Vacation in Positano

We loved it! The Villa was beautiful and great location. We got a workout in everyday walking nearly 300 steps up 2-3 times a day. The excursions we took were fantastic as was the food and wine. We had an automatic alarm clock with the rooster (just a bit early for us so we plugged ears and made white noise). The only thing I missed was having paper towels. We had someone in to clean and give us clean towels that was totally unexpected. Gulio was great as was his brother at the poolside cafe. Private beach too. All really good. Oh, and the views!!

Villa Ermelinda was fantastic

Villa Ermelinda was fantastic!!! Our extended family stayed for 8 days and absolutely enjoyed our time at the villa and in beautiful Positano and with our trips along the coast. The pictures of the villa on the website are very accurate - it's beautiful. We enjoyed our morning cappuccino on the terrace roof top (which by the way has a fun outdoor shower if you want to cool off) and also enjoyed breakfast, dinner or wine the second story terrace with a outdoor dinning table - also a fantastic view of the water and coast. Our host Giulio and his family were incredible and had a lovely snack and beverages waiting for us on our arrival and were always so amazing at answering our texts with helpful information. Would highly recommend this Villa. Everything is a short 5-15 min (beautiful) walk away (with quite a bit of steps... but that is everywhere on the Amalfi Coast... so bring your comfortable walking shoes.) Thank you to Giulio and to the great 'Summer in Italy' team for making our vacation so amazing. The Summer in Italy team were 10 out of 10 - top notch! So helpful.

We stayed at Villa Ermelinda in June 22

We stayed at Villa Ermelinda in June 22. We chose this villa because of the size and location. The villa was able to accommodate all 7 ladies. Another big plus was that each person could have their own bed. The views were beautiful and the house was spacious. Each room has its own on suite. We spent most of our time outside on the terrace enjoying the phenomenal views of Positano. This home also shares a pool and a beach. The property is a short walk to the crowded main beach and shops. This house is good for those who are able bodied. There are lots of steps to get to the house then down to the pool then the beach. Giulio [the owner] along with his brother were very accommodating. They were able to recommend either places to visit or places to dine at. They were very responsive every time we had an inquiry.

Our family just returned from Positano and our stay at Villa Ermelinda was a dream come true! The villa was perfect for our family and the views were spectacular.

At Villa Ermelinda we were treated like guests in a 5 star hotel!

Villa Ermelinda was perfect for our two families to stay in

Villa Ermelinda was perfect for our two families to stay in. The pool and the direct access to the beach set this villa above all others in terms of access to water as well as having a wonderful view. Costantino and his sons were fantastic hosts. Their customer service was the best we have ever had in a villa/house rental. I would say that Summer In Italy has an excellent customer service. When I had questions, you were quick to respond and I liked that you have someone in the office to call with any questions we had.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our week in Positano at Villa Ermelinda. The property was beautiful and comfortable, the view was spectacular!!! Each bedroom had its own air conditioner which was a definite plus with five women staying there. The owners were responsive to every request. We loved the olive oil and fresh basil that you graciously dropped off at the villa. Thank you for making our stay so amazing!!!! It was a week that will always be an incredible life-time memory for us! Summer In Italy has been great! Very responsive! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time at Villa Ermelinda and its beautiful, peaceful surroundings

We had an amazing time at Villa Ermelinda and its beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The villa was bright and fresh and clean. We enjoyed many family dinners on the terrace. The location of the villa was terrific, close to everything without being in the busy center. The pool and direct access to the beach were a plus though quite a walk. It was the host family that truly made our stay amazing. They went above and beyond in generosity and hospitality. They personally were a highlight! Summer In Italy was very responsive and helpful in planning our trip along with lots of great recommendations.

We had a fabulous stay at Villa Ermelinda

We had a fabulous stay at Villa Ermelinda! The villa is very spacious and was very comfortable for our family of 5. The outdoor terraces have absolutely breathtaking views. We also took advantage of the private beach which was beautiful. The villa is set amidst lemon and olive trees and is very quiet and peaceful. The villa is on the top of a hill so there are quite a few steps (approximately 130 steps) but we didn't mind as everywhere in Positano is on a hillside. It was only about a 10 minute walk down the hill to the center of town where there are many fabulous restaurants. We enjoyed staying in Positano very much and feel that it was more charming and centrally located than Sorrento. Costantino and Giulio were wonderful hosts and could not have been more hospitable. They helped us throughout the week with restaurant recommendations, reservations and taxis. Upon our arrival they graciously provided us with hand-picked grapes from their vineyard, delicious fresh-baked rolls and a few essentials in the refrigerator. We had a great stay and made many fond memories there! My experience with Summer In Italy was very positive. The person I chatted with on-line with was very helpful and pleasant. The pictures of the villa on your web site were very accurate as was the description of the villa.
