Toscana - Tuscany
Tuscany is the place we all dream of….The place we want to retire to, and it is that place that will echo in your heart for a life time once you have stayed there and felt the essence of the organic life that passes by there each day.
With fields of sunflowers as far as they eye can see, olive groves and vineyards lining every street corner make Tuscany’s country side a picture worth painting. With its abundance of tiny medieval towns scattered around the hills, open air markets where locals gather each Saturday morning to offer their produce such as Truffle oil, olives, chianti wine, cured meats etc makes Tuscany the perfect place to visit for those that love food, wine and history.

[post_content] => Long before Positano became a byword for postcard beauty, its own people were leaving it behind. By the mid-1800s, hardship had emptied more than half the village, as fishermen and farmers sailed for New York in search of a future the cliffs could no longer give them — many of their descendants still return each summer to the streets their great-grandparents fled. It was only in 1953, when John Steinbeck wandered these same lanes and confessed in Harper's Bazaar that Positano “bites deep,” that the world began to look back. Even the town's name carries a myth few visitors ever hear: legend holds that Poseidon founded it in honor of Pasitea, a nymph he loved, and her name still runs through the village today as Via Pasitea, the steep main street every visitor will walk.
Along this road stands Villa Narlita, a historic residence where thoughtful design meets refined comfort in every corner, and where the original charm of both the interior and the grounds have been carefully preserved rather than replaced. Though set in one of the town's most sought-after and central positions, the estate keeps its guests entirely to themselves — an intimate refuge for those who want to experience the true spirit of Positano without ever giving up privacy.
IT065100B4WMVVISVY6 BEDROOMS/5 BATHROOMS

Master queen/twin bedroom (bed size 160 cm) with en-suite bathroom with large shower, and private terrace with sea views.

LIVING SPACES
Villa Narlita unfolds gracefully across three floors, thoughtfully arranged to welcome up to twelve guests in effortless comfort. Every room is bathed in the natural light of the Amalfi Coast, its interiors dressed in hand-finished ceramics and fine materials that reflect the timeless character of Positano.
Lower Level
Guests are welcomed into a spacious and bright and inviting living room with a clean, contemporary Mediterranean aesthetic, featuring a comfortable sofa, crisp white furnishings, colorful accents, and elegant arched architectural details. A relaxed and stylish space for gathering and unwinding.
The lower level is anchored by a bright, elegant Mediterranean-style kitchen featuring crisp white cabinetry, a central island with bar seating, and beautifully patterned ceramic tile accents. An arched opening leads to a charming dining area, creating a distinctive blend of contemporary comfort and traditional character. This room opens onto a private terrace, blurring the line between indoors and out — the perfect setting for long lunches beneath the Positano sky.
OUTSIDE FEATURES
A spectacular sea-view terrace overlooking the dramatic Amalfi Coast, with a shaded pergola, elegant outdoor seating, and a large dining table—an exceptional setting for alfresco dining while enjoying the breathtaking coastal scenery. An enchanting private lemon grove adds a touch of authentic Positano charm, while an ocean-view salt-water infinity pool (4 mt x 8,5 mt x 1,2 mt) offers an unforgettable vantage point overlooking Fornillo and the iconic Positano skyline. The pool is covered and heated from October through March. Together, these outdoor spaces create an extraordinary setting for relaxing, entertaining, and savoring the beauty of the Amalfi Coast.
AMENITIES
A/C in the bedrooms, heating, dishwasher, washer and dryer, ice-machine, satellite smart TVs with Sky cable and streaming apps, Wi-Fi, private swimming pool, safe.
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Narlita ranks among the very few villas in the area that guests can reach by car all the way to the front gate — a rare convenience in a spot where most properties are approached only on foot — with roughly 60 steps then leading down to the residence itself. The town's smart boutiques, restaurants, and beach lie just below, reached along Positano's characteristic old stepped lanes, the scalinatelle.

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!

[post_content] => The stretch of coastline between Messina and Palermo is one of Sicily's most geographically dramatic and historically layered regions. This coast has been shaped by successive civilizations — Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, and Norman — often visible within the same town. Cefalù's Norman cathedral, Tindari's Greek acropolis and later Christian sanctuary, and the Arab-Norman influence on local architecture and cuisine all reflect Sicily's position as a Mediterranean crossroads. This is the area close enough to the island's celebrated landmarks to serve as an ideal base, yet distant enough to remain unspoiled by mass tourism. In this part of the region, some villas offer a view. Calea offers a horizon. Perched above the coast at the end of a tranquil, countryside cul-de-sac, the villa commands an uninterrupted panorama over the Aeolian archipelago — on clear days, the silhouettes of Lipari, Stromboli, and Vulcano rise from the Tyrrhenian Sea, and at sunset the view is unmatched anywhere on this stretch of coast. It's a rare balance: the seclusion of a private hilltop retreat, paired with easy access to Sicily's northern coast.

LIVING SPACES
This villa is designed for the guest who sees interiors as an experience in themselves. Every room feels curated with the eye of a collector — statement furniture, playful art, and unexpected architectural details that reward a second glance. For travelers seeking something bolder than the traditional whitewashed Sicilian villa, this is a residence that makes its own statement.
Generous open-plan living space anchored by designer sofas, a suspended fireplace, and a state-of-the-art entertainment system. The room's bold, collector's-eye furnishings and curated art set a playful, design-forward tone from the moment guests step inside.
The open marble kitchen, finished in dramatic dark-veined stone, is fully equipped for both relaxed breakfasts and ambitious entertaining, with a generous island for casual gathering. Indoor dining accommodates up to 12 at the main table, or 8 at the kitchen block, making the villa equally suited to intimate family meals and formal dinners. A dedicated laundry area completes the practical comforts of daily living.
OUTSIDE FEATURES
The 2,500 m² of lush private garden is anchored by a raised, freeform pool set into a gently sloping lawn, framed by mature palms, a weeping willow, and coral-hued umbrellas — a scene that feels more resort than residence. Fully fenced and planted with indigenous Mediterranean species — olive and citrus trees, flowering shrubs, palms — the grounds offer genuine privacy alongside sea glimpses through the greenery. A vine-covered pergola shelters outdoor dining, complete with a charcoal BBQ, while furnished terraces across the property's different levels provide varied settings for lounging and taking in the view. An electric gate and on-site parking for four cars round out the practical comforts.
AMENITIES
Full A/C throughout, Wi-Fi (400mbps download/28mbps upload) - Smart TVs with Netflix in three bedrooms, fireplace, washing machine (no dryer; outdoor hanging rack available), upright piano, hair dryers, dishwasher, Nespresso and moka coffee makers, charcoal BBQ, private swimming pool (7m×15m, depth 1.40m–1.80m), two baby cots and highchairs, private parking, electronic gate.
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
For travelers seeking a private base from which to discover this coast, Villa Calea offers a rare combination of comfort and access. Calea's defining feature is its panoramic view over the Aeolian Islands — one of the finest on Sicily's northeast coast, especially at sunset. The Aeolian Islands — Stromboli, Lipari, Panarea — are reachable by ferry from Milazzo in under an hour, and guests can also arrange a private boat tour directly to the islands. Palermo and Taormina are each about ninety minutes by car, Cefalù closer still, and the harbor town of Capo d'Orlando — six kilometers down the hill — offers excellent restaurants and an unhurried, authentic pace of Sicilian life
Nearest Airport: Palermo Puntaraisi 2h – Catania Fontanarossa 2h.20 m

The island of Sicily offers a number of wonderful places to visit on daytrips or excursions. In the northern area, you might want to include cities such as Palermo, Monreale, Cefalù, Castelbuono, Erice, Segesta, Marsala, and Trapani to your must-see. The eastern coast of the island is also worth exploring, starting from the famous cities of Taormina, Catania, Syracuse, Noto, and Ragusa and the utterly unforgettable volcanic peak of Mt. Etna. The extraordinary city of Palermo is the capital of Sicily, so beautiful that Maupassant described it as “the most beautiful religious jewelry dreamed by human thought”. Visit the richly decorated churches, the imposing monuments and lose yourself in the little streets of the historical center. Explore the archeological site of Segesta, once one of the most important fortified cities on the north Sicilian basin. Do not pass on Erice, the ancient medieval village rich in history and charm. If you venture up to Marsala, drive along the Salt Route and enjoy the burning sunset reflected on the lagoon of the salt mines. You will never forget it! And take note that Marsala, known as the “city of wine”, has been producing a sweet dessert wine of the same name for more than 200 years. Do not leave the island without at least a bottle of this liquid gold!

The second biggest island in the Mediterranean (the first one is Sicily), Sardinia is a paradise for beach lovers! Whether you want to enjoy the life of the glitterati in the famous resorts of Costa Smeralda, or explore the more authentic southern coast, you will marvel at the beautiful beaches of the island, the combination of white sand and emerald water particularly appreciated by surfers. As beautiful as the coastline can be, some of the most memorable sights are found underwater so snorkeling and scuba diving are a must do! For golf lovers, three beautiful 18-hole golf courses are located on the island, the Pevero Golf Club on the north coast, Is Arenas Golf Club on the west coast, and Is Molas Golf Club on the south coast. Thanks to the proximity of the sea the golf courses enjoy unique water views and a mild climate, particularly favorable for golf all year round.
Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia and the island's largest city. In Cagliari, visit the Castle, the Archeological Museum, the Marina district near the port, with its arcaded street with cafes and shops, the town hall, and several churches. Do not miss Cagliari botanic gardens and the Roman amphitheater, built in the second century, where outdoor concerts are held during the summer.
In the southern area, we suggest a visit to Baia Chia beaches, with a forest of Juniper trees and sand dunes as a backdrop. You should also explore Capo Malfatano, Cala Cipolla, Tuarredda and the beautiful beach of Cala Zafferano. This area offers a wide range of activities including sightseeing of the ancient Phoenician, Punic, and Roman remains at Nora, including those of an ancient Roman outdoor theater where performances are still held in summer. Animal lovers should check the natural marine shelter and sea turtle rescue center at Nora Lagoon.

WHERE TO SHOP
Sardinia is a hub for handicrafts, making it a souvenir shopper’s paradise. Look for wooden carnival masks, handmade lace, filigree jewelry, cork, and world famous handmade knives. Do not forget to try the smoked ricotta, the Pecorino Cheese (sheep’s milk cheese), our favorite is Fiore Sardo, or notable wines and the head-splitting firewater, filu e ferru, the local semolina pasta called "fregole", a close relative to couscous. To make sure you are buying local, look for signs advertising “Prodotti Tipici Sardi”, or the island-sponsored I.S.O.L.A. co-op stores.
