Ever wanted to live in a tower by the sea? Well now you can, with Mermaid’s Keep. Yep – this is an actual 16th century watchtower, converted in the early 20th century by an artist who clearly had an eye for a great view. The terraces offer opportunities for sun-worshipping from every angle – or, if you’re feeling more active, descend the private stairway to the ocean itself. Another big draw is the dining area lined by stone arches, with views onto the sea and the town of Positano. Beyond the keep, the fishing villages, hiking trails and peerless beaches of the Amalfi Coast await.

About Amalfi Coast
Overlooking the Gulf of Salerno, the Amalfi Coast has always attracted a certain echelon of well-heeled holidaymaker. From the eighteenth century onwards, many of the picturesque towns — Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi itself — were essential stop-offs for those lucky enough to embark on a Grand Tour, as well as later being favoured for a creative escapade by artistic types such as Byron, Ibsen and Steinbeck. It’s really not difficult...
