About us

A house above the sea

Casa Scogliera is a private house on the cliff at Laurito, the quiet eastern end of Positano, ten minutes' walk along the shore from the Spiaggia Grande. It was built in the 1920s for a Neapolitan family who came for the summers, and it still feels like that: a house rather than a hotel, with the sea below every window.

Five terraces step down the rock between lemon trees, vines and bougainvillea — the lemon grove at the top, the pergola where dinner is laid, a saltwater plunge pool cut into the cliff, and two private terraces off the suites. Inside, floors are old terracotta and hand-painted Vietri tile, walls are white lime, and the beds are made with Italian cotton.

What our customers say

★★★★★
We came for my mother's seventieth, ten of us across three generations, and nobody wanted to leave the pergola. Dinner on the first night — clams, the fish baked in salt, the lemon cake — was the best meal of the trip.
Charlotte, United Kingdom
★★★★★
Waking up in the Terrace Suite with the shutters open and the whole bay in front of the bed is something I will not forget. The stone bath at sunset was a close second.
Marco, Switzerland
★★★★★
The Lemon Garden Apartment was perfect for our family of four. The children picked lemons every morning and the host had the boat ready for us the day we asked. Thoughtful in every detail.

Frequently asked questions

See all questions →
What time are check-in and check-out?

Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 10:30. Our host meets every arrival at the gate on Via Laurito. If the house is free the day before or after, we will happily let you in earlier or keep your bags.

Can we rent a single suite, or only the whole villa?

Both. Book The Whole Villa for up to ten guests and the house is yours alone, or book the Terrace Suite, Majolica Suite, Lemon Garden Apartment or Sea-view Studio on their own. When single suites are let, the pool, pergola and garden are shared with no more than three other parties.

Is there a minimum stay?

Three nights for a suite or the studio, and five nights for The Whole Villa from June to September. Outside summer, two nights for a suite and three for the villa.

How do we get to Casa Scogliera?

The nearest airport is Naples, about 90 minutes by car. We arrange a private transfer in a Mercedes saloon or van, or a boat from Salerno or Amalfi in summer. Cars cannot reach the door: the gate is on Via Laurito, and our porter carries your luggage down the 42 steps to the house.

Is there parking?

There is no parking at the house — it is a cliffside home reached by steps, like most of Positano. We reserve a space in a garage on the coast road at a daily charge, and the porter meets you there.
