VILLA AMALIA is situated in the town of Cava de’ Tirreni 23 miles from international airport of Naples and 10 Miles from Salerno airport .
Here in Cava you are surrounded by a green country-side and the nearly sea. The bright green of its valley was very much admired by the Romans who founded here a summer residence built by the Metello’s family.
The old Villa Amalia was built in the 17th century by Prince Martin in Cava de’ TIrreni; it is located in a privileged position on the Amalfi Coast in the most typical and charming hamlet of the town called “Rotolo”.as a wonderful balcony overlooking the most charming Italian sea. The name “Rotolo”comes from the idea of the sun that “rolls” over the hamlet from dawn to setting .
The wide and romantic view on the Amalfi Coast, its pleasant microclimate, attracted, in pre-Renaissance time, the Neapolitan aristocracy that built the most representative summer villas in this hamlet You can reach the villa from town by a half mile lay road that winds up over looking an emerald sea and the Lattari mountain’s peaks under a row of secular plan-trees.Villa Amalia is built on three levels for one total internal surface of meters square 600.
On the ground floor to which you can access from the municipal road there are :a wide entrance, a drawing-room-study with rear antique wine cellar and a play room with a billiard and flippers.
A marble staircase leads up to the first floor or, through the villa’s park, where you can park 3 cars; it has a bedroom with access to the swimmingpool, the main hall in Rose Portuguese marble and a Crystalline of Greece made precious by zecchino gold putties; a characteristic bath made in baked, brass and porcelain, a wide kitchen furnished with ceramics and wood massello, with annexed bath and larder, all enriched by a great fireplace.
From the inside, thanks to a wide suspended staircase, in the main central hall, you reach the second floor, or from the upper terraces served by an arc staircase, that soars high above the swimmingpool. The second floor has four bedrooms furnished in 18 century style, complete of four inner baths and two large terraces with a fantastic sight on the Amalfi coast.
The external spaces of Villa Amalia offers guests an atmosphere of unique beauty.
The paths are paved with light grey marble and in the park you can admire a variety of century old exotic cicas trees offering a riot of colours and smells. The water of the large swimming-pool has the colour of the sea because it is wholly made of white marble.
Villa Amalia rooms have got wooden arch doors and the walls are warm and bright coloured with 17th century old stuccos. In the hall there are a variety of 17th century old frames finely decorated with pure gold leaves. These precious details with 17th century old pieces of furniture, the lighting mainly consisting of old candelabra, the precious 17th century old paintings make “Villa Amalia” a unique tourist structure which can be their ideal accommodation for the most demanding guests.
In Villa Amalia, while breathing the breeze of the sea, you feel as having left at home all anxieties and finding yourself in a silent comfortable and timeless atmosphere where everything seems to belong to a fantastic dream.

"We would definitely recommend this property , very nice and very relaxing . We spent a week in August with 3 families and we all appreciated our stay . We had some very nice experiences (and all was very easy to do from the Villa):rent a boat to discover the marvellous Amalfitan coast and Capri (one day/ each visit), go to Pompei , go for shopping in Cava, have dinners in some goods restaurants in Vietri and Cava with pizza ,pastas and fish not expensive at all !Also we can talk about the hospital accomodation which was very good (one of our child had problem with his ears and we went to the hospital which is not far away from the Villa). Special thanks to Antonio and Carlo for the welcome and also to Christian who was very helpful during all the week ,working hard to make our stay very pleasant.
