This
villa is on 3 levels and set in its own gardens, with
views of the bay of Amalfi. There is a large living
area, a dining room and large kitchen plus 2 large
bedrooms.
At this villa you will be immersed in true countryside
yet be near the sea, the beautiful village of Scala
and of course the enchanting towns and villages along
the Amalfi Coast. Ravello and Amalfi are each only
3Km away.
The villa does not have a drive way and is accessible
via a series of stone steps,
190 in total, making this a very exclusive and secluded
spot indeed! These steps need not present a problem
to everyone and many purchasers have found imaginative
ways to overcome any potential difficulties.
If you are a nature lover who likes to trek and walk
in hills, this is a perfect place to be, all year
round.
Scala is served by public transport and is only 10
minutes drive by car from Amalfi where there are boats,
ferries and hydrofoils which hop to and from Naples,
Positano, Capri and other towns and islands along
the coast.
Local Delights:
The view, the sea, lemon trees, olive oil, wine and
the beauty and history of Scala-Amalfi. There are
many wonderful little boutiques in Amalfi, which are
stocked with local produce found only in this region,
such as Amalfi’s famous hand made paper, colourful
ceramics and the after-dinner liqueur made from lemons,
known as Limoncello
 .
A
note on Villas with Steps: Some of the most
beautiful properties along the Amalfi Coast are only
accessible via steps from a main road. In some manner,
this adds to the sense of idyll and seclusion that
these properties possess. However, in some cases a
stair lift can be fitted, depending on local guidelines
which regulate what can and what cannot be constructed
in this historical area of natural beauty.
Moreover, the fact of steps is greatly
reflected in the price of a property, reducing its
real market value by up to 65%. Therefore, you may
wish to consider that for such a saving the cost of
a stair lift or hired labour to help with transporting
items is negligible, even over periods of years and
decades. It should also be remembered that the price
of your property will increase over the years and
this will tend to offset any cost spent on assistance
such as carriers, if at all necessary.
The case of steps is peculiar, since for many people
steps would not present a serious deterrent, given
the above solutions. Which is not to mention those
who recognise the hidden benefit of keeping seriously
fit, eliminating the need to spend hours in an unnatural
setting such as an airless and sunless gym. However,
for Italians, the situation is somewhat different:
if it is not possible to park your car right next
to your bed, then this is a great problem. This kind
of impediment was very well caricatured by Bruno Bozzetto,
the famous Italian animator, in his quaint and humourous
depiction of how Italians perform sport: huddled around
a TV watching football. To see this and several other
brilliant caricatures of Italians in comparison to
the other Europeans visit Bozzetto's
site for this and other delights.
