Description :
A few miles from Vico Equense, between Naples and Sorrento, is Villa Giusso Astapiana, a former monastery transformed into an elegant Manor House. As you walk through the stone archway into the main courtyard, you feel as though you have stepped back in time. The owners have kept its original seventeenth century structure in the main building, the hermits' cells, the wine cellar with original barrels, jars and wine presses and the original kitchen completely tiled with Vietri ceramics.
You can relax on the incredible stone terrace overlooking the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius, wander around the vineyards and olive groves or simply visit the many wonderful amenities of the Monastery. Villa Giusso is fascinating and intriguing. Off the one long corridor are three double bedrooms and one family suite, all with period furniture. All rooms have access to newly rennovated private bathrooms. Read more...

More information about Villa Giusso Astapiana
It is difficult to imagine to be a few km from Sorrento (km 10), Pompei (km 22) and the Amalfi coast (km 20) and at the same time away from crowds and traffic, but all doubts are washed away as you are approaching Astapiana Villa Giusso.
Suspended between sky and sea, this charming, 16th century, dwelling, once a monastery, so full of past reminders... but present, suggests to return in peace with oneself and others, throughout the contemplation of nature and the discovery of agricultural life.
In 1822, the property was bought by Luigi Giusso, duke of Galdo, the present owner’s ancestor. Now Erminia and Giovanna invite you to experience their hospitality and the beauty and fascination of this historical site. A welcome drink awaits for you on the stone terrace: from this point, the view is absolutely mesmerising: Ischia, The Vesuvius and the bay of Naples, against an amazing sunset.
The bedrooms are full of romance with original iron-beds and 18th century furnishings.
You may breakfast on fresh ricotta, fruits and home made cakes in the majestic kitchen with the original ceramic tiles and large fireplace. Dinner is also available on demand.
If you are looking for something different, Villa Giusso is the answer: don’t miss this unique and relaxing opportunity to travel back in time!

Further details indoors:
Villa Giusso offers a retreat of relaxation and simplicity unlike any other. If you are looking for a peaceful and enthralling getaway, Villa Giusso is the answer.
There are six bedrooms and a nice self-catering dependence.
The bedrooms are in the main foresteria or in the monks’ abodes.
In the main foresteria, the bigger building, where in the past monks gave hospitality to travellers, the bedrooms are fascinating with original iron-beds and 18th century furnishings.
The monks’ abodes are the ancient cell, newly restored: the cell is like a cottage or little dependence and is composed by two double bedrooms each with bathroom. The bedrooms are charming and have a valuable modern advantage “the heating”. Here the guests have also a private garden at their disposal.
At your disposal, for weekly self-catering accommodation, the monks’ cell “Annunciata”. The “Annunciata” dependence is like a cottage, ideal solution for four people, with two charming bedrooms, one double and one twins, each with bathroom en suite, with a useful kitchenette, private garden.
Within the monastery, you can find some special rooms reserved for who require silence to work and concentrate: the “horses” hall and the reading room are available to host seminars, business meeting, workshops and small conventions of up to 50 people.
Further details outdoors:
For dolce farniente lovers, you could stop on the park, on the shadows of centennial oak trees or simply take a look around at the many wonderful amenities of the monastery... and relax on the incredible stone terrace overlooking the Bay of Naples, have a guided tour through the Monastery and at the Villa Giusso’s farm or walk in the countryside along the ring-walls, the “well-being pathway”, the naturalistic pathway.
At disposal of guests:
~ The first day after arrival: 5.00 p.m. guided tour through the Monastery and at the Villa Giusso’s farm;

We stayed at Villa Giusso in September 2008 and drove South from Rome using very good directions provided by Giovanna Rispoli. There were four of us in the party and after an easy 3 hour drive we arrived just before nightfall to be effusively greeted by Giulia , Giovanna’s mother. Having settled in to our rooms-ours was a small suite- we explored the house before eating in the refectory. Steeped in history the building retains a distinctly 18/19th century air but has 21st century bathrooms! ...
