Villa Georgina occupies the entire ground floor of an old 17th century villa located in a beautiful, panoramic position in the heart of Positano. This villa is especially attractive for its modern décor, space and proximity to the lively center of the famed seaside town of Positano.

 

The accommodation boasts a very large private terrace, which serves as an ideal spot for outside dining, barbecues, or sunset cocktails. At Villa Georgina guests will fully enjoy the pleasure of a stay into a charming and authentic ancient house of Positano, located in one of the most beautiful parts of the town. The spacious interiors have high vaulted ceilings and thick stone walls, which is characteristic of the ancient buildings of the Amalfi Coast. The interiors have been recently refurbished and tastefully furnished throughout and feature shiny majolica tiled floors and an elegant mixture of antique and modern furniture.

 

Accommodation: 130 sq mt indoor and 200 s q mt of outdoor area consisting of terraces and gardens with open panoramic views of the sea and the village.

 

The large terrace is situated at the front of the villa and has sitting and dining areas, shaded by an  awning and a white sun umbrella. There are many pots of colourful geraniums and flowering shrubs, a red climbing bougainvillea, citrus and ornamental trees. The terrace is equipped  with a dining table which can comfortably seat eight  guests,  an outdoor shower, a barbecue, a two seater  settee,  two armchairs and  comfortable lounging chairs. It also offers beautiful unspoiled views of the pastel-coloured villas and palaces of the village, piled up in a pyramid above  the Mediterranean sea.

 

Entrance to the villa is through a pair of French doors, opening from the terrace, directly  into an open plan living room divided into a kitchen, dining and sitting area. The living area is modern, very comfortably furnished to a high standard, and equipped with  2 leather sofas, a dining table seating up to eight guests,  a flat screen TV  with CD and DVD player.
