This beautifully maintained historic estate, perfect for groups of friends or family, resides in the heart of Positano.
There are so few properties in Positano suitable for larger groups - Villa Fornillo can be a perfect solution! The estate consists of four independent properties: Villa Donatello, Casa Lorenzo, Casa Stefania and Il Rifugio. When combining these four vacation homes, a group as large as 18 guests can enjoy spacious public and private areas. Villa Fornillo is tastefully decorated with antiques that reflect the beauty of this seaside town.

[+] testimonialsJames,
I just arrived back in NY from Rome and wanted to send you an email of thanks for the lovely birthday cake you and Lori arranged. I was very touched, thank you.
I also wanted to tell you that my friends and I had a wonderful week in the villas. I am sure you have heard this over and over and over again, but it was heaven on earth. Roseanna and Teresa and the rest of the staff are wonderful they made us two beautiful, memorable dinners believe me when I say I was traveling with a very discerning crowd (they are my friends and I know them very well!) and without exception, each and every person fell in love with the ladies and their delicious food. I will be back.
Thanks again, James.
Jeff S. (the now 50 year old what a birthday!)
