The Villa

The Villa is in a dominant position above sea, completely enveloped by verdant lemon and oranges garden. Cosy and relaxing place of hospitality and tranquillity, is a charming place to chill and relax with an amazing panorama but is also close to the city centre!

From the terraces, a breathtaking panorama-view encompassing the bay of Amalfi from Cape Vettica to Cape d’Orso, the Amalfi old town and Cathedral, and also the opposite coast line from Salerno to Paestum, Acciaroli up to Cape Licosa.

Thanks to the seclusion of  part of the terraces, it is possible to sunbathe in absolute privacy.

The oldest part of the Villa was built at the end of the 16th century; recently the Villa was completely restored and renovated in order to create Holiday Home apartments equipped with an independent air conditioning/heating system in every room; every bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and opens onto the panoramic terrace.

At the moment, two apartments are available to guests:    

The Cavalieri Suite (up to 4+1 guests)

The Honeymoon Suite (2 guests)

We cannot say enough beautiful things about our stay! Eleanora and Florestano were beyond gracious and helpful to us. Even helping in some of our travel arrangements that got lost in translation. Eleanora was quick to give us wonderful suggestions for our time there. We truly had a trip of a lifetime and cannot wait to return. We highly recommend staying here!

Florestano and Ellie were gracious and helpful hosts! We were welcomed with a chilled bottle of Prosecco and some provisions. The place is very clean and equipped. They were very responsive and assisted us with anything we needed. We hope to visit again!

Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux dans ce logement. Florestano nous a accueillis avec beaucoup de sympathie et de gentillesse, nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison. Notre hôte a toujours été disponible en cas de questions. De plus, il nous a très bien conseillés sur les lieux à visiter. L'appartement était très propre avec tout le nécessaire. Cerise sur le gâteau, la vue est à couper le souffle. Merci encore à Florestano et Eleonora ! Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

WOW. We loved our stay, the place is beautiful and so relaxing. Elly was so helpful and friendly we loved meeting her. The views are unbeatable. If you don’t like walking then there’s buses into the main towns. But if like us, you love hiking then you can walk to and from Amalfi as well as down to a beach. Not for the unfit but definitely a brilliant way to work off the gelato! The apartment is really well arranged. It has everything you need. We cooked fresh vegetables from the garden and walked to the local shop where we bought delicious mozzarella and salami. We will be back for sure!! ♥️🍅

We stayed at Florestano’s Airbnb for four nights in July. The location was wonderful, with a great view from the terrace, and all of the little touches (including wine and treats on arrival) were very much appreciated! I would definetely recommend this space for a stay in Amalfi!

Amazing host! Really great at communicating how to get to Airbnb, helped us figure out how to get around and suggested activities for us. Great at responding and even when our flight was late in the evening let us stay on the terrace after our checkout and helped us get a shuttle to the airport. Would recommend to anyone!

Incredible location, and the most attentive hosts ever. Every question (we had many) was answered quickly and helpfully. And we had everything we needed, and a few extra gifts as well! We had a wonderful time.

Such an incredible stay, we loved every second and were gutted to leave! We had a rough journey and ended up getting to Amalfi really late, Florestano’s daughter Elly came to pick us up and cut vegetables from the garden so we could eat when we arrived. It’s one of those self catering apartments that actually has all the basics covered which always makes a huge difference. Loved the little kitchen, it had everything we needed. The view is incredible, you could just stay in the hills for the day sunbathing, or get a quick bus/ walk down in to Amalfi town (25-30 mins walk via the steps) and enjoy the view. The bus stop is right outside (you need a mask to get on, but not anywhere else), and just keep an eye on the route for the journey home, as it’s dark in the hills and the buses don’t announce which stop it is. If we needed anything we just messaged Elly, she helped us with recommendations and ideas and even dropped us off at the port for our ferry to Naples. Definitely stay here if you can, it’s really special

Florestano’s airbnb is one of the best places we have stayed at. Clean, air conditioned, full amenities, convenient location and the best part is the hospitality. Florestano welcomed us with a Prosecco, kitchen was stocked with butter, milk, eggs and bread. There are beautiful lemon and berry tress and Florestano generously offered us to take the lemons and berries. The view is stunning and the place is just perfect. Would highly recommend this place. I know I’m definitely going back there when I visit Amalfi again!!

We couldn’t of had a better stay in amalfi. Florestano and his daughter Elly were very accommodating and generous hosts. They gave us a lift to and from Amalfi on arrival/departure with all our luggage which helped massively. We were also kindly provided with a welcome pack on arrival which after a long day of travelling was just what we needed. The villa itself is beautiful and is in a great location, a 20 min walk from amalfi but there is an easy bus system which takes you to and from Amalfi if you don’t want to walk up/down the steps. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this stay highly enough!!
