Once through the gate, your personal vacation paradise opens up: a small path leads you to the house and the approximately 200-square-meter property.
Experience wonderfully relaxing vacation days at Casa dei Limoni, a vacation rental where you can still enjoy the privacy of a vacation home.
3 TERRACES & A DREAMLIKE SEA VIEW
You’ll feel close to the sky on the property’s 3 terraces —perfect for long evenings under the starry skies of southern Italy, for sunbathing on the rooftop terrace, and for outdoor breakfasts.
The private lemon grove and vegetable garden invite you to spend tranquil moments surrounded by the scent of lemons, and on the rooftop terrace, you can enjoy the ever-present view of the sea.
WELCOME TO THE ARTIST’S APARTMENT
Right outside the front door of Casa dei Limoni is the first outdoor gathering spot: a shaded terrace with an artfully tiled bench and a sturdy table for lunch on hot days. The apartment’s entrance leads directly into the kitchen.
Passing through the kitchen, you enter the spacious living/dining room with a sleeper sofa, a working fireplace, and access to the magnificent balcony, which faces directly out to the sea and seems to hover above the piazza of Albori. Here, you can start the day in a relaxed way with a wonderful breakfast.
The light streaming through a domed, tiled ceiling also lends the adjacent bathroom a special charm. The mosaic tiles, crafted in Venice, come from the remaining stock left over from the restoration of Ravello Cathedral, a project in which the owner was involved.
On the left side of the apartment, the kitchen leads to the two bedrooms (each with a double bed; one has a separate toilet), each featuring a French balcony. From the first bedroom, there is access to a small living area with a couch.
PARKING: The vacation rental is located in the winding streets of Albori. A reserved parking space is available (April –October).
