Beautiful Beach Apartment.
This place is located right in the middle of Positano. Close to everything. Very helpful and responsive host. Nicely furnished and spacious inside. Great balcony. We stayed for our honeymoon and loved it!

Casa Fior di Lino
Extremely clean and beautiful apartment. Very responsive host. The view was spectacular and the patio was very large and spacious. It’s very good for younger people that like to do a lot of walking and hiking. It’s very difficult to get in town especially when you have only a couple of days to explore the city. I had my mom and aunt with me and I would have preferred a hotel by the center of town. We spent a lot of money for taxi . Other than that the place and the host are wonderful and match the description on the listing .

il Porto Capri holiday home
Most beautiful view of the harbor! The apartment is clean and nice. Highly recommended!

In Villam temporary house
A perfect place to stay to explore Pompeii, Sorrento and Amalfi coast. Adriana was the most welcoming, friendly and nicest hosts we have ever met! It honestly felt like nothing was too much for her! Even before we arrived she helped us with tips on the local train times, places to visit, where to park for attractions etc. Adriana kindly gave us a lift to the local station (Pioppaino) so we could enjoy a day out in Sorrento. The air b and b is immaculate, so well equipped with everything you need. The outside space and pool are also amazing, the perfect place to relax in the day and evening. The location is great as it’s close to the Pompeii site, and also easy to explore the surrounding areas such as Sorrento and Amalfi Coast. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone thinking of staying in this area! Thank you so much for an amazing stay, we hope to be back!😊

Rental House I Gelsomini
Chiara was extremely helpful and told us about the football match happening when we arrived. The place is conveniently located for hiking the path of the Gods trail.

Guest House in South Italy Airbnb
Great value and the hosts were very knowledgeable about the area and also helpful with suggestions

Castellano Holiday house
apologies once again for the late check in, my miscalculation ( flight delay, delay at car rental, delays due to football celebration at the city centre of Naples) all together added up and we reached the house at 2:30 am. All this while Annamaria communicated proactively with us helping us with local information. She and her daughter stayed awake and guided us to the property. I really appreciate their out of the way help. Other than that the house was in a very picturesque location. it's walkable to the bus stop, mini market and restaurants. I really recommend people visiting Amalfi from pianillo to take the bus instead of rental car as it's very difficult to find a parking place in Amalfi.

Spectacular Penthouse with view Vesuvius ,Naples
Annamaria’s place was GREAT! We only stayed a couple days but because of the prime location we were able to see and do so many things. It should be noted that we stayed during the final Napoli football game of the season, which they won! Forza Napoli!! It was a chaotic, electric, and noisy time to be in the city but Annamaria’s place always felt safe and we still managed to get a decent night of sleep which the party raged on outside. Also of note, Annamaria was a really great help when we struggled a bit it figure out how to work the clothes washing machine. Her responses were prompt and clear. Annamaria went above and beyond :)

Sun-Kissed 2-Bed Beach Apartment near Sorrento
I stayed here with my partner and two children (9 and 13). Bianca and Alfonso were brilliant - always happy to help. The apartment was very comfortable, we had everything we needed, I particularly enjoyed sitting out on the balcony with my morning coffee (a real bonus as it was April). As mentioned there is a walk up the hill into town. From the apartment door to the station this took 15-20 mins, we had to walk up the road though as the path behind the apartment was temporarily closed - that would have been quicker. It is such a beautiful location though, with stunning views over to Vesuvius all the way, that we never minded the walk. This was a great base for visiting Pompeii, Naples, Herculaneum and Vesuvius. The local train does get busy but is easy enough to use otherwise. We were glad we booked the airport bus to and from the airport with our luggage! There are plenty of shops and restaurants in town - Alfonso gave us some recommendations which I appreciated. I would recommend.

Cozy Sorrento Apartment
We had a great time here, the apt was very clean and had great views of the trees. The area is very walkable and close to the tourist shopping area, felt very safe. The apt seems like there are locals that live there so it’s more of a real experience rather than touristy which we liked. Graziano was very nice and helpful.

Wonderful apartment SOLEMARE - 20mt from the sea!
We had a nice stay with the family. Communication with our host has always been good, cordial and very responsive in case of any issues or questions. The apartment is well located on the coast with magnificent views of the sea and the Bay of Naples (from the balcony and children's room side) and Mount Vesuvius (from the living room side). The apartment is large, bright, well maintained and fairly well-equipped. The nearby beach is nice. There are shops nearby. The only annoying point was the difficulty finding parking for our car on weekend nights (Friday to Sunday). If you come by car, it is probably wise to use the parking offered by the host.

NapoliStayIn Central Flat in Naples
Excellent location and a very comfortable and well equipped place to stay. Livio was a responsive host and dealt quickly with an electrics issue.

Blue sea apartment
We had very pleased stay. Beautiful and strategic location. Easy access to public transportation to go to Sorrento. The host was great and helpful.

EntireApartment SpaccaNapoli
an excellent stay, definitely would recommend

12th floor napoli
We only stayed one night here after getting off the ferry from Sorrento. Close to the ferry port—15 minute walk. About a 20 minute car ride to the airport. The host made it really easy to find the apartment. Gave lots of local recommendations and was always responsive. Electrical outlets on both sides of the bed.

Villa Fuenti Bay Amalfi Coast jacuzzi chef tour
We had the absolute best time at this Airbnb on the Amalfi Coast—it was the perfect way to relax after my sister’s wedding. The property was stunning, peaceful, and felt like a true escape, but what made it exceptional was Jason. He went above and beyond in every way: so kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our trip perfect. He cooked us the most incredible dinner—truly the best meal we had on our vacation—and even hosted a group larger than those staying at the Airbnb with such generosity. We also used his transportation services, and he drove us AND picked us up from Amalfi for our excursions we had planned, making everything seamless and stress-free. Jason made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. His warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail made this stay unforgettable. We’re so grateful for everything he did and cannot recommend this place—and Jason—highly enough. Truly a dream experience!

Villa Capo D'Arco Modern Spacious Villa by the Sea
We absolutely loved our stay in Massa Lubrense! The location was perfect—peaceful, scenic, and just close enough to explore Capri and the Amalfi Coast while still enjoying the charm of a quiet coastal village. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, with stunning views, and fragrant lemon trees. Our host was incredibly hospitable and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Antonio went above and beyond with thoughtful touches and helpful recommendations that made our trip even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Positano & Capri Seaview garden | WiFi AC
Amazing views from the bedrooms and wonderful yard to sit comfortably and enjoy the seaside view. All amenities you could want and host Alessandro was very helpful and accommodating.

Villa with private pool in Sorrento/Amalfi Coast
Where do I begin? Everything was PERFETTO! The home was absolutely gorgeous with views from two small terraces off of the bedroom and living room overlooking the cliff homes and the bay. The sunsets were breathtaking from 5 different outside terraces that cascaded down alongside the house from the pool down. The delicious homemade lemoncello left for us and the nice breakfast snacks were wonderful with our morning coffee. There is also a menu to have food delivered which was great after a long day of walking. Our host Antonino was fantastic! He stopped in to meet us, helped with suggestions, and helped carry our luggage to the car when leaving. The "supermercato" was cute and more like one of our corner stores but had everything we needed. This was by far our favorite stay during our holiday. Peaceful, quiet, and serene. If I get the chance, I will definitely stay here again. Antoni was accommodating, went out of his way, and was a super, super, super host! I cried happy tears!

Villa INN Costa P
great location for various trips by car Vincenzo friendly person. The stay is available in complete relaxation. We were wonderful to return with pleasure!!THANK YOU FOR YOUR MEAL!!!

Beachfront villa on the Amalfi Coast
Wow! What a great location overlooking Minori. High up on the cliff face with spectacular views. Great living space and kitchen. Bedrooms were clean and functional for both couples and families. 2 outdoor areas, one on the ground floor and one on the second floor, both with spectacular views. 2 well located bathrooms serving both floors. Maurizio was a great host. He met us when we arrived and was there to say farewell. Highly recommend for a fantastic holiday experience on the Amalfi Coast

Chalet Style Family Villa With a Wood-Burning Fireplace
A beautiful, peaceful, relaxing location. The villa has character and the log fire is a great focal point. Outdoor spaces for eating and chatting. A few minutes drive further up the hill is an amazing viewing point with restaurant. Marina is helpful, responsive and friendly.

Villa Ada - View on Sorrento and Napoli gulf
Pictures of the views do not do justice here. Absolutely breathtaking views from all levels of the villa and bedrooms. I would definitely love to return here for a longer stay. Consider renting a car or scooters to venture into town. We walked daily and got our workout. So many markets to choose for food in town as well as a restaurants. One evening we ate late and took an uber back to the villa. I would have loved a small tour of the grounds and an examination of the villas history as it dates back many years. We hope to return to Sorrento again and would love another opportunity to stay here again.

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.
