Positano

Positano – The Pearl of the Amalfi Coast

“Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there, and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.”

– John Steinbeck

The Amalfi Coast and Positano conjures up our imagination of la dolce vita; the sweet life! You will be awe struck when you travel this 30-mile stretch of coastline. It is cut into the mountain with hairpin turns only allowing a 2-lane road which helps keep its charm, as you drive through the villages that dot this coastline. It forces you to slow down and experience an explosion of senses between the Mediterranean Sea below, the sun
kissed hillsides with the many terraces, the lemon groves high above and so much beauty you don’t know where to look first.

Please join us for an exceptional experience on the Amalfi Coast where your multi-million-dollar villa awaits. This is not a tour in the traditional sense — there is nothing traditional about it — just you and your friends who love food, wine, and travel. Our villas offer exceptional accommodations with privacy when you desire it, and social time when it suits you.
