Villa Amore is an exquisite two-story residence of white stucco, set on a cliff side overlooking beautiful Positano and beyond to the Gulf of Salerno. The location is sublime. Positano itself is home to an array of delightful shops, cafés and restaurants—and yet retains a small town atmosphere beloved by tourists. It can be accessed on foot along the beautiful but narrow and winding Amalfi Drive; alternatively, one can take the bus that stops on the road just above Villa Amore.

Day trips can be made by boat to the isles of Capri and Ischia or to Praiano, Amalfi, and Naples, with its famous archaeological museum. Ravello, at a higher altitude a bit removed from the coast, is enchanting, with two lovely aristocratic villas that are open to visitors and a handsome 11th century Duomo. Among the Sorrento Peninsula's many attractions are the fascinating archaeological sites at Pompeii, Herculeum and Paestum. Visits to these destinations can be made by calling the car and driver service in town. A car is not necessary but may be desired, especially off season when parking is easier to find and there is less traffic. Free parking must be found along the street, where you will find a slight widening in the road as well as the bus stop.

Villa Amore is located just outside of Positano in the direction of Amalfi. A staircase of approximately 70 steps leads from the street down to the villa.
