General

Like being on top of the world, that’s the impression from the poolside at Casa Solaria. But what a world - vast 360 degree panoramic views of Capri, Ischia, Vesuvius and the deep blue of the Gulf of Naples. A world of silvery green olive groves, pine trees and fruit orchards, mainly lemons, all cascading down to the sea. And a world of sunny days lounging around, topping up the tan, in the grassy solarium area from which the house takes its name. Located on high in the Limonaia Estate, nearly at the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula, we are close, 4kms from essential shops, banks and chemists of Massalubrense - don’t miss the beautiful 18th century majolica flooring in the Santa Maria delle Grazie church in Piazza Vescovado.

Location

The house is split into three: the first floor comprises the owner’s apartment plus two other small apartments for rental. A steep windy road leads up to the property through olive groves. To the rear is a lovely shaded patio area with barbecue and garden of lawn, all private, with a low hedge over which there are marvellous views of Capri. A short path then steps up one floor to the enormous furnished 12 x 8m swimming pool, that is also for use by the other two apartments, and which has those gorgeous panoramic views. Another short flight of steps up to the furnished solarium area with views and a background of olive and lemon trees. The apartment has high ceilings and is cool and well furnished. The sitting room is air-conditioned and is payable locally.
