La Calcara, an arquitectural prize winning design Villa, sits in the middle of a 7.5 acres private estate that runs from the Amalfitan road all the way to the sea . It is surrounded by lemon, orange and olive orchards, that toghether with bouganvilleas in a typical gently terraced landscape they create the classic postcard Mediterranean atmosphere. Natural surroundings are astounding . The sea is blue with shades of turqouise, dolphins and marine life can be seen both from the private bay that the Villa has exclusive access to, and from the pool area. In the water fishes are schooling and it looks like an aquarium. Scenes from every corner of the property and the sounds of nature work to make its own ultimate beauty .The scents outrageously present in the air, and the colors of the joyous local architecture are shimmering with all their intensity. The lucky guests who will be able to come will be able to see the Amalfi Coast in all of its splendour.
THE POOL AREA
Its large infinity sea water pool wiith its 18mx8m in size creates the feeling of being suspended upon the Mediterranean sea. Guarenteeing water temperature always in excess of 82º F (28ºC), the pool is HEATED with two powerful 24kw heat pumps in the months of March(second half), April, May, September, October and November(first half). The pool water, being directly pumped from the sea, is treated with the ozonator system that eliminates chlorine and other chemicals thus preserving the natural flavour of the mediterranean sea below. The result is having the sea below the Villa, delivered up to the house pool area, all for a stunning swimming experience from March 15th to November 30th.
