Villa Donatello is a stunning 18th century villa owned by well-known antique dealers in Tuscany.
The villa is perched high in the oldest part of Positano, with dramatic terraces overlooking much of the town and the sea. Some of the antique furnishings of the villa are quite valuable, consequently the house is not suitable for children other than infants and those over 12 years of age.
The house is conveniently located on the main one-way street of Positano, yet set back from the road for relative quiet. From the street, there are approximately 30 steps to reach the villa.

Fantastic property. The Villa was kept spotless, always clean towels. Personal service was excellent; for example, when I emailed about the shower and toilet we received instant response. Thank you for the bottles of wine.
