In a panoramic position on the island of Lipari, in the archipelago of the Aeolian Islands, less than 100 m from the sea, historic villa with garden for sale.

Perched on the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, in the pretty town of Vietri sul Mare, luxurious designer villa for sale. The property, designed by renowned architect Paolo Soleri in the 1950s, is the perfect example of the fusion of architecture and ecology so beloved of Soleri. The house is on one floor and houses a spacious living area with kitchen and service bathroom, large master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and second bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

The large window overlooking the sea offers breathtaking views and ensures continuity between indoors and outdoors, particularly in summer, when the two rooms merge and become one. In fact, from the house you exit onto two beautiful terraces (one paved in ceramic, the other in wood), one of which is very large located on the roof of the building and equipped with a sea-view Jacuzzi.

The villa has three entrances: two directly from Via della Costiera Amalfitana, while the third from the road that runs alongside the villa and then continues down the cliff to the sea. From the house one can in fact reach the beach in about 10’ on foot simply by following the road (which, except for some steeper parts, is very smooth and entirely paved).

This wonderful villa has been built on the rocky ridge above the sea in a residential area in the upper part of Positano, reached on foot through a characteristic road with 118 steps. The view opens onto a series of terraces degrading towards the sea, giving birth to unique shades of colors, green at first, then blue and grey towards the horizon with the Faraglioni of Capri.

The property is just 15' from the Piazzetta dei Mulini, in the heart of Positano, where one can even park a car. What's more, the property owns two private car spots, a rarity in the Amalfi Coast.

From the main door, descending a few steps, one reached the ample terrace/hanging garden with a beautiful pergola leading to the relax area with whirlwind tub and a small outdoor gym. From the same terrace one can also enter the ground floor of the property, with a spacious kitchen, dining area and a stunning living room with an 18th-century fireplace opening onto the panoramic terrace. The floor is completed by a bedroom with private bathroom.

Through a staircase down from the side terrace next to the living room one can reach an intermediate terrace leading to a guesthouse made up of entrance room, living area, bedroom and private bathroom. Inside the rocky cliff, reached via an internal staircase from the kitchen or an external staircase from the terrace above, are two storage rooms.

Going further down one reaches the 2nd basement with two bedrooms with private bathroom on one side (reached from the 1st basement), and a bedroom with private bathroom and veranda on the other side (reached from the ground floor instead).

On the lowest floor (4th basement) is the beautiful pool area with dressing room, whirlwind tub, summer kitchen and BBQ corner. At the opposite side of this huge terrace is the last bedroom, very spacious and welcoming, with private bathroom and a small exclusive terrace.

Each of the eight bedrooms are fitted with private bathroom and modern amenities such as air conditioning, VRD/DVD reader, satellite TV, minibar, private phone line an internet connection (WiFi and/or Ethernet).

Two outbuildings (138 m²) complete the property that also features 2,000 m² of lush garden with a unique view over the sea. Two gates open onto as many staircases that go down the cliff to the sea.

The villa is currently split into four independent units. The two lower floors (with three apartments in total), in particular, can be accessed directly from outside through the lush and beautiful garden. The second floor, on the contrary, is reached via an internal staircase winding inside the stone-covered tower.

This layout, together with the beautiful finishes and the unique and enviable location over the sea of Argentario, makes the villa the ideal investment for a rental business thanks to the exceptional privacy of each unit that can rely on its own private outdoor area.

The seabed around the island is easily reachable, even by non-professional scuba-divers, thanks mainly to the incredible clearness of the water. And it is thanks to this clearness that one can admire the beautiful life forms typical of the island and several remaining of Greek and Roman age.

The island is characterized by the typical Mediterranean steppe, mainly covered in mallow, mandrake and erba stella on the higher ground which leave space to glasswort and bird’s-foot trefoil on the cliffs going toward the coastline.
