Although the interior of Villa Grigorio is beautiful, you may not spend much time inside during daylight hours due to how impressive the outdoor spaces are. The home sits in 1.5 acres of parkland and has a well - kept garden made up of lawned areas and a series of terraces. There are plenty of spaces for sunbathing and eating in the garden, but most impressive are the 1300 sq. ft. terrace and rooftop pool! 

Close to the villa, there are beautiful beaches and a selection of hamlets and villages which you can visit to go sight - seeing or to eat out. A number of these are under a twenty - minute walk away and offer all the amenities you could need. A supermarket can be found locally as well as cafes, restaurants, historical buildings and monuments in the villages. The closest village is one of six which are interconnected by stunning walking and trekking routes which meander through citrus groves to the hillside hamlet. Walkers welcome the lovely cafes and restaurants at the end of their trail.

Villa Grigorio is located on the Amalfi coastline near to the town of Sorrento in Italy. In this area, there are many beaches, villages, towns and historic attractions making it an ideal holiday destination.  There are a number of villages dotted around the area where the villa is located; one such is Sant'Agata sui due Golfi, which is a charming place to visit and is 5 minutes away by car or around 25 - minutes on foot. This is a village with a unique charm as well as climate; this village has a slightly cooler climate which makes it a haven for walkers on hot days. Sant'Agata has amazing views over the gulfs of Naples and Salerno which are best seen from the roof of the seventeenth - century convent. This area is also renowned for its food and if you wish to try truly local cuisine then make sure to visit a farm restaurant for a great meal. Long coastlines envelop this area, so you are sure to spend a lot of time visiting the beaches or enjoying the sea from the comfort of boat trips. The closest beach to the villa is called Marina del Cantone. This beach is located in an old fishing village which now contains many shops, cafes and restaurants close to a lovely beach.  The surrounding area has many other beaches and natural attractions you can visit, one of the more popular is the island of Capri which can be reached by ferry from Sorrento. The ferry journey takes just 30 - minutes and the island is well worth the trip. Once on the island, smaller boats take visitors into incredible caves including the famous Blue Grotto. The Island has lots to see and is especially known for its shopping, with a wealth of shops and designer boutiques on offer. On Capri, traditional seafood stalls sit side by side with chic restaurants, which creates a unique atmosphere. Capri is also filled with historic and religious attractions so there is something for everyone.  Sorrento is the nearest town to the villa and is a great place to explore; there are pretty ports, winding streets filled with artisan shops and many museums, historic churches and eateries. If you wish to visit a larger city then why not visit Naples which takes an hour to get to by car.  It would be a shame to visit this region of Italy without making a day trip to the famous Pompeii. Pompeii can be reached by car or by coach from Sorrento. This incredible archaeological attraction is around an hour from Villa Grigorio and offers us an amazing insight into Roman life. Here you are able to visit a whole town which was preserved by a volcanic eruption. If you are short on time, then visit nearby Herculaneum instead which is smaller yet preserved in the same way. Hiring a good - tour guide is a great idea as they know the best routes and things to see on a visit.
