37 images Created 19 May 2011
Positano, situated in Campania on Italy's Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana), is a small and nearly vertical town. While prosperous many centuries ago, it now lives on as a unique tourist destination, favored by Americans and Europeans, celebrities, and day-trippers who take the ferry from Naples.A through highway, Strada Statale Amalfitana, also known as Via Guglielmo Marconi, separates the town into two parts, while a one-way loop called Viale Pasitea serves the lower part (sub Positano). Any other "via" or "viale" really is a walkway, narrow, mostly with steps. Many steps...This gallery spotlights our holiday villa, whose Italian name translates to "The Garden." The property, rumored to have once been owned by Vittorio de Sica, comprises multiple terraces. It is indeed both a garden, and an arboretum. The villa overlooks the village, the sea, and is backed by craggy cliffs.
