"The Amalfi coast is shorthand for a certain level of glamour, sophistication and general dolce vita, whether real or imaginary, that is recognized and envied around the world. Which in part explains the crowds each summer. And while there are plenty of hotel options for discerning travelers, locations that offer an elevated and more secluded experience are highly sought after - and increasingly challenging to find."
"Originally built between the 10th and 11th centuries as a defence tower against Saracen raids, it was repurposed as a place of devotion in the 14th century. Its history also includes a spell as the playground of a Neapolitan prince, but around 70 years ago the property was purchased and restored and has remained a privately held family treasure ever since."
Torre di Civita is a mountain-side retreat and former monastery 980 ft above sea level near Atrani, with uninterrupted views of the Gulf of Salerno. The estate sits on five acres of citrus orchards, centuries-old olive groves and vegetable gardens that supply the property's private chefs. The property contains seven bedrooms across the monastery and surrounding buildings, plus a library, games room, outdoor pizza oven and private lifeguard. Butler services and chef-curated meals are provided. The entire estate is available exclusively for rental via Golden Ticket, with enquiries directed to elite@goldenticketlondon.com.
