Villa Lara Amalfi - Amalfi Coast

Villa Lara boasts a fabulous position overlooking the historic center of Amalfi, the enchanting town after which Italy's legendary Amalfi Coast was named. The villa, which dates back to the late 19th century, was once the residence of Baron Pierre Beauchamp. Surrounded by sweet smelling lemon trees and colourful bougainvillea, Villa Lara has been transformed in charming holiday home just moments away from the vibrant historic center of the ancient Maritime Republic.

An elevator carved in to the rock links Villa Lara with the center of Amalfi. The interiors of the villa are typically Mediterranean - with graceful cross vaults and pavements in majolica. The beautifully appointed bedrooms feature a stylish combination of classic and contemporary furnishings, together with all the comforts today's traveller might require. A number of rooms have their own private terrace.

A fabulous coastal retreat, from the terraces of Villa Lara a breathtaking view can be enjoyed, of the center of Amalfi, the Valle dei Mulini, where the town's ancient paper mills were once situated, and in the distance, the sea of the Amalfi Coast.
