It’s hard to go wrong when renting an Italian villa with sea views, but this Neopolitan Airbnb is especially remarkable because it is featured in one of Netflix’s hotest new series: Ripley.

The dreamy house where Richard Greenleaf (AKA Dikie) lives in the riveting Netflix black-and-white show is not actually in Atrani, where the series is mostly set, it’s on the island of Capri, off the Almafi coast and the cities of Naples and Sorrento. The grand white villa is perched on the island’s cliffs above the port of Marina Grande, and is surrounded by a large garden full of palm and pine trees. Villa Torricella, as it is named, also faces the Gulf of Naples, providing guests with the same extraordinary views of the area that Dickie, Tom, and Marge enjoy in the series.

The villa, with its square tower, semicircular and gothic arches, scalloped and lace details, and onion domes is certainly not discreet, but it fits trust-fund Dickie and his artistic and opulent lifestyle, and it might just fit your need for an elegant vacation in the sun.

Inside the historic home, the decor is less extravagant and a little more retro, with a variety of colorful 60s-style tiles and antique furniture throughout. The interior decor is almost identical as what’s featured in the series, down to the chandelier, the living room furniture, and the tiles, except that because the series is in black and white, the house looks a lot more polished than it is in reality. However, even indoors there are a few fancy architectural touches like arched ceilings, twisted columns, and arched doorways, just so you don’t forget that you’re not in a bog standard Airbnb.

While this Airbnb has only one bedroom and two bathrooms, it can accommodate up to six guests. That said, choose those with whom you’ll share this beautiful house wisely — Dickie certainly should have.

While in the series the walk to Dickie’s house from the center of town is a maze of dozens of tiny and steep staircases, this is not the case for Villa Torricella. The bus stop, supermarket, beach, and port are nearby.
