A heritage villa set amongst the back drop of wonderful Positano

Villa San Giacomo is a historical 18th Century villa set amongst the hills overlooking wonderful Positano, and offering all the comforts of 5-star luxury.

The beautiful gardens feature bougainvillea, lemon and orange trees, plus a large 300 sqm of terraces offer stunning views of the Amalfi Coast.

Set amongst the gardens is the swimming pool which also provides guests with those wonderful vistas. A gorgeous outdoor dining area on the terrace provides the perfect venue for al fresco breakfasts, sunset aperitifs and romantic candlelit dinners. Yet more spectacular views can be enjoyed from the terraces of the villa’s fantastic suites.

Villa San Giacomo sleeps 16 guests in eight luxurious double suites and is set over four floors. The villa is lavished with magnificent chandeliers, rare antiques and period artworks. Each and every room in the property is a veritable treasure chest brimming with the traces of this palatial villa’s aristocratic past.

The main entrance is from the second floor, though guests can also access the house from the Mediterranean garden. The second floor features a beautiful, large kitchen, where the chef will cook up delicious traditional dishes. On the same floor there is a spacious living and dining area.

On the third floor there are four suites each with their own private bathroom boasting beautiful Neapolitan ceramics. There are also two attic suites with two en-suite double bedrooms each, available on request.

For those looking for luxury on the Amalfi Coast, Villa San Giacomo is the place in which to find it.

About the area

Villa San Giacomo is located in Positano, which is the iconic representation of an Amalfi town, with buildings clinging in tiers to the rock face. The white of the buildings are a perfect canvas for the bright flowers which decorate the houses and the small artisans’ shops with their multi-hued cloths.

Getting around Positano is largely a matter of walking; there are dozens of narrow alleys and stairways that make walking relatively easy and joyously traffic-free. Otherwise an orange bus follows the lower ring road every half-hour passing along Viale Pasitea, Via Cristoforo Colombo and Via Marconi.

Positano is one of the 13 towns along the Amalfi Coast and Villa Oliviero is ideally situated to explore other nearby towns such as Ravello, Amalfi and Sorrento.

The Amalfi Coast has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its undisputed beauty and the uniqueness of its natural landscape.
