Villa Amalfitana offers spectacular, azure sea views from three levels of spacious terraces covered by violet bougainvillea pergolas. Located along one of the most enchanting spots of the renowned Amalfi Coast, Villa Amalfitana's two-story main villa and separate dependence unit are nestled amidst vibrant green olive groves, pine trees, and other Meditarreanean plants cascading down to the sea. The many outdoor areas offer wonderful opportunities for relaxing in complete privacy, making it an ideal place for a family reunion or getaway with friends.

The magnificent main villa features a large dining/sitting room furnished in elegant coastal style. Comfortable leather sofas and chairs rest upon terracotta floors with eye-catching zodiac shaped inserts. Gather around the beautiful crystal table with marble base for delicious Italian cuisine, then share a bottle of wine before the open fireplace. French windows reveal breathtaking views of the sea and iron shutters open onto the airy terrace, which features built-in seating, wicker chairs and open views of the Amalfi Coast.

The main villa's master bedroom opens onto a private, furnished balcony with a spectacular view of the blue sea, which is echoed in the balcony's glowing blue printed tiles. An en suite bathroom with hydromassage shower completes the master bedroom. Two queen and one queen/twin bedrooms offer charming and comfortable options for friends and family. Enjoy the sea view and garden view from the first bedroom, or relax in front of French windows and garden view in the second bedroom, with bathroom and massage shower. A stunning panoramic window and a skylight in the bathroom with shower welcome the Italian sunlight into the third bedroom. All bedrooms feature satellite TV and air conditioning. The dependence unit is perfect for extra privacy; a small family would enjoy its queen and twin bedroom with en suite bathrooms; charming curved ceilings; satellite TV and French doors that open onto the airy terrace.

Two restaurants are within walking distance of the villa (but the villa's excellent cook may make you want to stay!), and the town centre of nearby Amalfi provides additional dining, entertainment, shopping and essentials. The SITA bus stop is a few steps from the villa gate—Amalfi is a quick 15-minute trip and Positano a mere 35 minutes. Positano, as well as Capri, Ischia and Salerno, is also accessible from Amalfi by boat or hydrofoil. From Positano, you can also enjoy a trip to Napoli or Sorrento by boat or hydrofoil.

What to do along the Amalfi Coast
In addition to lovely beaches, Positano offers an abundance of cafes, shops, art galleries and restaurants. A scenic drive along the coastal road (SS145) takes visitors to Praiano, Amalfi and the spellbinding up-hill town of Ravello, with its incomparable belvedere. Other excursion possibilities include a boat trip to the islands, a visit to vibrant Napoli or Salerno, or an exploration of Pompeii and Herculaneum—the fascinating ruins of ancient cities destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 1st century A.D.
