Welcome to the.. jungle? [CLUE]

Welcome to the forum 

As in the famous Youtube joke with the German Coast Guard: Mayday, Mayday, We are sinking. What are you sinking of?
So would you be so kind as to give us a clue?
I just made this post to bring it up on the list before it reaches the bottom of the ocean.

Here's the clue:

SPOILER: Click to show

It was a private road leading to the majestic villas on top of the tuff cliff. It was dismissed long before the 'Clinica Mediterranea' on the right was built.

Also, sorry for the cryptic puzzle, it's my first one. I still need to calibrate the difficulty.

Welcome, veyyark!!  Don't apologize for the puzzle.  We seem to be on a roll with difficult puzzles lately.
Find a comfy padded cell stay a while.

Thanks for the clue.
You really should calibrate difficulty a little bit because this puzzle was like 0 vs. 100 (clue 1 vs clue 2) on a scale of 100 regarding the clue

Welcome to the forum - enjoy. Rumour has it that there are many here that enjoy a really challenging puzzle - carry on.

Thanks to hhgygy for boosting this to the top again, I'd missed it.

First of all, welcome to F&G. You'll see, it's very user-friendly. Well, it's friendly, anyway.

Second, thanks for the clue.

Third, the question I'll ask again and again and again: how were we supposed to find this without a clue? In other words, how did ndrqu find it?

Thanks. But I guess you know the place.


Oh, and you'll have to explain the "Street" one too. 

thanks for the clue

welcome veyyark!

Welcome aboard Veyyark, and thanks for the clue!

Thanks for the clue; perhaps it was a little too helpful!

Thanks to everyone! I already like this community.

Here's the solution:

Actually this was a private road built in order to connect the big old abandoned building (please refer to the Maps link below) to the street. The building was dismissed and looted and the road was then used by the people of villa that you can see in the photo I posted. The luxurious villa is actually "Villa Crespi", planned and designed by Davide Pacanowski. The particularity of the villa is that it was built in 1952 with some advanced building methods, like the big central pillar entirely set in the tuff and the facade made of the same material.

Some old photos (you can see the upper part of the road of the photo, now dismissed too): www.architettiroma.it/monitor/d/progetto.asp?id=838

The "Clinica Mediterranea" is the building on the right. It was a shortcut I added in the clue because I thought that the puzzle could result too difficult.
