About this property
Tucked away in the heart of Sorrento, Villa Ricciola is a captivating city retreat where modern comfort meets classic Italian charm. Step through the gates and down into the private courtyard, where terracotta tiles lead to the entrance veranda, bright, welcoming, and perfectly framed by palms and stone walls. Inside, the open-plan living area immediately sets the tone: cool tiled floors, crystal chandeliers, and elegant furnishings that blend timeless style with a sense of home. From here, wander towards the spacious kitchen, where sunlight filters through wide windows onto sleek countertops and an inviting dining table, a place for leisurely breakfasts before heading out to explore the coast. Beyond, the patio opens up for alfresco meals beside the small private pool, a tranquil oasis hidden within the city.
Descending to the lower floor, the villa’s private spa feels like a secret sanctuary: a heated Jacuzzi sunk into pale stone, a sauna glowing softly behind timber doors, and a calm fitness area designed for unwinding. Upstairs, beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, invite restful evenings. At the top, the terrace opens to a breathtaking panorama, the rooftops of Sorrento giving way to the shimmer of the sea beyond.
Villa Ricciola enjoys a prime position in the centre of Sorrento, one of Italy’s most enchanting coastal towns. Everything is within easy reach, from the lively Marina Grande to charming cafés, artisan shops, and the bustling Piazza Tasso. Guests can stroll to local restaurants within minutes or take a short drive to the beaches of La Marinella (2km) and Marina Grande (3km).
Sorrento’s strategic location makes it an ideal base for exploring the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Capri, and Naples. Whether you’re visiting lemon groves, tasting limoncello, or cruising along the coastline, every experience is infused with southern Italian warmth and beauty. The town’s train station, just 1km away, offers convenient connections, while Capodichino International Airport in Naples is about 50km from the villa.
