Beautiful villa with a gorgeous view from terrace. Air conditioning worked great and plenty of room for four adults. Because of the many steps a porter service was needed. Laura was a great help in arranging the porter service.

Condo in Vico Equense
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 108 reviewsLovely 2 bedroom beach apartment near Sorrento
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, 116 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
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 106 reviewsWonderful apartment SOLEMARE - 20mt from the sea!
Great stay at Pio's. The apartment has beautiful sea and Vesuvius views. We felt great about it.
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
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 179 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 Naples
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 280 reviewsOld town flat Napoli
A nice, comfortable apartment in a very central place. Surprisingly calm and quiet in spite of the huge number of people outside. Emanuela was extremely helpful and friendly. For example, when there was a small issue with the toilet, she had it fixed in one hour even though it was Christmas. Warmly recommended!
Condo in Napoli
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 148 reviewsEntireApartment SpaccaNapoli
Gabriella's home is really well located in the heart of Napoli but still peaceful enough for sleep. The space is definitely spacious compared to other places I've rented in Italy and they were really accommodating with our travel plans. Her son Ottavio greeted us warmly, helped us get our luggage into the place, and made us coffee while he sat down and gave us an overview of the area and what we should do with our time in the city. They both were very responsive and the space was charming with some tall windows to let natural light into the living room where we had breakfast. Would definitely visit this spot again!!

Vacation home in Salerno
4.75 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsMinisuite F-House: near the Cathedral of Salerno
A mini suite must in Salerno! Location: near Old Town with privacy and near cheap food, bars, activities, also easy transportation to beaches in the Amalfi Coast. You see the ocean. Safely gated and clean too. Accommodation: We stayed 3 men and had plenty of space as if we had 3 nice beds and bedrooms. It was humid but there have great AC. Had a laundry machine. Water heat was mild so if you need hot water ask the hosts. Staff: they were so kind, quick, and easy going. Helped after a Halloween power shutdown within 20 minutes Paola came to our aid and celebrated a Happy Halloween! Features: minimalist with a flare of funky travel art and a little sheik (there’s a big chandelier!), last the recycling is a bit of a schedule over the whole week but this city is award winning in its green initiatives! We loved our stay and would definitely recommend thank you 😊

Apartment 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 :)

Apartment in Piazza Roma
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviewsEnchantment - Holiday House
We had a fantastic stay at Gennaro's place. Communication was excellent, with helpful instructions and directions and recommendation to book a small / medium car (important due to the roads into his place). The place itself is great, super clean, plenty of room, great kitchen facilities and the view from the balcony is amazing! Location is great for exploring the region and ending the day with views of Vesuvius and the bay with fireworks from the wedding venue next door!

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.
