Appartamento Emanuele

Description from the manager

Appartamento Emanuele is part of a romantic historical villa set into a cliff that drops steeply down to the sea. It features a swimming pool filled with sea water, and private access to the sea.

This large villa, about 3 km (2 miles) from Amalfi , is divided into three apartments. Each of them has a splendid balcony, framed by arches and supported by small ancient marble columns. From the balconies you will enjoy an incomparable view of the sea, and the stunning profile of the Amalfi Coast .

During your stay in Appartamento Emanuele, you will be able to relax in the charming garden, full of flowers and adorned with precious ancie...nt statues. The garden consists of a series of terraces that descend towards the sea. On these terraces, you will be able to rest in the shadow of perfumed pergolas of lemons and flowers, while drinking in the breathtaking panorama that spreads out before you. The wide swimming pool, which also boasts a fully-equipped solarium, is dug into the cliff-side close to the sea. A stairway cut into the cliff leads directly to the sea, and to a point where small boats can berth.

It is difficult to describe the beauty of this place: as soon as you step into the garden of the villa, you will find yourself rejuvenated by the clean, ocean-scented air, and overwhelmed by the glistening deep blue sea in front of you and the flower-filled garden all around. As you walk the paths and the stairs of the garden, admiring the ancient statuary and the flowers that spill from well-tended beds, hillside crevices and terracotta urns, you will discover ever more fascinating views of the coast. The ancient style of the buildings, which fit beautifully among the cliff, the sea and the green surroundings, contributes to the unique charm of the place. You will find it difficult to leave, just like so many of the famous people who have stayed here in the past, including Jacqueline Kennedy -- to name just one.

Indeed, beyond its matchless beauty, the villa is part of an historical area of huge significance for the Coast of Amalfi. In this large park, situated between the state road and the sea, a few buildings are cleverly set into the green slopes of the rocky coast, and partly built into the cliff itself. The most ancient building here is the twelfth-century watchtower, which was originally a hunting and fishing pavilion of the Princes of Marsiconovo, the Barons of Campagna. The Tower, which accommodates an apartment-museum, has hosted the last sovereigns of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele III and Queen Elena, and guests such as Jacqueline Kennedy and many other famous personages. The owner is Prince Don Luigi d'Angerio of Saint Agata, who combines the exquisite hospitality that he offers to the personalities that converge from all over the world with his passion for interior decoration. Thanks to this passion, not only the old tower but also the other buildings and the garden are furnished with precious antique pieces.

Appartamento Emanuele, about 100 square meters large (1075 square feet), occupies the lower floor of the villa. At the entrance there is a porch with tables and chairs, and an area of the garden equipped for outdoor relaxation. A short path through the garden leads to the swimming pool and solarium, and to the point of access to the sea below. The apartment, which is furnished throughout with authentic antique furniture, paintings and lamps, has three bedrooms, each of them with a double bed. The bedrooms are decorated with romantic antique beds made of lacquered iron. The apartment also offers a spacious living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The living room is connected to a loggia perched directly above the sea, where the spectacular view is framed by marble columns.

The kitchen is new and fully functional, equipped with a refrigerator, a 4-burner stove and a hood fan. The bathroom has a shower. The majolica floors of Appartamento Emanuele have been crafted and hand-painted by local artisans. The apartment has a phone connection to the reception area of the villa. The price includes daily cleaning, linen and towels as needed, access to the sea, use of the swimming pool (open from May to October) and use of the guarded parking space.

  Visit to Paradise

  The location and history of this Villa are unparalleled. It is sooo beautifully placed and the grounds are a total delight. It makes you just want to hunker down and stay put. Dominique was very helpful and having a private parking space essential. Even the days it stormed we loved the Villa. I just hope I can return someday.
  There are a lot of steps but it is worth it. I would recommend this location to anyone. In fact I am already suggesting it to people I know.

  Fantastic property

  Left on 07/17/2011 for a stay in June 2011
  
  

  Apartment Emanuele is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment which is part of Villa Scarpariello. The villa is situated about 1 mile from the town of amalfi, directly on the ocean and has many other apartments as well. The staff is friendly and the property is even more beautiful in person than the internet pictures. As with the rest of the amalfi coast…stairs are everywhere so be prepared to walk up and down hundreds! I definitely recommend a car if you stay here and the property has off street parking which under constant video surveillance and locked late at night. We stayed in June with 6 people and had a fantastic time exploring the amalfi Coast. If you do go, make sure to see Ravello…I highly recommend a summer evening outdoor classical concert.

  Living the dream !

  Left on 06/17/2009 for a stay in July 2008
  
  

  We had a wonderful week at Appartamento Emanuele, the views were stunning as anticipated & the weather was glorious.
  The surrounding gardens were beautiful & the place had a tranquil & relaxing atmosphere.
  Dominic [ a member of staff ] was very helpful & friendly,he tendered the gardens every morning with loving care & managed to water my unsuspecting mother in law as well as the plants !
  The accomodation was comfortable but the kitchen was tiny & typically ill equipped with no stove or kettle. We knew this in advance, as we read the reviews of the property, so we were prepared. We managed to cater well despite the kitchen.
  What sold the venue to us was the location & views which did not disappoint.
  We spent most of the time jumping in the sea & relaxing by the pool.
  Italy is the most beautiful place.
  We booked with `Summer in Italy` beause the website was eye catching & easy to negotiate & we have no regrets because it all went very smoothly.
  I would recommend them to friends and family.
