This large 6-bedroom holiday villa is situated at 4 kilometres from Maiori and only 9 kilometres away from Amalfi, offers a truly stunning location for an unforgettable holiday experience in Italy. Argento gives everything our selective clientele expects from a relaxing and enjoyable holiday on the Amalfi Coast. Whilst guaranteeing privacy and luxury comforts, it is also a perfect base for visiting the many historical sites or exploring the beautiful towns of the region.
The estate where Argento is located, boasts two outstanding constructions, each with characteristic features and spectacular sea views. Both are very distinct for architectural style and era: the Argento is a renovated, medieval, Saracen tower surrounded by several independent, stone outbuildings. The Olearia is a contemporary residence designed by an eminent Italian architect in a harmonious fusion of style and local tradition. These two units may be hired collectively or separately, both are equipped with private pool areas, terraces and luxury amenities.
The concierge assists guests and accommodates all requests including organizing excursions, cooking-classes, rentals and booking of activities. The chef proposes a daily choice of exquisite dishes from the area’s traditional cuisine, homemade from local, seasonal products. The butler and the cleaning lady guarantee a flawless waiting service and the daily maintenance of the holiday luxury villa. Furthermore, a delicious Limoncello, prepared with the property’s home-grown lemons, is available for those who may wish to try it.
Strolling around the property you may come across the friendly, pet donkeys, sheep, chickens and tiny Falabella ponies roaming freely in the grounds.
Argento is a medieval, Saracen watchtower situated within one of the most extensive, private estates of the Amalfi coast. The grounds of this property descend from the coast road down through a landscape of dense Mediterranean vegetation, lemon trellises and beautifully-tended gardens as far as the sheer sea cliff upon which the ancient tower stands.
The recently renovated tower is elegantly furnished with high-quality furniture which further enhances the beauty of this unique building.
This enchanting property consists of the original tower and 4 additional, independent annexes strategically positioned throughout the grounds; the Longanesi is situated close to the main house, the Canonica and Fontanella, near to the pool area and the more intimate Casa delle Fragole, is a little more secluded and enjoys its own, very exclusive, view.
A succession of panoramic terraces, offering breath-taking views of the unspoiled Amalfi coastline, provides the perfect setting for external lounge and dining areas. The property also boasts an exclusive, double swimming pool, set out on two levels and linked by a charming, communicating staircase.
A path leads down from the grounds to a private rocky beach at the waters’ edge. In the living room, there is Wi-Fi internet. The standard of the bedrooms is slightly lower than the living areas.
