Can’t wait to return!
Positano was magical! The view from the living room and terrace was amazing. It was wonderful having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for my family. The apartment was just as we expected, very clean. The host had snacks and drinks for us, which was very nice. Gaetano met us when we arrived and showed us everything. He also booked cars for us to and from the Naples train station, which was helpful. We went during mid-March, before the busy season. Almost everything was open, but it was not crowded at all. We didn’t have to make reservations at any restaurants. I definitely recommend visiting at that time of year. I heard it gets horribly crowded in the summer. We took a boat ride tour to Capri, which was the highlight of the trip. Get ready for lots and lots of stairs! I wouldn’t bring little kids. My kids are 13 and that was perfect. The town is perfect for exploring. Not everything is listed on google maps. Some things you just need to find. I can’t wait to go back!! It would be perfect for a girls trip- so much shopping!!

Positano Paradise
Our stay in Positano was spectacular. The location, the ease of entry, the cleanliness and the lodging itself were everything the website said it would be. The view of the town and the water was just gorgeous! The restaurants and shops were all within east walking distance, and would ABSOLUTELY STAY WITH GAETANO AGAIN.

The apartment was on the main thoroughfare, but far enough away from the center of town to be very relaxing. There were many great restaurants nearby and the view of the ocean was magnificent!

Perfect Positano
Gaetano was fantastic. This location is perfect for the Amalfi coast with great access from the street and not too high to make walking too difficult. Incredible views. Also Gaetano arranged transfers and tours via Positano Tourismo. Noemi made it all easy and far less than Viator. We strongly recommend this property. We will be back.

Amazing host and property
Gaetano was very welcoming for my wife and my parents (who stayed here). His place is extremely roomy, compared to other homes in Positano. A big kitchen that you can cook in if you want. Two big bedrooms with very nice bathrooms. He has kept his house very up to date. The view from the large patio is breathtaking. Thank you for allowing our family to stay here for our wedding time! I would suggest this VRBO to anyone staying here. And it’s very close to everything.

Amazing Stay
What a beautiful property. Gaetano was so very helpful with any questions we had. He suggested places to dine, even made a reservation for us. He helped make reservations for car tours and transportation to the train station in Naples. We really enjoyed just sitting on the terrace, having dinner and sipping wine. It was so relaxing. A stark contrast the the following week in a very HOT and busy Rome. Whiles temps were not too hot, it was great to have a/c. Much appreciated after hours of walking and exploring. We really enjoyed our time here. We hope to be able to come back to visit again. Thank you Gaetano for sharing your home with us. The Fry/Viscusi Family

Magical place in Positano
We had a fabulous time staying at this cute apartment. Gaetano thought of everything, from the heated towels to the espresso machine ---we loved it!! The balcony is a wonderful space and the view just took my breath away. There were 3 adults and one 5 year old and there was plenty of space for all of us. You can walk to the beach. We would love to return to this exact apartment. Thanks so much!

Loved It
Gaetano was the perfect host. He greeted us at his apartment and explained where everything was. He told us about a wonderful little market steps away where we could pick up pre-made delicious dinners which we did twice. Why go to a restaurant when you can eat great food and enjoy the views from the patio of the apartment. We spent most of the time sitting out there. Nice location. Easy walk down to the beach and boat docks or up to a trail that climbs the hill behind Positano. Apartment was very clean with plenty of room.

Overall lovely stay!
My husband and I stayed in positano for two days on our honeymoon. This place was wonderful for our stay. It would be about a 15 min walk down to the beach/ city center which was great for us. If you have mobile issues, I would suggest a taxi or somewhere closer to downtown city center. The apartment was nice and big and the rooms are at the back of the apartment so we never heard vehicles from the street which was great for a good night sleep. The owner helped us get from Naples by connecting us with a private car to and from the airport which made our arrival and departure very easy. Overall it was lovely. We will be back!

Location, location, location
This 2 br apartment is in a fabulous location. Right on the Positano Interno bus route and a short walk from the SITA bus stop servicing other parts of the Amalfi Coast. Apartment itself is fairly basic but has all you need if you are out exploring for most of the time. Nice terrace with ocean views. A couple of things to note about this apartment; both bedrooms are internal ie no outside windows. There is air-con in both bedrooms, but some may find this an issue. There is nowhere to eat indoors if weather is bad. There is a small table but nowhere to put it really to sit comfortably. The apartment is on the first floor of 3, so everyone who is staying upstairs passes by the terrace on the way to their apartments, so privacy is a bit of an issue. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay here and the host was fantastic in explaining the layout of Positano to us and advising us on bus routes, restaurants etc.

Nice property.
We really enjoyed our one-week stay at this property. It was very clean and we enjoyed spending time on the terrace. Gaetano is a great host and was available to answer questions and provide recommendations. The only reason I did not give this property five stars is because the it could use a bit of an update, including better sheets and a new coffee pot.

Dear Julie , There are 3 different coffee machine as, Italian family coffe machine, American coffee machine with filter and expresso coffee machine with free coffee and cappuccino pods. We change the American coffee machine every year. I'm sorry you did not like our sheets, we wash and iron them in our house, my wife checks the cotton quality of the sheets, so they're not washed in a industrial laundry and they're not a double and rough cotton. I see that someone does not appreciate all this. Thank you Gaetano

Beautiful views but beware the stairs
This condo was very roomy for 2 couples, comfortable size rooms (beds very hard), good AC in bedrooms, and bathrooms are very nice! Walked to lovely restaurants close by and grocery store just up the stairs. Beach is either 500 of so steps up or down or take the city bus around Positano! Boat ferries are very convenient for day trips to the other surrounding towns! Gaetano was easy to work with and would suggest instructions in English for appliances for those of us who struggled with them for a bit haha. It was nice having washing machine and hanging clothes out to dry. It was a lovely location and wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful property in a beautiful location!
My husband and I and two adult daughters stayed here very comfortably. The apartment was extremely clean with plenty of room, many amenities, and gorgeous view. It was nice to sit outside on the porch in the mornings and at night. Gaetano was very responsive before and throughout our stay, and helped us with transportation, booking winery tours and restaurants, and any other questions we had. Positano and surrounding towns are beautiful, and people very friendly and helpful. Capri is well worth visiting. Plenty of steps and walking around Positano, but that offsets the calories in the delicious food and wines! We would definitely stay here again!

My daughter and I loved staying in the apartment. For those of you that know Positano, you know that parking is a challenge...but we were off season and really had very little issue. Gaetano is friendly and had a great suggestion for nearby restaurants. The apartment has great showers, good central heating and is quiet. Perfect really for a few days.

A beautiful place, and a wonderful host!
Everything about our stay was great. Gaetano was very helpful about the town, the things to do, and was always available, as well. The apartment was spotless, and very quiet, and the view from the terrace was beautiful. Be sure to let him know, though, if you would like one of the beds separated into twins. We didn't tell him we needed that in advance, but he graciously got his cleaning person to come out (at night!) and change the beds for us. It helps to be in good shape, as the town in practically vertical, and there are MANY steps!! Also, if you have a car, the parking fees are quite high. Highly recommend! Thanks, Gaetano!!!

Perfect!
The apartment is lovely! We especially loved the outdoor room with great view. We had breakfast there every morning. Location is great, we spent a day exploring Positano and the beach and took a boat to Amalfi. Many ferries depart from the big beach in town. Buses serve the entire coast and are convenient. Gaetano is charming and very helpful. The apartment was great, with 2 bedrooms/bathrooms, living room, kitchen. Restaurants and shops were just a few steps down the street. Would definitely recommend!

We will miss our Italian expresso coffee every morning that came with the property and the stunning view over positano which just took our breath away.

Amazing Positano location with a beautiful view
We really loved our stay in this villa. It has a great location that we found to be in a quieter area of Positano, while also being close to many great restaurants, shopping, and the beach (with some stairs of course). Gaetano was really a wonderful host and was really patient about giving us information for touring and helping to set things up. I recommend waiting to get his help with local tours and excursions. Highly recommended!
