Positano casa bella
Such an amazing home! Beautiful view and amazing distance from the bus stop which is super convenient! Melania was very helpful in all ways! Would stay here again!

Casa Misia amazing view on Positano and Capri.
I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Everything from start to finish was just perfect! The apartment is located near the town center and is within walking distance from several amazing restaurants, the beach, the bus stop, and amazing shops including a grocery store. It also has the most beautiful view! Anna was extremely helpful leading up to our stay and during. She organized car transportation, dinner reservations, as well as a chef dinner hosted at the apartment, with several courses that were all family recipes and unique to the area of Praiano. This experience was worth every single penny! We really fell in love with Praiano. So many restaurants with the best food and very kind people, with zero crowd from the surrounding areas. We cannot wait to come back someday!

Appartamento Fefé
Fefé was absolutely amazing! She was the best host you can ask for, communication was so on point. She gave me the best recommendations for all the places. Her place was spotless. Super super safe and secure as well! Very minimal steps to get to her place. My only call out would be it can get a little loud at night as her place is right above the port and a bar but Fefé has you covered with complimentary ear plugs. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Panoramic La Conchiglia "studio"
We loved our stay! Perfectly located around all of the good restaurants, rooftop bars, and sights to see! Positano had a lot of stairs but this property was so centrally located that we normally took the stairs down to where we needed to go and then just walked the Main Street back up which was so much easier. Loved the views from the property and the mosaic tiles inside! I don’t have a single bad thing to say. Book this place if you have the chance!

Rosa del mare, Positano (Amalfi Coast)
Loved our stay here! In a great location. There weren’t many stairs to get to the Airbnb or to get to restaurants and the beach. The pictures they have don’t do this place justice. Way more beautiful in person. The host was great. They let us check in early and let us keep our bags at the Airbnb late while we explored. Would book again!!!

I'm enchanted
Beautiful view of Positano and the sea. It is a walk down to town that is not bad. The walk back can be a little of a challenge at the end of the day, but the view is worth it! There is a market you can walk to in 2 minutes. The host arranged our transportation to and from the Airbnb and met us for check in and it went very smoothly. Cute colorful apartment as the pictures show. Very nice stay.

Casa Sami Surrounded by greenery with sea view
Everything about this stay will make you feel at home. Concetta & Anna are incredible hosts with a level of hospitality that is unmatched!

Antimo Suite - Casa Scibetta
Fabrizio and the co-host Maria were both very responsive and helpful. Maria made it very easy to get to the Airbnb. The Airbnb was clean, looked just like the pictures and the large balcony was stunning. Fabrizio also helped organize private transportation for us from Positano to Naples. We had a great experience.

"Positano Hill Apartment" Comfortable & Charming
As soon as we booked Giulia’s property she was warm, welcoming and immensely helpful. She answered all of my many questions and provided very useful tips and recommendations weeks and days prior to our arrival. Once we arrived she greeted us at the meeting point and helped carry our bags to the property. She made us feel right at home and my only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

CENTER Panoramic HUGE TERRACE WIFI
We loved our stay at Enzo’s!! It was beautiful and the view on the balcony was absolutely stunning! We spent almost all our time out there! Very clean and looked like the pics. Enzo was so fast to respond to texts and so helpful! Would highly recommend!

La Meridiana Azzurra - Blu view
I’m not sure it gets better than this. Amazing views. Margherita can help you get a parking spot reserved for around 50 euro per day which is well worth it and bring some change for the lift. This place’s views are amazing and I love the charm of the old building and outdoor patio while impeccably clean and well stocked.

Sea & Sky.
Beautiful accommodation in a small quiet village with amazing sea views. We are about 30 minutes from Positano and Amalfi by public transit. A few steps from the Sentier des Dieux hike… The hosts are very friendly and responsive to requests.

La Casetta B&B
Regina was fast to respond. She will text you prior to your arrival to advise on check-in & transfer from airport. We were early for check-in like 1 hour ahead and she has accommodated to our request. She came in person to orientate us throughout the unit and the amenities. She also gave a local map and recommendation on food choices. The location is walkable to the Spiaggia Grande for our tours & more great food. The unit is a 1 bedroom with a toilet & balcony a few metres away from scooter rental & some food. Not too quiet and yet not too busy. It is clean and well-maintained. Size wise is a little small but this doesn't inconvenient us.

Breathtaking view - Casa Caldiero Villa Il Riccio #1
We had a great stay this week. Grady and Francesca were very hospitable and helpful with communication and recommendations. The villa was well appointed and close to restaurants, shopping, the water and ferries. A perfect base for exploring the Amalfi coast. The view from the villa was amazing! We will miss this great spot for enjoying wine on the terrace every night and coffee each morning. Positano was incredible! We got to experience this great community when Napoli won the Series A championship in a viewing party downtown. Overall a perfect vacation. Ciao!

CASA BIANCA with free private parking!!
Francesca, Teresa were very responsive answered All my many questions. They were helpful in setting up a private transfer from the Naples airport to their accommodation as well as setting up the luggage carrier to bring to the property. The property does have steep stairwell going down is fine coming up is a workout no fault of their own. That’s just Italy ! Lol A local market was right up the road very reasonably priced ! Restaurants were great as well. We highly recommend La Tagliata. Highly recommend staying with Francesca and Teresa they make you feel at home and like family!

ASPETTANDO L'ALBA - APARTMENT WITH PRIVATE POOL
This stay was one of the best Airbnb stays we’ve ever had. Mostly because we fell in love with Praiano and the pool and view of this place is unmatched. Roberta was so helpful in booking a sunset cruise with transport, dinner recs and so much more. I will dream of this stay for a very long time.

Saracino A - Steps from the beach
It is a great location. It was very clean and Carlos was a great communicator. I would definitely stay there again.

Casa Marina, a terrace on the sea
Marina’s apartment was a gem! We loved our stay in Atrani and the apartment was perfect. We spent the end of each day lounging on the patio looking out at the beautiful sea. Marina was incredibly thoughtful and left many surprises for us upon arrival. Atrani was exactly what we hoped for-it was laid back and inviting, a wonderful respite from the busy cities of the Amalfi coast. The locals were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!!!!

CDS - A dream place between sky and sea x 4pax
Mario’s property was amazing !! Even better than the photos. The view was amazing and it was the perfect space for my boyfriend and I. It was the perfect in between from Amalfi and Positano. We rented a car and parked at the property and day triped everywhere. It was absolutely perfect. Everyone at the property was so nice and attentive. The little town was so cute and had everything we needed! Thank you again for everything!

Positano Center-4 Bedrooms-4 Bathrooms- Guests 7+1
My husband & I and three adult children had a lovely stay at Villa Sostella. Sabrina & Gaetano were excellent hosts prior to our arrival & during our stay. The views from the terrace were breathtaking! Each of the 4 bedrooms had its own bathroom & shower which everyone appreciated! The location was perfect with easy access to the home and to great local restaurants without having to go up or down too many steps. Access to the marina where we took a private boat ride to Capri and a ferry to Amalfi was about 15 minutes away (taking many stairs all the way down) and I’m so glad my husband & I took taxi rides back to the villa. My children decided to climb the stairs from the marina / city center to the villa and while they liked it, they admitted it was exhausting :)

VILLA GAETANO
We had a fantastic stay! Nicola was very easy to work with, helpful with all questions and/or concerns, and the apartment was even better than what I had imagined. Very clean, looked just like the pictures, and had plenty of space for 4 adults. Location was great! Praiano is on the quiet side which was great after visiting busier places like Positano. Great restaurants nearby and a little market conveniently located right at the top of the stairs. We are so happy with our choice and can't wait to come back!

Amalfi Lady Laura House
I can’t speak highly enough about our experience staying here. Antonio and his father made us feel very at home They went above and beyond to help guide us in things to do in the area, were extremely responsive, and made our whole check in and check out experience seamless. The space itself was stunning, it was perfect to access all the ferries and enjoy downtown Amalfi. HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here

Rosetta's home
OH did we ever love this place! Very clean and well equipped, with a great shower... And then there’s the balcony......The views are spectacular! We drank in the coastal views with our complimentary prosecco. Valentina’s sister Flora was the BEST host of our trip! (The others were quite good too, but Flora is #1) She helped us navigate the very difficult bus ride from Amalfi, even coming onto the crowded bus to make sure we got off the right stop. She made restaurant suggestions and even made our reservations for us securing the best tables and treatment. She gave directions to beaches and various sites. I really can’t say enough about how sweet she is. Praiano is much more laid back but still has everything for a great visit. We planned to go visit Ravello and Positano but liked it there so much we never left. Thank you for a wonderful visit to the Amalfi Coast. ❤️

Home 10 BB Charming Amalfi Coast, Salerno
A lovely little private gem on coast of Italy. Monica was responsive and greeted us personally when we arrived. Gave us lots of local recommendations and also provided some breakfast food. Very kind host and lovely clean and spacious place. Thank you!

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.
