Perched high above the spectacular Amalfitana coastline Palazzo Vescovi has a birds-eye view of the Li Galli Islands, Positano and the emerald sea. The palazzo has undergone a complete restoration creating the premier vacation property in this area. It has been carefully decorated with exceptional Italian antiques and objects sourced from the owners private collection and prosperous antique business. 21st-century amenities include WiFi and digital sound system throughout the palazzo. Please be advised that due to the spectacular position of the Palazzo, there are 180 gradual steps from the street to the property.

The extraordinary vistas from the palazzo are unparalleled, encompassing a sweeping view of Positano, the vast Tyrrhenian sea and Lattori mountains, the backbone of the Sorrentine-Amalfi peninsula.

The Palazzo is organized on four spacious levels. Due to its position on the mountainside, initial access is from the garden level. Guests enter the grounds through a private gate. Lush gardens and ancient terra cotta pots lead to a gazebo area for shaded relaxation or dining. Here you will find an entrance to the fourth floor of the Palazzo.

Please note that the timeless allure of Positano, some say, is due to its striking position on the ragged cliffs overlooking the Tyrrhenian sea. Our clients have described their visits as "magical", "spectacular" and "filled with life-long memories" but consistently tempered with comments like "it was a stair-master experience!". Palazzo Vescovi is accessed by a series of walkways and characteristic shallow stairs. The ascent is not recommended for anyone who may have difficulty walking and negotiating this type of terrain.
