In April the whole hillside smells of zagara, lemon blossom, and the villa takes its name from it. Villa Zagara stands in the hamlet of Lone, 250 metres above Amalfi, among terraces of lemons, with the Lattari mountains behind and the sea in front. The mule path to the harbour begins at the gate.<\/p>\n
The house is an old farmhouse expanded over two centuries: thick stone walls, a vaulted kitchen, an outdoor dining arbour. Five bedrooms spread across two wings, three with bathrooms ensuite, two sharing. The furniture is old and honest: ironwork beds, painted wardrobes, linen from the village.<\/p>\n
A saltwater pool sits on the lowest terrace, with loungers and a view that stretches along the coast to Capri on clear days. Above it, a pergola, a wood oven and an outdoor kitchen. Lemons, figs and herbs are yours to pick, and the owners will cook you a farmhouse supper on request.<\/p>\n
It is a walker’s villa. You can reach Amalfi on foot in about forty minutes along the old Via Maestra dei Villaggi, return by taxi or bus, and take the valley trail to the Paper Museum. The road to the house is narrow; a car is useful but not essential, and we meet guests at the village for the last stretch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
