Andiamo : Wine, Food and Sex

I don’t know what it is about Positano that brings forth these lusty desires. Upon arriving at Villa Adonia, I was more than a little amused to see the bedrooms decorated with erotic art. The kitchen has three separate gas burners and a grill. The dining room is huge and decorated with Venetian chandeliers. There are three cabinets full of wine glasses.

Wine, food and sex. I am grinning.

The Villa is right at the top of the town which means 739 steps to the beach. The narrow paths are lined with small boutiques, art galleries, wine shops, trattorias, gelaterias, and enotecas so it isn’t like you starve on the way down. It’s an Italian treasure trove. What I really sense is that Positano brings out the inner goddess. That earthy, lusty woman (or man) that is buried under fear and expectation. It’s nice knowing you are bella. It’s good knowing your hips wriggle as you walk down the (many) stairs. It’s good remembering that you are attractive and confidently smile at the world.

That is the magic of Positano. The awakening of the senses. Oh…and the food, wine and sex aren’t bad either.
