Villa Servidei is born as a refined representation mansion for a wealthy Neapolitan family of merchants in 1741 to overlook the harbor of Positano, from where they would be able to see their ships sailing in from the sea. They enlisted the services of the most famous artists of the time to fresco the ceilings and fill each room with precious furniture and artworks.
It has always been secretly guarded and far from the stream of tourists that since the Post-War period have crowded the town’s narrow streets. Since 2013 Villa Servidei has opened its doors to few lucky ones that will participate to this ‘royal’ miracle. Today guests sleep in sumptuous suites decorated with exquisite antiques and period paintings but supported by the latest contemporary technology and comfort. The Villa is available today for long stay rentals and events. The impeccable services and warm hospitality offered, combined with unique interior decor, provide a truly magical experience.
