Villa in Positano with 5 bedrooms sleeps 10

Villa Carminia — Amalfi suspended between sky and sea
There is a precise moment, just beyond the last bend that climbs towards Nocelle, when the coast opens up like a curtain and Positano seems to float. It is there that Villa Carminia reveals itself: three levels of light and white, stone and wood, a view that stretches as far as Capri and a rarefied intimacy that smells of Mediterranean scrub. A contemporary retreat for those who desire the privilege of being high up — the view, the silence, the privacy — without giving up the rhythm of the most cosmopolitan village on the coast. The villa dominates a panoramic spot above Positano; the centre, with its boutiques, restaurants and beaches, is about a twenty-minute drive away, and from there the hydrofoil is the most elegant way to hop from bay to bay or head for Capri.
Upon arrival, the main terrace is the first statement of intent: a sun deck for al fresco dining and aperitifs at blue hour, a small heated infinity pool — 3x4 m — that seems to pour into the Tyrrhenian Sea and invites slow rituals: a dip in the morning, a warm swim at sunset, a barefoot stroll between chaise longues and parasols. This is the heart of Carminia's “outdoor living”, where the boundary between inside and outside blurs, and the house becomes a boat, a belvedere, a suspended loggia.
Inside, the living area puts everyone at ease: a table for ten, an L-shaped sofa in front of a smart TV, a fully equipped kitchen ready for an impromptu chef's table or comfort food to console you after a day at the beach. The interiors are not ostentatious: they favour clean lines, authentic materials and functionality. The elegance is understated, allowing the view to speak for itself, with windows and balconies framing the water and the rooftops of Positano.
The five suites are a sequential story, each with its own balcony or terrace, all with en suite bathrooms: four queen and one double, five-star hotel comfort, air conditioning, TV and, in some, a hot tub for those who like to end the day with a private ritual. In the morning, the first rays of sunlight gently enter the room; in the evening, the moon is reflected in the windows. It is luxury that makes no noise: sleeping well, waking up with the sea as your natural alarm clock, having your own space even when travelling with family or friends.
Carminia does not pretend: the coast is vertical, poetry requires steps, slopes and small movements. This is why the villa is ideal for those who are really looking for peace and quiet and a view, not for those who have difficulty walking. The nearest car park is about 300 metres away, in a paid facility; there is a shuttle bus that connects to the centre of Positano — a useful feature when the road gets busy — and, if needed, our driver will wait for you at the hydrofoil pier. Here, movement is an organised ballet, not an unexpected event.
The services included have a detail that makes all the difference: daily housekeeping (4 hours), daily change of sheets and towels, unlimited Wi-Fi inside and outside, air conditioning and final cleaning. The outdoor pool can be heated — as you like in low season — and the garden is regularly maintained; the porter welcomes you on arrival and bids you farewell on departure. These are the little touches that transform a beautiful house into a perfect hospitality machine.
Then there is Camisa Essential, our bespoke soul. This is where a stay becomes history.
Cuisine & dining. The chef in the villa creates menus that speak the local dialect: raw fish, piennolo tomatoes, pasta alla nerano, lemon in three textures, a dolce caprese that reconciles you with the world. If you like to get your hands dirty, the cooking class in the kitchen is a simple and joyful ritual: lemon-scented ravioli, lemon delights, spumoni as in Naples. At sunset, Campania wine pairing — Fiano, Greco di Tufo, Aglianico — and, for those who love it, a limoncello lab on the terrace.
Sea & islands. A day on a fishing boat or yacht between Li Galli, Nerano and Capri, with a private skipper, feet-in-the-sand lunches and swims in coves invisible from land. Comfortable departure, flexible timing, soft cabins for the little ones.
Land & steps. From the front door, you can reach the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods): hiking guide, light backpacks, the photograph of the century in a specific spot that we will show you. For those who prefer heritage, Ravello and Amalfi with a dedicated driver service: Duomo, gardens of Villa Cimbrone, music in the air.
Wellness & soft luxury. Yoga in the morning on the terrace, holistic massages in your suite, sound bath at sunset. And for families: nanny service, kids kit in your room, tailor-made baby menu.
Lifestyle. We book the right tables, after-hours in artisan boutiques, private shoots with a local photographer: a memory on film, beyond the window seat at dinner.
The ideal pace? Slow, thoughtful, with a smooth transition between days at the beach and days on land. An example: Monday, hydrofoil and Capri; Tuesday, cooking class and home chef dinner; Wednesday, light trekking on the Sentiero degli Dei; Thursday, yacht day to Nerano; Friday, Ravello and music in the moonlight; Saturday, dolce far niente by the pool and shopping for ceramics. And when you return, Carminia awaits you, the same yet different, with the sky changed by a shade.
Useful information (the beauty of clarity). The villa accommodates up to 10 guests in 5 bedrooms, each with a private bathroom; the living area includes a hall, living room and kitchen; the infinity pool is heated (October–March with a typical range of 26–29 °C). Daily housekeeping, garden and pool care, porter service on arrival/departure, Wi-Fi and A/C are included, as is final cleaning. In some suites, the bathrooms have a whirlpool bath; outside, there is a BBQ and alfresco dining. A shuttle to the centre of Positano is available as an extra service; the nearest secure car park is about 300 metres away (for a fee). Cook service available, provided exclusively by the property management. For those arriving by hydrofoil: we recommend our private transfer from the pier to the most convenient drop-off point.
Two insider tips. The pool is more of a panoramic plunge pool than a swimming pool: perfect for cooling off, contemplating, taking pictures that look like a painting. And yes, this is the real coast: stairs, slopes, paths that give meaning to the view when you finally sit down to breathe it in. If you prefer to avoid driving during the peak months, driver & boat are the way to go.
For international travellers, Carminia is multilingual. GCC guests will appreciate privacy, in-villa dining, ladies-only spa on demand, late dinner service; friends from the USA/Canada will find a 24/7 personal concierge and “hotel-grade” service that leaves nothing to be desired; European guests will love the slow idea of an elegant home without rigid protocols, just a few minutes from the village but far from the crowds. The intention is always the same: to remove friction and give you time.
How to book with Camisa. We will provide you with a clear quote, with real inclusions, easy-to-read add-ons and a clear timeline: soft hold, deposit, final balances. Upon confirmation, Camisa Essential comes into play: pre-arrival planning, menu tasting with the chef, in/out logistics, tailor-made amenities. On the day of arrival, you will find the house polished to perfection; on the second day, you will already feel like you have been there a thousand times. It is our job to make you feel at home — only better.
At the end of your stay, the final ritual is simple: a leisurely breakfast on the terrace, a last glance towards Li Galli, the feeling of having regained confidence in beauty. Villa Carminia does not promise fireworks; instead, it offers what remains: the silence that refocuses, the light that simplifies, the sea that teaches you to breathe.
If this is what you are looking for, we are on exactly the same wavelength. Write to us: we will open the door, set the table and organise the rest.
