About this property
Set on a fragrant cliffside on the edge of Positano, Casa Giardini offers a rare combination of timeless charm and iconic Amalfi Coast views. Framed by citrus trees, olive groves and vivid Mediterranean blooms, this one-bedroom retreat sits within a historic gated estate, home to four other residences, where mornings begin with the scent of sea air and fresh bread delivered to your door.
On the edge of the estate, Casa Giardini is on the first-floor of a traditional Italian residence overlooking Positano’s main beach. The interiors are both intimate and inviting. A king-size bedroom and en-suite bathroom offer comfort and seclusion, while an open kitchen and small living room create a sense of easy, laid-back living. Step onto your private garden terrace and the view stretches across the glimmering Tyrrhenian Sea, with the Galli islands shimmering on the horizon.
Throughout the day, soak up the sunshine beside the estate’s shared swimming pool, nestled where an ancient fountain once stood. Wander through flowering gardens and down the old stone steps to a little beach below - in the height of the summer, a beach bar is set up for leisurely afternoons. Should you wish, light lunches, wine tastings, cookery classes and chef-cooked dinners can be arranged, adding an extra layer of indulgence to your stay.
Perched on the edge of the village, the gated estate’s setting feels both central and secluded. Within minutes you can walk to the bustling heart of town, where pastel buildings spill down the hillside and boutique shops line narrow, winding streets. The main beach, lively cafés and stylish restaurants are all within easy reach, while those with a taste for adventure can follow the famed Sentiero degli Dei through breathtaking coastal scenery.
Perfect for couples, this elegant bolthole blends the intimacy of a private dwelling with the charm and beauty of one of Italy’s most celebrated coastlines. At Casa Giardini, every moment invites you to pause, linger and fall under Positano’s irresistible spell.
Perched on a cliffside on the edge of Positano, overlooking the village’s main beach below, Casa Giardini is a gateway to the very soul of the Amalfi Coast. Set within a beautiful gated estate with four other residences across the vast grounds (with steep pathways and many steps), this cliffside haven offers all guests its own access to a little bay, an unspoilt cove of clear water reached by a series of rugged steps, home to a little beach bar in the height of the summer. From the moment you descend from the coastal road above, you’re wrapped in the irresistible charm of this Amalfi coast gem.
Wander out from the gated estate and within a short walk you can lose yourself in Positano’s romantic maze of lanes. Soft-hued buildings cascade down the cliffs, draped in bougainvillea and kissed by the sun. Artisan boutiques line the walk to Spiaggia di Positano, just 750 metres away, where colourful parasols dot the beach and elegant beach clubs set the tone for leisurely days in the height of the summer. A little further along the coast, Fornillo Beach offers a slightly quieter escape framed by lapping waves and fragrant pines.
Beyond the village, the coastline beckons. Hop on a boat from Positano’s harbour to explore hidden coves and dazzling grottos or set sail to Capri for a day of jet-set glamour. For those drawn to nature’s grandeur, the legendary Sentiero degli Dei trail rewards hikers with soaring vistas and unforgettable coastal panoramas.
Meanwhile, the Amalfi Coast is yours to uncover. Spend a day in the laid-back village of Praiano, admire the grandeur of Amalfi’s cathedral or ascend to the musical heights of Ravello, where gardens bloom high above the sea. Each destination unveils a new layer of southern Italy’s cultural richness and timeless allure.
For a change of pace, Sorrento awaits just across the peninsula. With its lemon-scented streets, cliff-top views and graceful old-world charm, it’s the perfect finale to an Italian coastal adventure.
