About this property
Nestled into the lush cliffs of Positano, Casa Positanella feels like a secret garden cascading down towards the sea. Enter through an ivy-clad archway and you’re immediately enveloped by jasmine-scented air and the vivid colours of hand-painted tiles underfoot. Inside, vaulted ceilings, arched doorways and traditional Vietri ceramics echo the villa’s 17th-century roots, while bold textiles and carefully restored antiques bring warmth and charm to every corner.
The villa is split across two levels, connected by age-old stone steps that lead through terraced gardens blooming with lemon trees and bougainvillaea. With four en-suite bedrooms, each with its own outdoor access, Casa Positanella offers a sense of privacy and space. The kitchens are a food-lover’s dream, one with a wood-fired pizza oven, the other with a marble table and sea views that make cooking an event in itself.
Outside, there are multiple terraces to unwind on. Sip morning espresso on the panoramic patio or savour sunset cocktails on loungers overlooking Positano’s iconic stacked skyline. The pool is tucked within the greenery, complete with whirlpool jets and a shaded dining area beside it. Just a short stroll down the famous Positano steps, you'll find chic boutiques, family-run trattorias and the sandy curves of Spiaggia Grande.
Casa Positanella is perfectly placed in one of Positano’s most scenic spots, tucked just above the heart of town, yet close enough to wander into the lively bustle below. From the villa, meandering stairways lead you past cascading bougainvillaea, through little piazzas, artisan shops and on to the iconic Spiaggia Grande or the quieter Fornillo beach. Positano is a postcard come to life, with pastel-hued houses stacked against dramatic cliffs and the endless blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The area is famed for its hand-painted ceramics, elegant resort fashion and exquisite coastal cuisine, think fresh seafood, homemade limoncello and vibrant Neapolitan flavours. Historic churches and art galleries nestle among trattorias, while the nearby towns of Amalfi, Ravello and Sorrento offer days of exploration. For walkers, the Path of the Gods trail is within easy reach, offering spectacular clifftop views.
