The space Villa Savina Nestled in the charming village of Nocelle, high above Positano, Villa Savina is much more than a holiday rental—it is a beautifully maintained family home, thoughtfully designed to offer comfort, elegance, and an authentic Italian experience. Filled with natural light and finished with high-quality materials, the villa combines spacious interiors with timeless style.

On the ground floor, you will find a large, bright L-shaped living and dining area, a cozy sitting alcove, a fully equipped professional kitchen, and a guest bathroom. An elegant staircase leads to the upper floor, where there are three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a balcony overlooking the terrace and the breathtaking Mediterranean Sea. The Kitchen The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with a large built-in electric oven, a six-burner gas cooktop, double sinks, and a full-size refrigerator with freezer. It is the heart of the home, where the owners and their family still prepare traditional meals for special occasions, often serving gatherings of up to 30 guests. French doors provide direct access from the kitchen to the terrace. Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room equipped with a washing machine, laundry sink, and two large folding drying racks. Bedrooms The upper floor features three air-conditioned bedrooms, all offering generous closet space and ample storage. Each bedroom opens through French doors onto the balcony that extends across the entire front of the villa. The master bedroom features a queen-size bed (190 × 150 cm) and an en-suite bathroom with a hydromassage bathtub. One additional bedroom has a private bathroom with a bathtub and shower, while the third bedroom has a private bathroom with a shower. Both additional bedrooms are furnished with queen-size beds (190 × 150 cm), which can be converted into twin beds upon request with advance notice. Outdoor Living Stretching across the entire front of the villa is a spectacular panoramic terrace divided into two inviting areas. The main terrace, accessible directly from both the living room and the kitchen through French doors, offers a comfortable shaded lounge area together with a spacious outdoor dining space—perfect for enjoying meals while overlooking the sea. At the far end of the terrace, beneath the shade of a fragrant orange tree, guests will find a quieter, more secluded corner ideal for reading or relaxing. The terrace is furnished with comfortable cushioned rattan sofas and armchairs, an outdoor dining table with seating, large sun umbrellas, and sun loungers. From here, guests can enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea stretching all the way to the horizon. The Story of Villa Savina Villa Savina was built by Maria Grazia Cinque and her husband, Francesco, on land that had belonged to Maria Grazia's family for generations. The villa takes its name from a large juniper tree ("savina" in the local dialect) that once stood near the entrance to the property. According to local tradition, the juniper possessed protective powers against the evil eye. Its branches were tied between the horns of cattle before they were taken to pasture to protect them from evil spirits. The property was also home to the family's traditional bread oven, where Maria Grazia's parents, Angela and Giuseppe, baked bread for their large family using nearly 100 pounds (45 kg) of flour, flavored with wild fennel seeds gathered from the surrounding mountainsides. After baking, the bread was dried so it could be preserved for weeks, sometimes even months. For centuries, every family in Nocelle owned a large bread oven, as the village remained completely isolated until the road connecting it to Positano was completed in 2002. Francesco's father, Giovanni, emigrated to the United States during the 1920s, where he opened a fruit and vegetable store in the Bronx. His sons, Francesco and Antonio, later joined him, and together they worked in America for many years. When the family eventually returned to Positano, they purchased an 18th-century villa, transforming it into what has become one of the town's best-known historic hotels. Following their marriage, Maria Grazia and Francesco fulfilled their dream of building their family home in the peaceful village of Nocelle, perched high on the mountainside overlooking the sea above Positano. Today, that dream lives on as Villa Savina—a home where generations of family history, local traditions, and genuine Italian hospitality come together to offer guests an unforgettable stay.
