Perched above Praiano, where it overlooks the bay of Positano, this villa's highlight might be the panoramic views of the Amalfi coast, but it doesn't too badly itself. Modern and bright, most rooms look outward to where the sea lies on the horizon. You'll find a butler, porter and housekeeper around, so there's less to worry about. Meanwhile, the large terrace juggles an outdoor gym, hot tub and various seating areas, including a dining table, perfect for chef-prepared alfresco dinners. Praiano, Positano and several beaches are within driving distance, but if you need help with your itinerary, your host will be happy to help.
