Description Casale La Torre is an ideal holiday rental for families or groups of friends looking for peace and quiet, but also for proximity to seaside and to major attractions such as Capri, Positano, Sorrento, Pompeii. The lovely hill villages of the Sorrento Peninsula largely follow the farming and fishing traditions of earlier generations and the distant crowing of the roosters and peel of church bells are as important for the locals today as for their forebears. The villa is built on two terraced levels of land and has been converted into three apartments, each with a separate entrance and outdoor space. On the lower level, extensive lawned areas and gardens wind around two sides of the villa and expand onto a small promontory where there is a large swimming pool and solarium with enviable 270° views over the sea and hills of the area. Accommodation Two of the apartments are reached from footpaths on the lower level, whilst a winding footpath, slightly uphill, leads to the second level apartment (Primula) which has its own courtyard and panoramic rooftop terrace. The units are decorated with colour wash in rich tones of coral, green and primrose yellow. They are furnished with a mix of restored antique pieces, country and ethnic furniture; lovely prints and colourful soft furnishings add to the cheering feel of the house.

This locality
As the road winds out along the coast road from Sorrento, one can tangibly feel that they are leaving the city way of life behind. Local farmers (contadini) with their three wheeled Ape Utes tend the olive plantations that string along the rocky hillsides and every now and again the bushes open up to the stretches of blue sea and sights of Capri and the other islands in the Bay of Naples.> more

Nearby localities
Situated approximately 14 km from Sorrento, the Nerano locality is a primarily agricultural/fishing community which in bygone centuries had little to do with its neighbouring areas. Blessed by a pleasant climate, wonderful outlook and steep sun drenched descent towards the sea it was the enclave of a small number of families who handed down their interests from generation to generation. Even today it is possible to recognise a strong concentration of the family surnames.> more
Postcard views of Sorrento often concentrate on the impressive cliffs of volcanic rock (tufa) that run down along the coast in this area and plunge perilously into the sea. These cliffs and the wonderfully rich volcanic soils of the area provide wonderful opportunities for spectacular views from panoramic gardens which feature in this area of Italy.> more
