Charme and relax in Sorrento peninsula: a 1600th monastery transformed in an charming manor house. The whole place could be a setting for a Fellini film. Enthralling view over Sorrento coast. Excellently located for Sorrento (10 km), Pompei (22km) and Amalfi coast (16 km)
It is difficult to imagine to be a few km from Sorrento (km 10), Pompei (km 22) and the Amalfi coast (km 20) and at the same time away from crowds and traffic, but all doubts are washed away as you are approaching Astapiana Villa Giusso. Suspended between sky and sea, this charming, 16th century, dwelling, once a monastery, so full of past reminders...but present, suggests to return in peace with oneself and others, throughout the contemplation of nature and the discovery of agricultural life. In 1822, the property was bought by Luigi Giusso, duke of Galdo, the present owner’s ancestor. Now Erminia and Giovanna invite you to experience their hospitality and the beauty and fascination of this historical site. A welcome drink await for you on the stone terrace: from this point the view is absolutely mesmerising: Ischia, The Vesuvius and the bay of Naples, against an amazing sunset. The bedrooms are full of romance with original iron-beds and 18th century furnishings. You may breakfast on fresh ricotta, fruits and home made cakes in the majestic kitchen with the original ceramic tiles and large fireplace. Dinner is also available on demand. If you are looking for something different, Villa Giusso is the answer: don’t miss this unique and relaxing opportunity to travel back in time !
