ParasoleItaly, Amalfi Coast, Positano

No detail has been overlooked in the refurbishment of this luxury villa, which tastefully marries original and period features with contemporary soft furnishings to create an exclusive ambience. The last word in quality restoration, Villa Parasole offers extremely comfortable accommodation in one of Positano's most prestigious properties.

You can walk to restaurants and shops in the village, and down to the beach, but if you prefer to spend most of your time relaxing at the villa, some or all of your meals can be prepared for you by the discreet and professional staff who will ensure you are very well looked after. There are plenty of attractive places to unwind: as well as the main terrace with its comfortable seating, there are various sun terraces, the pool area and a pretty lawned garden, all of which offer stunning panoramic views of the town and sea. Internally, the rooms are spacious and elegantly furnished; each thoughtfully-styled bedroom has a door opening onto a terrace and its own ensuite shower room. There is air conditioning throughout and every room has a sea view.

Positano makes an excellent base for visiting the world-famous Amalfi coast. Nearby at historic Amalfi and also at Vietri sul Mare you will find ceramics of the highest quality; charming Ravello offers music galore during the season as well as the well-known gardens at Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, which are open to visitors. Make the most of your holiday and take a boat trip along the coast to a hidden beach, or to the island of Capri. Alternatively, why not go a little further afield and climb up to the crater of Mount Vesuvius or spend a day at Pompeii or Herculaneum? There is something to appeal to every taste here at this Positano Amalfi coast luxury villa with private pool.
