Luxurious Villa Delle Erbe sits within charming terraced gardens that lead right down to the sea in a popular area of the Sorrentine peninsula. The villa’s elevated position opens up panoramic views over the azure waters of the Gulf of Salerno and the Li Galli archipelago. Pretty pebble beaches are just minutes away, with your own private cable car taking you down to the shore in comfort and style.
Enter the villa in style with a lift that takes you from your car to the ground floor of the villa in moments. Cool and refined, the interior of two-storey Villa Delle Erbe has been designed to blend beautifully with the outside space.
The theme of crisp, white walls and soft furnishings of the airy living space flows out onto the terrace with its chic seating and dining areas. Enjoy meals with the terrace doors wide open, inviting the sea breeze in as you eat, or dine al fresco with the stunning scenery as a dreamy backdrop. There’s also a masonry barbecue and wood-burning pizza oven to make meals extra special events.
Five ensuite bedrooms in the villa and a sixth ensuite bedroom in the annexe means up to 12 people can be accommodated in complete comfort. Each bedroom has a soothing look and feel that reflects the overall themes of the villa. Most also offer direct terrace access for starting every morning with idyllic sea views. The bathrooms are just as luxurious, with tastefully selected marine-inspired tones and high quality fittings.
The picturesque gardens offer several areas for simply sitting back and appreciating the sense of peace and tranquility. Centuries-old pine trees growing out of lush lawns create shady spaces to chill out, such as the infinity pool. A swim in the pool will also reward you with the clearest views over the surrounding hillsides and sea. The lawned terraces bordered by typical Mediterranean plants and flowers descend right down to the shore and crystal-clear waters.
As well as having a pebble beach just moments away, the stretch at Marina del Cantone is only a short walk away. Soak up the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere as you recline on sun loungers and enjoy an ice cream.
If you want to get more active, take the scenic walk from here to charming Nerano for a taste of a traditional fishing village. Also enjoy walks through the countryside and by the coast at Massa Lubrense. You’re also likely to come across ancient sites as you walk and hike through this unspoilt part of the Sorrentine peninsula.
History and culture lovers will be keen to explore the town of Sorrento, which is only a 40-minute drive away from the villa. It’s also a great place to pick up some lemon-themed souvenirs and local crafts as you stroll its shop-lined streets.

Location:
You couldn’t be much closer to the sea at Villa Delle Erbe, with your very own private cable car taking you down the hillside right to the shore. A pebble beach awaits you here, with a lido close by with services you can make the most of. A 10-minute walk from the villa will bring you to many beachfront restaurants.
The pebble beach at Marina del Cantone is around five minutes away on foot. Why not make a picnic and head down to this picturesque spot for an afternoon by the sea. You’ll often see fishing boats dotting the beach; giving it a lovely traditional feel. The beach also offers great facilities, with restaurants and plenty of shops and bars selling ice creams, snacks and drinks. You can also hire sun loungers for total relaxation.
Less than five minutes away by car is the fishing village of Nerano. Explore its historic centre and enjoy long walks to pretty beaches and tucked-away coves. Massa Lubrense (11km) also offers beautiful walks, both through the countryside and the coast.
For a full day out, drive around 40 minutes north to the town of Sorrento (17km). Its old town is typically attractive, with lots of churches and other historic buildings. Some of the highlights include the 14th-century church, Chiesa di San Francesco, a monastery, bell tower and cathedral.
Piazzo Tasso is one of the most popular squares in the town, with it being a great place to take a break at a pavement cafe. Then browse the shops selling an array of local crafts and lemon-themed souvenirs. You can go swimming in the sea here despite the shoreline being rather rocky, with platforms under the cliffs providing safe access to the water.
