Positano. Best possible view.

Not a big review writer, but this place is a postcard at the top of 210 steps. You get used to the steps and the view is worth it. Great place.

Million Dollar View in Positano

My wife and I stayed at this property for 4 nights beginning on August 26. The view is spectacular from a huge deck that included a dining table & chairs, two loungers and two high back chairs. I don't think you could find a better view anywhere in Positano. The apartment was very clean with everything needed to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Giovanni was a wonderful host and helped arrange porters for our luggage and a private driver for our trip to Naples upon checkout. I would highly recommend this apartment if you plan on visiting Positano. Quite a few steps up to the property but well worth the climb.

Beautiful View in Positano

We had a wonderful stay in Positano at Giovanni's place. It was a lot of stairs-- but so worth it for the view. Due to the location of this apartment, it feels less crowded/busy compared to the main beach of Positano. We really enjoyed Da Ferdiando's at Fornillo Beach (we rented chairs/umbrella two days at the Beach Club). You can't find this view anywhere else!! The pictures are incredibly accurate and the view is jaw dropping!

Best view and host in Positano

Holy Steps!!! There are around 200 steps with a good incline from the street but each step is worth it for the view and the accommodations. Use the porters at the port for all your bags, worth every penny. We are almost 60 and climbed the steps several times each day. Giovanni went above and beyond. Villa was spotless and served us well. Pictures do not do the view justice. Ferry was cancelled and Giovanni arranged for a car to take us to Naples and the porters to carry our bags down. He is the best host in Positano

Don’t pass this up!

As long as you don’t mind steps (which if you’re going to Positano that should be expected), don’t pass up staying at this place. Giovanni was very helpful and his property is amazing. The views are incredible. What a unique property and experience. It was the perfect stay for my honeymoon!

Absolutely loved it!

My boyfriend and I came here (my first trip to Italy). Per the reviews, I was mentally prepared for the many stairs, but not physically prepared. After a few days, we both feel much more in shape. I recommend planning your day out so you do not need to walk up the stairs more than once or twice daily. The place has the most gorgeous view and is absolutely worth the trek up to the place. Before arriving in Positano, I received recommendations to get reservations at all sorts of hotel restaurants in order to get the famous Positano view for pictures. If you stay here, you don’t need any other view! The place is quieter as it is off the main Street, but walkable to everything you could want to do. The small beach is just a few minutes walk, which we preferred to the main beach that was much busier. However, if you are interested in the main beach, that is also just 15 minutes away as well. I was pleasantly surprised how many options we had for coffee, restaurants, pharmacy, markets, gelato, all about 15 mins walk. We spent two full days at the beach and spent another in Capri by taking the ferry from the main beach. I was happy to be able to use the washing machine after arriving to Positano from Rome. AC is excellent too. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect positano getaway

This apartment is the perfect accommodation. The AC works great. The balcony is huge with a killer view! There are a lot of stairs but you get used to them and learn to appreciate as you eat more and more pasta. :) it is also on a quieter side of the town which was really nice. I will recommend to all my friends and family this place.

Breathtaking!!

This is the perfect place to stay in Positano! We absolutely loved the property. The location is wonderful and close to the best restaurants (Posides for breakfast, Da Vincenzo and Il Fornillo for dinner) in town. The steps are definitely worth the views. Giovanni was super helpful and left a wonderful bottle of his own wine for us to enjoy. We couldn’t have asked for a better 10th anniversary trip! Highly recommend!!

Amazing view, amazing place, amazing hosts

This property was perfect for our vacation. Breathtaking 180+ degree view of Positano and the sea Short walk to main drag and beach (15 min) - lots of stairs, but that is Positano, as is expected. Grocery is an 8 minute walk Very clean Bright and airy Giovanni and Maria are very gracious and very attentive hosts. They even arranged our shuttle and porter services. Would definitely come back!!

Incredible view of Positano

We loved our stay at Giovanni's place. We felt we had one of the best views of Positano and the Mediterranean from our huge private terrace. If you're familiar with Positano, then you know you'll be ascending and descending a lot of stairs during your visit, but that just helps build your appetite for all the amazing food nearby. Giovanni will even help you find reasonably priced porters or a private transfer to Naples if you need. Highly recommended if you prefer a private place perched high above Positano with million dollar views at a great value.

Paradise in Positano

A quiet retreat high above the cliffs of Positano! The apartment is small but just the right size for a couple. It was clean and quiet. We enjoyed ourselves on the balcony! The steps are formidable.... but worth the view and the separation from the merriment at the shore.

Magnificent views

There are a lot of steps but we got used to it. The views from the flat are to die for. My husband is 83 and he was not sure of the steps at first but he soon became accustomed to the walk up and took his time. There is everything you need in the flat. Giovanni and Maria were fantastic hosts. The retaurant at the bottom of the hill is IL Fornillo was fantastic and the wait staff were delightful

Most amazing stay

We had the best experience at this villa. Giovanni was SO helpful with the entire process and gave great recommendations. He also organized our travel from the airport to Positano. We had the most amazing view including the mountains, ocean, and city. The terrace is INCREDIBLE and very worth the steps to get to the villa. The villa is wonderful and has all the amenities one could need. Overall, we had the best experience at this villa.

Paradiesisches Fleckchen Erde

Es ist wie in der Beschreibung wunderschön. Der Ausblick einfach traumhaft, dazu die herrliche große Terrasse. Sonne von früh bis nachmittag. Die Wohnung selber ist sehr angenehm, vom Bett aus Blick aufs Meer, die Küche im Aufenthaltsraum mit allem notwendigen ausgestattet. Sehr angenehm ist die Heizung, wir waren im Februar da, wo die Nächte noch kalt sind teilweise. Dass es 200 Stufen hinauf sind zum Haus, ist mehrfach vermerkt, aber Positano ist eine vertikale Stadt und daher gehören Treppen und Stufen wie an der ganzen Amalfiküste einfach dazu. Das Parken im Ort ist mit zusätzlichen Kosten verbunden, wir hatten den von Giovanni empfohlenen bewachten Parkplatz am Fuße der Treppen für eine Woche. Das ist bequem und sicher, auch wenn es pro Tag mit 30 Euro zu Buche schlägt, wir hatten dank Giovannis Vermittlung und mit einem kleinen Auto zusätzlichen Rabatt verhandeln können. Alternativ könnte man am Straßenrand der Hauptstraße oberhalb parken. Positano ist ein wunderbarer Ort um die Amalfiküste zu erkunden, man sollte nicht das kleine aber sehr feine archäologisches Museum neben dem Dom auslassen. Am Ende mag man gar nicht mehr nach Hause fahren.

Fantastic property

Giovanni is a great host! Easy to communicate with and very detail oriented. The property is beautiful and reflects the attention to detail of a homeowner managed property. The views are better then the photos as you have panoramic ocean views to the south and Positano city and mountain views to the northeast. We parked above for free and walked down. A hundred extra steps but no big deal. Stay here if it’s available.

Beautiful view over Positano

We loved staying in this beautiful apartment! Be aware that there are a lot of stairs to get up to the apartment (you shouldn't be staying in Positano if you don't like stairs!), but it is worth it! It is high above the busy main area of town, so it is nice and quiet. The view from the terrace can't be beat. We stayed here in October, so it wasn't very busy, and we were able to walk to plent of places to eat and shop and hike. A short bus ride will take you to Amalfi. This is a perfect place to vacation!

Fantastic apartment with beautiful views!

This home is in an absolutely perfect location with a fantastic view. Pictures will not do it justice at all! Giovanni is also incredibly responsive and kind. I would absolutely recommend this place if you are looking for something a little quieter, but also incredibly close to everything. I believe someone already mentioned it, but the only small downside is there are many stairs to get to the property. That being said, there are many stairs in Positano anyways. Thank you, Giovanni, for the excellent stay!
