The 9 Weirdest Emmy Winners
1. Jeff Daniels for Outstanding Actor in a Drama?!?
Daniels was fine and all on The Newsroom. But, seriously, Emmy voters, you picked him over Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad)? Or Kevin Spacey (House of Cards)? Or last year's winner, Damian Lewis (Homeland)? Or, for the love of all that is good and great on television, perpetual Emmy also-ran Jon Hamm (Mad Men)?
That is just weird. Even Daniels thought so, opening his speech with, "Well, crap!"
2. Bobby Cannavale for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama?!?
Look, Cannavale was crazy over-the-top in a fun way on Boardwalk Empire. But what about Breaking Bad's Jonathan Banks or Aaron Paul? So subtle and wonderful and heartbreaking! And Game of Throne's Peter Dinklage? So brilliant and touching and drunk! And Mandy Patinkin's A+ beard and acting on Homeland so deserved a win this year!
Christina Hendricks' epic side-eye said it best: This win is pretty weird, everybody.
3. Ellen Burstyn for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie?!?
Burstyn is acting royalty, and she was delicious on Political Animals. But this Emmy had already been engraved for Sarah Paulson's career-topping work on American Horror Story: Asylum. Giving that Emmy to someone else is just really weird.
4. The Hour's Abi Morgan for Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Movie, or Dramatic Special?!?
For the people who are familiar with this BBC America series, it certainly was nice to see this period drama about BBC news reporters (think The Newsroom in the 1950s, and British) get recognized.
But Morgan beat out heavyweight writers Richard LaGravenese (Behind the Candelabra), Tom Stoppard (Parade's End), David Mamet (Phil Spector), and Jane Campion (Top of the Lake, with Gerard Lee). And an upset like that? WEIRD!
5. The Voice for Outstanding Reality Competition Program?!?
It's just so weird to see a show win here that isn't The Amazing Race, which has had a virtual stranglehold on this category since it was invented, losing only once in 2010 to Top Chef.
6. The Colbert Report for Outstanding Variety Series?!?
That thing I said about The Amazing Race almost winning its category every year? No show other than The Daily Show has won this category since 2003, full stop. Sure, The Colbert Report is a spin-off of that show, but still, it is wonderfully weird to see someone other than Jon Stewart take home this Emmy!
7. Tony Hale for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy?!?
This category had been commandeered by the fine gentlemen over at Modern Family, and if anyone was going to upset them, the good money was on Bill Hader for his final season on Saturday Night Live.
But Veep's Hale? So delightfully weird! Especially since he stuck around for a hilarious bit with his costar Julia Louis-Dreyfus when she won (which was a totally foreseeable win and therefore not weird at all)!
8. Merritt Wever for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy?!?
There were seven women in this category, granted, so a slimmer plurality than usual was needed to take home this Emmy. But Nurse Jackie's sublimely offbeat Wever still managed to beat out the powerhouse women of Modern Family, and Jane Krakowski for her last season on 30 Rock — and then she delivered the most fabulously weird Emmy acceptance speech in years and years.
9. Modern Family for Outstanding Comedy?!?
After an evening of so many unexpected, shocking, and totally weird wins, the fact that Modern Family managed to eke out its fourth consecutive Outstanding Comedy win felt like the #weirdemmys had circled back upon itself and was consuming its own tail. Or something.
It was a really weird Emmys, everybody!

Now here's a reviewer who's never met a WASP war criminal he didn't like*:
"I think [Dick Cheney's autobiography] is the most important memoir to emerge so far from the Bush era. The thing I like most about it is the thing many critics hate: the unapologetic, straightforward explanation and defence of the policies Cheney promoted for the 8 years of his vice-presidency." (Heartfelt defence of the Bush years, Greg Sheridan, The Australian, 15/10/11)
Fast forward to: "I do have one modest complaint about this memoir, however, and that is the things that are left out."
Let's see. There's China for one, and religion - but here's the one I really want to focus on: "Nor, beyond saying that he supported the military commitment, does he offer anything much about what he thought of the Vietnam war, which took place when he was a young adult."
Vietnam, eh? Here we have Australia's self-styled most influential foreign affairs analyst in Australian journalism, a guy who's not only met and interviewed Cheney, and who once summed him up as a "straightshooter," who finds it a tad strange that his "straightshooter" doesn't mention the war. Well, Greg, here's the reason why:
"In an era when many young men avoided military service for many reasons, few were so meticulous about the endeavor as Dick Cheney. Indeed, when the future secretary of defense arrived on the University of Wisconsin campus, he was arguably one of the most accomplished - and inventive - draft dodgers in the country. Unlike George W Bush, who performed some sort of service - ill defined and unrecorded as it may have been - in the Texas Air National Guard, Dick Cheney reacted to the prospect of wearing his country's uniform as a man with a deadly allergy to olive drab. Between 1963 and 1965, Cheney used his student status at Casper College and the University of Wyoming to apply for and receive four 2S draft deferments. As the fight in Vietnam heated up, Cheney fought like a true warrior to defend his deferments. Twenty-two days after Congress approved the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in August 1964, raising the prospect of a rapid expansion of the draft, Dick 'conveniently' - in the words of a 1991 Washington Post profile - married Lynne. Even if his student deferment was lifted, his status as a married man might have made the draft board more sensitive to Cheney's consistent, if frequently reframed, argument that he was needed on the home front, but the Vietnamese were not cooperating with Cheney's plan.
"The war kept demanding more and more American men, and the range of those who were eligible for the draft expanded rapidly. On May 19, 1965, it looked as if Dick Cheney's deferments would no longer protect him. He was reclassified with the most dangerous, draft status: 1A, 'available for military service'. No longer protected by his eternal student status, Cheney was still counting on his marriage to keep him off the front lines. But events were conspiring against him.
"Struggling to maintain the manpower for a war that he still thought could be won, President Lyndon Johnson announced on July 28, 1965, that draft call-ups would double. Three months later, on October 26, 1965, the Selective Services constraints on the drafting of childless married men were lifted. Da Nang was calling. And it did not look as though Dick had any excuses left. But there was one way for ambitious young men to avoid serving their country while maintaining their political viability. If Cheney had a child, he would be reclassified 3A, the status that allowed married men with dependents to remain out of uniform. That would work. Except, of course, that Cheney did not have a child - yet. Precisely nine months and two days after the Selective Service eliminated special protections for childless married men, Cheney was no longer childless. His daughter Elizabeth was born on July 28, 1966. Convenient? Coincidence? That's not Cheney's style. Writer, Timothy Noah, did the math and suggested that the timing of Elizabeth's arrival 'would seem to indicate that the Cheneys, though doubtless planning to have children some time, were seized with an untamable passion the moment Dick Cheney became vulnerable to the draft. And acted on it. Carpe diem! Who says government policy can't affect human behaviour'. Of course, Dick Cheney left nothing to chance. He applied for 3A status immediately, receiving it on January 19, 1966, while Lynne was still in the first trimester of her pregnancy.
"Twenty-three years later, when Cheney appeared before the Senate to plead the case for his confirmation as GHW Bush's secretary of defense, the nominee was questioned about his failure to serve. Cheney responded by saying he 'would have obviously been happy to serve had I been called'. In a more truthful moment that same year, Cheney admitted to Washington Post reporter George C. Wilson that 'I had other priorities in the sixties than military service'. Cheney's lie to the Senate has never caused much concern, but that 'other priorities' line has dogged him." (The Rise & Rise of Richard B. Cheney, John Nichols, 2004, pp 35-37)

*Free shipping to the UK*
Over the weekend of 25-27 April 1942, Bath suffered three horrifying raids. The first just before 11pm on the Saturday night lasted until 1am. The enemy aircraft then returned to France; refueled, rearmed and returned at 4.35am. Bath was still ablaze from the first raid, making it easy for the German bombers to pick out their targets. The third raid, which only lasted two hours but caused extensive damage, arrived in the early hours of Monday morning. The bombers flew low to drop their high explosives and incendiaries and then returned to pepper the streets with machine-gun fire.
It has been estimated that nearly 400 high explosive bombs and more than 4,000 incendiaries fell on Bath during the three raids. 417 people were killed, another 1,000 injured. Over 19,000 buildings were effected, of which 1,100 were seriously damaged or destroyed, including 218 of architectural or historic interest.
This book contrasts a choice selection of images taken during this conflict, with present day photographs of each location featured. All of the images have come from the collection held by Bath Central Library, many reproduced from the photographer's original negative. These form a small part of the extensive on-line collection of historical images that can be seen at www.bathintime.co.uk

WAN is delighted to announce its appointment as official media partner of what promises to be the largest UK event of its kind to date, UK Construction Week at the NEC, Birmingham. We'll be involved in various aspects of the event, which will house nine sector-specific shows – including the newly acquired Build Show and Timber Expo – from 6–11 October 2015. With around 1,000 exhibitors and an anticipated 55,000 visitors, it's the place to be for all key stakeholders within the built environment and construction industry.
WAN's Editor-in-Chief Michael Hammond commented, "We're very excited about this opportunity to inject some inspirational architecture into a major construction event and the timing couldn't be better with Birmingham gearing up for a massive development programme. This is very much Birmingham's time and we're very proud to be involved in this programme."
WAN will be on the scene throughout the dedicated trade-only days from 6–8 October with our own pop-up radio station. We'll be finding out all the latest news on products and trends from exhibitors, speakers and visitors and broadcasting 10 ten-minute podcasts at the show as part of our ongoing online series, 'Shoptalk'.
At the trade-only Build Show (6–8 October), WAN will be hosting the 'Birmingham Development Forum', which kicks off with an enlightening keynote speech by renowned Birmingham-born architect, Ken Shuttleworth of Make Architects (Birmingham's 'The Cube' is just one of his practice's many famous creations).
Ken's speech will set the scene of this unique opportunity for the UK's second largest city to 'come of age', outlining a vision of how the Birmingham of the future could (and should) look, and touching on important subjects such as regeneration and getting the balance of mixed-use right.
Ken says: "I'm delighted to be opening the debate at WAN's Birmingham Development Forum at UK Construction Week; this is a wonderful opportunity to bring so many professionals from the built environment sector together to share ideas and knowledge. I'm also excited that the event is taking place in my home city of Birmingham, which is on the threshold of many positive changes. I'll be outlining how I see those changes unfolding before handing over the discussion to the panel and delegates."
In another part of UK Construction Week, we're also pleased to announce Timber Expo as an official sponsor of the WAN Wood in Architecture Award 2015. At a private session on Thursday 8 October, WAN's panel of experts will be judging the Award – followed by a forum discussion open to delegates – and we'll be announcing the winner at a special drinks reception at Timber Expo that evening.
To give a little more background to UK Construction Week, it is being staged by Media 10, the UK's biggest design and build event company – probably best known for its hugely popular Grand Designs Live, hosted by Kevin McCloud at the NEC. This year, Grand Designs Live runs from 8–11 October and is joined by the Build Show, Timber Expo, Surface and Materials Show, Kitchens & Bathroom Live, Plant & Machinery Live, Energy 2015 and Smart Buildings 2015, all under the banner of UK Construction Week.
Lee Newton, CEO of Media 10, told us: "It's an exciting time to be involved in the construction industry. Construction growth is continuing to drive the UK's economic recovery and with more than 2.2 million people employed in this sector, output and productivity is only set to increase. We recognise that there's a very real desire for an event that will bring the whole industry spectrum together, providing a much needed opportunity to network, learn and do business – as well as simply celebrating the industry at a time of renewed optimism."
His comments are resoundingly borne out by a newly released report by the NoPalaver Group – a provider of accounting services to contractors. Its findings – based on year end 31 December 2013, the latest data available – show there has been a sharp rise in the number of new construction businesses being set up. Figures show that overall there was a net gain of 5,445 construction businesses in 2013, as more new firms opened than closed down for the first time in five years. This compares to a net loss of 7,030 construction firms the year before.
We look forward to UK Construction Week with eager anticipation.

4 Research FAQs
5 WHY DID WE DO THIS SURVEY? The study was undertaken to help provide much needed context for Australia s small businesses and their trusted advisors. We wanted to find out where QuickBooks Online, the worldwide leader in accounting software, stood in the Australian market and our study showed that we are exactly where we believed the product was number one in prospects eyes. We ve always been confident in the ability of QuickBooks Online to help support small business success in Australia. Now we have the numbers that prove it. We encourage all businesses, accountants and bookkeepers to try QuickBooks Online now and experience the difference. 3
6 WHAT WAS THE METHODOLOGY OF THIS SURVEY? Intuit commissioned Symplicit, a highly regarded independent third-party to conduct the usability study in person and online. We worked with 134 small business owners and employees who had never used either software before. Respondents did not know Intuit was behind the survey. We commissioned an independent third-party organisation because we wanted unbiased feedback. Objective opinions help us improve QuickBooks Online. If the participants had preferred Xero, we d be spending more time improving QuickBooks Online instead of sharing the findings. HOW DO WE COMPARE TO XERO, RECKON AND MYOB? Right now, Xero is the Australian market leader in built for the cloud accounting software, so we started there. Intuit QuickBooks Online is rapidly closing the gap on the competition in Australia and this new study shows that the product is a clear winner when it comes to creating an invoice and the overall experience. 4
7 WHY DID WE SURVEY PEOPLE ON THE BASIC TASKS? Setting up an accounting file easily and getting paid are two essential tasks for small businesses, so we re starting there. We have teams of developers around the world working to make QuickBooks Online as powerful as possible for our customers. As leaders in cloud technology, we re able to deliver updates on a weekly basis, which offers great flexibility. And supporting an open and integrated ecosystem we re able to scale even faster by connecting to the apps and tools that small businesses in Australia already use and love. WHY HAS INTUIT FOCUSED ON XERO FOR THIS CAMPAIGN? Intuit is obsessed with helping small businesses, and the accountants and bookkeepers they work with, be more successful. We did this study to dispel myths i.e. beautiful accounting and to give customers the opportunity to try it for themselves. CAN I OBTAIN MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE STUDY FOR CLIENTS? Yes. Intuit has developed a range of materials to assist you with client conversations. We can provide you with client copies of the campaign materials and/or QuickBooks Online brochures. 5
8 Comments from research participants We have received a number of queries about the research participants and their direct feedback. Here is a sample of what some of the participants had to say.
9 RICHARD MCNAIR Office manager at Bellson Electric Carringbah, NSW Richard McNair has been using a desktop product for around six years and said as a result of this trial he is planning on moving to the cloud, with QuickBooks Online being his preference over Xero. Xero was a bit confusing for a first time user. With QuickBooks Online it was quick and easy to get started. I had no problems. I was completely confident with completing key tasks and I had a wow moment when invoicing with QuickBooks Online it was so much easier than I thought, so simple and quick. I found Intuit QuickBooks Online was better than Xero. It was easier to use and more intuitive. I much preferred the interface on QuickBooks Online too. It was simpler and I liked the colour scheme with the great money bar feature. Emily Johnson said she was amazed at how far QuickBooks Online has come since she tried the desktop version back in 2009 and found it faster, easier to use and more client-compatible than Xero. QuickBooks Online was so much easier to use than Xero and I completed all of my tasks with confidence. With QuickBooks Online, I also felt like I would be able to save time which I could then spend on other parts of my business. EMILY JOHNSON Accountant and owner of Count Em As an accountant with more than seven years experience, I found Xero frustrating and disappointing. If I can t use it from the get-go, how could I recommend it to my clients? 7
10 How will you know if QuickBooks Online is right for your client? If you have clients considering or asking for Xero, it is more than likely the client will ask for your advice and recommendation.

Need to feel confident in using the software? Want to have an enjoyable experience so that they continue using the software without issues? If you answered yes to most of the questions above then it is likely your clients will find QuickBooks Online beneficial to run their business. 11
12 CONVERSATION STARTERS If you have clients reevaluating their software needs, here are a few questions to help frame up a conversation. How many invoices are you sending per month? Are you confident that you have good insight into your business risks and opportunities as they arise? How much time do you want to invest on training on the software?

An Interview with K. Webster
Today I am so thrilled to have K. Webster on Write Like a Wizard! I am such a fan girl. Recently, I read "Dirty Ugly Toy," and it was incredible. I hope you enjoyed her entry in my writing challenge yesterday. Enjoy her interview, and look forward to my review of "Dirty Ugly Toy" tomorrow!
Where are you from?
What inspired you to write your first book?
A little over two years ago, I went to a signing with Colleen Hoover, Abbi Glines, and Jamie McGuire. Something about meeting them and learning more about them inspired me. I went straight home and opened a Word document to write my first book. The rest is history!
Do you write full-time or part-time? How do you balance your writing life with your family/work life?
I'm a full-time writer. I attempt to keep my work hours during the day while my two kids are at school. Not only can I focus better in the quiet house, but also, I can give them my undivided attention in the evenings. It doesn't always work out that perfectly but that's what I strive for.
What book are you reading now?
I just finished a dark, suspenseful romantic trilogy called With Visions of Red by Trisha Wolfe and it was amazing!
Can you share a little of your current work with us?
Currently, I'm working on my darkest read to date. I wrote without boundaries or rules. This book is meant to disgust and frighten my readers. It's romance though so there'll be a light at the end of the tunnel…eventually. This is War, Baby is an intense, steamy, and psychological thriller of a romance!
How do you overcome writer's block?
Reading and watching movies ALWAYS drags the blanket covering my mind away and clears the way for me to write my stories. Something about watching other people's art helps me find my way back to my own.
What was the most fun part of writing your book?
The best part of writing for me is watching my general story idea take shape into something greater—something people can interpret, understand, and love. I like seeing when readers are able to grasp tiny nuances I sneak into stories because I know I've done my job.
What was the hardest part of writing your book?
Not chasing other ideas before I finish what I've started. Sometimes other characters speak louder in my head and it's hard to shut them up so I don't quit on something that I'd once started with the same fervor as the story currently begging for attention.
Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?
Always learning. With each book, each review, each edit, I feel like I take all of that information and utilize it to help me make my stories stronger, richer, and more palatable.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Write first, worry later. Write first, edit later. Write first, promote later. In a nutshell, get that darn story out of your head and the rest can wait. If you're constantly distracted by worries of whether or not the book is good enough, or agonizing over every single word you write, or are focused on making teasers or book covers when you're not even halfway through your manuscript, then you'll never get the best story out that you can. Instead, focus on the book and then put everything else behind that. Don't get distracted by what you are first and foremost: a writer/storyteller.
Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
Thank you for always taking a chance with me. I tend to write wherever my mind takes me. It's taken me through hell and heaven and through shapeshifting humans. It's taken me through the Victorian era with naughty talking lords and countesses. It's taken me through the worlds of dark, dirty crazy alphas. And it's taken me into the minds of serial killers and villains. I'm thankful that no matter where my stories carry me and through what genre, I have readers that follow me there. That trust I'll give them something worth reading.
Do you have an agent or publisher? How did you go about finding one?
It's all me. I do all the work and it'll probably always be that way for me. I'm kind of a control freak when it comes to my own success. Plus, I like keeping all the monies rather than just a portion.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I'm trying to talk the hubs into moving to Florida. A little sunshine and ocean water never hurt anyone!
If you could have any super power, what would it be?
Super focus. I tend to get easily distracted by anything and everything. If there was a switch I could flip that kept me on task, I'd gladly keep that switch flipped from 9-5 each day!
Author Bio:

Anna is half Italian, half Danish and grew up in Luxembourg, where she trained mainly in Jazz at Jazz-Ex from age 14. She first came to London in 2000 to study at university but after some travels and time spent living in Mexico teaching English, returned to be permanently based in the UK since 2005. Having always had an interest in Martial arts discipline, she trained intensively in Taekwondo from 2006-2009, taking part in many UK competitions and also practiced Aikido, but after a chance visit to a salsa bar in London in 2007, she discovered social dancing and has never looked back.
From 2007-2010 she learned the different latin rhythms of Salsa (N.Y, L.A, Cuban and Colombian), Bachata, Reggaeton, Merengue and Cha Cha with various teachers including Super Mario, Special Tee, Yanet Fuentes, Rafael del Busto and Latin Dance Academy in London.
Interest in latin dance lead her to Pineapple studios where, from 2009 to 2012, Anna trained, performed and taught as part of DanceMyWay Latin Dance Academy, focusing on Samba no PĂ© and Latin Jazz with basis in latin ballroom technique. In 2011 she qualified as a Zumba Fitness instructor and ran her own class in London until late 2012 when she decided to dedicate more time to working with Brazilian Social Dance. She continues to attend classes in Jazz, Samba no PĂ©, Dancehall, House, Afro-contemporary and Afro-Brazilian at studios across London.
Since 2010 Anna has focused extensively on Brazilian rhythms, training in Samba no PĂ© with DanceMyWay, Romero de Mangueira, and Paraiso school of Samba, Samba de Gafieira and Zouk Lambada with Kleber SaĂşde and various other teachers in London.
Most recently, Anna participated in the Samba de Gafieira section of the London 2012 Olympics flag handover to Rio 2016, Notting Hill Carnival and Thames festival, and also performed in the International Zouk Flashmob 2012 at The Scoop in London (see in the archive of our events). She teaches and choreographs with Kleber and the Brazilian Social Dance team.
Anna is passionate about learning something new every day and the discipline and training that goes into dancing, martial arts and movement in general. She believes that, with the right approach, anyone can learn to dance and that social dance is much more than just exercise, it's a lifestyle that is about expressing your individuality, finding your confidence, connecting with people, learning new cultures and making people happy.

text: London: Voters headed to polls on Thursday to cast their ballots in a historic referendum on whether Britain should remain a member of the European Union (EU) or leave. A record number of people -- 46,499,537 -- are registered to take part in the once-in-a generation vote, BBC reported. Polling stations opened at 7 a.m. and will close at 10 p.m. It is only the third nationwide referendum in Britain's history and comes after a four-month battle for votes between the 'Leave' and 'Remain' campaigns. The registered voters include Britons from England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar -- a British territory off the southern coast of Spain. The referendum ballot paper asks the following question: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" The results are expected by early Friday morning. Once the results are in, they will be announced by region rather than by constituency. The 12 regions comprise Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, London and eight English regions. Britain has been a member of the EU since 1973.

Limited Edition Shirt – Walt Whitman's Advice to the State Scholars
In conjunction with our end-of-year fundraiser, 1888 collaborated with TankFarm & Co. to produce a limited edition shirt inspired by Walt Whitman's Advice to the State Scholars: "The current cannot be stopped." Walt Whitman, 1888
To receive your shirt, please consider supporting 1888 and donating as a Member, Friend, Family, Advocate, or Associate.
The history behind Walt Whitman's quote: "In February 1888, The Signal, the student newspaper of The College of New Jersey (then the New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools), published an interview with Walt Whitman titled "Walt Whitman's Advice to the State Scholars." The Signal came into existence in 1885, and two of its pioneers-George Worman, class of 1886, and Francis B. Lee, class of 1888-had traveled to Camden to conduct the interview with Whitman, soliciting advice for those state scholars who wished to follow the "literary life." The interview, the first one conducted by The Signal, presents Whitman's strong pedagogical nature, as he gladly offers literary advice to the young state scholars."
Kukawski, Nicole. "Walt Whitman's Advice to New Jersey State Scholars: An Unknown Interview." Walt Whitman Quarterly Review 23 (Summer 2005), 54-59.

The Torre is one of the most prestigious residences along the Amalfi Coast, given its breath-taking view overlooking the pristine sea and its splendid architecture and compelling history. This guardian tower was built by the Normans in the 13th century to protect the coast from attack by the Saracens army. The structure is composed by separated areas and levels all connected by different pathways, corridors and passages, an interior and the man-made structure that balance with the natural environment, which provides guests with ample space to enjoy both their private and common spaces. The interiors were designed by the famous futuristic architect and writer Gilbert Clavel, who transformed this marvellous space into a unique and inspiring architectural structure. Intellectuals and artists, such as Cocteau, Picasso, and Depero have been guests in this provocative paradise. There is a complete symbiosis between the architectural structure and the environment, where each element enhances the other thanks to the selection of colours, materials, light, and details - creating succint harmony. This gorgeous seaside residence is elegance without ostentation. The property is divided into three different structures: La Torre, Le Sirene, and Il Porticato. The estate can welcome 13 guests, boasting five double bedrooms with air-conditioning and three single bedrooms. The property also features nine bathrooms. La Torre, built upon different levels, features a fully-equipped, modern kitchen; a double/twin bedroom with windows overlooking the sea; a double bedroom; a spacious living room facing Positano; and a charming single bedroom, with a balcony overlooking the sea and the Li Galli's Island. La Torre offers a 360-degree roof terrace view over the coast and the sea. Le Sirene features a spacious and bright double bedroom; a single bedroom; and a third floor dining and living room with a marvellous, spacious terrace with breathtaking views of both the Amalfi Coast and the Li Galli's island. Il Porticato features a dining terrace that can accommodate all guests for lunch or dinners with a view of Positano framed by the arch of the stone of the building; a sitting room; two lovely double bedrooms; and a single bedroom. This ancient tower, a magnificent mansion with a private access to the sea, is built upon a rocky outcrop jutting into the turquoise sea, reachable only by boat or by a footpath from of the Positanos' main beaches. The view, the location, and the structure of this property create a true postcard of the picturesque Amalfi Coast. It offers a truly luxurious Amalfi retreat.
