La Rondinaia, Mediterranean villa in Ravello, Italy
The six-floor villa spans 600 square meters with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of the Gulf of Salerno through arched terraces and balconies.
Lucy Beckett, daughter of Ernest Beckett, constructed La Rondinaia in 1930 as an extension of Villa Cimbrone on the edge of a steep cliff.
American writer Gore Vidal owned the property from 1972 to 2006, hosting notable figures including Paul Newman, Mick Jagger, and Tennessee Williams.
The villa features seven bathrooms, multiple reception areas, and 4 hectares of gardens with cypress, lemon, pine, and olive trees.
Construction workers suspended themselves from ropes over cliff edges to build this residence, which sits 300 meters above the Mediterranean Sea.
