The Villa is located at the beginning of Valle dei Mulini, very near the ancient papermills, few of them still working, and just near the Papermuseum. We will go across the only carriage-road through the city, starting from Flavio Gioia square to Via delle Cartiere. Coming through Via Mansone I, we will reach the Dom Square with its staircase. Leaving the Cathedral at the back, we take the main road Via S.Lorenzo d'Amalfi with its typical bookshops, fruitshops, bakeries, fishshops and restaurants. After a while we will be under an arch, called "Faenza arch", with above coulored houses with their small windows and balconies, all in blooming. (On the right there is one of our private guarded carparking). Afterwards 20 meters from the arch, raise your eyes up on the left and.. welcome to Villa Lara.
Villa Lara, built in the late 1800s, is surrounded by the green of lemon groves and by the bright colors of flowering bougainville. Just a few steps from the Duomo and the sea, the villa enjoys a privileged position, perched on a cliff. It overlooks the entire ancient marine republic, permitting its visitors to fully immerse themselves in the teeming alleys and streets of the historic center in summer, while still enjoying complete tranquillity, far from every noise.
Passing through an elevator built entirely into the rock, or by a panoramic flight of stairs, you will reach one of the most beautiful terraces of Amalfi, with an incomparable, breathtaking view.
The rooms, especially welcoming and beautifully maintained, reflect the typical flavor of buildings of the Amalfi coast with their majolica tiles and ancient vaulted ceilings. The furnishings, strictly in antique style, are a marriage of elegance and practicality. The rooms are all equipped with bathroom with hydromassage tub or shower, hairdryer. In every room: Minibar, Air conditioning, Heating, Direct-line telephone, Color TV with cable, PC access, Safe
The panoramic view from Villa Lara is truly breathtaking. The hotel overlooks the main town from a height of 60 meters. Enjoying the view from either the breakfast terrace or one of the rooms' terraces is an unforgettable experience, where the intense blue of the sky mingles with the blue of the sea. You can also admire the ancient "Valley of the Mills", the one-time historical site of monumental paper factories and famous today for its delightful lemon groves.
