Salerno Villa 5556 is a modern villa designed by a famous architect whose genius is most effectively expressed in the fact that, while he built it using means and materials available in the 60s, he took his inspiration from the traditional construction procedures and techniques of the area.
Even more impressive is the way in which he has managed to design the house so that the sea is visible from every room.
When you arrive at the villa, you will be overwhelmed by a sensation of perfect peace and quiet; the green of the vegetation, the yellow of the lemons which ripen all year round, and the blue of the sea are the dominant colours, while the house itself is immersed in the surrounding vegetation, so that it is almost invisible from outside.
Situated on a vast estate, known as "La Badia" since it once belonged to an ancient convent located on the mountainside. This estate is now an extensive area devoted to well tended lemon cultivation, with trellises stretching from the peak of the promontory almost as far as sea level.
Guests here may enjoy the exclusive use of the attractive swimming-pool where the architect's imaginative flair is again revealed: one side of the pool is made up of the retaining wall of the sheer sea cliff, while it also has its own private sea access.
In view of its position, this villa is not recommended for parties with children under the age of 12. It can be approached by a narrow tarred road, using the small cars provided by the owners.
