Villa Eastman
Perched on the cliffs of the Sorrentine Peninsula, overlooking the characteristic bays of Marina Grande and Marina Piccola, Villa Eastman seems to dominate from the Gulf of Naples. The magnificence of this villa is greatly understood looking at the photos, yet this villa’s story is even more surprising, as it is suspended between myth and reality.
The mansion that once belonged to the philosopher Benedetto Croce in the early 1900s, overlooks the sea and was built on the remains of a Roman villa. Built by Agrippa Postumus, grandson of Emperor Augustus and dating back to the 1st century A.D., the villa is surrounded by sprouting greenery and ornamental ponds, archaeological finds and the remains of an ancient villa.

Description
Description
Villa Eastman is equipped with a swimming pool and a garden of 2 hectares of land, considered among the top ten of the most beautiful gardens in Italy. There is also a direct access to the sea through an amazing internal pool in a natural grotto. We can consider this wonderful place a real private museum, in such a way that it was declared being of great historical and archaeological interest. The myth says that Villa Eastman, previously known as Villa Tritone, had illustrious visitors like the famous Roman poet Ovid who was born in 43 A.D.
Considered the most prestigious villa of the Sorrento coast, it expresses great charm with breathtaking views.
The bay of Naples is undoubtedly the most spectacular bay in Italy. To the North are the cities of Naples and Pozzuoli, to the East lies Mount Vesuvius, and to South the town of Sorrento. The islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida are also situated in the bay and are connected to the mainland by a ferry service. In ancient Roman times, the wealthy citizens of the empire spent pleasure – filled days there as can be seen in the frescoes of archaeological site of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Privacy is combined with sophisticated security.A private swimming pool in the idyllic garden setting complements the villa.
Last but not least, the location combines beautiful scenery with practical appeal. Although nestled in the heart of a tranquil neighborhood, accessed by the typical, narrow roads of the old town, it is just a five minutes walk to the lively town center of Sorrento where one can fully enjoy the charming atmosphere of the local life.
For the more adventurous, the Sorrentine Peninsula has become the hub for a variety of destinations on the Amalfi Coast. Within reachable distance by car or by boat are Naples, Pompeii, Positano, Ravello and Amalfi, as well as the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida.
Villa Eastman has recently been restored with precious materials and furnished with objects and valuable antiques, chosen by the famous Parisian architect Jacques Garcia. The grandeur of the villa also appears in the size of the windows, which frame the stunning view of Mount Vesuvius overlooking the sea and the entire bay. The spacious kitchen is well equipped and ideal for cooking anything from simple snacks to exquisite dinners.
