About Villa San Giacomo
Villa San Giacomo is an extraordinary 18th-century villa in the historic Liparlati district of Positano, built in 1741 on ancient Roman foundations and masterfully restored while preserving its Baroque character. The property spans four floors and features eight elegant suites with panoramic terraces overlooking Positano's bay, the Amalfi Coast, and the island of Capri. Over 300 metres of terraces, magnificent Mediterranean gardens, a swimming pool, a grand frescoed salon, and a historic library create a setting of genuine distinction — this is the villa where Netflix's Sense8 was filmed, and where international celebrities have celebrated since 2013.
