Waking up each morning to spectacular views of the Amalfi Coast hills and the sea is a joy, which is why staying at Villa Almeida is a splendid idea.
Nestled between the ravishing towns of Amalfi and Ravello, you are perfectly placed to make the most of this stunning UNESCO World Heritage site. Walk down to the whitewashed cluster of buildings in Amalfi for an aperitif, or take a drive up to Ravello for majestic mountaintop views and a slap-up Italian feast.
Boasting such an envious position, let's start with the exterior of this lovely villa.
Five levels of terraces adorned with pretty flowers - some shaded by pergolas or trees, others made to appreciate the full sun-drenched experience, offer up those iconic views. As does the panoramic pool, where you can enjoy some good old-fashioned family fun. Or, go for a sunset dip before a seasonal Italian supper, whipped up in the stylish kitchen.
Enter Villa Almeida and you'll see it's not all about the views, though they're hard to ignore. Bright and airy rooms that blend contemporary "Gio Ponti" inspired design and Mediterranean styles are both chic and luxurious, featuring plump sofas and armchairs dotted around for you to fully relax in. A lovely wooden dining table complete with elegant chairs awaits you - perfect for dishing up those succulent Italian suppers. Just don't forget to include some famous Amalfi lemons.
There are four elegant bedrooms, sleeping up to nine people - each one elegant and minimalist, and many with accents of blue in the artwork and ceramics. All have access to a terrace, one of the rooms is a twin, and one of the doubles has an extra sofa bed in, so plenty of options for family and friends.
And if you're in need of extra TLC, make your way to the wellness area where you'll discover a spa, sauna and steam room - all those little extras that make this ultra-glam villa even more enticing.
Villa Almeida is stylish, elegant and perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of what the stunning region of Campania has to offer. Relish in the romantic Sorrento area, the jaw-dropping Amalfi Coast, the glamorous island of Capri and its more rustic neighbour Ischia, the legendary Pompei and finally...make sure you grab a pizza in Naples. According to the Michelin guide, it's the best place to get them.

Location:
Looking for a view that demands attention? Vistas that are postcard perfection? You're in luck - there's plenty of them in Campania - the stretch of coastline along the Tyrrhenian Sea in southern Italy.
Pastel-hued villages cling to cliffs, spectacular panoramas of sun-dappled seas are ubiquitous, decadent palaces and beautiful lemon groves, for which the region is renowned, abound. It's an eye-popping region, that's for sure.
So, take your time in ambling around Sorrento's Baroque and Renaissance centre, shop for limoncello or the iconic lemon-motif ceramics, dine at one of the many delightful restaurants and bars, visit a Romanesque Church or just relax, soaking up the seductive coastal atmosphere. For a real show-stopper, why not head on over to the Amalfi Coast.
As you navigate the 'road of a thousand bends' - surely one of the most picturesque drives you'll experience, discover pretty Positano with its majolica-tiled church and winding streets bursting with shops and cafes, romantic Ravello producing magnificent mountaintop views and Amalfi with its cluster of whitewashed buildings and lovely piazzas.
Or, for all the culture vultures, why not head to Pompeii or Herculaneum for the day to visit the perfectly-preserved cities engulfed by volcanic ashes when Mount Vesuvius erupted. An epic sight, and the tours are truly fantastic.
Romantic, seductive and cinematic, a trip to this stunning region is one you'll be telling all your friends about for years to come...
