About this property

Positano Villa Santa Caterina

In the very heart of Positano, in the picturesque neighborhood of Santa Caterina—where the small church quietly overlooks the deep blue sea—lies Villa Santa Caterina, a jewel suspended between the sky, the sea, and history.

This elegant residence, owned by a Positano family for generations, is a corner of paradise where you can breathe in the true essence of the Amalfi Coast. The villa is enveloped in the region’s signature colors: the deep blue of the sea in the gleaming floors, the green of the foliage that adorns one of the bedrooms, and the warm, embracing yellow that illuminates the other.

A short flight of stairs leads to the villa; the entrance opens onto spacious, light-filled rooms. The dining room welcomes guests with understated elegance, featuring an oval table perfect for lunches or dinners with friends, a comfortable sofa, a desk, and stunning crystal chandeliers that cast a refined glow throughout the space.

The kitchen, traditional in style and fully equipped with SMEG appliances, also features a cozy breakfast nook, ideal for a leisurely breakfast or a quick meal. On the same level are two double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom: one decorated in shades of green—fresh and relaxing—and the other in yellow—warm and inviting.

All these rooms open onto an enchanting terrace, framed by blooming bougainvillea. Here, the undisputed star is a hand-painted table—a unique and colorful piece that embodies the family’s artisanal spirit: a subtle nod to a tradition of local excellence in the creation of artistic ceramics.

The terrace is a dreamlike space: you can dine al fresco, relax in the sun, or sip a cocktail at sunset while admiring the Saracen Tower of Fornillo in the distance, the ancient guardian of the coast.

Here, a swimming pool
, a hydromassage
, and a Jacuzzi for four people
offer moments of pure wellness with a sea view, transforming every
stay into an unforgettable experience.

An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where there is a single room with a private bathroom: intimate, quiet, and perfect for those seeking a personal and peaceful space.

Villa Santa Caterina is surrounded by everything that makes Positano special: small restaurants, charming bars, and artisan shops. And in just a few minutes’ walk, you can reach the town’s two most beloved beaches: the secluded Fornillo Beach and the lively Spiaggia Grande.

This villa is not just a vacation home, but an invitation to experience a Mediterranean fairy tale: a place of authentic beauty, sincere hospitality, and details that speak of passion and history. At Villa Santa Caterina, la dolce vita isn’t just an idea—it’s a way of life.

Exactly how the pictures look. Luigi was a phenomenal host. So gracious and easy to work with. He met us for check in and check out and even helped us with our bags. It was so nice to have a parking space. And the location was amazing. Not too far up the hill, but high enough to be very central. Definitely recommend and would stay here again. Thank you Luigi!

Great place. The host was amazing and very responsive. Had someone come to our unit and help with the bags up the stairs. Fully stocked fridge was a surprise. Great AC. Good location, 10 mins from everything. My only suggestion would be a dryer for the washing machine. Air drying our used towels was not idea. Overall a nice stay!

Positano is amazing for its beauty and hilly terrain. But, it is loaded w people and vehicles of all kinds and there are only 2 roads to drive on. In addition , the hilly walks are profound. I have drive; in that area before but have stopped and we got experienced drivers to take us.Our villa was wonderful and very roomy and the hosts were fantastic.

Santa Caterina villa is stunning, and everything was that we needed was provided and more (including food and drinks in the pantry and fridge). The hosts are a Positano family and local business owners who are very responsive (10-15 minutes away, helping with luggage), and give the property an amazing story of generations of ownership. The location is halfway up, giving great access up and down to the best places. I cannot recommend this property enough for a high-end Positano experience.

The property was located at a very good location. You could walk a few steps up to the street, and shops, or you could walk down the steps to the beach. The steps to the beach are a little long but are a straight shot to the beach. The host was very good with suggestions of where to eat and what to do. They were also very good at communicating any questions or concerns we had. Would highly recommend them as a host.
