AMALFI COAST
If you are looking to experience the dolce vita – a luxurious, self-indulgent way of life – on the Amalfi Coast, the well-appointed two-floor Villa Gonda is the place for you: take in stunning sea views, treat yourself to comfortable and stylish interiors, and enjoy chic outdoor living! The villa is directly reachable from the private parking area, a very rare characteristic along the cliffy coast, where guests generally need to climb many steps. Once inside the villa, guests have the use of its internal elevator. The pebble beach below the villa can be accessed by the villa’s own private cable-car, as well as by foot over stone stairs. Located near a quaint fishing village frequented by locals, Villa Gonda also happens to be set in one of the densest starred-restaurant areas, making this villa an ideal starting point for foodie guests in search of the ultimate flavor!
