La Culla convent guest house is situated in an 18th century Italian villa, atop a small hill approximately 1.2 km from the heart of Sorrento. The building is bordered by wide, covered terraces and loggias, all with panoramic views over the Bay of Naples and Mt Vesuvius. Many of the upstairs guest rooms share the same spectacular outlook.
CLOSED BETWEEN 1 NOVEMBER AND 31 MARCH.
What a location! Perched on a scenic clifftop in the coastal resort town of Sant'Agnello, and with extraordinary views over the Gulf of Naples to Vesuvius, Villa Crawford was once the home of American writer Francis Marion Crawford, who died in 1909. In 1954 the Crawford family donated the sprawling property to the religious Institute of Maria Ausiliatrice, who opened the doors to receive overnight guests.
