La Villa Fondi De Sangro in Piano di Sorrento houses the ‘George Vallet’ Territorial Archaeological Museum of the Sorrento Peninsula. Built in 1840 in neoclassical style at the behest of Giovanni Andrea De Sangro, Prince of Fondi, the villa features stuccoes, majolica and frescoes, as well as one of the typical nineteenth-century gardens..
Villa Fondi is located on a striking tuffaceous ridge above the sea, overlooking the gulf and Marina di Cassano in particular.
Today, the Villa not only houses the Archaeological Museum, but is also a venue for congresses, exhibitions and weddings. Its highly impressive terrace features a majolica-tiled paving depicting rose petals and offers a beautiful panorama of the Gulf of Naples.
