Benefica is one of the few properties that can accommodate people with limited mobility, a rare treasure along the Amalfi Coast. The villa is located away from the main tourist towns, so it is quiet and relaxing – yet just a few minute's drive to the serviced village of Sant’Agata sui due Golfi and a 20-minute drive to Sorrento.

Benefica is the perfect villa to use as a base to explore the beautiful Amalfi Coast. The island of Capri is accessible via public ferry from Sorrento or by a private boat you can hire through our wonderful concierge service.

The social spaces at Benefica are all located on the ground floor. The white air-conditioned sitting room is incredibly cozy, thanks to a fireplace. The space opens onto a beautiful scenic patio creating a beautiful indoor/outdoor living area. The mood inside is as easy and airy as it is outside.

There is a separate dining area at Benefica which is perfect for when you don’t want to dine al fresco. The property also features a fully equipped commercial-grade kitchen that opens onto the patio.

The outdoor area is the perfect space to relax and soak in the warm Italian sun; surrounded by beautifully maintained and landscaped gardens, the villa's stunning pergola and outdoor lounge areas are ideal for spending time with loved ones. The space is also perfectly complemented by a lovely private swimming pool. This provides an escape from the heat. A refreshing dip is all you’ll need to make a day in Amalfi perfect. You can enjoy the alfresco dining area when the sun finally descends into the sea. Eat some delicious Italian cuisine and have a refreshing beverage, the perfect end to a day in paradise.

LOCATION - Amalfi Coast
A winding scenic drive along the coastal road, known for its hairpin bends and spectacular views, takes visitors to Positano, Praiano, Amalfi, and the spellbinding uphill town of Ravello, with its incomparable belvedere. Any of these popular resort towns along the coast are good bases for exploring the surrounding areas. Buses and ferries run frequently and are the most convenient way to reach other towns while avoiding what could be a challenging drive in the bustling summer traffic. Other excursion possibilities include a boat trip to the islands of Capri and Ischia, a visit to the vibrant cities of Napoli, Salerno, or the gracious Sorrento, or an exploration of Pompeii and Herculaneum - the fascinating ruins of ancient cities destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 1st century AD.
