a warm and welcoming feeling. The kitchen is more than up to the job of catering for all twelve guests: it’s well-equipped and has access to both the indoor and outdoor dining rooms.
The generous terraces extend from the living areas and bedrooms and wrap around the sea-facing side of the house to take advantage of Villa della Lobra’s quite wonderful aspect. Your eye is taken as far as the horizon, beyond the beautiful Isle of Capri and Bay of Naples. In direct competition with the view, is your irresistible private pool. It’s a good size and the surrounding pool terrace is dotted with comfortable sun beds and parasols.
Backed by mature Mediterranean trees and pretty, flowering plants, this space is intimate and indulgent. At the end of the day, the sun sets perfectly between the villa and hillside, and it will feel like you’ve found your very own corner of paradise. Massa Lubrense (3.5km) is more than just a town; it’s a region of natural beauty, spanning the width of the Sorrento Peninsula, dotted with seventeen villages and numerous countryside walks, which rediscover ancient mule paths and coastal routes. Another way to explore your locality, is by boat. There’s a small fishing village just a few minutes’ drive away, and from here you can hire a boat to sail gently from hidden inlet to tucked-away cove.
Other trips to the coast from Villa della Lobra can include Marina del Cantone (12km) where you’ll find a great pebbly beach for a day soaking up the sun and swimming in the sheltered sea. Or, the smart and glamorous coastal resort of Positano (25km) is less than an hour away.
As well as gazing at Capri from your terrace, if you want to pay a visit, ferries leave Sorrento port daily during the summer. Once here, you can continue your sea-faring adventures with a boat tour around the island, taking in sights such as Punta Carina lighthouse and the amazing Blue Grotto. If you’re happy on dry land, enjoy a leisurely drink and people watching in the main square known as Piazzetta, before taking the chairlift up to Mount Solaro Peak.
Back in Sorrento, you can admire yet another view from the exquisite Villa Communale Park and Gardens, and then head down to Marina Grande for freshly-caught seafood in waterfront restaurants. Try the Scialatielli al pesce spada (pasta, provola cheese and local fish) and then wander into the historic heart of Sorrento for handmade ice cream and souvenir-buying in the stylish streets and piazzas. Look out for Tuesday’s street market for bargains and local produce. At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
