LOCATION

Positano has been called the pearl of the Amalfi Coast for its many special characteristics that raise it above all of the other towns on the coast, and we could call Villa Affresco a pearl among the residential properties along this stretch of coast.  Its position allows you to enjoy a unique view of the town of Positano and of the gulf.  From its large terraces you dominate, as if on the captain’s bridge of a ship, the typical whitewashed houses that slope down, one on top of the other, right down to the sea.The property is located in a pedestrian area, about 500 meters from Positano, where you will find restaurants and shops. The nearest beach is about 1 km (0.6 miles). You can reach the villa from the street level by going up a 200-meter (660-foot) public walkway that includes about 100 steps.
