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. One enters into an elegant, modern kitchen that is fully equipped, including a dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious open-plan room with vaulted ceilings that includes a living area with a fireplace and a separate dining area. The room is furnished and decorated with an understated elegance, accented by select pieces of sculpture and other artwork.

Two sets of French windows open onto a beautiful furnished terrace facing the sea and an adjoining pool area, with comfortable lounge chairs. This picturesque outdoor area has a vine-covered stone wall, an array of potted plants, and a regal statue keeping watch from one end of the pool.

Villa Amore's ground floor also includes a twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom with tub, a library furnished with a double bed to accommodate two persons, a bathroom with tub, an additional half bathroom with access to the pool area, and a utility room equipped with a washing machine.

On the second floor one finds two queen bedrooms-one with a fireplace — both opening out onto a spectacular upper covered terrace. There are two additional bathrooms on this level, one with a tub and shower and the other with a tub. The upstairs bedrooms are air-conditioned and provided with TV and telephone.

A staircase of 190 steps leads down from the villa to the sea.
