Carmana

Immerse yourself in local colors and scents, explore the Amalfi Coast by boat and swim in its crystal-clear waters, discover typical cuisine and wines, or just linger poolside at your villa restoring your body and mind. Whatever you decide to do, Carmana is the perfect cozy hideaway and its comforts are waiting for you. Set on a panoramic point, perched above the town of Positano with the glitzy Capri in the distance, the three-story Carmana offers superb views of the coastline. This villa is 20 minute drive from the center of town with its shops, restaurants, and the beach, one of the liveliest and most cosmopolitan of all those on the Amalfi Coast. The hydrofoil dock is also located in Positano, a very smart way to visit all the coastline villages and to go to Capri.

A winding scenic drive along the coastal road, known for its hairpin bends and spectacular views, takes visitors to Positano, Praiano, Amalfi and the spellbinding uphill town of Ravello, with its incomparable belvedere. Any of these popular resort towns along the coast are good bases for exploring the surrounding areas. Buses and ferries run frequently and are the most convenient way to reach other towns while avoiding what could be a challenging drive in the bustling summer traffic. Other excursion possibilities include a boat trip to the islands of Capri and Ischia, a visit to the vibrant cities of Napoli, Salerno, or the gracious Sorrento, or an exploration of Pompeii and Herculaneum - the fascinating ruins of ancient cities destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 1st century A.D.

The Amalfi Coast offers an abundance of cafes, shops, art galleries and restaurants on its vertical terrain. Most beaches are small pebble inlets of land thus the best way to enjoy the sand and the turquoise water is to tour the area by boat (ask our concierge about it!) and let an expert local captain take you to his favorite spots or suggest the best seaside restaurants. A memorable experience!
