Overlooking the Bay of Naples, this majestic property rises steeply above the sea on a cliff. With one of the most beautiful views in the world and a splendor rarely seen, both inside and out, Villa Astor has rightly been called “Paradise”. Its long history dates back to the 1st century A.D., when Agrippa Postumus, grandson of the emperor Augustus, made it his residence. Villa Astor has long been the residence and destination of the rich and noble. Purchased by one of the wealthiest men of the time, Lord William Waldorf Astor, in 1905, the Villa became his passion project. He expanded the grounds and designed a splendid garden at the back of the house, where a Dominican monastery once stood. His last addition to the property was the “Pompeian” villa, which he decorated with Ionic columns and neoclassical frescoes by a Roman artist, Mario Spinetti. After his death, the Villa went through a period of obscurity, although it still attracted personalities such as Benedetto Croce, a revered Italian philosopher and politician, who lived there during the Second World War. In the 1970s, Villa Astor was acquired by a wealthy family, Mariano Pane and his wife, who hosted many illustrious guests, including Princess Margaret, Rudolf Nuriev, Gregory Peck, Sofia Loren, Franco Zeffirelli and Gianni Agnelli. Today, Villa Astor is the benchmark for luxury accommodation on the Amalfi Coast. Located in Sorrento, it is accessible from Naples International Airport, 50 km away.

Villa Astor offers 6 luxurious suites individually designed by decorator Jacques Garcia. They are filled with art objects worthy of a museum of Greek and Roman antiquities. These are also found in the gardens where columns, statues and fountains are displayed. The lush 20,000 square meter garden has a panoramic view of the sea and Vesuvius, a breathtaking setting for wedding receptions. Villa Astor offers a wide range of chic and sophisticated venues to host the wedding, dinner and party of your dreams. Indeed, it offers access to the beachfront gazebo terrace, the roof terrace, inside a natural sea cave or in the property’s extensive garden. The maximum capacity of Villa Astor is 200 people for an Italian-style wedding. Thanks to its suites, it can accommodate up to 20 guests.

TORINO

  • PALAZZO REALE

The travel books of the last century are full of stories about the magnificence of the royal residence. They celebrate the vast rooms, the carved and gilded ceilings, the paintings, the tapestries, the mountain crystal lamps, the furniture and tools, chiseled, inlaid, plated, rich in gold, precious stones, mother-of-pearl and ivory, and the floors engaged and inlaid with different types of wood. Over the centuries, the renovations – entrusted to Juvarra and Alfieri in the eighteenth century and to Palagi in the nineteenth century – have made the Royal Palace a unique example of the harmonious union of different architectural styles. The elegance of the seventeenth-century façade and the splendor of its many richly furnished rooms reflect the sumptuous life of the Court and testify to the centuries of history of the House of Savoy. In its halls were welcomed noblemen, politicians and representatives of the foreign state, who could enjoy the beauty of the interior rooms. Designed by the architect Amedeo di Castellamonte, it was the residence of the House of Savoy until 1865. The ostentation of an architectural style reminiscent of Versailles, with the throne room, the dining and dance halls, the tapestries that cover the walls of the rooms make the atmosphere that one breathes when visiting the Royal Palace of Turin a dream of history of the House of Savoy. he Palazzo Reale is the ideal place to host special events that require a setting rich in history, art and memory. Given the delicacy of the spaces and collections, events must be compatible and respectful of the needs of the public and the works. Outdoor events can be held in the Cour d’honneur and the Royal Gardens, taking into account the limitations of the architectural features of the Royal Museums. The 185,800 m2 museum has 6 stools : Royal Library, Royal Armory, Archeological Museum, Sabauda Gallery, Royal Gardens, Chiablese Palace.
