Overview
Dating back to 1866, Villa Savinna has been carefully restored to preserve many of its charming features including the beautiful vaulted ceilings.
Enjoying a privileged location at Capo di Sorrento, this stylish property affords stunning views of the Gulf of Naples, the Mount Vesuvius, as well as Ischia and Procida Islands.
Immersed in two acres of lush gardens, Villa Savinna is the ideal retreat for family holidays, gatherings with friends, special events, or saying “I do” in a magical setting.
The terrace is the ideal place to start the day energized, enjoying a cup of coffee, while taking in the views, or indulging in an al fresco meal. Guests can take a refreshing dip in the large swimming pool, before relaxing on the surrounding sun loungers to soak up the rays.
Indoors, this period residence has a very elegant, yet welcoming feel given by the bright colours, hand-painted furniture and gorgeous tiles, which can be found throughout the house. Several of the rooms preserve their gorgeous frescoes on the vaulted ceilings, depicting the episodes of the Homer’s Odyssey related to the voyage of Ulysses made along the Sorrento Peninsula.
The sleeping area is particularly special, with each suite carefully appointed, and some offering stunning sea views.
Located within close proximity to the beach and Sorrento town, Villa Savinna is without doubt one of the most charming properties for rent on the Amalfi Coast.

With its white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and stunning sunsets, Kaila Island is a true private paradise. The island lies in the Pearl Cays of the Caribbean Sea, just off the coast of Nicaragua; the area is known locally as the NiCaribbean.
With just four private suites available on the 9.5 acre island and over 25 staff members on hand, a stay on Kaila is the ultimate barefoot luxury experience.
All buildings on the island are constructed in traditional Caribbean style with palm-thatched roofs, hand-crafted dark wood furniture, and lighting and soft furnishings created by local artisans. The resort aims to be environmentally-friendly with solar power, and recycling, wastewater and composting programs in place. In addition, all huts are slightly raised on stilts so as not to disturb the critically-endangered hawksbill sea turtles nesting on the island.
There is a wealth of activities on the island to keep everyone entertained; guests can take a relaxing dip in the infinity-edge pool and enjoy cocktails at the swim-up bar, try paddle boarding and kayaking, or take a fishing trip with a local fisherman. Children can enjoy pizza making sessions, pirate treasure hunts, and other garden games.
Just a 5 minute paddle away is Little Calala Island, a tiny islet with a sole umbrella, perfect for a romantic picnic. Visitors can explore the shipwreck on its shoreline or snorkel the surrounding reefs.
For true relaxation, the island boasts a spa in a secluded location, nestled amongst the mangroves, which offers over a dozen different pampering treatments.
With all meals included and evening menus changing daily, guests can enjoy gastronomic feasts featuring seafood caught earlier the same day, fresh produce from the island’s organic gardens, along with seasonal specialties. All meals are cooked up by the island’s Michelin-trained chef, though guests can choose between a romantic meal on their private veranda, a poolside burger, or a fine dining experience in the island’s private restaurant. Weekly events include an extravagant beach barbecue and an eight-course fine dining tasting evening.
Each of the four beachfront suites boasts a private veranda perfect for peaceful breakfasts, and a secluded palapa (thatched shelter) with a double hammock and seating where guests can relax on their own private stretch of beach. The suites feature luxurious king-size canopy beds, en-suite bathrooms with semi-al fresco rain showers, and comfortable sitting areas.
For those looking for a luxury break filled with gourmet cuisine, exciting activities, and true relaxation, all in complete privacy, Kaila Island is the perfect choice.
