Villa Jamila

Location and Surrounding Area

Located near Ravello, this elegant four-bedroom villa is the perfect place for a stylish break on one of the most famous stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean. If Positano is the glamour-puss of the Amalfi Coast, Ravello is its refined, aristocratic cousin. Nestled high on a hill above the sea, Ravello is famous for its secluded villas, ravishing gardens, magnificent views and romantic sense of faded glory have inspired a steady stream of writers, artists and musicians since the days of the Grand Tour.

Ancient Reginna Minori and Maiori are now two popular seaside resorts with a long and noble history. Minori, where the Amalfi Maritime Republic arsenals were situated, dates back to Roman times. Near the seafront is the basilica of Santa Trofimena, built in the 12th-13th centuries and then rebuilt in the 1800s. The church houses the relics of the ancient patron saint of the town, Santa Trofimena, in an elaborate altar in the crypt.

Maiori is like an amphithetre at the end of Tramonti valley. It was founded in the 9th century but is today a modern town, rebuilt after a flood in 1954. The fine beaches and good bathing facilities have made it one of the most visited towns on the coast. The 18th-century campanile on 12th-century Santa Maria a Mare towers over the Maior stream. After the lovely beach of Erchie, Cetara was the easternmost possession of Amalfi.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Positano. The town climbs the hills in steps, with the oldest houses in the upper part of Positano, either faded red or pink, decorated with Baroque stuccoes. Via Pasitea, the traffic-free street going down to the sea, penetrates the atmospheric heart of the town with its narrow stepped alleys, houses with vaulted roofs, terraces and tiny gardens that defy the rock. The bright colored articles Positano is famous for, on display outside the shops, blend well with the pastel-colored houses.

The villa is a few kilometers from Vietri sul Mare, famous for its ceramics. The majolica-decorated dome and bell tower of San Giovanni Battista have almost come to symbolize this town overlooking the Bay of Salerno. Cooking utensils, plates, vases and tiles have been made here since the 1400s. In the mid-18th century, Vietri sul Mare became known as the majolica-makers’ district. The most original items made were the tiles painted with religious themes, which you can still see in streets, private homes and churches.
