This luxury villa was completely focused on attention to detail.  It is lo­cated in a quiet and pleas­ant lo­ca­tion in the city cen­ter, 85 steps down­hill from the main road. With breath­tak­ing views of Posi­tano and the Amalfi Coast’s mul­ti­col­ored sun­sets. 
These elegant suites are adorned with styl­ish an­tiques, Vi­etri tiles floors, in­laid ceil­ings and breath­tak­ing views of the sea.

Every morning you can go down stairs to enjoy the elaborate breakfast buffet in their eating area and sit at the tables that overlook the ocean and watch all the boats getting ready for the day. I also really enjoyed just having cocktails in the lobby area. It's a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing. The lobby has its own bar so you can have specialty cocktails while you enjoy the views of the ocean. They also have a outdoor pool area that serves food, so lunch by the pool is a fun option if you need a break from the sand.
