Palazzo Santa Croce
Description
Palazzo Santa Croce is as ornate and colorful as its prime Positano setting, this luxury villa rental is among our most opulent villas on the Amalfi Coast. Palazzo Santa Croce offers to its guests frescoed ceilings, a private wine cellar, and a full-service spa.
The villa is accessible either on foot via 190 steps, or via a public elevator (8:00 am-12 midnight). Please note the public elevator is not affiliated with the villa, thus the villa is not responsible for its maintenance, schedule or operation. A fee may apply for the use of the elevator, and hours of operation are set by the township of Positano.
Surrounded by orange and lemon trees, Palazzo Santa Croce boasts panoramic views of the sea and Positano, one of the Amalfi Coast’s most picturesque towns. The magnificent yet traditional exterior hides a wealth of amenities, including a private spa with a Turkish steam bath, tiled pool with waterfall and resistance swimming option, sauna, hot tub, massage room, and more.
Step Inside the villa, the unique living space features gilt-framed paintings and a grand fireplace. Built-in bookshelves add a sense of history to the dining room, decorated with a crystal chandelier and antiques, and red drapes frame the villa’s sea views. With a stone fireplace and two pizza ovens, the Italian kitchen is every chef’s dream; for a memorable experience, take advantage of the complimentary Italian cooking class offered with each stay.
On the first floor, the two lavish master bedrooms feature spacious sitting rooms, private en-suite bathrooms, and access to the sea view terrace. Upstairs, two junior queen suites offer views of the sea, gardens and Positano, with private access to the walled citrus garden. An additional spare bedroom with single bed and a private bathroom provides additional space for a teenage child or member of staff.
Known for its exceptional restaurants and pebbled beaches, the town center of Positano is just a 15-minute walk away. Daily continental breakfasts and cook service are included with your stay at Palazzo Santa Croce: a truly relaxing escape. After all, what could be more appealing after a day exploring the Amalfi Coast’s attractions, than a restoring spa session and dinner on the sea-view terrace?

On the floor above, the two junior suites boast wood-beamed ceilings and an understated and bright decor.
