Perched high above the town of Positano, with magnificent views of the town and the sea from its large private terrace, this top level apartment rental on the Amalfi Coast 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 vacation apartment has its own character. What they all share, however, is the magnificent view and easy access into the center of Positano. Close by this apartment in Positano are bus stops for other destinations along the Amalfi Coast, making this accommodation a wonderful choice for a honeymoon or romantic hideaway for a couple. Several weddings have been celebrated at this property, utilizing the large common terrace on one of the top levels.

Overall:
Good physical condition is a must for anyone staying at this property. There are many steep steps to climb. There is a grocery store across the street from the property, which is handy.
Enjoyed Most:
The views. The gardens. The friendly people.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The bathroom location and lack of an enclosed shower. The entire bathroom gets wet. There are not enough towels and the only way to dry them after washing is to hang them on an outdoor line. We were unable to use the outdoor pool because the water temperature was too cold. We were there in October.
Surrounding Area:
Visiting other towns via boat walking and climbing the town's steps.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Towns are most easily accessed by boat or bus.
Tips or Restaurants:
Bring bath soap! This apartment had a hairdryer. We enjoyed eating at Chez Black on the beach, Palazzo Murat, and especially, Bruno's. Be sure to eat outside on the sidewalk overlooking the bay. We do not recommend Constantino's, even though a complimentary van will pick you up. It was far too Americanized food and atmosphere for our tastes.
Check In Out:
Porters were available to help carry luggage up and down the steps. This was very, very helpful.

Overall:
The property, view and owners exceeded our expectations. It was simply lovely!
Enjoyed Most:
The view and the property owner. Both were superb!
Unpleasant Surprises:
The 164 steps to the room and that the bathroom that was separate from the villa. It was a bit chilly when it rained at night walking back and forth to the bathroom during the evening. (Editor's note: This is being fixed)
Surrounding Area:
Easy access to neighboring towns and islands.
Nearby Events or Locales:
You could rent a boat from Positano or take the bus. Both are very easy, convenient and affordable.
Tips or Restaurants:
You don't need to bring a thing. EVERYTHING that we needed was provided in the villa. There was even a little shop directly across the street from the villa that carried fruit, bread, meat, cheese, wine and drinks as well as general supplies. I must say that the restaurants in town were a bit disappointing. Many of them were overpriced and the food was mediocre.
Directions:
We ended up hiring a driver thanks to the help of our travel advisor. The driver was a gem. We liked him so much we hired him again on the return drive to the airport. We also learned you can take the ferry directly from Positano to Naples and then hire a taxi to the airport which is about a 20 minute drive. We prefer using a driver because it was so convenient. Please note that the buses and ferries did arrive and depart on time ALL the time. This was a surprise because we were warned that they were unreliable. Perhaps this had something to do with traveling during October and not at the peak of the travel season.

Overall:
I would recommend this property to anyone. The family who owns it make your stay truly enjoyable. We cannot wait to go back!!!
Enjoyed Most:
We liked the view over the beach town of Positano. We also liked the seclusion and spaciousness of the property.
Unpleasant Surprises:
I guess all of the stairs - there were about 500 to our villa from the beach and restaurants but it was also part of the charm. There really wasn't anything bad about the property.
Surrounding Area:
That we could go to the local grocery and get food to make meals at the villa and relax when we wanted to.
Nearby Events or Locales:
The villa was in Positano and it was within a 10 minute walk to everything.
Tips or Restaurants:
Ristorante Max was a wonderful place to go for dinner. Moderately priced for the area - but great pasta and seafood and tiramisu. On another note, I would bring comfortable walking shoes and sandals because it is the "City of Stairs" and having my Tevas saved my life.
