La dolce vita
Positano is a small town with a very big reputation for its spectacular beauty! It’s also home to a remarkable property that evokes the most glamorous of holiday fantasies: a luxurious villa residence on the stunning Amalfi Coast of Italy. With a superb hillside location and position within an exclusive area, the villa is arranged at different levels to provide spine-tingling panoramic views of the Amalfi coast and bay of Positano: Li Galli (Roosters’ island) is straight ahead and the town of Positano is on the right, cascading down the hillside. Though the winding main hill road is close to the villa, there’s much privacy because the property is not overlooked and all bedrooms and garden terraces face the sea. Guests can often be overwhelmed by the gorgeous view from this villa and by its mature, terraced and picturesque garden that enhances the property’s immense charm. In the garden there is a small swimming pool, an outside Jacuzzi and solarium. There are steps that lead down to an alternative entrance to the lower bedrooms and continue (for about 270 steps) to a small rocky beach, Arienzo. Here guests can catch a water taxi to the main beach in Positano, one kilometre away across the bay. The Amalfi Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape and is conveniently near to the vibrant city Naples and the historic Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. The beguiling island of Capri and other famously beautiful coastal towns (Praiano, Ravello, etc.) are within easy reach by boat and by car respectively.
This lovely family home is set over 2 floors and one guest annex, with a total of 6 double bedrooms en suite that sleep up to 12 people. The bedrooms can be arranged in other configurations if desired (e.g. 4 twin/2 doubles, etc.) and one bedroom suite is in the annex, which has its own entrance. A second independent annex houses the staff quarters. All bedrooms have independent air-conditioning, safe deposit boxes and iPod docks. Bathrooms are modern, appointed with stylish showers and fixtures. Everybody is guaranteed a beautiful sea view from their bedroom window: the two on the upper level have balconies and those on the lower level open out on to a continuous terrace. Sliding glass windows open the living and dining areas to a veranda facing the bay and there is great attention to detail in the decoration and furnishing of the rooms: wrought-iron bedheads; vibrantly-coloured and well-appointed furnishings and fabrics harmoniously contrast with the décor’s primarily green and blue colour motif. Classy and ultra-chic pastel sky-blue local majolica floor tiles adds sparkle to the villa, which presents a wonderful Mediterranean setting for a first-rate, top-notch holiday.
This luxurious villa has unmatched views from bedrooms, lounges and terraces. It is the place to live and to experience the incredibly amazing beauty of Positano, which is less than 5 minutes’ drive from the villa. The villa is also airy and “open”, though its external spaces are somewhat curtailed by the nature of the terrain on which the property is configured. Subsequently the villa’s steep hillside position, terracing and the many steps in and around the property may make this luxury villa less suited for families with small children or elderly members.
