Villa Ivana — Private Estate in Massa Lubrense for Weddings, Micro MICE and Bespoke Mediterranean Stays by Camisa Essential

Villa Ivana is a private Mediterranean estate in Massa Lubrense, set between the historic centre of the town and the marina, in one of the most authentic corners of the Sorrento Coast. It is a villa designed for guests who want privacy, sea views, generous outdoor living and a refined but relaxed Italian rhythm. The estate combines the character of an eighteenth-century residence with the comfort of a fully serviced villa: gardens, panoramic terraces, two private swimming pools, outdoor dining areas, professional kitchens, en-suite bedrooms and a natural connection to the sea, Capri, Sorrento, Nerano and the Amalfi Coast.

The property unfolds across approximately two hectares, with more than 7,000 square metres dedicated to Mediterranean gardens, parking, swimming pools, barbecue areas and outdoor wellness spaces. More than one hectare is reserved for orange groves, olive trees and organic cultivation, giving the estate a real sense of place: this is not only a holiday villa, but a small private world shaped by citrus, stone, sea air and southern Italian light. Villa Ivana is therefore particularly suited to guests who want a residence with atmosphere, land, view and service potential, rather than a conventional coastal rental.

The historic building, dating back to 1728, extends over approximately 650 square metres and is organised around porticoes, reception rooms, kitchens, bedrooms with private bathrooms and panoramic terraces. The villa offers a 360-degree visual relationship with the surrounding landscape, making it ideal for slow mornings, sunset aperitivi, wedding photography, private dinners and discreet corporate gatherings. Its architecture carries the charm of an old southern Italian palazzo, while the layout allows for contemporary hospitality, multi-generational groups and curated in-villa experiences.

Villa Ivana accommodates 17 guests plus 3 additional guests, subject to final sleeping configuration. The layout includes nine bedrooms, all with private bathrooms with showers. The room distribution is particularly useful for family groups, private celebrations, intimate weddings and micro MICE retreats, because it offers both common areas and independent accommodation spaces.

The kitchens include dishwasher, fridge, freezer, oven, kettle, toaster, blender, coffee machine and ice machine.

The ground floor also gives direct access to the outdoor lifestyle of the estate: two private swimming pools, garden areas, barbecue zones and circulation spaces for guest movement during private events. There are two laundry areas, each with a service bathroom.

Villa Experience

The estate is designed for outdoor living. Days at Villa Ivana can begin with breakfast in the courtyard, continue by the pool, unfold through a light lunch in the garden and close with a private dinner under the Mediterranean sky. The presence of two pools allows the villa to manage larger groups with comfort, while the gardens and terraces offer multiple atmospheres: one area for children or families, another for quiet reading, another for aperitivo, another for a special dinner or event set-up.

For leisure guests, Villa Ivana is a strong base for the Sorrento Coast, Capri, Nerano, Massa Lubrense, Positano, Amalfi, Pompeii and the Gulf of Naples. It offers access to some of the most desired destinations in southern Italy while retaining the privacy and peace of an estate. Guests can move from villa life to boat days, coastal restaurants, beach clubs, cultural tours and slow countryside experiences without losing the feeling of being anchored in a private residence.
