Villa Carafa d'Andria de Cillis, Neoclassical villa and bed and breakfast in Torre del Greco, Italy
Villa Carafa d'Andria de Cillis is a Neoclassical manor house and guesthouse in Torre del Greco featuring Art Nouveau design elements set within a 1.5-hectare landscaped park. The property sits near Vesuvius National Park and combines residential rooms with common areas for guests.
Construction of the villa began in 1790, and it became the private residence of Marquise Eleonora Carafa d'Andria during the Grand Tour period when wealthy Europeans traveled extensively. The building reflects the architectural trends of that era when Neoclassicism dominated elite tastes.
The rooms display original vaulted ceilings, antique furnishings, and traditional Vietri ceramic tiles that show the craftsmanship of the region. These details reveal how the wealthy lived and what they valued in their daily surroundings during past centuries.
The location sits near the archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum and offers cooking classes, wine tastings, and guided tours of the Amalfi Coast. Visitors can also arrange boat trips to nearby islands in the Bay of Naples.
The property offers direct views of both Mount Vesuvius and the island of Capri, two major landmarks of the Bay of Naples visible from the same location. This dual perspective makes it one of the few places where both views are accessible at once.
