Designer Villa With A Pool By The Sea Of The Amalfi Coast

This extraordinary, truly unique designer villa is nestled in the heart of the Amalfi Coast. Designed by the illustrious architect Gae Aulenti in 1972, the property unfolds from the road to the sea, offering a rare combination of luxury and authentic contact with nature. The villa offers 500 sqm of interior space, distributed on 2 levels, where each room offers incredible views of the sea. The 1,000-sqm outdoor area includes a direct descent to the sea and houses an unrivalled panoramic swimming pool that disappears into a natural grotto. Here, a ‘secret’ wellness area with a lounge, a whirlpool and a sauna finds cool shelter.

The Amalfi Coast is famous for its spectacular landscapes, picturesque villages overlooking a fabulous sea, criss-crossed by myriads of winding scenic roads, where one can savour delicious culinary specialities based on fresh fish and local produce. This villa for sale enjoys a privileged location that makes it easy to explore the towns of Amalfi, Positano and Ravello, each with its own distinctive character and wonders. 

The villa is an authentic masterpiece of design, conceived by Gae Aulenti in the late 1970s, who expresses all his modernist genius here. Spread over three levels, the villa opens onto an imposing hall with vaulted ceilings. Arched openings and intricate hand-painted majolica details are a tribute to the Moorish style typical of these lands. Downstairs, the kitchen boasts a big window that opens onto a large terrace, the centre of gravity of the house. The dining room, both indoors and outdoors, offers incredible views of the rocky outline of the Coast. The sleeping area consists of a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and panoramic terrace, and a second bedroom with a bathroom, equally panoramic. More independent suites are offered as annexes on different levels. Prominent among these is one with large arched panoramic windows. Here, the boundary between land and sea dissolves and you are flooded with a feeling of pure energy and freedom.

The property includes a 1,000-sqm outdoor area that descends, through panoramic terraces, paths and gardens, to the sea. The swimming pool is a truly unique piece. For most of its size, it extends outdoors, letting the sun kiss it and offering a marvellous view, it finally seems to retreat into the shelter of a natural grotto, offering a secret refuge of indescribable beauty. Inside the grotto, in fact, an oasis of pure wellness opens up, with a cool designer lounge with an exclusive bar area, a second whirlpool tub and a sauna. If all this were not enough, to fully enjoy the magic of the Coast, all you have to do is walk a few more steps to reach the sea and enjoy a dip or a boat trip. Two convenient garages accessible from the main road complete the property.

Buying this villa means taking possession of a true piece of paradise. The combination of refined design, modern comforts and exclusive location makes this property a unique jewel, where one can enjoy one's privacy in a spectacular natural setting just a stone's throw from the most famous resorts of the Amalfi Coast. Perfect for those seeking the best of the Mediterranean dolce vita.
