Description

VILLA DELL’ULIVETO – POSITANO

5+1 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Property 69 enjoys a lovely position on the Amalfi Coast, halfway between Piano di Sorrento and Positano, surrounded by lemon groves and olive trees. Quieter than nearby Sorrento but just as charming, Piano di Sorrento offers a relaxed atmosphere, local shops, and beautiful sea views, while Positano, a short drive away, is famous for its colourful cliffside houses, boutiques, and lively waterfront. Thanks to its location, the villa is perfectly placed for exploring both the Amalfi Coast and the surrounding countryside.

The Sorrentine Peninsula is renowned for its dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and enchanting views. Just a short drive from the villa, Sorrento captivates visitors with its lively piazzas, lemon-scented lanes, and sea-facing terraces. Beyond its vibrant centre, you will find quieter corners like the charming fishing village of Marina Grande, the peaceful cloister of San Francesco, and artisan shops selling the town’s famous inlaid woodwork and traditional ceramics.

Heading further along the coast, Positano is an unforgettable sight, with its colourful houses clinging to steep cliffs and winding staircases leading down to a sun-kissed beach. Whether you spend your time shopping in its elegant boutiques, dining by the sea, or exploring hidden coves by boat, Positano promises glamour and beauty in equal measure. For a touch of history and adventure, the nearby islands of Li Galli offer excellent snorkelling in a mythical setting once said to be home to Homer’s sirens.

Amalfi, once a powerful maritime republic, is rich in charm and tradition. Its majestic cathedral, pretty piazzas, and maze-like streets make it a joy to explore. From here, it is a short drive to Ravello, perched high above the sea. Known for its elegant villas and panoramic gardens, Ravello has long inspired artists and writers. Whether you are enjoying a concert in Villa Rufolo or simply soaking up the views, this hilltop gem captures the quiet, timeless beauty of the Amalfi Coast.
