Perfect location!

This is the perfect location and a comfortable apartment and terrace for a stay in Positano. The kitchen supplies were a little short (no coffee maker - only Nespresso) and there was a persistent sewer order in the main bathroom.

Amazing!

This villa is perfectly located! Views of the sea and the church. It's also close to the port and at the bottom of Positano so no need to do all those steps at the end of the day. Angela was very helpful with check in and all of our questions. The villa is well equipped and we loved spending time on the terrace. We would definitely stay here again.

Good location in the center of Positano, near the church, 52 steps up from the pedestrian street

Good location in the center of Positano, near the church, 52 steps up from the pedestrian street. The house was quiet, the beds comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The terrace is very nice, with a view of the church and part of the beach, but does not have a dramatic view like places higher in town. This is the trade-off for being closer to the beach. I liked being in the center of town - close to the ferry dock, buses, restaurants, shops. The representative is easy to contact by phone/text. Check-in and check-out went smoothly. Summer In Italy is a very good agency for vacation rentals in Italy. They helped me choose the property and all arrangements went smoothly. Their web site is easy to use and has a lot of good travel information. I have used them before and will use them again. Highly recommended.

We found Villa Cipriana to be quite wonderful

We found Villa Cipriana to be quite wonderful. Being Americans we are used to "big" houses so I was a little worried about how 4 of us would do in a "mere" 800 sq ft... But it was no problem at all, way more than adequate for our needs (2 adults, 2 teenage boys). The bedrooms were large, the overall upkeep and quality was excellent. More than anything though I'd say the location is ideal. It provides a wonderful view of the sea as well as Positano itself. Some might not like the imposing dome of the adjacent cathedral but I thought it was pretty cool - gave the whole area a lot of character. It was probably not even a 2 minute walk down to the beach and restaurants etc. We did some exploring through Positano and quickly realized we could have been only slightly further away as the crow flies but it would have meant quite a hike up and down a mountain of stairs had we been somewhere else.

We absolutely loved our 5 nights in Villa Cipriana

We absolutely loved our 5 nights in Villa Cipriana. The terrace is amazing to eat your meals on in the summer. We love the location and being so close to everything. It was wonderful to have air conditioning & a washing machine in the house. There were no ammenities that Villa Cipriana didn't have. We were travelling with my boyfriend's parents that were visiting us from New Zealand. It was important to them that they didn't have to climb too many stairs and they were fine with the stairs leading to Villa Cipriana. I thought Summer In Italy customer service was exceptional and really liked the chat function when we were looking for a property! We will definitely be back next year! :) Thank you for making it very easy for us to book & providing such comprehensive information for our arrival.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that Villa Cipriana was even better than we expected from the booking site. We rented 3 houses/apartments while on holiday in Italy this time. They were different and all beautiful in their own way, but Villa Cipriana was the best appointed, having thought of everything needed to create wonderful meals at home. The bedrooms and bathrooms were huge and it could not have a better location in Positano. The caretaker, Clementina, was wonderful. We only had one fault with the door during our 2 week stay and this was repaired promptly by the owner who lives nearby. We all would highly recommend a stay here to anyone visiting Positano. Booking through Summer In Italy was a breeze. Everything went really smoothly. Thank you, we will definitely recommend your company to friends.

Villa Cipriana was a beautiful villa that was in a perfect location

Villa Cipriana was a beautiful villa that was in a perfect location... It was quiet, with a beautiful view of the beach from our terrace, master bedroom and master bathroom. Angela, the owner and her family were wonderful, helpful and always welcoming! Clementina who also helped us, gave us plenty of excellent recommendations for restaurants and tours to do. We traveled with our 3 boys (ages 14, 11 and 4) and this villa was perfectly comfortable for everyone. We will definitely be back!! Summer In Italy was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you. We will definitely be using you again... Hope to get to Sicily in the near future!!!

Villa Cipriana is an excellent villa with a perfect location

Villa Cipriana is an excellent villa with a perfect location. About 65 steps down to the beach. Everything is in close proximity. On Friday and Saturday nights you may hear people shouting in early hours returning from night clubs. But this is fun. Best choice in Positano. Excellent. Will use your services again.

Villa Cipriana was better than expected

Villa Cipriana was better than expected. We loved the terrace overlooking the sea. Also, we were there in the peak tourist season and was a quiet get away even with the location so close to the beach. Melanie and Luca were fabulous with their help and response time to any questions we had. I highly recommend working with Summer in Italy.

Beautiful place and very well stocked. Everyone went out of their way to be helpful. Even carrying the baby up the steps. I had a bit of a problem as I had broken my foot the week before which made the steps a little challenging.

Villa Cipriana is beautifully and comfortably furnished

Villa Cipriana is beautifully and comfortably furnished. It's light and airy throughout the day with nice views of the sea and moorings off Positano from the terrace, living room and one bedroom. The terrace is huge with two seating areas and a ceramic topped dinning tables and chairs. It's nicely shaded overhead but there's plenty of sun for tanning. To get to the villa you will walk down a sloping pedestrian path for about 300 meters. After a short turn to the left, you climb 50 regularly spaced steps to the terrace level. The entry is 4-5 more. The beach and dock is down those steps and about 50 more. It's a great place and well located. Angela [the owner] and her family were very attentive. We would highly recommend it.

Villa Cipriana is outstanding, the owner Angela and her assistant Clementine were amazing

Villa Cipriana is outstanding, the owner Angela and her assistant Clementine were amazing. This is villa is located in the perfect spot... if you are going to Positano it is not quiet, it is humming and we loved it. The villa is equipped like home there was nothing that we needed or wanted for. Very tastefully decorated with beautiful Positano crockery. Loved the airy rooms and clean fresh linen and towels. I would give this place a 10/10. Beautiful country, beautiful people and beautiful villa. Summer in Italy was amazing, from the very beginning of booking to the end. Luca and his staff were helpful in getting me information about trains, buses and taxi. Thank you for one of the best travel sites I know and I have travelled to many countries and yours is by far the friendliest and most efficient.
