It's hard to paint a picture, in words, of the incomparable interior luxury, the al fresco gardens and terraces, the unparalleled, panoramic views of Villa Carla, nestled into a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the lemon-tree-spotted Lattari Mountains. The property is halfway between the historical towns of Amalfi and Ravello and within easy distance to the Sorrento and Amalfi coasts and the intriguing sites of Vesuvius and Pompeii. Your own private resort awaits, complete with every modern amenity and expansive French windows bombarding you with spectacular views, and a total of 8,200 sq. ft. of interior living space and an amazing 32,800 sq. ft. of outstanding terrace and garden facilities!

From the second you pull off the main road and enter the private driveway through a remote-controlled gate, you will be seduced by the utter beauty and elegance of the property. Ascend 19 steps to a spacious, wide-open living room with panoramic views of the sea, accented with a marble fireplace, fine works of art, intriguing collectibles, comfortable sofas and access to an incredible terrace with wrought iron/ceramic table and chairs. The modern, appliance-rich kitchen (with seating for 8) opens onto a shaded terrace positioned at a whimsical angle—perfect for al fresco dining and scenic appreciation. Relax in the family bedroom behind the living area—with one queen bed and one single bed, and en suite bathroom, highlighted by French windows opening onto multiple ocean-view terraces. Take the elevator near the kitchen or climb 20 steps to the first floor, where two queen bedrooms await (one with en suite bathroom with Jacuzzi tub and one that shares a beautiful private bathroom with a twin bedroom). All bedrooms have French windows with access to gorgeous, sea-view terraces. Keep climbing... there are actually five levels of al fresco terrace and garden space! Take the elevator or ascend a 45-step exterior staircase to a geranium-flooded terrace, and then climb 21 steps further to the dazzling terrace with sparkling swimming pool, deck chairs, barbecue, and bar. Enjoy villa-wide air conditioning (remote controlled in bedrooms), satellite TV throughout, and multiple French windows with views stretching down to the narrow valleys of the villages of Minori and Maiori and Capo d'Orso. There is a laundry room (with two washers), ironing facilities, hair dryers in all bathrooms, dial-up Internet and DVD/CD access. On-site parking for 3 cars and a quick trip to shops, restaurants and bus stop, complete the amazing list of spectacular amenities.

Villa Carla is nirvana by the sea—a one-of-a-kind escape. You are a short walk or bus ride to the villages of Atrani and Amalfi, and a short car or bus ride to Ravello, Sorrento, Salerno, and Positano. Pick up a ferry or hydrofoil in Amalfi for jaunts to Capri, Positano, Ischia, and Salerno. Ecstasy awaits...

What to do along the Amalfi Coast
In addition to lovely beaches, Positano offers an abundance of cafes, shops, art galleries and restaurants. A scenic drive along the coastal road (SS145) takes visitors to Praiano, Amalfi and the spellbinding up-hill town of Ravello, with its incomparable belvedere. Other excursion possibilities include a boat trip to the islands, a visit to vibrant Napoli or Salerno, or an exploration of Pompeii and Herculaneum—the fascinating ruins of ancient cities destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 1st century A.D.
