Company information

Some garden a bit of a jungle. Cactus. I grow cactus on my own terrace. I love them. They grow like crazy. 2 white twin cats live here too Massimo and Celeste.Hope they wont bother you!

Property information

My old fisherman's house is almost on the beach. ( 50 steps some are steep) Three floors. Two floors for the guests one for my family. Quietness and beauty. Privacy. Silence. Absolutly non smoking. The sound of the sea. Every room faces the sea: huge unique panorama.

Neighbourhood information

The Fornillo beach is special quieter and cleaner less busy than the main beach in the center of Positano. I work with one of the beach bars, DA FERDINANDO where guests take their breakfast. A family cheerful atmosphere. The unique nightclub around is on the main beach which means a 10 minute walk along the beach.
