Villa Amalfi will offer convenient access to major roads and highways as well as proximity to shopping and dining venues in Bradenton and Sarasota. The property will feature a range of common-space amenities such as a swimming pool with spa and cabana.

The selection of floor plans at Villa Amalfi includes three Tuscan-style layouts varying in size from 1,400 to 1,500 square feet. The Crystal Sand plan comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the Tidewater and Tidewater B plans offer two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a den.

Villa Amalfi is expected to open in early 2016.
