Mountain Rise, Sorrento, Amalfi Coast

Overlooking the stunning Bay of Naples from its luscious hillside setting, Mountain Rise is a gem on Italy’s scenic southern coast. The moment you step foot in this sublime villa, you’ll be wowed by the sweeping views towards the imposing volcano of Vesuvius across the glistening sea. Surrounded by dramatic mountains and the sweeping lush countryside, it’s the perfect peaceful villa escape. Set in a fantastic base for exploring the most vibrant areas of Southern Italy, from the incredible scenery of the Amalfi Coast, chic island of Capri and the fascinating remains of Pompeii at your fingertips. Head down to the coast for a choice of spellbinding beaches and the bustling city of Sorrento, where you can soak up the bustling atmosphere with its cafe terraces, elegant buildings and shops. 

The winding road leading up to the villa is a dream in its own right, passing bustling villages, verdant gardens and glimpses of the azure blue sea below. The outdoor areas will be sure to impress, with glorious Mediterranean garden blooming with fragrant citrus trees, palm trees and exotic flowers. Boasting extensive terraces on each level, you’ll be drawn to the outdoors with its spread of sun loungers and sofas made for unwinding and taking in the picture-perfect panoramas. The dazzling swimming pool has been newly renovated, and is tempting for an afternoon dip under the sunshine to cool off. If breakfast with a view sound like your idea of paradise, head to the rooftop terrace for 360-degree panoramas or one of the many alfresco dining set ups. With an outdoor barbecue and wood-fired oven, you can even try your hand at whipping up your own homemade pizza. 

The striking, whitewashed architecture reflects beautifully against the blue sky, with large windows running along the sides of the villa to illuminate the space with bright natural daylight. The interiors are elegant and stylish, with smooth marble floors, luxurious seating, and decorated with a unique collection of Italian art pieces. The kitchen wows with sleek black cabinetry and a state-of-the-art finish that will be any budding chef’s dream. Each of the four bedrooms is a queen-size, with its own private bathroom and outdoor space. With multiple indoor living and dining areas, there’s enough space for up to ten adults to sit back and relax together.
