Villa Bellavista is a charming historic residence perched among lemon groves and terraced vineyards in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, in a truly dramatic position sheer above the sea. From here, your gaze embraces the blue waters of Amalfi and rests directly in front of the famous natural arch known as the “Arch of Love”, iconic for having been featured for years in advertisements for Baci Perugina chocolates.
A Place with an Ancient Soul
The property was built in the early 18th century, following a style that was widespread at the time, characterized by barrel vaults. Originally, it served as a panoramic watchtower nestled among lemon terraces. In 1875, after the nearby Church of Lone was abandoned, the tower was transformed into a Sacred Chapel to house the Madonna of Lone until the early 1900s. During that time, the first decorative frescoes were painted on the vaulted ceilings, still visible today.
In the early 1920s, the chapel was converted into a private residence. In 2010, major restoration works were carried out by the current owner: the historic “tower,” with its impressive 160 cm thick wall, was transformed into a luxurious bathroom while preserving the original decorative elements. Adjacent to it is a frescoed bedroom, enhanced by the original painting of the Madonna that once stood in the old chapel.
Fully renovated in 2019, Villa Bellavista is now a luxury villa accommodating up to 10 guests, perfect for those seeking a holiday immersed in history, comfort, and nature.
The villa is accessed via 104 comfortable steps from the coastal road.
