LA GALLINA ESTATE

Arrive at La Gallina and step out onto the spacious upper terrace, and your eyes will marvel at the 180-degree views over the verdant coastline, falling away towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. Behind the estate, dramatic hills rise sharply above Sorrento, offering beautiful scenery in every direction. The rippling pools and spacious surrounding lawns provide the perfect setting to enjoy an apéritif as the sun sets behind the trio of islands visible in the distance.

Inside both villas, the owner has thoughtfully combined colourful fabrics, ornate tiles, and striking artwork to create two beautifully classic homes. The considered interiors lend both properties a genuine sense of warmth, along with a real feeling of excitement to return to after a day spent exploring the majestic towns and villages nearby.

The estate enjoys a wonderful position in the quieter hills above Sorrento, within walking distance of shops and restaurants, while also sitting just 30 minutes along the coast from Positano and 40 minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pompeii. The owners’ expansive 150-acre estate is home to lush gardens, fragrant flower beds, and scattered lemon trees, offering the perfect oasis to return to after a day exploring the Sorrentine Peninsula. A further, unique feature is the estate’s extensive parking space — a genuine luxury in this part of the coast.

Il Galletto has its own entrance and parking area, with just a few steps down leading to the house, where views stretch out over the pool, down through the garden, and on to the azure sea beyond. La Gallina, meanwhile, has a separate entrance and sits slightly closer to the sea, with its pool positioned just behind. Though close to one another, both homes offer complete privacy should guests wish for it.
