| Location |
|
|
|
Vico Equense is a pleasant coastal community on the north shore of the Sorrento Peninsula, with very good restaurants and shops - and a wonderful nightlife for teenagers. Although only 1km/0.5 miles, the walk to the village and the train station entails a steep climb. Below the house, and down some fairly steep steps, lies a pebble beach that provides an alternative path to the village. It is a winding 25-minute drive to the ruins at Pompeii or to Sorrento, for the ferry to Capri, and 1 hour to gorgeous hilltop Ravello.

Gli Ulivi's grounds fall from the road leading into Vico Equense to the water's edge. A terrace perched 60 steps above the house offers a spectacular view of the Bay of Naples, with loungers, umbrellas and a private pool, 3 x 4m/10 x 13 feet. Below the house, many steps and a steep path down, is a pebble beach which also provides a pathway to the village.

The village of Vico Equense is a terrific spot for young people and boasts the first pizzeria to sell pizza by the metre. Many steps involved...
