Location and Surrounding Area. Villa Rosemary is located a short distance from the centre of the colourful little fishing village of Massa Lubrense, on the tip of the Sorrentine peninsula, pointing out towards Capri. A delightful little village, with views across the Gulf of Naples to Vesuvius and Ischia, it’s ideal for those who want to visit the Amalfi Coast without staying in the more crowded tourist destinations. Pizzerias and restaurants line its quaint harbour and, for those who enjoy hiking, there are over 100km of marked routes nearby, winding through olive and citrus groves to the thick pine forest beyond.
Massa Lubrense’s rocky shores aren’t ideal for swimming, but there are lots of beautiful beaches nearby. Just 7 km away is Nerano, a pebbly beach with sunbeds, umbrellas and bars. Its crystal clear waters make a great place for snorkelling along the rocky seabed. Or you can take a boat trip to the magical coves and inlets that form part of the Protected Marine Area of Punta Campanella, or to the world-renowned island of Capri (just 3 km away), or along the Amalfi Coast.
The famous towns of Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi are all within easy reach of Massa Lubrense and there’s a direct train that runs from Sorrento to Pompeii.
Villa Rosemary is only 1 km to MassaLubrense 8 km from Sorrento, 20 km from Positano, 37 km from Amalfi, 33 km from Pompeii. The nearest international airport is Naples (Capodichino), 59 km away. Trains and buses run regularly from Naples to Sorrento and then there is a direct bus route from Sorrento to Massa Lubrense (EAV bus line A). There is also a ferry/hydrofoil service running many times daily from Naples to Sorrento.

A short staircase leads to the upper floor where there are 3 large double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, 2 of which open onto a terrace with spectacular views. On this same terrace is a large room dedicated to leisure time, with large, comfortable sofas and a TV with Kodi, as well as a small gym and sauna. This room leads onto a veranda, which can be closed in winter, where a fantastic outdoor hot tub for 5 people is positioned beside the entrance to a small garden with lemon trees.
