Casa dei Miraggi
3-bedroom apartment in a historic villa in Amalfi with impressive viewsStay in The Amalfi Coast
Casa Del Miraggi is an exceptional apartment located within a historic villa in Amalfi, famously detailed in the 1867 book Costa delle Sirene. This villa, often referred to as "The Palace" by locals, was purchased in 1943 by the Marquis Francesco Mottola of Amato and later meticulously restored by his heirs to highlight its stunning architectural features and enchanting gardens. Declared a "monument of national interest" in 2004 by the Ministry of Culture, this villa offers an extraordinary blend of history, elegance, and modern comfort.
Casa Del Miraggi is a two-level apartment located on the eastern side of the villa, boasting a prime location on the second floor. Decorated in vibrant shades of red and blue, this elegant space offers breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast from every room. Although it is fully equipped with modern amenities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a kitchen complete with appliances, the apartment retains its aristocratic charm, including a unique cave passage leading to the villa's elevator.
The spacious interiors and the striking views of the apartments can be enjoyed in all seasons. It is close to many outstanding villages, historic sites and locations ( Ravello, Positano, Emerald Grotto, Paestum, Pompeii, Capri, etc..), offers access to the great cities of of Naples and Salerno, and is ideally situated to enjoy the many attractions and events that the Amalfi Coast can offer.

Amalfi, Italy - Amalfi Coast
Amalfi is a beautiful seaside town of about 5,500 residents. It sits perched along the famous Amalfi Coast, one of Europe’s most dramatic stretches of road. Historically it is one of the original ancient Maritime Republics and a major port and trading center in the Mediterranean.
This town offers stunning vistas, lovely piazzas lined with cafes and restaurants and shops for all of your needs. There are also some fine sights, such as the town’s Duomo, Sant’Andrea. Enjoy the church itself or visit its Cloister of Paradise and Crypt where the remains of Saint Andrew are kept. Or just relax along on its lovely beach.
Amalfi is a great home base for hopping all along the coast. Buses and ferries keep regular schedules and make day trips to places like Positano, Sorrento, Pompeii and Capri very easy.
When traveling to the Amalfi Coast, it's essential to be prepared for a landscape characterized by dramatic cliffs, narrow streets, and picturesque villages perched on steep hillsides. This unique topography means that stairs are an integral part of the experience, as many locations are accessible only by foot. The stairs can range from quaint, narrow alleyways to long flights that connect different levels of the town or lead down to the sea. While this might require more effort, it also offers a more intimate and immersive experience, providing breathtaking views and the opportunity to explore hidden gems. Embracing the stairs is a part of embracing the authentic charm and beauty of the Amalfi Coast.
