History:

The Villa was built in 1716 by the famous wizard that was included in the design of the building, prestigious lacquered doors, the ceiling decorated with frescos, stucco and wall with lace patterns. In the 18th century, Positano has become a poor and neglected city and many of its inhabitants immigrated to the United States. This Villa, however, was not abandoned during this period and remained populated until the 20th century.

Edward Ghillausen artist and representative of the German philosophical Bauhaus movement, which was suppressed for political reasons, recognized in 1926 that the property is vacant and decided to rent it. Ghillausen lived here until 2000 when he died at the age of almost 100 years. He filled the house of this culture and its love of art and soon became one of the most important and famous people in Positano. Ghillausen brought not only culture, but also invited to the Villa of famous people such as Picasso, Carr writers John Steinbach, Corrado Alvaro, Dino Buzzati, Martin wolf and Alberto Moravia, as well as such artists as Neapolitan Caprile and German artist Richard Oelze. As proof of his greatness, Ghillausen offered its hospitality to a group of German refugees who were hiding in nearby Positano, from 1939 to 1945 from the Nazi regime.
