BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS
Sleeping takes place on the ground and third floor with two very distinct design motifs separating the two though all rooms are well-sized (37-100sqm).
Ground floor rooms showcase vaulted ceilings with an impressive series of frescoes depicting Ulysses journeying the Sorrento peninsular. With classic interiors and heavily distressed handmade bathroom tiles, the whole effect transports you back to ancient times. The third-floor rooms take on the subtle hues found in the local surroundings from dove egg blue venetian plaster walls to ochre, pale apricot and celadon.
It is worth mentioning that bedrooms 6-7 and 8-9 form two incredible suites and the ground floor rooms are interconnecting to create wonderfully large family suites if required. The suite with bedrooms 6 and 7 has two adjacent bathrooms and a shared living room that features a sofa bed and glass staircase leading to a turret with panoramic views, while the suite with bedrooms 8 and 9 has a share living/dining room with sofa bed and a panoramic view of the bay.
