Punta del Sole (apartment)

Home description

On the coastal road at three kilometres from Positano, on the cliffs descending to the Mediterranean sea is Punta del Sole. This lovely independent apartment is immersed in a lush vegetation of native bushes, olive trees and lemon groves and is blessed by sea breeze and sunlight. The house has been recently renovated and refurnished to respond to high standards of accommodation. Its location is absolutely enchanting, in fact it offers a full panorama of the Gulf of Salerno with the Islands of I Galli. The landlady, who lives in the apartment below, has its own orchard and is always available for assistance.

The Campania region

Once accessible only by sea, the Amalfi coast has been for centuries a preferred summer retreat for nobles and rich traders from the nearby cities. Drawn by the beautiful visual impact of towns like Positano climbing the coastal hills against the backdrop of high mountains with craggy peaks, the area has become, a refined tourist destination with great restaurants, accommodation, shops and a strong feeling of the local culture.

Positano area

A favourite destination of the likes of Picasso, Klee, Rossellini, Toscanini, Bernstein and Steinbeck, Positano remains a popular destination of artists and culture lovers today.
The main coastal road passes further up than the town and a oneway loop road leads down to the upper part of the village. From there on it is all by foot down through winding alleyways lined by boutiques, cafes and street markets to the centre of town, where there is the brightly coloured 'maiolica' dome of Santa Maria Assunta, the main church of Positano.
A few more steps lead down to the more lively Positano beach area where there are many pizzerias, bars, pastry shops and restaurants leading onto the main beach area. A little to the left is the Marina of Positano.

How to get there

Positano and the Amalfi Coast are easily reached from Naples International Airport (with daily flights from UK) in a short drive. From May through October, direct flights from New York are also available.
From those who prefer not to drive, buses from Naples airport will bring you in the centre of Sorrento, from where you can take buses or hire a taxi. Private transfers are by far the most convenient way to reach your Positano holiday rental. Enquire with us for the best deals.

Guestbook

Villa Punta del Sole was wonderful! My breath was taken away when I opened the doors on to the Balcony and saw the fantastic views of the Mediterranean. The owner, Maria lived downstairs and was lovely, her two sons spoke very good English and were very friendly and helpful. The villa had a pool which was not in the brochure as it had been built over the winter, we really enjoyed using it during the hot parts of the day, or when we came back from one of our outings. Great time, wonderful views. On the negative side we had some small problems finding the villa as the instructions were not too clear, but after a couple of phone calls we met the agent.

Great holiday, dont make too much of all the steps, the only time we needed to rest was when we had to carry the heavy cases back to the car!
