Villa Rocca Matilde, 19th-century seaside villa in Posillipo, Italy
Villa Rocca Matilde stands on Via Posillipo with faux-crenelated towers constructed above a former 17th-century palace, featuring three floors within an octagonal tower structure.
Luisa Dillon Strahan, Marchesa di Salza, acquired the property in 1842 and named it after her daughter Matilde, before subsequent ownership by George Wightwick Rendel.
The villa maintains its original architectural elements, including decorative dragons flanking the main staircase and historical floor tiles throughout the building.
The property provides direct access to ferry services connecting visitors to the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Sorrento, and the island of Capri.
From the top floor, guests can experience panoramic views spanning the Gulf of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, and surrounding islands through large windows.
