Villa Dorata overlooks the scenic village of Positano and offers spectacular, panoramic views of the sea. This private palazzo is luxuriously decorated in high-Baroque style from the elegant jewel tone hues to the ornate chandeliers, lavish tasseled draperies, exquisite frescoed ceilings, vaulted alcoves, and plush-cushioned furniture. Step onto the picturesque terraces and you will be surrounded by lush greenery and fragrant citrus groves—a garden of delights.

The formal living room, adorned with gilt-framed artwork, opens through double doors to a verdant front terrace. Read by the firelight in the nearby study/sitting room, then adjourn to the dining room, which leads to a grand, professional kitchen highlighted by a full stone fireplace and two pizza ovens. Downstairs, revel in a full-service private spa offering a Turkish steam bath, hot-and-cold water showers, sauna, Jacuzzi with oxygen-therapy, massage room, and exceptional tiled pool with waterfall and resistance-swimming option. Step onto the private terrace to enjoy the views and an antique-tiled fountain with massage stones. On the first floor, two master bedrooms with sitting rooms and en suite bathrooms both open onto a spectacular sea-view terrace. On the second floor, two junior queen suites overlook the Mediterranean (and either Positano or the gardens), both offering private access to gardens with lemon and orange trees.



Villa Dorata offers five-star services for guests, including a full-time staff of butler, cook, and gardener. Modern amenities include plasma TV, surround-sound music system, and a private wine cellar. Within walking distance, Positano and its beaches and restaurants are about 15 minutes away.

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.
