Torre di Civita

Full Description

Once a monastery and medieval tower, Torre di Civita was transformed in the 1950s when an American countess fell in love with the property. Over the decades that followed, she carefully created what became one of the most sought-after addresses on the Amalfi Coast. Today, the estate remains a truly special luxury villa on the Amalfi Coast, where history, beauty and hospitality come together.

Spread across two and a half hectares of hillside, the estate encompasses the main house and its outbuildings, with seven beautifully appointed rooms in total. Terraces cascade through the gardens towards the Gulf of Salerno, while an ancient olive grove and private swimming pool create an idyllic setting in which to relax and take in the extraordinary scenery of the Amalfi Coast.

For the length of each stay, Torre di Civita belongs to one household alone. This sense of exclusivity is central to the experience. Rather than simply being a luxury villa rental on the Amalfi Coast, the estate is privately cared for by a dedicated resident team who have looked after the house for years. Living on the estate throughout each stay, the team provides an exceptional level of attentive, discreet service, ensuring every detail is considered.

Food is an integral part of the experience, with two private chefs preparing every meal at the estate, from leisurely breakfasts to special seated dinners. Guests can settle into the rhythm of the house without needing to arrange a thing, enjoying the comfort and personalised hospitality expected of an exceptional luxury villa on the Amalfi Coast.

Torre di Civita has long been a place for significant occasions. For generations, its terraces have gathered families and friends together for memorable celebrations, and the house has been shaped as much by the people who have passed through it as by the centuries that came before them. Today, the estate offers an extraordinary setting for birthdays, anniversaries, proposals and milestone celebrations, as well as intimate gatherings and unforgettable evenings overlooking the Amalfi Coast.

For weddings, the estate is reserved for one celebration alone, allowing the entire experience to unfold exclusively for the wedding party — from the ceremony and dinner to the long evening that follows beneath the Ravello sky.

With its extraordinary history, sweeping views, private grounds and resident team, Torre di Civita is far more than a luxury villa. It is a historic private estate, cared for with the attention of a much-loved family home and offered exclusively to one household at a time. Above Ravello, with the Gulf of Salerno stretching below, it provides one of the most distinctive and memorable ways to experience the Amalfi Coast.
