Very good and well-equipped house with outdoor and very nice space. Wonderful view. Annamaria , very friendly and asks, gave us tips of where to visit, we went to Amalfi and Sorrento, the locations are approximately 30km from Agerola, but if you don't know , the roads are quite winding so set aside an hour for each trip.

A great place in the center of Napoli, near to the central station and all kinds of restaurants. You can walk around to have a general taste of this busy and beautiful city. Paolo is hospitable and always there to answer your questions. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to take a trip to Napoli.

There are not enough words to describe how beautiful Pierluigi's place is....the pictures do not do it justice! This was our last stop in our tour through Italy, and we absolutely fell in love with the home, the terraces, the town itself...all of it! We definitely would love to come back and stay more than 4 nights next time. Peirluigi made everything so easy, from booking private transfers, a chef to come to the house and prepare a special birthday dinner for us, to our private boat tour to explore Capri ....he went above and beyond and took care if it all to make it as stress-free as possible. I still can't get over the views from those terraces, those were some of thr most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen!!

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 122 reviewsSun Holiday House
Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Lucia’s place! Lots of cafes/pizzerias and super markets located on the same street (our favorite place for breakfast was Pasticceria Avitabile Gelateria). Great location if you want to explore the Amalfi Coast-about an hour to Positano, 35 minutes to Amalfi (depending on the traffic), 50 minutes to Pompeii. The place was clean and had great view of the ocean from the terrace.

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 160 reviewsapartment with luxury terrace panoramic Vesuvius
We absolutely loved our stay at Annamaria’s home. The location was fantastic, so close to everything we wanted to see. Annamaria is a wonderful host. She is extremely responsive and was so helpful in arranging taxis for us. When we would message her, she got back to us immediately. We loved her apartment in Naples and would definitely stay there again.
Condo in Vico Equense
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 108 reviewsLovely 2 bedroom beach apartment on Sorrento Coast
We had a great stay here, we chilled out utilising the lovely large balcony and successfully explored Sorrento and Pompeii from here. The apartment is right on a beach but is about a 20 minute steep walk into the town, this wasn't an issue for us and the main restaurants, train station and everything you need is at the top of the path. Our stay was made 5 stars by the help we received from Alfonso and the property owner. We stayed here for five days as part of a 3 month trip around Europe and Italy, and while here our brake pads warning light came on our van. We had tried phoning numerous places and were struggling with the translation until I asked Alfonso for help, who went on to ask the property owner for a recommendation. She not only recommended a local garage but let us follow her there and gave us a lift back up to collect the van when it was done. This was so kind and stopped a lot of van stress for us!
Condo in Sorrento
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 115 reviewsCozy Sorrento Apartment
This apartment is amazing! The location is perfect for exploring Sorrento. It is located just outside of the tourist area, so there are many local places nearby. Ikura Sushi and Benvenuti in Casa were top picks for us! The views from the dining area and the terrace were spectacular. We even saw fireworks one night! Graziano greeted us at the apartment and was very helpful. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stock and even without an oven we were able to reheat our pizza on the stove top. If we return to Sorrento, we will definitely stay with Graziano again!
Condo in Torre del Greco
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 105 reviewsWonderful apartment SOLEMARE - 20mt from the sea!
It was an absolutely great experience to stay at Mr.Pio’s apartment: • Check-in – the host kindly assisted with the arrangement of a transfer from the airport to the apartment and the way back. Our plane arrived early in the morning and we could take the apartment immediately – meaning the host was flexible for an early check-in. This was a great convenience for us! • Apartment view – there were 2 spacious balconies – both with breathtaking views. One of them overlooked the sea, while the other the Mount Vesuvius. We spent a great deal of time here, enjoying the view & sipping our coffee. All rooms had large windows, all of them were really bright accordingly. • Communication – our host was extremely helpful and caring. We experienced the same with the Italians we met during our stay – though not everyone spoke English, they were really driven to help us out, provide us directions. • Overall – it was the best AirBnb experience I had so far. I’m definitely planning to come back!
Condo in Amalfi
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 54 reviewsPorta della Marina - Amalfi center with sea view
Daniela met us at the Piazza and walked us to the AirBnb while showing us around the area. She recommended some amazing restaurants and bakeries and suggestions on using public transport. She was very responsive and helpful. The apartment was at the perfect location close to the Piazza with not too many steps . Even though the streets are busy, you don't hear the noise inside.
Condo in Meta
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 178 reviewsBlue sea apartment
You HAVE to stay here! The apartment is absolutely beautiful, and the terrace view is gorgeous. Candida was unavailable at the time, but she was communicative and her friend Maria checked us in. She was very responsive, kind and helpful. She gave us a full tour and she provided tons of local recommendations. We would definitely stay here again! (There’s also an elevator so you do not have to travel up all the flights of stairs with your luggage, but there are steps to get all the way down to the beach so be ready for a walk!)
Condo in Sorrento

Absolutely stunning property with amazing views! Recommend this place to anyone staying on the Amalfi coast. It’s right in between Amalfi and Positano, so a wonderful place to come back to after exploring during the day. A Fjord beach very close to admire the views or have a swim. Denise and her husband are very friendly and helpful with any questions you may have. Definitely a win if you get an opportunity to stay here!

Rental unit in Poggiomarino

We enjoyed the place very much! We were very happy that we were able to park on the premises. The supermarket is right nearby and you can get to the different places in 0.30-1h. It is always important to have a lot of change for the tolls if you arrive by car. We were very satisfied - thank you Antonio for the place :)

Condo in Marina Grande
5 out of 5 average rating, 72 reviewsIL GABBIANO CAPRI APARTMENT
This place is incredible! Very nicely redone apartment right near the port. Took about 5 minutes to walk to the apartment after getting off the ferry. I took my grandfather to Italy for his birthday and Carlo made us feel extremely welcome! He knows a lot of people on the island and can help you with any and all your requests. We ate breakfast at the bar he owns every morning and he offered many tips to help plan our day! On the morning of my grandfathers birthday he even came out and had the whole restaurant sing tanti auguri(happy bday) to him. It was great and my grandfather was very touched! Although there isn’t a common area in the home there is a great gathering space outside with a great view and kitchenette out there as well. This didn’t bother us because you’re on Capri you don’t need to be inside!! Would highly recommend this place to anyone coming to the island! Very easy to get around from this apartment. Thank you so much Carlo!!

Your guide to Positano
All About Positano
Nestled on southern Italy’s Amalfi Coast, Positano is a dreamy, vertical seaside town that boasts stunning pastel-colored villas perched on the faces of the cliff sides along the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The intense aroma of Positano lemons, a treasure of the Amalfi Coast, perfumes the air of this seaside village. You can taste these famous lemons infused in local desserts, salads, fish, and liqueurs, including limoncello, Positano’s favorite digestif.
From local art and crafts to custom-made leather sandals, hand-embroidered silk dresses, and ceramics adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, Positano offers an exciting shopping experience that highlights local talent, artistry, and tradition. For a midday refresher, enjoy an afternoon aperitivo, a beloved cultural ritual consisting of a pre-meal drink, at one of the many spots throughout the village. Catch spectacular views of the sunset as shades of pink, orange, and red softly illuminate the cliffside town. In the evenings, you can explore Positano’s restaurants or head to a cozy espresso bar.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Positano
The best time to stay in a condo rental in Positano is during the spring and early summer months when temperatures are pleasant enough to take a refreshing dip in the sea. In the spring, vibrant bougainvillea flowers in various shades of pink and purple bloom, adorning streets and terraces around the town. During the fall and winter months, Positano is much quieter in comparison to the bustling spring and summer seasons. Temperatures usually dip during this time, and you can expect frequent rainy days. During the winter be warned that many shops, and restaurants close and reopen in the spring.
Top things to do in Positano
The Church of Santa Maria Assunta
In Positano’s town center, a few steps away from Marina Grande Beach, you’ll find The Church of Santa Maria Assunta, an important part of the city’s cultural and architectural landscape. The Church’s majolica-tiled dome, dazzling in shades of green, blue, and yellow, is one of Positano’s most iconic and beloved symbols. Set against the backdrop of the glittering sea, the magnificent church can be seen from various streets and spots throughout Positano and makes for magnificent photo opportunities.
Montepertuso
Just north of Positano is Montepertuso, another Amalfi Coast town, which is easily reached by car, bus, or foot. If you decide to walk over, expect to see spectacular views of Positano and the Tyrrhenian Sea. In Montepertuso there is a short hike leading you to the towering mountains above the town containing a unique geological formation, a massive hole in the stone face. Though the trail includes many stairs and a steep upward climb, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of the sea and surrounding landscape.
Spiaggia Grande
Spend the day on the black sandy beach of Spiaggia Grande. There is a small section of the beach reserved for public use, where you can lay out or play in the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Cocooned in the seaside cliffs overlooking the water, Spiaggia Grande provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape and the colorful cliffside village.
