Le Balconie

A superbly restored house, where typically tiled floors add colour and character to contemporary design, Villa Le Balconie is tiered into the hillside, with both a lift and a staircase linking the three floors. Entry to the villa is on the upper level, where a spacious sitting room opens out to a broad terrace, gazing across the water to Capri. One of the bedrooms is also at this level, the other three occupying the floor below and sharing a long balcony overlooking the bay. All are styled with calm, uncluttered elegance, and each has its own bathroom, the master double enjoying en suite facilities. Most of the social space is at ground level, a lovely country kitchen serving a large living/dining room, with double doors to a beautiful terrace. Furnished for dining and relaxing, and complete with barbecue and pizza oven, the terrace accesses the garden and gorgeous swimming pool, with its waterfall shower, hydro-massage corner, sun-bathing area and, of course, sea views. About 1km from a bar, restaurant and shops in the village of Massa Lubrense, the villa is 100m from a beach with beds and brollies for rental, and 5km from Sorrento.
