Heavenly Family Villa Perched High above Positano

Take a trip back to another time, to a place so authentic and charming that it’s hard to remember what stress is… The original family home of a local hotelier, staying here is an experience not just accommodation. Let’s start with the location. The rental home is nestled in Nocelle, high above Positano (20 mins by car) and is the starting point of the famed hiking trail: The Pathway of the Gods … need we say more... Poised between heaven and earth, loaded with yesteryear charm but offering all mod cons, this Positano home is truly a retreat. We suggest arriving with a driver (we have conveniently included a full transport package in the villa cost) to your first surprise. The semi-steep path to the home incorporates plenty of dramatic scenery and plenty of steps, so meet the friendly luggage donkey! This part of Italy, with its precipitous terrain, still uses donkeys to move heavy goods. Entering through the home’s stunning pool patio and trying to tear yourself away from the utterly divine views becomes difficult. A beautifully restored and well-furnished villa awaits. Days in the sun admiring the view turn into balmy nights of alfresco dining amazed by the twinkling lights of Positano below. Here, birdsong and tranquility reign, stresses cease, and the past seems like a very good option.
