Villa Sophia, Sant Agata, Sorrento Coast

The layout of Villa Sophia is the result of a transformation over the years of this old monastery while maintaining its original structural design in areas where, for example, the former refectory and chapel, a 14th century consecrated gem, destroyed during the Turkish invasion, lie.

The buildings were rebuilt by heirs who expended considerably to hire vintage artists to redesign the floor, its stucco works, its gildings, and paintings.  The décor and quality of the furniture is superb; detailed and carefully selected to the highest standards.  The floors have been made with Napoletan terracotta tiles, bathrooms have been decorated with ceramic tiles from Vietri Sul Mare, and the textiles and tents are from the prestigious silk factories of San Leucio.
