Stretching across the cobalt waters of the bay of Positano, the dreamlike views from Villa Bernardina are not easy to forget. Combine them with an idyllic terrace, charming interiors and an enviable location and you get one of the loveliest villas on the Amalfi Coast.
The epic scenery is undoubtedly the standout feature of this villa and there’s nowhere better to soak it all in than the large terraces. Collapse into a deckchair, relax on a sun lounger or dine al-fresco as you admire the panoramic sea views. Or why not hit the outdoor treadmill? You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better spot for running! As night falls, the spacious hot tub becomes illuminated and offers a wonderful setting for watching the sun go down.
Inside is just as spectacular as out, with traditional touches meeting modern luxuries to create an elegant and authentic feel. A large open-plan living and dining area complete with ceramic wall and floor tiles is a fantastic place to enjoy each other’s company, perhaps over a meal or game of cards. The patterned tiles and bright colours extend to each of the villa’s three bedrooms, which all boast a queen size bed, TV and en-suite bathroom.
Beyond your doorstep the delightful town of Praiano awaits, with supermarkets, restaurants and bars accessible on foot via steep paths and lots of steps! A 10-minute drive brings you to the little rocky beach at Marina di Praia where you can splash in the sea or take a boat ride across the bay.
Further along the coast sit the beautiful towns of Amalfi and Positano. Featuring colourful cliffside buildings, narrow winding streets and numerous gelaterias, they make for an enchanting day out.
Sorrento is 22km away and definitely worth a visit. There are piazzas and shops to explore, great restaurants and a popular beach. Plus, from the port here and in Positano you can take a boat to the seriously stunning island of Capri – one of the highlights of the Amalfi Coast.
