"If our nearest and dearest were traveling halfway across the world to see us get married, it only made sense to spend a few extra days together in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It was soon decided-our wedding would take place over four days at a farmhouse in Tuscany, and then a few of us would continue onto what we affectionately began to call our "friends-moon"."
"the dramatic views and sparkling water of the Amalfi Coast immediately rose to the top of our list. We needed a villa that could fit nine of us comfortably, with common areas to hang out in together and that picture-perfect backdrop that is synonymous with Positano. Villa Petite Syrene by Elite Villas checked all of those boxes and more (so much so that at first, I didn't believe it could be real)."
"Spoiler: It was very much real. We arrived in Positano after a long travel day and were greeted by the house manager, Valerio, who marched us through the winding, crowded streets to our villa, which is tucked away off the main street. Villa Petite Syrene is nestled quite literally in the middle of Le Sirenuse, with the hotel's private balconies visible from the villa's spacious, yellow-and-blue tiled terrace below."
"The view from the terrace immediately took our breath away (that, or the dozens of stairs we just climbed to reach it). To the right, the dome of Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta looked close enough to touch; the cliffside behind it is covered in colorful buildings that seemed to rise out of the sea. To the left, the black sand beach and bustling port open up to the Tyrrhenian Sea, which was just beginning to glisten as the sun sank behind the craggly coastline."
A couple held a four-day wedding at a farmhouse in Tuscany and then extended celebrations with a nine-person friends-moon on the Amalfi Coast. The group sought a Positano villa with communal spaces, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and an iconic coastal backdrop. Villa Petite Syrene by Elite Villas met those needs and exceeded expectations. Arrival involved navigating narrow, crowded streets with the assistance of a house manager to reach the villa tucked near Le Sirenuse. The villa's terrace offered expansive views of Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta, colorful cliffside buildings, a black sand beach, and the glistening Tyrrhenian Sea.
