Limonaia is an exceptional 7 bedroom villa designed and built by a leading Italian architect. Immersed in one of the most attractive and extensive private estates of the Amalfi Coast.  
 
The grounds are citrus laden trellises that extend from the top of the headland right down to the coastline. All year round the landscape is dominated by the deep shades of green vegetation, the vivid yellow of ripening lemons and the profound blue of the sea below. Guests have exclusive use of a panoramic swimming-pool, ingeniously designed to incorporate the cliff wall. A path leads down from the grounds to a private rocky cove at the waters’ edge. Furthermore, guests can enjoy the exclusive cooking of a local chef offering a daily first-class menu of seasonal dishes using local ingredients.
