Perched high above the town of Positano, this comfortable Amalfi Coast rental apartment is located in a beautiful family villa, which has been divided into six vacation rentals. Owned and managed by a warm and welcoming family, who also live in a part of the villa, each Amalfi Coast accommodation has its own character. What they all share, however, is a large communal terrace above and easy access into the center of Positano. Close by are bus stops for other destinations along the Amalfi Coast, making this accommodation a wonderful choice for two couples or a family, or even a large group of friends or family. Several weddings have been celebrated at this property, utilizing the large common terrace on one of the top levels.

Overall:
Lovely spot.
Enjoyed Most:
The view was spectacular. It was amazing to sit on the deck each morning and evening and see Positano and the sea. We thought we were looking at a post card, but it was our view.
Unpleasant Surprises:
You need to be prepared for the steps--there are 94 of them!
Surrounding Area:
The Amalfi coast is simply spectacular. A wonderful place to see and experience. Pompeii is a day trip, so you can combine beauty and history.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Positano is the town--everything is within walking distance....all are steps away!
Tips or Restaurants:
Learn how to navigate the local bus in Positano--it runs every half-hour and the bus stop is just down the road. The kitchen is not well equipped with normal condiments, i.e., salt, pepper, etc. If you plan to cook, there is a grocery store in the neighborhood and you can buy everything you need there. But remember that there are steps to climb with your packages in hand.

Overall:
I would go back again. This time not in the off season - March - because some of the restaurants and hotels were closed.
Enjoyed Most:
The owners were very gracious and helpful. The property was located in an excellent area with a beautiful view of the town and Mediterranean. The property was well laid out, clean, and had everything we needed.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Dining room chairs were uncomfortable as were the patio furniture. Oh, and I almost forgot, the 90 stairs to the apartment!
Surrounding Area:
The towns and the people were beautiful and friendly.
Tips or Restaurants:
Three restaurants: Cosintinos - the owner made us feel most welcome delicious soup one night, Chez Black - on the beach, and Max's - two of the best meals anywhere outstanding homemade pastas.
Check In Out:
Owners were very accommodating.

Enjoyed Most:
This property is very clean, very spacious. Positano is magical, and you can definitely enjoy that from this property. The view is stunning. The property is so beautiful with all of it's plants and flowers. You could spend hours just sitting on the patio, enjoying everything around you. Property owners were very welcoming, very kind. They brought us cake on the first day, a bottle of wine on another day. They will arrange for cars to take you to various restaurants. We would definitely come back to this property.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The only bad thing I can say is that we had some trouble with the air-conditioning. We were in Italy during a heat wave, and Italian air-conditioning seems to be different than American air-conditioning! That being said, we were comfortable at night, and the air-conditioning issue did force us to just relax during the hottest part of the day, which we quickly fell into doing. Other than that, everything else was minor.
Surrounding Area:
Positano is really an unbelievable place. We didn't really travel too much to other towns - too many kids with us, but we very much enjoyed Positano. We rented boats, enjoyed the beach, shopped, etc.
Tips or Restaurants:
I really thought the steps would be no big deal...they are! We were in decent shape before we came, but now are in better shape. But anyone with any physical difficulties should reconsider Positano altogether. We had guests one day, and one older guest did okay going down to the beach, but I'm not sure how she would have done for a week. But, for those who are in ok shape, go to Positano...you'll love it! And bring a sense of humor. This is our second trip to Italy, and you definitely need one. You need to be able to laugh when the bathroom door handle falls off, and you are locked inside! It's just part of the adventure.
