This Amalfi Coast rental villa is located in the middle of Positano, one of the loveliest and most characteristic towns on the peninsula-- so close to the water and so steep that it looks like it's about to tumble into the sea! Once a prosperous town in the 16th and 17th centuries, Positano had fallen on hard times by the 1800's; many of the inhabitants emigrated to the US, and Positano became just another "poor fishing village." It was, however, a fishing village filled with charm, and when John Steinbeck visited in the 1950's he wrote: "Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone." Others agreed, and today Positano is once again a glittering jewel of the Mediterranean. Just large enough to have "one of everything" (post office, beach, school, police station, and church), Positano is also well known for its numerous small clothing boutiques. Annually, it hosts several festivals and feasts, including the "Cartoons on the Bay Festival." Positano is also featured in the films "Only You" and "Under the Tuscan Sun." Visiting other Amalfi Coast locations is made easy by transportation via water or bus. Hydrofoils depart daily for Capri, Amalfi, Sorrento (train service to Naples), and Ischia. Blue SITA busses cost about 1-2 euros, depending on destination. Stops are marked with a blue and white SITA sign. The small internal bus (orange mini-bus) of Positano is marked by a brown FERMATA sign. Driving times are: Ravello to Amalfi, 15 minutes; Amalfi to Positano, 30 minutes; Positano to Sorrento, 35 minutes.

Overall:
I would definitely go back to this property. We just loved it!!!!
Enjoyed Most:
The house and the view was just exquisite. The house was nicer than what was displayed from the photos. I absolutely loved the porches on all three levels.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The ants were somewhat hard to control. We got it under some control with bug spray and powder.
Surrounding Area:
Just beautiful!!! Loved the whole terrain, mountains, town, beach even the steps were not that bad.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Praiano was nearest small town. You needed to take a cab or bus.
Tips or Restaurants:
All the restaurants were wonderful. Things to bring might be extra soap, washcloth, shampoo. Everything else seemed to be there. The kitchen was stocked well with kitchen items.
Directions:
Once we found the church and the opticians sign we were OK. It was a little confusing at first. Since the road is one way, you have to find it the first time. We came in by taxi and found it a little difficult to pull off and get out with our luggage.
Check In Out:
Very easy check in and check out. Lucrezia was very accommodating.

Overall:
This is a very special property. Incredibly located, great views, in a great town. I'd highly recommend this unit to anyone.
Enjoyed Most:
This property could be described better in your verbiage. The property is directly above the water and above the ferry passenger arrival point. Great view of everything and great activity. The best point about this property is that it faces west and south. Consequently the hot summer sun does not drench this property until 10:00pm at night. Consequently this property is nice and cool in the afternoon and evenings. The properties on the other side of the hill-valley in Positano are incredibly hot. This is a real plus for this property
Unpleasant Surprises:
There were ants in the small bedroom downstairs, and we used a full can of bug spray to get rid of them. Oh, the good news, the ants don't bite.
Check In Out:
The lady that met us was perfect. flexible, delightful and cooperative. check out was effortless. a real pleasure

Overall:
Property was really nice, and Lucrezia was very accommodating.
Enjoyed Most:
The view was outstanding and the amount of space was perfect! Location was also excellent.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Everything was great...liked everything. They did not explain all the amenities so we didn't know there was things available to us in the villa - such as the intercom system for the door, so that you didn't have to climb the stairs to let people in - and the mosquito plug-in devices which we didn't know about until the last day. They should include electricity in the rates. The hot water is not included, so that adds up. The hot water is electric. Also more towels would have been nice.
Surrounding Area:
Views everywhere and you could get around very easily.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Montepertusso was up above us. You could not walk, but a bus was easy to take.
Tips or Restaurants:
Da vincenzo was a great restaurant and so was cafe Positano. If you are willing to spend money, one night for dinner at San Pietro which is around the bend from Positano going toward Amalfi was stupendous! Food and view are outstanding.
Buco di Bacca was great for night life and meeting all the locals!
