Located in the picturesque village of Marina di Albori, just a few kilometers from Vietri sul Mare, Villa Wright provides the perfect retreat for those seeking complete privacy and relaxation in one of the most evocative corners on the Amalfi Coast. Trapped between an infinite blue sky and azure sea, the spectacular cliff-top setting of this ancient tower ensures superb panoramas. Offering an elegant atmosphere and panoramic views, Torre di Albori can accommodate up to twelve guests featuring six double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom spread over three levels.

With spacious terraces and generous gardens overlooking the sea, this magnificent villa boasts an exceptional swimming pool and a poolside area equipped with comfortable sun loungers inviting guests to sit back and unwind. Accessed from the garden by three large glass doors, the property also boasts a winter garden featuring an exceptional home theater, comfortable sofas and an exclusive pool table. Outside, you will find an spacious al fresco dining area with a large table. From the garden, through a private descent, guests have direct access to the public beach below. Near the beach you will find a newly-built private sundeck furnished with comfortable sun loungers in the shade of a pergola.

Flooded with light, the main level of the villa boasts an open-plan living and dining area complete with comfortable sofas and an elegant fireplace, a small lounge, a modern kitchen and a bathroom. Built in the 16th century, the main level houses two spacious double bedrooms featuring en-suite bathroom with shower. Both bedrooms have access to a spacious panoramic terrace overlooking the sea and an exclusive bar area, the perfect setting for romantic evenings under the stars.

On the second level you will find an elegant double bedroom with terrace and en-suite bathroom with shower, a long corridor filled with books, and a double bedroom featuring en-suite bathroom with large shower. Both bedrooms have access to a terrace with panoramic views of the sea. On the level below the living area, among lemon trees and views of the blue sea, in the so-called “polveriera” you will find two more bedrooms with independent entrance and en-suite bathroom with shower. One of them also features a small private terrace.

The Tower’s timeless charm is complete with all the comforts and conveniences of a modern villa. Villa Wright features wireless Internet access and air conditioning in all bedrooms, TV with satellite channels, safe, and parking space for four cars.

Location

The villa is just a stone’s throw away from Vietri sul Mare, a seaside resort exceptionally renowned for its ceramics. Cooking utensils, plates, vases and tiles have been made here since the 1400s. In the mid-18th century, Vietri sul Mare became known as the most important majolica-makers’ district on the Amalfi Coast. The most original items made were the very popular tiles painted with religious themes, which you can still see in streets, private homes and churches.

The Tower is also a few kilometers from Maiori, which is like an amphithetre at the end of Tramonti valley. The ancient hamlet of Maiori was rebuilt after a flood in 1954, and today is a modern small town. The fine beaches and good bathing facilities have made Maiori one of the most visited towns on the coast. The villa is a few kilometers from Ravello too. Sitting high in the hills above Amalfi, Ravello is famous for its ravishing gardens and stupendous views, the best in the world according to former resident Gore Vidal.

Tucked in between mountains and sea, Amalfi is a town best explored on foot. While Piazza Duomo and the main street are home to most of the town’s shops and restaurants, do spend some time wandering and exploring the quieter side streets, where you will find arched passageways, hidden gardens and tiny piazzas. Sitting high in the hills above Amalfi, Ravello is a quiet and elegant village. From the terraces of Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone you can enjoy breathtaking views, the same loved by Wagner and Greta Garbo. Ravello is also famous as the City of Music and its Ravello Festival, an annual summer festival of music held in the town.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Positano, known as the “vertical city” climbing the hills in steps, with the oldest houses in the upper part, either faded red or pink, decorated with Baroque stuccoes. Via Pasitea, the traffic-free street going down to the sea, penetrates the heart of the town with its narrow stepped alleys, houses with vaulted roofs, terraces and tiny gardens that defy the rock. The bright colored articles Positano is famous for, on display outside the shops, blend well with the pastel-colored houses.

Villa Wright is 56 km from Naples Capodichino International Airport and 284 km from Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. Vietri sul Mare is 3,5 km from the property, Maiori is 13 km, Amalfi is 18 km, Ravello is 22 km, Pompeii is 28 km, Herculaneum is 45 km, Naples is 52 km, Conca dei Marmi is 23 km, Positano is 36 km, Nerano is 47 km, and Praiano is 29 km.
