Posillipo

 
Southwest of Naples is Posillipo, a ridge of hills 6km/4mi long, covered with villas and gardens, between the Bay of Naples and the Bay of Pozzuoli, with magnificent views. The name comes from a villa called Pausilypon ("Sans-Souci") which belonged to the notorious epicure Vedius Pollio and later to Augustus.
