AMORE RENTALS - Villa San Giacomo – Historic Luxury Villa with Sea View

Positano - Villa

Villa San Giacomo is one of the Amalfi Coast’s most prestigious historic residences—an extraordinary private villa of superlative luxury set above the sea in Positano’s evocative Liparlati district, from which it takes its name in honor of the local patron saint. Built in 1741 by wealthy merchants and restored through a meticulous, multi-year conservative renovation, the villa today reveals its full splendor: a rare balance of authentic 18th-century character—arched loggias, frescoed vaulted ceilings, and timeless architectural details—with the finest modern comforts and discreet, high-end service.

Generous interiors unfold across multiple levels, offering refined living and entertaining spaces designed for both privacy and conviviality. On the ground floor, the villa’s heart comes to life with an elegant dining room arranged in two adjoining vaulted chambers, a grand living area composed of richly decorated frescoed rooms, and a fully equipped professional kitchen—ideal for tailor-made culinary experiences prepared by your dedicated staff.

Four French doors open directly onto the villa’s signature arcaded loggia, shaded by a retractable pergola supported by a graceful colonnade—an elevated outdoor setting that becomes the perfect place for slow breakfasts, sunlit lunches, aperitivi at golden hour, and unforgettable dinners under the stars, all framed by Positano’s iconic skyline.

Outdoors, Villa San Giacomo offers a private oasis of terraces, manicured gardens, and breathtaking sea views that shift with the light from morning to sunset. The infinity pool, perfectly integrated into the landscape, overlooks the Mediterranean and the pastel cascade of Positano. Pool dimensions are 4.50 x 8.50 meters, with a maximum depth of 1.3 meters, and it is open from April 1 to October 31. Surrounding sun terraces invite pure relaxation, while the villa’s landscaped grounds—complete with lawn, fruit trees, and a vegetable garden—create an atmosphere of serene exclusivity.

The villa’s accommodations are equally exceptional, designed to welcome up to 27 guests across elegant sea-view suites and private attic apartments. Each suite is appointed with premium amenities including a courtesy set (shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap and body cream), hairdryer, safe, minibar, air conditioning, heating, Wi-Fi, and comfortable lounge seating, all enhanced by the quiet sophistication of the property’s historic soul.
