Private residences: four addresses to inspire
The legendary islands of Ischia and Capri, the steep landscapes of Positano and Sorrento, Naples and its treasure-filled bay...
By Nadia Hamam
Four addresses to experience the endless summer of the Amalfi Coast.
Private Beach Club: Hotel Le Agavi, Positano
Aperol Spritz, sailing boats, dreamlike gardens… The magic of the Amalfi Coast is irresistible when seen from this exceptional hotel perched on the cliffs. From its harmonious terraces, the love story between sky and sea unfolds before your eyes.
Another gem, this one blue, stands out in this stunning natural setting: the large outdoor pool, perfect to pair with a treatment at the spa. Delight awaits at La Serra and Le Remmese, two table remarquables led with finesse by Michelin-starred chef Luigi Tramontano. Guests can also enjoy a private beach, accessible by funicular. An oasis of calm and beauty in the heart of Positano.
WE LOVE the shuttle bus that takes customers to the city centre in just five minutes flat.

Grand Hotel Angiolieri, Seiano: For spectacular views of Naples Bay and Vesuvius
Near Sorrento, this former Roman villa, later converted into a convent, was once the preffered destination of young English aristocrats during their Grand Tour of Europe.
Fully renovated, it has once again become an extraordinary balcony over the sea, offering guests breathtaking views. Its 44 rooms are bright and elegant. Dining options include the L’Accanto restaurant and L’A Bar, where aperitivo is served in a tradi-chic style. Extend your stay beside the infinity pool, for moments suspended between sky and sea. A true taste of Italian hospitality.
DON’T MISS: the Stabian Baths in Castellammare di Stabia, the hidden paradise of Massa Lubrense, Positano, Sorrento, Ravello, Amalfi, the beautiful beaches of Maiori and Minori, and of course Pompeii, about 20 kilometres away.

THE ZAGARA-CASA MARIANTONIA, IN CAPRI, FOR ITS TERRACE UNDER THE LEMON TREES
A shaded atmosphere during the day. A refreshing citrus scent when night falls. Casa Mariantonia invites you to enjoy a unique gourmet experience in the heart of authentic Anacapri. Under its lemon tree terrace, La Zagara restaurant creates delicate harmonies between the precious orchard and richly Mediterranean cuisine.
Taglioni pasta with lemon tuna tartare and bottarga, lemon and white chocolate parfait… Capri’s citrus fruits shine in every course, from starters to desserts, infusing each sun-kissed dish with tangy, vibrant flavours. The meal ends with a glass of limoncello, which, according to legend, was first made here by Mariantonia, the great-grandmother who transformed a 19th-century residence into today’s boutique hotel, home to nine discreet rooms and suites.
WE LOVE the wine bar for pre-dinner drinks.

THE LUXURY VILLA EXCELSIOR PARCO, IN CAPRI, FOR AN ART NOUVEAU ATMOSPHERE
This splendid Liberty-style residence is the fruit of a touching family saga that spanned the 20th century. Valerio Paone, today’s manager, welcomes guests to the hotel and restaurant, which consistently ranks among the best in Europe and the world for service.
With personalised check-in, breathtaking sea views, and a warm welcome where every detail is thoughtfully curated, this is a top destination for birthdays and honeymoons. The twelve rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. The menu features only organic and locally sourced ingredients. Guests can enjoy a range of services, including boat trips to Gozo, private boat hire, and an electric shuttle for exploring the port or town.
WE LOVE the new outdoor pool, modern, ozone-treated and perfectly blended into the architecture of the hotel.
Via Marina Grande, 179, 80073 Capri (NA)

The Dordogne, from a different perspective. Here, you won't be guided by crowds, but by forgotten cliffs, peaceful panoramas, hidden paths and villages suspended in time. A region to experience off the beaten track, out of season, far from the clichés.
