  • A working lemon grove

    Six terraces of sfusato amalfitano, still harvested. You are welcome to help, or not.

  • The whole bay

    Positano falls away below the main terrace. You can see the Li Galli islands on a clear day.

  • Cook here

    A twelve-seat outdoor table under the pergola, and a kitchen built for actually using.

An 1890s farmhouse on the Positano hillside, still surrounded by the lemon terraces it was built to work. Giulia's family has had it for four generations and the restoration was careful rather than fashionable — the floors are the original majolica, and the kitchen is new but pretends not to be.

The house steps down the slope so that every room has a door onto something. The main terrace holds a twelve-seat table under a pergola of vine, and below it the grove drops away toward the sea in six stages.

The town is a 280-step descent, which takes eight minutes down and considerably longer up. There is a bus. Most people take it once and then walk anyway.

“We cooked every night under the pergola with lemons from the garden and it was better than any restaurant on the coast. Giulia is a genuinely lovely host.”
SarahNew York · September 2026
“The view is the famous one and the house lives up to it. Air conditioning in every bedroom made August possible.”
ChristophZurich · August 2026
“Wonderful house, wonderful host. The steps down to town are no joke in the heat — budget for taxis if anyone in your group can't do 280 stairs.”
NadiaCairo · July 2026
“Came for a wedding nearby, stayed eight. The morning light through the lemon trees onto the terrace is something I still think about.”
PeterWellington · June 2026
“Old house, done properly. Nothing felt like a renovation for tourists.”
