Picture Perfect Villa with Views over Positano
"Falcons soaring overhead, Capri and the Galli Islands beckoning in the foreground ... the quiet... and the outdoor gym... it’s magic here! " - Reviewed by Lisa
An infinity pool hangs high above the Mediterranean in one of the world’s most sought-after areas with never-ending views out to the Galli islands. Positano and the Amalfi Coast stretch away to your left with one dramatic rocky headline after another. The world’s most-photographed colorful villages cascade down endless cliffs as if falling into the bluest of seas. This will be your daily view here in this sumptuous retreat at the end of a road which is not only flanked by world-class vistas to the south but a totally-uninhabited, natural preserve to the north.
The peace and tranquility, the spectacular views and the heady, aromatic air almost take your breath away. You can’t help but stop, look, and take in the sheer beauty that surrounds. You are in a very special place.
This is a home in which to relax and get away from reality.
So, go ahead and invest your time and currency further afield during the day. Then come home to a private chef or the best pizza or local, home-cooked food takeaway you could ever want.

The two bedrooms on the entryway level share a bathroom situated between the two rooms.

Living Areas
Where does the living begin? You really start to “live” when you step out of the car and walk down the wisteria-covered stairway to the jaw-dropping views of the Galli Islands. With an infinite number of sunny days on the Amalfi Coast, chances are patios doors will be flung open allowing the sunshine and breezes to envelop every patio, terrace and living/dining space.
So many options! Where to begin? Start the day with a cup of coffee on the lower terrace while contemplating the remarkable ocean views. Enjoy an al fresco breakfast on the spacious patio under a shady awning. What’s next? Maybe swing for a while in a hammock under a fig tree? Lounge about at the pool cabana with its flowery white curtains? Did I mention the massage cabana nestled in a grove of olive trees? Tough, really, to decide how best to “live” in this home!
If ever a rare episode of inclement weather should confine you to the cozy home, you can snuggle on the comfy sofas, light the fire, watch TV or relax in the Jacuzzi.

ENCHANTING EXTERIORS
The outside of this home deserves a special mention as guests will want to spend as much – if not more – time here than inside the home. Multiple terraces cascade down towards the ocean – each with a sitting area, hammock or place to rest, relax or take a meal.
A large pool terrace with covered pergola makes the ideal place to while away the day. And the lovely infinity pool is the ideal place to cool off and marvel at the beauty that surrounds.
