Villa Isola Le Sirene

POSITANO

 At a glance

The Villa faces the sea from a high position just as did the sirens, who scanned the deep blue of the Mediterranean as far as the horizon to safeguard sailors.

Villa Isola delle Sirene stands in one of the most beautiful and fashionable areas of Positano, the little town of the Amalfi Coast universally known for its uniqueness and beauty. It is a typical Positano building where the influence of Byzantine architecture has been perfectly blended into the villas under the skillful hands of local masters. Arches, vaults and niches interlace on the pastel sky-blue majolica tiles. The view is breathtaking: spacious balconies and verandas face the multi-coloured sea; the Sirens' Island in front; Positano to the right.

The Villa is on two floors, surrounded by gardens and terraces with a pool set in a panoramic position. The living-room is very luminous with a panoramic veranda-terrace furnished with comfortable sofas, a large dinner-table, a wide flat screen satellite television with the best audio and dvd equipment. The internet connection is wireless allowing our guests to easily connect wherever they are in the residence or in the gardens. The kitchen adjacent to the sitting-room is of professional quality and extremely well equipped. At extra cost, you can request the services of a cook for a delicious meal in the villa for an entire day or only for special occasions.

The accommodation comprises five bedrooms in the main villa (either double or twin), all furnished in a Mediterranean style and all different, offering sea-views from a small balcony. Each bedroom is provided with a bathroom (either a spacious tub or a whirlpool bath), a safe, autonomous air-conditioning and mosquito-net.A sixth bedroom is located in the garden above the pool and is comprised of a small living room with sofa, bar fridge, TV and a large panoramic window; a matrimonial size bed and ensuite bathroom with shower; air-conditioning.

We decided not to put a television in the bedrooms in the villa, but to provide all our visitors with an I-pod dock instead, as the view is too beautiful to be distracted by other images. We believe it far better to be transported by the sound of sea-waves and your favourite music.
