From when we arrived the communication and luggage assistance was excellent

From when we arrived the communication and luggage assistance was excellent. The house itself was PRIVATE and quiet!! We spent every night on the top terrace eating home cooked meals and listening to the quiet streets of Positano. This is the place to stay if you want to be close enough to the centre but far enough for some peace. The beach only 6 min walk away and is super quiet there too unlike the centre beaches. LOVE. Thank you

Villa Greta was excellent

Villa Greta was excellent. It was in a great spot and had everything we needed. The view was spectacular and was great to have a car space. The manager of the property was very helpful and looked after us. We enjoyed our stay and if we come back again would definitely book Villa Greta again as it was perfect. Can't really think of anything to make the villa any better to us, it was all good. Had good service from Summer In Italy, replied very quickly to emails.

We had a really lovely time at Villa Greta

We had a really lovely time at Villa Greta. It was perfect for the two of us. The villa itself is lovely - just like the photos and very clean. The terraces blew us away - the flowers, the lemons, the view - all so breathtaking. Everything is kept up beautifully. Wi-Fi, which was the most important to us, was not working when we arrived. One call to the owner and the staff came over immediately to fix it. They were absolutely fantastic! Met our every need. The road noise did not bother us, being from NYC. The location was very convenient - with 2 groceries nearby, the bus stop right across the street, and an easy walk into town, and a fantastic restaurant just down the road. We would definitely come back. Summer In Italy was great. Thank you all for all your help. I kept asking questions and everyone was so pleasant and helpful. I felt very comfortable traveling with your company. Would use your service again.

Villa Greta is a beautiful property with spectacular views

Villa Greta is a beautiful property with spectacular views! The sun terrace and gardens are gorgeous. My husband and I truly enjoyed our 5 night stay! I would go back in a heartbeat! Free parking was a bonus and the AC worked extremely well! Only note the shower was sometimes lacking hot water and water pressure; however, my husband and I were aware of this from previous reviews. The hosts were very helpful in every way. Summer In Italy was wonderful in answering all of my many questions prior to arrival etc. Thank you for all your help!

We absolutely loved Villa Greta

We absolutely loved Villa Greta. Although on the busy road I would still say that it provided a tranquil atmosphere as we were transfixed by the beautiful surroundings. The terraces of this property are spectacular and we even had the company of the friendliest cat in Italy! The only downside I would say is the bathroom which requires updating and the water pressure makes the shower pretty much useless, we got by and it certainly didn't spoil our holiday but had this been better then this villa would be perfection! I was very happy with Summer In Italy services, very helpful and friendly.

Villa Greta was great

Villa Greta was great. Even though close to main road we were not bothered by noise. A bonus was watching the Giro d'Italia drive right past front door. On the downside the water pressure in bathroom shower is not good. Kitchen needs a teapot.

Villa Greta was a beautiful experience

Villa Greta was a beautiful experience!!! It was a dream, everything anyone needs to experience in Positano. It was exactly what we were looking for in Italy. A place we will never forget!! We decided to book with Summer in Italy because Melanie helped us choose the right villa for us. We told her exactly what we were looking for and Villa Greta was the place. I will recommend Summer In Italy to anyone who is looking for a property to rent in Italy. GRAZIE MILLE!!!

We spent 12 glorious nights at Villa Greta and just adored it

We spent 12 glorious nights at Villa Greta and just adored it. The position being just a short walk from Positano with the shops and restaurants. The bus stop right on the doorstep either going to Sorrento or the other direction to Amalfi etc. meant either way we were lucky enough to find seats instantly or the next stop as the buses do get rather crowded. The villa was perfect, with the most amazing views, very high standard of cleanliness, all the modern appliances etc. with an excellent wifi connection and just perfect. Thank you very much to everyone who assisted us before, during and on our departure. We had an amazing holiday and hope to come back next year. Thank you Summer in Italy you provide an 100% perfect service.

Thank you soo much

Thank you soo much. We had an absolutely fantastic time in this perfect love nest with a perfect location and very friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. We would love to come back to Villa Greta. The lemon cake which we received as a welcome gift was really delicious. So nice of you we didn't expect that. The heating worked well and the WIFI was a brilliant plus. We also were glad to have the parking. Everything was in walking distance so that we easily just could leave the car parked in front of the house. It was one of the best houses I have stayed so far. Mille Grazie xxoo. Thank you as well to the Summer in Italy Team. You have been absolutely helpful and attentive. There is nothing to criticize about. You provided us with all the information which is needed for the stay in Positano. Very good service. Molto bene!!!

This was our first experience renting a villa and I would rent Villa Greta again in a heart beat

This was our first experience renting a villa and I would rent Villa Greta again in a heart beat. The villa has all the amenities Americans are used to: wi-fi, washer, dryer, dish washer, large refrigerator (Italian large), microwave, 1 1/2 baths (half bath in laundry room) and a wonderfully equipped kitchen. The house is small but perfect for 2 people. It is clean, nicely maintained and charming. There were only 20 steps up to the front door versus the uncountable steps of other villas near us. It had a wonderful, although small, patio just outside the front door where we often ate lunch. All views from the patios (3 of them) and windows were fantastic views of the water. We watched the fishing boats and cruise ships come to shore all day long and saw the lights on the water at night. Beautiful. The walk to town was about a mile. Everybody walks, so although there is no sidewalk and you're walking very near, and sometimes in the street, cars are expecting people walking so it never felt dangerous. Italian neighbours began greeting us on our daily walks into town! The experience was like living someone else's life for a week. Wonderful! We were welcomed by the owner's staff, shown the villa by them and we often asked them about bus schedules, a porter for luggage to the pier etc. They were always very pleasant and very helpful. We couldn't have been happier with how attentive the staff was to our needs. We thought Summer In Italy were great... with a wonderful sense of humor too! Loved your information, very helpful and through. We also found it comforting to know that you were only a phone call away should something not be right. We booked with you because you had so many more listings available for the area than other places and also YOU WERE THERE and not in California!! We would highly recommend you and have. Thank you! We think you're wonderful!

Villa Greta was really good value for money

Villa Greta was really good value for money. Don't let the location onside of road put you off as the traffic is light and slow and actually makes for interesting viewing when having breakfast can watch the walkers! The bathroom is and decor bit dated but serviceable. The terrace has sun all day. The beach is 350 steps but makes for good exercise. We enjoyed the walk into town. I would recommend as really cheap way of staying in Positano .

Villa Greta is large, not far from Positano center and from the beach

Villa Greta is large, not far from Positano center and from the beach -- although many steps :-). The living room and the bedrooms are excellent. From the terrace you get a magnificent view on the sea. However, it takes some time to sleep well due to the traffic (especially noisy bikes), because the villa is only 10 meters above the main street and the locals probably do not walk. Nevertheless, they are nice.

I stayed at Villa Greta in June 2012 for 2 weeks

I stayed at Villa Greta in June 2012 for 2 weeks. It is a beautiful villa and does look just like the photos. It has the most magnificent view of the ocean and of Positano. Absolutely perfect to experience while having morning coffee or afternoon drinks! Security was very good with private parking (a rarity). The bed was extremely comfortable, kitchen very well equipped. It was an extremely serene experience. My only concern was the noise from the main road, particularly from the motorbikes and buses (that toot their horns as they turn the nearby corner). Luca at Summer In Italy provided a fantastic service, very responsive and proactive.
