Villa Sebastiana B

Description from the manager

Villa Sebastiana B is a 50-square-meter (about 538 square feet) studio apartment which sleeps two people. It features a terrace and a garden with an enthralling view of Positano and part of the sea. It is equipped with air-conditioning.

There is a double bed on a mezzanine, a bathroom with shower, and a living-room with a kitchenette.

The place

Villa Sebastiana is a house which is part of the an age-old area of Positano, and it is located on a prominent and panoramic place. The entrance is a few feet away from the state road, and you can conveniently reach it on foot with no need to climb any steps. The house dates back to t...he Eighteenth-century. It consisted originally of two rooms one above the other with very high vaulted ceilings. Now the house has been restored so as to embrace two gracious mini vacation apartments: Villa Sebastiana A and Villa Sebastiana B.

You will find the location of Villa Sebastiana very convenient. Right next to the door there is a food shop, and just a few steps away there are other shops and restaurants. You will be 30 meters (about 98 feet) away from the bus stop of the local shuttle which connects the center of Positano and the beach; a bus stop you can reach without having to climb any steps of stairways.

The house overlooks the pedestrian area of the town.

You can easily reach on foot even the elegant shopping streets and the beach. All you will have to do is descend along an old footpath which unravels past the house.

Along this footpath you will encounter several steps; however, it is a walk not to be missed if your legs allow you to so, of course! Besides the often busy tourist areas of the place, you will unveil enthralling angles within the town of Positano along this pathway. And then, once you have reached the lower part of the town, you can always take the bus back up!

The house

Villa Sebastiana B has gracious interiors. It consists of a single room divided in two floors communicating through an indoor staircase. On the upper floor you will find the sleeping area, where the double bed is placed. A staircase will lead you to the lower floor, where you will have the living-room with the kitchenette and the bathroom with shower.

The living-room features a window and a patio door with a wide view of Positano. The kitchenette is a beautiful masonry kitchen equipped with a four-burner stove, a fridge, an oven, and dishwasher. In the bathroom you will also have the washing machine. Furnishings are elegant and complete.

The terrace and the garden

The terrace consists of a part of the garden which is paved and enclosed by a wooden balustrade. You can reach it from the living-room by climbing down four or five steps of a stone stairway. On the terrace you will find sun loungers, umbrellas, a table and chairs. It is a nice place to relax outdoors while enjoying a pleasant view of a large area of Positano.

Below the terrace lies a gracious garden, which you can reach by climbing down two or three steps. From the garden, if you lean against the wooden balustrade which encloses it as a terrace, you will have a great view of the sea as well.

The beach

From Villa Sebastiana B, you will be able to reach the shopping streets of Positano and the famous ‘ Spiaggia Grande ’ (Great Beach) by taking the local shuttle or on foot. During spring/summer, if you want, you can rent umbrellas and deck chairs at the beach.

Nearby tourist attractions

While staying at Villa Sebastiana B you will be in a central position from which to visit Sorrento and its coast as well as the Amalfi Coast .

From the quay of Positano you will be able to board ferries and mini-cruises by day and night to visit the coast, the islands of Capri and Ischia , Amalfi, Sorrento, Naples , Paestum , and the coast of the National Park of Cilento .

  Beautiful, relaxing, and just what we came for

  This is a fantastic find! We were so happy for the five days we spent in Positano. Thrilled with the apartment (clean, well stocked, really cute, big and beautiful patio with view of the town and the sea if you go down to garden). Right next door is a little grocery, which made things super easy to cook at home and hang out on the patio while it was sunny. This was our favourite place in Italy. I don't recommend Positano if you can't handle stairs (but there is bus service) but it's not as bad as some of the reviews said and every place you stay in Positano will be the same anyway. Totally recommend this place - we're already thinking of returning! The other Villa by same owner is right on top of this one, so if you are looking to get two apartments, these would be perfect for a group stay. I was a little nervous about renting privately, but the owner was so hospitable and we had no problems meeting up with her when we arrived. Fantastic.

  The location of Villa Sebastiana B was literally next door to a well-stocked, family-run grocery store, ready access to walks in the area, down to the beach and town centre and the view from the outdoor terrace was spectacular.

  Friendly People, Beautiful View

  Miss Margherita is a gracious host and, in case you're worried about your
  Italian, she lived in New York in her youth so speaks excellent English. You
  couldn't ask for a more convenient place to stay. There is an alimentari
  (grocery store) next door and the Cinques who run it are friendly and
  helpful. The city buses and the Sita buses stop right across the street, but
  the B suite is below the street level so you don't hear much traffic. There is
  a steep staircase down into town if you're in shape, but you can take the
  bus or rent a scooter if you're not. The view is not the standard Positano
  cityscape, but looks across the valley. The sun sets directly across from the
  kitchen window. The yard is small, but comfortable. Great for relaxing after
  hiking around Positano all day. There is a little yappy dog next door, but
  he's usually well behaved. The villa itself is lovely, the bed is comfortable,
  the shower is high tech. There is a stove, but I wish there was a microwave
  (the the A unit has no stove but has a microwave). You share a door to the
  street with the A unit so you'll probably meed the neighbors. Their unit has
  a balcony rather than a yard.
  
  Positano is exactly as beautiful as it looks in pictures. When I was there
  most of the tourists seemed to be from other parts of Italy. Pompeii and
  Capri are easy day drips from Positano and not to be missed. There is an
  old paper-making mill in Amalfi (a couple of towns down the coast) that's
  been turned into a museum,,,the Museo della Carta is worth looking up.
  Italian people are the friendliest people I've encountered in my travels. All
  of the waiters in the restaurants I tried spoke English. I ordered in Italian
  and they repeated it back in English to be sure we understood each other.
  
  Italy was having a heat wave when I was there in May. Bring shorts,
  sandals, and light clothing for this time of year.
  
  I want to say special thanks to Andrea at Summer in Italy for helping with
  customs.

  Beautiful

  Left on 06/26/2009 for a stay in August 2007
  
  

  Our stay at the Villa Sebastiana B in Positano was beautiful and relaxing. Easy to find and a short walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Especially ideal, was the little store located right next door to the villa which carried many basic items. The villa was clean and roomy with a beautiful patio outside with a decent view. We found the kitchen had a great selection of dishes and pots and pans if you wanted to cook a meal for yourself...the one item we could not find was a corkscrew. We would definitely stay there again.
