Giardino sul Mare is located near the head of the Cape on the Sorrento Peninsula - roughly halfway between Positano on the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri - in the middle of a nature reserve. It belongs to the town of Nerano-Marina del Cantone.
The spacious terraces in front of the house offer spectacular views over the magnificent sea and the Siren Islands. The entire property covers a size of 2500 square meters. The over 300 year old house, built in a Moorish style, is embedded in a large garden and olive grove. It nestles against a monolithic rock that forms part of the back wall of the house. The extraordinary beauty and romance of its location is unique. It is a place for people who want to enjoy privacy in the midst of beautiful nature after the diverse offers in the region and exciting day experiences.
However, the small village of Nerano is in close proximity - it takes about 5 minutes on foot to reach the two grocery stores and the coffee bar in the piazza, as well as parking lots and the bus stop, and another 3 minutes to the nearest restaurant.
It takes about 5 minutes by car from the village square to get to the main beach of Marina del Cantone. In addition to sunbathing on the beach, it is recommended to rent a boat to discover the bays, beaches and grottos on the left and right of the main beach (Mortelle and Ieranto on the right, Recommone on the left).
There are e.g. B. a beautiful footpath - starting at the left end of the main beach to the wonderful Recommone Bay (15-20 minutes). To get to Ieranto Bay, first take the path from the village that leads to the house. Instead of turning right to the house, you just follow the path straight ahead. It is a short hike (45 min.) Down to the Ieranto beach, where you can also cross an ancient olive grove. There is also a farmhouse preserved in its original state. On the way you can see the island of Capri on the right hand side and further views of great beauty in every direction - unforgettable impressions for many people. There are countless opportunities for hikers in this coastal region.
The path to the house has some medium-steep sections through the area. You don't have to be a tried and tested hiker, but a good and safe pedestrian. If help with the transportation of luggage is desired, this can be arranged.
In the dark, there is good lighting around the house and garden, the communal walkway to the house is not lit at the moment. We are in contact with the community so that the path can soon be illuminated and made even more comfortable.
For this reason, check-in is flexible, but must take place before sunset. Flashlights are useful for evening exits: you will find some of them in the house. Please note: The house roof has - as is often the case in the Mediterranean region - no railings. Do not enter. Violation is at your own risk.
