The Mediterranean, Just Outside Your Door

The private pool of La Balena Blu facing the Mediterranean

Spend the day between the pools and the sea, with the Mediterranean stretching endlessly beyond the terrace.

Two heated pools — a lap pool in the garden and a lounge pool on the rooftop — sun-drenched loungers and shaded outdoor spaces create an effortless setting for slow afternoons and golden-hour aperitivi, in every season.

A “Guest Favourite” — among the top 1% of homes on Airbnb.

“We can't say enough wonderful things about our stay! We were a group of 10, including 6 children, and this house was absolutely perfect. The house was immaculate, well organised and had everything we needed. The children loved the pools, Angela's breakfasts were fantastic, and having breakfast made for us every morning left us feeling completely spoilt. Luca is an incredible host — responsive, helpful, always available. The pizza party with Luca on our last night was the perfect ending. Five stars all around!”
HeatherEdmonton, Canada
“The best Mediterranean escape. Perched spectacularly on the cliffs, the villa offers breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean — we are already rebooking. Direct access to the sea via a private path was an absolute luxury, the two pools are pristine, and the hospitality was unmatched. The highlight were the private dinners prepared by Luca: authentic multi-course meals that could easily rival any fine restaurant. Thank you, Luca and Angela, for an unforgettable ten-star experience!”
JenniferAshburn, Virginia
“An absolutely wonderful stay in a truly unique location. The views are spectacular and Luca helped us plan and organise every activity — transport, boat trips, restaurant bookings, everything. The beach is within walking distance and far better than expected. The rooftop pizza class was fantastic too!”
GalynaAlexandria, Virginia
“A wonderful stay, made even better by Angela's fantastic breakfast every day. Luca and his team were extremely responsive. The house was spacious and spotless, with the beach and local restaurants within walking distance. Easy to reach Positano, Pompei and more.”
