Villa for four with jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen, glorious coastal views and direct access to the iconic Sentiero delle Sirenuse trail in Massa Lubrense
Breathe in the heady scent of citrus groves and gaze out over the olive groves and terraced hillsides that slope down to the sea from this charming two-bedroom villa on the Sorrento peninsula. Situated just 700m from the village of Torca, you’ll be in prime position for exploring the landscape of the southern side of the Sorrento peninsula on foot along the circular Sentiero delle Sirenuse, which passes close to the villa.
With a wonderful private garden that plunges you straight into the vivid blues and greens of this favourite stretch of Italian coastline, you may be reluctant to spend time inside. Directly outside the villa, alfresco dining takes on a whole new meaning on the covered sea-view terrace, where a fabulous tiled outdoor kitchen with barbecue, sink and hob takes the heat out of self-catering. Several shady lawns and terraces, one with a jacuzzi and sunloungers, provide welcome spaces to soak up the sunshine and the view. Access to the laundry room is from the terrace.
Extending over 120m², the interior of the villa is extremely comfortable for a family of four and, with each bedroom on a separate floor, also a good choice for two couples looking for additional privacy. The villa is attractively furnished, with terracotta flooring, original stone walls and a ground floor that comprises a living room and dining room. From the dining room, a door leads out to the terrace, and an archway leads to the traditionally tiled kitchen. The ground floor also features a guest bathroom.
An internal staircase (17 steps) leads from the ground floor to the first floor and to the first bedroom and bathroom. From here, a spiral staircase (12 steps) leads to an upper floor where you’ll find a second bedroom and bathroom, a dressing room and a private terrace with heavenly sea views.

Escape the Amalfi Coast crowds and explore one of the prettiest parts of the Sorrento peninsula on foot
• Parking: the immediate area around the villa is characterised by scenic narrow lanes which are unsuitable for cars. Although there is no parking directly outside the villa, guests can leave the car in a private garage 700m away (free). A complimentary luggage transfer service is available on arrival/departure. Whilst we recommend car rental to reach the villa, renting scooters or travelling on the local SITA bus network is the best way to get around.
• Nature and hiking: the surrounding area is a walker’s paradise. At Villa Ambra, you can step straight out onto the 9km long Sentiero delle Sirenuse and follow it in either direction along the southern side of the Sorrento Peninsula. Stroll along meandering pathways through the Mediterranean scrub and pine forests, past olive groves, vegetable patches and picture-postcard villages, and enjoy mesmerising views of the Amalfi Coast, the island of Capri and the Li Galli Islands. You can also head west to the far tip of the peninsula and the walking trails around Punta Campanella and the Bay of Ieranto.
• Gastronomic experiences: while an outdoor kitchen and your own private sea view make it more of an effort to venture out in the evening, it’s definitely worth at least one visit to the Michelin-starred restaurants in nearby Nerano and Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi.
• The Amalfi Coast and surrounding area are one of the world’s most popular tourist spots for good reason, so we always recommend booking your holiday in May, June or September if you can. If that’s not possible, you’ll certainly avoid some of the crowds by staying in this exceptionally tranquil location.
