LUXURY VILLA RENTALS ON THE AMALFI COAST

The legendary Amalfi Coast is one of the most spectacular places in Europe to rent a villa. On this sun-drenched southwestern stretch of Italy, soaring cliffs tumble into azure waters, and pastel-hued private villas looking out to the islands and endless sea beyond.

With Amalfi Coast luxury villas set high above the coastline, you can wake up to hypnotic sea views, relax by private pools, and dine al fresco under the shade of lemon trees. We carefully select every property in our portfolio in Italy. This means that, whether you are near the heart of the action in Positano and Sorrento, or seeking a gentler pace in the hills around Praiano, you are guaranteed complete peace and privacy.

We offer a variety of different styles of luxury villa in this colourful region. Choose from grand coastal residences that have looked out to the Tyrrhenian Sea for centuries, or modern, family-friendly homes with generous gardens and hillside villages on the doorstep. What all our Amalfi villa rentals have in common is an emphasis on panoramic views, attentive service, and exemplary levels of comfort. Read on to further explore our collection and gain insider knowledge that will make your Amalfi Coast vacation one to cherish.

THE SEASON AHEAD

The arrival of spring is one of my favourite times on the Amalfi Coast. Almost overnight the cliffsides seem to come alive with citrus blossoms and wildflowers, and the warm Mediterranean breeze draws me outside for much of the day.

Those looking to do some hiking during their visit – along the famous Path of the Gods, for example – will find spring the perfect time to get outdoors. You don’t need to be really active to enjoy spring in Amalfi though. I love making the most of this quieter time of year to go shopping in Positano or spend afternoons in Capri without the summer crowds.

As spring turns into early summer, I recommend spending even more time at the villa itself, taking full advantage of the glorious gardens and the arresting sea views. You must book your villa early though – even outside of the peak season, this part of Italy is popular for good reason!

WHERE & WHEN

Where are the best places to stay on the Amalfi Coast?

Some of the most popular places to rent a villa are around the glamorous towns of Sorrento and Positano. These cater to those looking to be near the heart of the action. Here you can experience quintessential views of coloured houses cascading down the cliffs facing the glittering Tyrrhenian Sea, as well as sophisticated shopping and dining.

To experience similar levels of style and beauty but in a quieter setting, you may wish to consider renting a villa near the pretty fishing village of Praiano, or in the peaceful hills around Furore. Whichever region you choose, stunning views are guaranteed.

What is the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast?

The best times of year to visit the Amalfi Coast are the spring, early summer, and the autumn months of September and October.

By September, temperatures are still pleasantly warm (often around 25C / 77F), but the end of the European school holidays means the crowds are beginning to melt away. And in October you can experience a serene visit with mild days and plenty of time outdoors before the winter sets in.

FIVE WAYS TO ESCAPE THE AMALFI COAST CROWDS

If you can only visit Amalfi during the peak summer months, our Italy experts share their tips on the best ways to experience a quieter side of this stunning region.

"Every year, millions of visitors crowd onto the Amalfi Coast to experience the region’s UNESCO world heritage landscape, its dramatic shorelines, thrilling “nastro azzurro” road, straight-from-the-sea dishes, celebrity-spotting and sandal shopping. It possesses a charm and appeal that’s unparalleled, but summer months can be quite crowded and finding your private Amalfi experience can be hard to do."
