Welcome to Arcu Retreat, an intimate and authentic hideaway suspended between sky and sea, located in the panoramic village of Nocelle, above Positano. Once an ancient dwelling, today it is a refined, essential space that celebrates raw materials and the beauty of imperfection, inspired by the wabi-sabi philosophy. Arcu is a small retreat for two, designed for those seeking regeneration and a deep connection with nature. Inside, every detail is crafted to offer a sensory experience: a Jacuzzi-brand soaking tub, a rain shower with chromotherapy, a curated beauty corner, natural scents, a fully equipped kitchen, and a small bar area. Outside, a panoramic garden with solarium and solar shower offers breathtaking views stretching from Positano to the Faraglioni of Capri. Let yourself be guided by the slow rhythm of the place. The natural light, soft curves of the walls, raw textures, and minimalist furnishings invite you to slow down, listen, and reconnect with what truly matters. Arcu is not just a place to stay: it’s a living experience, designed for those who wish to dwell in the essence of things and live in harmony with nature.
