Dorata

Villa Dorata is a super-luxury private palazzo perched 194 steps above the glorious Mediterranean and the light of Positano. Live like royalty in a villa decorated in high Baroque style - amidst lush, tasseled draperies; meticulously selected works of art; ornate chandeliers; exquisite frescoed ceilings; and vaulted alcoves. The exterior is an oasis of verdant gardens, fragrant citrus groves, and picturesque outdoor terraces with breathtaking panoramic ocean and village views.

The town of Positano has just inaugurated a public elevator from Via Marconi that locals and tourists can use to reach the higher part of town. The elevator eliminates the need for guests to climb the 250+ steps that separate the villa from Via Marconi (which is the closest drop-off spot for anyone arriving with a vehicle). Please note the public elevator is not affiliated with the villas, so the villas are not responsible for its maintenance. A fee may apply for the use of the elevator, and hours of operation are set by the township of Positano.
