Esimia is a contemporary Italian retreat for up to 17 guests, tucked away among the orange and olive groves. This elevated oasis, with mesmerising views across the ocean to Capri, places you close to the region's charming fishing villages and sheltered coves for blissful beach days by the azure water. Set in fragrant Mediterranean gardens with divine al fresco spaces, you'll embrace la dolce vita at the captivating Esimia.

Just a 12-minute drive away and perched high upon the clifftop, Sorrento offers unparalleled views across the Gulf of Naples to Mount Vesuvius. This bustling town is a treasure trove of artisanal shops, trendy cocktail bars, historical piazzas, cultural museums, and superb gelateria. Culinary adventures abound, from the Michelin-awarded Il Buco to Antico Francischiello, where you can sample traditional cuisine and the freshest local fish. From this picturesque corner of Italy, you can also enjoy leisurely day trips to Naples, Pompei, and the dazzling Amalfi coast.

White walls and vibrant pops of colour ensure Esimia feels fresh and airy throughout. Guests can relax with a chilled glass of local wine in one of two sumptuous living rooms, sinking into a deep sofa as they plan the next day's adventures. Two immaculately presented modern kitchens offer desirable flexibility for the large group. The villa offers two attractive dining spaces, or you can share a laid-back feast in the balmy evening sun.

Guests are accommodated in style and comfort across nine light-filled ensuite bedrooms, each with a dreamy view of the lush grounds or the sparkling ocean. Eight of these bedrooms offer a queen-size bed, and one provides a cosy single bed. From their colourful statement headboards to their elegant modern bathrooms with walk-in waterfall showers, each bedroom is the perfect private retreat.

The villa's impressive grounds offer complete seclusion and boast two pools and solariums, an open-air dining terrace and grill deck, and a coveted hot tub – the perfect spot to watch one of the peninsula's pastel sunsets. Large groups can reconnect and immerse themselves in a deliciously slow pace of life at the sun-soaked Esimia.
