Situated in a large and beautifully kept garden - cum - citrus orchard, this 19C villa has retained its period style and atmosphere in its elegant interior.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Varano hillside overlooks Castellammare di Stabia, minutes on foot from the excavated Roman villas of ancient Stabiae.
The rooms
Period furniture and traditional ceramic tiles define the rooms, and suites open onto terraces facing the gulf.

Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor freshwater pool sits in the central park, fitted with hydromassage loungers and water geysers.

The glass garden pavilion houses a hydrotherapy pool and loungers looking out across the lawn.
At the table
