Villa San Giacomo - Unique Villa in Positano

VILLA SAN GIACOMO - POSITANO AREA A luxurious historic villa set in one of the most alluring sceneries of Italy, with views over Positano and the sea. Built in the 1700s by a wealthy merchant, it resides in the oldest part of Positano, overlooking the harbour, from where the merchants could see their ships sailing in. Like the villa’s first owners, today’s guests sleep in sumptuous suites decorated with exquisite antiques and period paintings; the only difference between then and now being the addition of the latest in contemporary technology and comfort. The villa was completely restored in 2013. There are 150 steps from street level to the property, but guests can use an elevator that goes directly to the villa’s garden gate.
