Positano Villas

Villas

For more than two hundred years, Positano had been inhabited almost exclusively by fishermen and their families, right up until the start of the nineteen hundreds when artists, painters and writers discovered the town and elected it as coastal abode of an elite international literary circle.
Thus the colorful lanes of the small, vertically constructed village of Positano, began to fill with eccentric and sophisticated characters, its villas becoming inspirational locations for the composition of novels and journalistic essays, providing the perfect venue for afternoon gatherings and evening events.
Thanks to this influx of foreigners, the villas of Positano have conserved the architectural style of the fishermen’s houses whilst acquiring additional appeal from their status as celebrity residences. Clinging perilously to the cliff edge, hidden among the trees, the colored villas of Positano guarantee their occupants the privacy which was much valued by the reserved population of the past and of vital importance to those who, in recent times, have decided to move here.
Whilst in Positano one can choose to completely immerse oneself in the coastal town’s highly fashionable and extremely cosmopolitan social life or seek refuge in one of its villas adorned with peaceful cloisters where to contemplate in glorious tranquility the splendid panoramas of the Amalfi Coast.
