Description Scenic Cove: Vico Equense

Perched on a hillside and surrounded by lemon groves, this villa is perfectly positioned to explore the Amalfi Coast. The contemporary interiors are comfortable and welcoming but it's the exteriors that we really love. In addition to the private swimming pool and garden, there's a sprawling roof terrace that enjoys sweeping views of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius beyond. We think the vistas are best enjoyed from the hot tub. There's also a shaded dining area for enjoying tasty Italian meals alfresco – cooked in the wood-fire pizza oven – and there's even a private bar. The home is so well equipped that you might never leave but if you do decide to explore then Sorrento, Positano and Pompeii are all within easy reach.

Home truths:
*Breakfast is included here and there is an honesty bar for you to use.

*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot.
