Villa Gemma
Traditional Italy
Reference:
"Perched on a cliffside close to enchanting Positano this seafront villa affords dramatic sea views and boasts easy access to the pebble beach below via the nearby lift.
Three generous terraces overlook Positano and the
Mediterranean Sea, and the villa itself enjoys a splendid setting in the midst
of hibiscus, agave plants and maritime pine trees. There is a fabulous
Michelin-star restaurant within 5 minutes' walk and a beach club and restaurant
on the beach which guests can use. Internally the accommodation has been
designed so that every room opens onto one of the interconnected and spacious
terraces, allowing all the guests to enjoy the beautiful views and making for a
very relaxing holiday. The pool is located just above and behind the villa,
only a few steps up from the top floor terrace, and has been thoughtfully
positioned to give the impression that you are swimming in the sea a few
hundred metres below. This sense of suspension between sea and sky is one of
the factors that makes this villa a truly memorable place. A few steps up
from the pool is a further private sun terrace which offers a 360-degree view
of the coast and sea.
You will find plenty of restaurants, shops and
bars in buzzing Positano close by, but don’t miss out on a visit to Amalfi or
to Ravello, both of which are also very special places. The whole coastline
stretching from the Gulf of Naples to the Gulf of Salerno is a spectacular
scenic area and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Dotted with countless rocky
coves, dramatic cliffs and picturesque whitewashed villages set against the
cobalt-blue Tyrrhenian Sea, is really does need to be experienced to be
believed. One of the best ways to enjoy the beauty of this natural landscape is
from the sea itself. Boat trips are available to the islands of Capri or
Ischia, as well as to other places on the coast. You can even charter your own
boat for the day and discover your very own little cove! There are plenty of
places to visit for the day, such as Pompei or Herculaneum, or Mount Vesuvius
where you can climb up to the crater and admire the views over the Bay of
Naples. Both by day and by night the Amalfi coast understandably does leave a
long lasting impression on all its visitors, as well as a strong desire to
return.
