Description
In the heart of La Marina della Lobra, we present a rare opportunity to acquire a typical historic village house with 3 bedrooms, private courtyard gardens and spectacular roof terraces with views of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. The property also boasts a large citrus and olive grove within walking distance, which has unparalleled views towards the magical Island of Capri. A perfect holiday home or romantic retreat on one of most majestic stretches of the Mediterranean coastline.
LOCATION
Enclosed in a natural inlet on the coast, the ancient fishing village is dominated by the Lobra Sanctuary, to which it owes its name. Tucked into the landscape with its citrus groves and bougainvillea, it is an ideal and private location for those looking to avoid the main tourist destinations, as well as providing easy access to and from Naples, Sorrento, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
A cluster of multicolored houses, still populated today mainly by fishermen, surround the steps leading from the church down to the harbour, where boats leave to explore the beauty of Capri (20 min.) and the Amalfi Coast. It is possible to bathe from the rocks or take advantage of the village solarium and practice water sports at the nearby Scoglio del Vervece. There is no shortage of lovely restaurants and bars overlooking the sea to enjoy the spectacular sunset.
EXTERIOR
From the main piazza a small street meanders up through the village where we find the property flanked by two separate entrance gates both leading to private courtyards where parking is possible with a small car. A small upper terraced garden provides direct access into the property on the first floor.
INTERIORS
GROUND FLOOR
From the gated courtyard on the lower level, the front door opens onto an entrance hall with turning staircase leading to bedroom or study with private bathroom, providing ideal guest accommodation. There is also a spacious storage room to the back.
FIRST FLOOR
The staircase arrives on the landing with a large picture window with sea views and entrance to the main living room with ceramic floors, high vaulted ceiling and charming corner fireplace. This leads to a Conservatory dining room and small fully equipped modern kitchen, used mainly in the winter months. Both the living and the dining room have French doors leading onto the garden.
Looking out towards the sea, there is a large double bedroom with high vaulted ceiling which would permit the addition of a mezzanine floor to create an additional sleeping area, and another pleasant double bedroom facing the entrance courtyard with good sized bathroom.
SECOND FLOOR
The second floor landing leads to a bathroom and spacious equipped partially covered outdoor kitchen and dining area, utilized most the year due to the fabulous climate
THIRD FLOOR
Spectacular large decked roof terrace with incredible views looking over the village with its picturesque harbour as well as the iconic Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples.
