House buy in Amalfi Campania

Just outside Praiano, in the beautiful Amalfi Coast, exclusive 277-sqm pieds-dans-l'eau villa with pool and private access to the sea. The property, laid over three floors, can accommodate up to 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.. The building is surrounded by roughly 1,600 sqm of gardens and terraces with pool, private sea access and parking lot (40 sqm). Services are all available in the nearby town of Praiano (3 km) but several cities of the Amalfi Coast and Campania can be reached in less than two hours (Conca dei Marini, Amalfi, Positano, Pompei, Napoli, Caserta). With a Ferry, Capri is no more than an hour away. The closest airport is in Salerno (64km; 1h 30') but the terminals of Naples and Rome are equally convenient as well. The villa (277 sqm, up to 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms), built in the 1960s, is laid over three floors along the slope of the cliff and connected via beautiful stone staircases. - Ground floor: four communicating rooms, currently being restored to create a spacious and bright living hall with access to the outdoor terrace; - First floor: entrance room, kitchen, living room, studio, closet and bathroom. Outside, covering the whole length of the floor, there is a convenient portico (2 m wide) which also provides a convenient outdoor dining area; - Second floor: two suites, each made up of bedroom, sitting room and bathroom. A 25-m well has been carved inside the rocky cliff to install an elevator connecting the parking level with the lower level of the house and the ample terrace. Outside, the villa is surrounded by roughly 1,600 sqm of garden with ample paved terraces. The green areas are planted with tropical and exotic trees (among which an impressive specimen of Sterlitzia Nicolai). The main terrace, paved in stone, houses the 13 × 4 m saltwater swimming pool (irregular in shape, constant depth of 2 m) and is equipped with a filtering system. The solarium terrace is partially covered with a wooden pergola. From the terrace, descending a concrete staircase anchored to the rock, one can reach a concrete platform right on the sea (approximately 7 sqm). The depth of the water in this spot is roughly 5 m, which allows diving into the water or even dock a small boat, providing the villa with nice access directly from the sea. The position in the bay shelters the property from winds and water surges. Right above the villa, along the coastal road, there is a convenient 40-sqm parking area for up to four cars, a rarity for the properties in the Amalfi Coast.
