If your vision of Positano involves historic interiors, look no further than Villa Laura. Located above the water in the center of the town, this historic villa has three floors, each with panoramic terraces offering 180-degree views of the coastline.
The architectural details tell much of the story here. Think: Saracenic-style vaulted ceilings, hand-finished ceramic and terracotta floors, and vintage furniture that feels collected and authentic. The layout is spacious with multiple lounge spaces, a proper dining room and four bedrooms (rare on the coast), each with its own bathroom (even rarer). However, life spreads outside, with the terrace providing a front-row seat to the famous cliffs and sea.
Room: 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms
facility: Ocean view, private balcony and terrace, washer and dryer, air conditioning, TV, Wi-Fi
