5 Castles for sale in Campania

Naples, Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast give Campania some of Italy's most dramatic property settings — cliffside villas above the Tyrrhenian Sea and volcanic-soil countryside inland — in one of the country's most densely populated regions.

Coastal Amalfi and Capri properties command a serious premium for their views and scarcity of buildable land; volcanic soil inland around Vesuvius is fertile and comparatively affordable, though any purchase in the volcano's shadow warrants checking the local risk zoning before committing.
