Villa Elle is set in the heart of the fashionable town of Sorrento and has a modern architectural style and spacious indoor areas, designed to compliment the large reception room and dining room. The full-length windows in the living areas ensure that the daylight is diffused throughout the roomy spaces, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
The villa was built in 1970 and was selected, furnished and personalised using the collection of precious furnishings belonging to Count M. Caracciolo, the descendent of a prestigious and noble Neapolitan family, who decided to move to Sorrento, the "Terra delle Sirene" or "Land of Sirens".
Sorrento is situated on the top of an impressive cliff overlooking the sea. For many years it has been the destination of aristocratic Italian and international families who traditionally come here to enjoy the climate and beautiful landscapes of this generous land.
Over the years, Villa Elle has been updated and is now the perfect holiday villa. It boasts a fantastic 6m x 2m private swimming pool, WIFI and air conditioning.
