Historic rustic villa for 12, with charming outdoor living spaces, a pool and picture-postcard views of Positano and the Amalfi Coast
Perched on the hillside above the Amalfi Coast, in the heart of an ancient olive grove, Villa Era is superbly located for a restful holiday close to Positano. Steeped in over 100 years of history, the villa seamlessly blends its past with the present, offering a luxurious stay in one of Italy’s most iconic locations.
The property (310 m²) is built around a gorgeous pool (6 x 10 m and maximum depth 3 m), amidst lush, luxuriant gardens alive with the scent of herbs and awash with vibrant pink, purple and flaming orange hued flowers. The villa’s layout, made up of several separate units connected by stone pathways, allows guests to retain privacy from the rest of the group. Several terracotta-paved terraces adorned with frescos and draped with bougainvillea are furnished with chairs and small tables and provide stunning sea views. There’s also a stone barbecue and woodburning pizza oven.
The interiors are packed with charm and character. The ground-floor lounge has a cosy feel, with sofas, armchairs, a fireplace and table for seven. The pool area leads to a stunning first-floor veranda with a dining table for 10 and from there, to the kitchen which has an elegant, polished wood dining table.
