Luxury historical wonderful 5 Master suites Villas with new pool, AC,Garden
Villa Aqvara, originally an old farmhouse, is a breathtaking and peaceful all-suite villa in the cute village of Massa Lubrense, just minutes from Sorrento. It overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea, which is part of the Mediterranean. Villa Aqvara is perfectly located in the green hills of Massa, giving its guests spectacular panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples, with its magnificent islands Capri, Ischia, Procida, as well as the ever-imposing Mount Vesuvius. Built in 1786 by the Baron of Cerqueto, Vincenzo Maria Ajello, just ten years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence (to give you an idea of Villa Aqvara's rich history), the house takes its name from the spring water, abundantly present in this territory, which supplies the extraordinary vegetation, as well as a wash house that is still in use today. At the entrance of the villa is a fantastic Italian Rococo style fountain, with lava stone and tuff that welcomes guests with its spouting water. As you enter the property, the scent of flowers and plants, as well as the varied colors of the water lilies will touch all your senses.

An excellent villa
The villa has 5 bedrooms divided into 4 suites. There are wide balconies for a magical view of the green mountains descending to a beautiful bay with the island of Capri. The kitchen is equipped with a lot of dishes and the necessary equipment. There is a lot of space and many friendly corners. The villa contains many beautiful art objects. We had a lot of fun.

Family get away
Our stay at Villa Aquvara was amazing!
The home was magical. And the views are breathe taking. About 22 minutes from Sorrento we rented cars and found it easy to get around.
Awesome little pizza / bread shop 5 minutes down the street. It was very handy when we needed something and didn't want to drive into town .
The hosts were always available if we had any issues.
I would recommend this magical castle on the hill if you have a large group. We were 3 families and we were super comfortable!
We love Italy and we will be back to Masse lubrenese ❤️

Family Reunion
The property was just as beautiful as it was depicted in the listing. The view was spectacular. The nearby town of Sant Agata has nice restaurants, some cute shops and a sizable grocery store. Sorrento is about a 30 minutes away by bus or car.
The only challenge is that is a bit difficult to navigate to the property. We had rented two smallish cars and were often directed by GPS to travel on roads so narrow that the cars would barely fit. But, all and all, our family enjoyed a wonderful adventure in southern Italy.

Villa Aqvara
Do not hesitate to book this amazing property! It has stunning views of Capri and Mt.Vesuvius, which are far better in person than in the photos. The villa is absolutely beautiful and full of charm with stunning views from inside and out. We traveled with 4 couples and it was nice for everyone to have their own bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Bruno, the house manager was extremely responsive and helpful with any info we needed. The villa itself is a 15 min cab ride to the heart of Sorrento and we all agreed that being in a quieter, less touristy area was what we all liked. There is a little market/pizzeria (Vito's) that is a 2 min walk from the villa where you could get some groceries, wine, etc. We stayed for 5 days and wish it would have been longer, Villa Aqvara is a treasure.

Amazing stay! Don’t even hesitate!
This place is fabulous! Gorgeous views, pool was amazing. Bruno the manager was very helpful in booking activities and translate too if we needed help. There is a small grocery down the street but a bit of a walk to most restaurants and shops. Sant Agata is actually the closest town which was about a mile walk but we loved the stroll to town. Took a few days to figure out walking paths but the area has tons and keeps you off the tiny roads with cars. (Bruno will prove a map with paths) We even walked to Sorrento (all downhill in about 50 min) and took the bus back. Our best meal was in Sant Agata at Da Mimi! Truly local and amazing. We were 3 families and we had a trip to remember!! Also, many restaurants will pick you up in the area and return you at whatever time you would like so you can explore town or enjoy the beach. We did not have a car or bikes and were very glad not to deal with driving in the area.
