We had the most wonderful stay in Villa Antica Macina. Amalia was the best host I’ve ever experienced and she made it an unforgettable stay. Her homemade breakfasts were incredible and used fresh ingredients straight from the garden and have been unmatched in the rest of our trip around Italy. Amalia gave us lots of information about what to do around the Amalfi coast and gave great recommendations on restaurants. The location itself is perfect if you are planning on walking the path of the gods as it’s right on your doorstep and will give you incredible views of Positano. If anyone is planning on visiting Amalfi Coast then this is a must stay! I can’t recommend it enough! Thank you Amalia Love Francesca and Alex

Amalia the owner
A peaceful oasis of immeasurable beauty, in which dream-like views, pristine landscape, Mediterranean fragrances from the Amalfi Coast, all contribute to create the feeling of a true paradise on earth. The Villa is a recently renovated traditional country home, complete with its original thirteenth century old olive-press from which it takes its name; it is strategically located half-way up the hill, literally between sea and sky, in the small hamlet of Nocelle di Positano, from where the famous Path of the Gods, trekkers’ local favourite destination, starts. The natural beauty of the location contributes to the feeling of a dream-like holiday, set in a magical, almost surreal place, far from the everyday racket of modern life; still the proximity to Positano ensures you won’t miss out on the smart set and glitterati. A magnificent view awaits you, stretching from Punta Licosa in the Cilento peninsula, to Praiano, Positano, Isola de lì Galli up to the famous ‘Faraglioni’ of Capri, a feast for the eyes you can relish from the numerous balconies and a well-fitted and well-kept multi-level garden. Your host, Amalia, will be there to welcome you with her smile and hospitality.
A tiny, still relatively isolated mountain village, located 2km southeast of Montepertuso, Nocelle (450m) commands some of the most spectacular views on the entire coast. A world apart from touristy Positano, it’s a sleepy, silent place where not much ever happens and where the small population of residents are happy to keep it that way. The Sentiero degli Dei officially ends here.
