This is where the Titans fought the gods, where Mount Athos soars into the sky, and where the Virgin Mary, accompanied by John the Evangelist, came and blessed the mainisland’s shores, leading to the many monasteries scattered along its hillsides.
Avaton Luxury Beach Resort’s contemporary villas are a reflection of this mythological spectacle set within the Mediterranean’s garden and overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Owner Themistoklis Chantzis affectionately presides over this estate perched above a private beach of cerulean blue. As for the chef, he adds his own touch by flavouring the freshly caught seafood with wild herbs from his extraordinary garden. The sleek style of the private residences provides a wonderful contrast to the unique panorama, whose splendid history is within easy reach.

There is an eternal, timeless beauty to the Gulf of Naples, with its jagged coast and deep-blue sea, and the Vesuvius rising in the background. In the most picturesque corner of Sorrento, the Bellevue Syrene was opened in 1820, having been originally designed in 1750 as a private residence built on the foundations of a Roman villa. The location, decor, comfort and sense of history at this hotel make it an extraordinary place. The fishponds full of water lilies evoke the Roman times, while frescos painted as a tribute to famous guests adorn the walls. The recent refurbishment of the hotel has balanced respect for the glorious past with contemporary comfort.

The chef offers high-flying, delicate and refined cuisine, made with seasonal products, from local producers, with whom he works hand in hand.

This hotel is the dream child of Carlino Cinque, who was passionately in love with this place and commissioned a villa on a promontory with breathtaking views of Praiano, Positano, the coast and the rocks of Capri. In the course of time, this dream grew, as did the hotel. Its many rooms have each a private terrace and a wonderful sea view. The interior details include fine terracotta floors with ceramic decoration and doors adorned with frescoes. An elevator built into the rocks leads down to a private beach and to the Carlino restaurant. The spa and tennis court between the cliffs are also not to be missed.

A stay at La Villa is a statement. This hotel stands for good taste. It offers a particular art of living. La Villa, much like a private club, is a haven for lovers of beauty, tranquillity and culture. Art permeates the entire hotel, from the painter’s canvas to the violinist’s bow, not to mention the keys of the piano. Culinary art too has some well-tempered chords to play. The views over the Bay of Calvi, the scents of the sea and the pine forests, the sounds of music mingling with the song of the cicadas, the flavours of the local ingredients, beautiful plasterwork cool to the touch... Just enter La Villa, across from the Citadel, and all your senses will come alive.

In this blue paradise, the tranquility is disturbed only by the sound of waves carried from the Anse de la Garoupe below–the cove can easily be reached via a short private path. Amid this unique landscape of umbrella pines and ochre rocks–scenery that inspired artists including Nicolas de Staël and Pablo Picasso–stands a large, beautiful mansion: Villa Miraé. Its guest rooms, adorned with natural materials and a palette of yellow, green or blue, evoke the surroundings. Each one features a terrace or balcony that opens onto the lush Mediterranean garden, where a swimming pool is nestled within. In the summer, the private sundeck on the beach, lined with succulents and laurel, epitomizes this oasis of coolness and calm. The Mediterranean vibe continues with the cuisine served at Villa Miraé’s two restaurants, where Chef Mauro Colagreco offers vibrant, refined cuisine.
