200 meters from the main road, via roman steps and a downhill path, Cleta II is tucked away amidst the beauty of the Positano coast. It lies on one floor and is part of a larger gated estate and boasts stunning sea views from its terrace. It has been recently renovated with care and tastefully decorated with traditional furniture blended with contemporary fabrics. Its peaceful position is just a few minutes walk from shops, bars, internationally-known boutiques and restaurants of the vibrant town of Positano. The vicinity to public transportation makes Cleta II the ideal accommodation for visitors not wishing to have a car while vacationing on the Amalfi Coast.

From the terrace there is a private staircase with 200 steps to the shared outdoor swimming pool (shared with properties of the same estate) overlooking the bay and to a semi-private pebbled beach, a rare asset in Positano.
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Perfect for a small family or two couples, Cleta II has plenty of space for enjoying the day reading books under the pergola, sunbathing around the communal pool or in your semi-private beach (via approx. 200 steps), away from the crowd, or just watching the unforgettable views from your terrace.

Driving time estimated by Google Maps
A winding scenic drive along the coastal road, known for its hairpin bends and spectacular views, takes visitors to Positano, Praiano, Amalfi and the spellbinding uphill town of Ravello, with its incomparable belvedere. Any of these popular resort towns along the coast are good bases for exploring the surrounding areas. Buses and ferries run frequently and are the most convenient way to reach other towns while avoiding what could be a challenging drive in the bustling summer traffic. Other excursion possibilities include a boat trip to the islands of Capri and Ischia, a visit to the vibrant cities of Napoli, Salerno, or the gracious Sorrento, or an exploration of Pompeii and Herculaneum – the fascinating ruins of ancient cities destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 1st century A.D.
The Amalfi Coast offers an abundance of cafes, shops, art galleries and restaurants on its vertical terrain. Most beaches are small pebble inlets of land thus the best way to enjoy the sand and the turquoise water is to tour the area by boat (ask our concierge about it!) and let an expert local captain take you to his favorite spots or suggest the best seaside restaurants. A memorable experience!

Campania
Campania borders with Lazio and is on the shin of the boot leg. Chaotic Naples is the capital city which is the birth place of Pizza. Campania is famous for the best pizza in the world so it is a must see simply to indulge in a margarita pizza.
With their lazy siestas, blue waters and warm sun, one feels like they could be a million miles from business like Milan.
The Main towns in Campania are Naples, Amalfi, Agropoli, Avellino, Benevento, Caserta, Gallo Matese, Maiori, Massa Lubrense, Positano, Praiano, Salerno and Sorrento.
Attractions include the Roman archaeological sites (Pompeii) and Herculaneum (Ercolaneo).
