Villa with sea water swimming pool and direct access to the sea

Magnificent villa on three levels with large garden, swimming pool with seawater, descent to private sea.
Built in the 1970s, it enjoys a breathtaking view of Capri and the Gulf of Naples.
It is located in one of the most beautiful corners of the coast of Massa Lubrense, less than ten minutes, by car, from the center of the village.
The villa is divided into two main houses, in the same building, completely independent, which nevertheless use the pool and the descent to the sea.
This description refers only to the property called "Il Geco" subject of the description below. The second property can be occupied by the owners or their guests.
Access to the villa is through an avenue of a private park with automatic gate on the provincial road Massa-Marciano (via IV Novembre, 36).
The swimming pool, used from May to October, is filled with seawater; it is about 10 m x 6 m wide with a depth ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 m. The terraces around the pool, imposing directly on the sea, require assistance for children, as there are no complete fences. There are deckchairs and sunbeds. Bathing in the pool is a unique experience and you can get the impression of being suspended on the sea.
Only 100 steps allow direct access to the sea, through a private descent of the villa, with access to the rocks.
The main entrance of "Il Geco" is entirely occupied by the main living room (about 60 square meters), the dining room, a small bathroom and the kitchen.
The large living room overlooks one of the large terraces with two large window doors; the two large windows at the corners of the room are oriented towards Capri and the Faraglioni and the second towards Vesuvius.
The room has a large fireplace that is fully functional, which, on cooler evenings, becomes the center of the living space, surrounded by sofas. The living room is equipped with a Hi-Fi system with CD player and a turntable (there is an extensive collection of classical music records). In one corner of the room there is a large TV screen, connected to a satellite antenna that allows you to watch the main international channels, as well as Italian TV.
There is phone and open wi-fi connection.
The villa has 4 double bedrooms with independent bathroom and AC. The additional 2 bedrooms with bunk beds, and a room with one and a half square beds and independent bathroom are available on request. The equipment, all perfectly and regularly functioning are the original ones of the villa.
All double rooms have air conditioning.
The total number of beds is 8 (+5 on request).
The main bedroom of the house, is on level -1. It is about 40 square meters and has a large window door on the front terrace (large independent panoramic terrace on level -1) and a side window. The main double bed and furniture are in "Italian" style. In the room there is a separate dressing room with a large mirror. The room has an external and internal telephone line and air conditioning.
The bathroom is in front of the room access pass and has toilet, bidet, sink and shower.
The second double bedroom on level -1 has two windows that open onto two different views. Air conditioning. The attached bathroom has toilet, bidet, sink and shower.
The third double bedroom on level +1, has a panoramic balcony and a side window. The attached bathroom has toilet, sink and shower. Air conditioning.
The fourth double bedroom has two windows and a large private hallway. The attached bathroom has toilet, bidet, sink and shower. Air conditioning.
the 3 optional single rooms have bunk beds. an optional fourth bedroom has a bed a square and a half and independent bathroom and air conditioning.
The construction is from 1970 and therefore, although in good condition, the villa demonstrates a certain age.
Tourist taxes will be paid directly to the owner (7.5 Euro/week/person > 12 years).THere is also to pay the consumption of electricity.This will be calculated through the measurements at the meters at the entrance and returning at check out any savings compared to the amount advanced

This place (while a little tricky to get to) made our dream vacation magical! The grounds alone are beautiful … the pool … the sea. It was all just perfect! Our host was amazing. Only thing I would change is more pillows and towels. But we did wash them so as it wasn’t ideal to do laundry it didn’t take much to do it. I would give this property a 12 out of 10! Just beautiful

Top of my bucket list - check!!
Sonja was a friendly, helpful, excellent communicator. She met us all in town on the first day and drove us to the property, which, admittedly, would have been hard to find on our own. Its seclusion is definitely part of its charm however. Honestly it feels a bit like heaven to enter the beautiful villa, see the phenomenal view, swim in the salt water pool, and eat delicious home cooked meals with family and dear friends on the patio overlooking the Gulf of Naples and Capri. We had two phenomenal meals cooked by a lovely, local couple who are the real deal and there were enough leftovers for lunch the next day! Sonja also helped arrange transportation and made reservations for us at two local restaurants which were also lovely experiences. Honestly, we all had to pinch ourselves a bit, wondering if we were in a movie setting or if the beautiful villa, grounds, pool and view were actually our real life for a week! The kitchen was sparsely stocked, so be prepared to buy your own paper towels, laundry detergent, etc, but this doesn’t detract from the 5 star review - everything else was way too spectacular - it’s just a warning to be prepared for this. Also, the owners are right, you really can’t rent this villa without also renting a car. But ignore all the hype about how hard it is to drive on the Amalfi coast. My husband actually enjoyed it, most of the time! We will enjoy our memories of your stunning villa the rest of our lives. Thank you so so so much!!

A southern Italian gem
Wonderful villa perched on magnificent cliffs overlooking the sea, with breathtaking views of Ischia and Capri. This villa has it all: well appointed old world charm and modern amenities on a private lot that provides a space for really slowing down. For those seeking the true relaxation of southern Italy, this property can’t be beat. Located in Massa Lubrense, away from the hustle and bustle of Sorrento and Positano we were still within reasonable distance of everything we wanted to do. We spent a lot of time in the Villa because once there you never want to leave, but also did get to visit some of the attractions of the area. As for the property management, both Nello and Sonja were a joy to work with and were extremely accommodating of our questions and needs. Could not imagine better hosts. A huge thank you to both of them and we will definitely be back! Finally, as a suggestion to others considering renting this same property, we rented only the property on this listing but were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves. Upon seeing the space, however, we realize if we were to come back we would like to make sure we have the same situation, as having another family share the pool and common areas would detract a bit from the whole experience. If your group is big enough, we suggest you consider renting the whole house.

This home was perfect for our 3 generation family trip. Plenty of room for the 12 of us, but great space on the main floor and outdoors for us all to hang out together too.

Loved our stay at the villa. Plenty of room and rooms with million door views of Capri, Naples & Mt Vesuvius. Extensive gardens and lovely pool area. Nello and Sonja were easy to communicate with and we’re very helpful, caring and informative. Easy transfers available if required but rental vehicle for shopping, beaches preferred. Villa could do with some maintenance but all in all a fabulous stay.

Our wonderful adventure!
We were a group of 15 and the experience in this home was beyond our wildest hopes and dreams. The home is presented just as it looks in the pictures. If ever we had questions or needs they were addressed immediately. The home was clean, comfortable and helped create the best lifelong memories! Everyone on the house team was suburb and I found we were treated like long lost family instead of paying guests of a rental.

Beautiful villa with unbelievable views
Villa Polese is a very special place - it's HUGE and the layout is perfect for families, especially with younger kids. The balcony is stunning and has views of Vesuvius and Capri. The property has so many delightful surprises - we loved the walk down to the water. The location is also great, with Massa Lubrense having every convenience needed and a very short distance to Sorrento. Sonja was extremely easy to communicate with and very responsive. We just had a magical time and highly recommend this property. Just one word of caution that the driveway down to the villa is a little difficult to maneuver so be sure to pay attention to the advice on vehicle size.

Best view on Sorrento to Amalfi Coast
The pictures on VRBO are great, but being on the patio overlooking Capri, Ischia and Vesuvius is fantastic. Pictures do not usually convey sound,. Overlooking the water you will see and hear, in a good way, many boats going to Capri and other ports, and to the Amalfi Coast in the morning and returning in the afternoon. it is a joy to watch. Nello, the owner of the villa, is respectful of your needs and responds promptly if you need something. There was an issue with an air conditioning unit, and once I reached out to Nello it was resolved. The home is built on a hillside, as most of the coast is hillside cascading down to the sea. Thus is is multi leveled, I think about 7 levels all together, from pool up to the top floor. We were renting the three level unit below a rented space above us. There were small groups of people above us but we never heard them and saw one group of 3 by the pool one day. It was never a bother for our group of 8 adults who were in 5 bedrooms in the house. There are plenty of cups, dishes, cutlery, pots and pans although some of the posts and pans have lime deposits in the bottom of them due to lime in the water. I think that is just part of being on the coast using the water supplied by the village of Massa Lubrense, which is a quiet village with an excellent bakery with gelato, and an excellent restaurant overlooking the sea, il Cantucci. We used Roberta Persico car service which Nello, the owner of the villa, recommended and their service was absolutely reliable,, on time, safe, cheerful, helpful, and friendly.

We had a wonderful time, the views are amazing. Sonia, the property manager was very responsive anytime we had a question. Sonia recommended a local couple to cook us dinner our first night and it was amazing! Tips for your stay - Purchase groceries before or have Sonia have them delivered as it is a trek to the store. Use Sonia recommendations for transportation, we were a group of 7 and found some services concerned about driving a big van down but Sonia’s connections had no problem making it down and were very prompt with pick-ups. Would stay again.

Perfect Quiet Paradise!!
I don't know where to begin with describing how enjoyable our stay was at Nello's property. We walked in to paradise - the property had everything our party of 6 could need. Everything was super clean, super accessible, and plenty of space for us to spread out. The property management was exceptionally helpful as well, helping us hire someone for a dinner one night as well as coordinate with a transfer service for rides into town and transfers. We are already looking at dates to potentially come back, as our only complaint is not staying long enough!!

Through Nello we were also able to organise a special evening where a local lady came in to cook us all pizza on the outdoor pizza oven. All in all this really is a perfect place to stay.
