Villa Evelina is part of a 17th century villa located in a beautiful panoramic position. Attractive modern decor, spaciousness and proximity to the lively center of Positano make this an idea location for visiting the Amalfi Coast. A large private terrace is an ideal setting for sunset cocktails or al fresco dining while admiring the splendid sea views. The spacious interiors have high vaulted ceilings, thick stone walls and antique terracotta floors, and the house is full of light. A pedestrian street with about 70 steps leads to the house from the main street of Positano.

The closest shops and restaurants are located at the bottom of the steps that lead to the villa. The closest beach is the main beach of Positano, Spiaggia Grande, just 600 meters (656 yards) from Villa Evelina; it can be reached on foot in 5-6 minutes via a charming downhill alley closed to traffic and lined with shops and boutiques. Ferries and hydrofoils to Capri (30 min), Naples (50 min), Amalfi (30 min) and Salerno (1.5 hrs) leave from a pier to the right of the main beach. The other villages of the coast are easily reached by blue buses marked SITA. The nearest SITA bus stop is 10-15 minutes walk, but can also be reached by local shuttle bus which runs every 15/30 minutes.
