Great amenities, very clean, far more space than the photos suggest and a good view. There is also a nice coffee machine. Overall, fantastic value. We needed a last minute location and the responsiveness was fantastic - even collecting us from a local restaurant to show us the place in the evening.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mariateresa's place! She greeted us at the bus stop and took us to her clean and comfortable accommodation. Montepertuso is a charming village and is a peaceful escape from the commercial hub of Positano. Keep in mind that during summer, the buses between Positano and Montepertuso can be very hot and crowded. You can walk down to Positano and the views are beautiful however, walking up during summer is definitely a test for your fitness. Mariateresa was an attentive host (she even gave us some limoncello upon arrival) and provided us with great recommendations (il ritrovo restaurant up the road is a must). We would definitely stay here again!

Mariateresa made us very welcome her home was exactly as described,very clean and everything you need.She was also helpful when i was not feeling well.

Appartement très propre et fonctionnel à Montepertuso. Mariateresa est une hôte vraiment sympathique et très disponible. Grazie Mariateresera :) Je recommande vivement ce logement aux personnes assez sportives, qui souhaitent être un peu à l'écart de la ville de Positano. Pour les personnes à mobilité réduite, c'est un peu plus compliqué. Depuis l'appartement, vous mettez environ 20 minutes à pieds pour aller à Positano, par un chemin très vallonné mais très beau. Il y a également un bus qui passe toutes les heures proche de l'appartement, et qui permet de se rendre à Positano, et autres villages aux alentours. Comme mentionné dans les commentaires, il y a deux restaurants près de l'appartements qui valent vraiment le détour et sont excellents (Il Ritrovo et La Tagliata). Pour chacun d'eux il faut mettre le prix (25-50 euros par personne je dirais), mais ça vaut bien plus le coup que les restaurants plus touristiques de Positano. Enfin, vous êtes assez proches du Sentier des Dieux à Nocelle, si vous souhaitez faire cette randonnée.

Great place. Beautiful location. Well kept and worth every dollar. Will definitely stay again.

Our stay in Montepertuso was great! It was nice to be close to Positano and the beach but far enough away to really relax and enjoy the quiet of the small town of Montepertuso. Mariateresa's place is right by the piazza where you can buy snacks and groceries or go to one of the cute restaurants in the town. It was a great stop in our trip to Italy!

Overall my stay here was pleasant but the only issue was the use of appliances. I was never told about limited power until after the first time the power went out and then I also found out the power usage is shared with her house, so the power wound up going out multiple times. Otherwise, great value for your money.

We loved staying at Mariateresa's cute apartment! It was perfect for what we were looking for- we couldn't afford to stay in Positano, and the local bus that took us from Montepertuso to Positano was perfect for transportation to and from the city. Mariateresa welcomed us with everything we needed and made us feel comfortable about Montepertuso.

Antonietta and her husband Renato are the most genuine, kind and polite people I met in my trip in the Amalfi coast. They really know how to treat their guests and are always available throughout your stay in case you need anything. They welcomed me with a glass of prosecco and Bruschette made with fresh tomatoes from their garden, amazing. The appartment is really nice, new and very clean and has everything you need. And the view from the balcony is just breathtaking. Location is great, 15 min bus to positano and there is even a public parking where you can park your car for free (down in positano parkings are expensive). Overall I definitely recommend Villa Laura, one of the best experiences I had in my trips to Southern Italy. I will definitely visit again! Antonietta e Renato sono delle persone gentilissime e molto accoglienti. Mi hanno subito fatto sentire a casa accogliendomi con un bicchiere di prosecco e bruschette fatte con pomodori del loro orto: buonissime. L'appartamento è nuovo ed è molto carino e pulito. La vista dal balcone è fantastica , e nell'appartamento non manca davvero nulla. Il posto è situato a 15 min di autobus da Positano centro, la fermata è a 3-4 minuti a piedi da casa. C è anche un parcheggio pubblico accanto all'appartamento, 2 min a piedi. Davvero una fantastica esperienza, probabilmente la migliore dei miei viaggi nel sud Italia. Tornerò di sicuro!

If you are traveling to Positano, you must stay at Villa Laura. Whilst its up the mountain in the village of Montepertuso, about a 15 minute (6km or so) bus ride to Positano, you will not be disappointed. We were greeted near the parking area by Antonietta and her husband, and we didnt even touch our luggage. It was taken by them and delivered to the villa as we walked the guest trail. Upon reaching it, we were greeted with an incredible view, a lush green outdoor setting area, a welcoming platter and a villa that was immaculately presented. The breakfast each morning was like nothing I have ever had with produce and meats they harvest themselves and we were treated like family. You must dine at the family restaurant just a few minutes away. The food, service and the location will literally take your breath away. Probably the best restaurant experience of my life. Leaving was the hardest part. 5 days just didn't seem long enough. The only other thing I want to mention is that the walk to the villa is a little challenging. There are a few stairs involved, not that you need to worry about negotiating them with your luggage. They will take care of that. The bus stop is a 5 minute walk and its about 1.40 Euro to get down into Positano and 1.40 back and there are other restaurants in the village if you decide to stay local. We had a car, which I dont suggest unless you plan of driving further up the Amalfi Coast. That itself is also a challenge. It was an amazing stay which I cant highly recommend enough. I will come back here one day. Grazie mille to Antonietta and her family.

Die Villa Laura ist ein wunderbarer Ort um geruhsame Tage an der Amalfiküste zu verbringen. Die Lage im kleinen Bergdorf Montepertuso ist einzigartig: Einerseits kann man die Ruhe genießen, andererseits gibt es eine stündliche Busverbindung nach Positano. Von dort aus sind weitere Orte auf der sor(SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)schen Halbinsel und die Insel Capri mit Bus bzw. per Schiff gut erreichbar (Informationen und Tipps gibt es jederzeit von den Gastgebern). Die Gastfreundschaft von Antonietta und Renato beginnt bereits vor dem Aufenthalt mit Empfehlungen zur Anreise und begleitet einen während der gesamten Zeit, sodass man sich richtiggehend umsorgt fühlt. Jeder Tag beginnt mit einem abwechslungsreichen, frisch zubereiteten Frühstück - besser gesagt mit einem "Frühstücksmenü" - bestehend aus hausgemachten Produkten, das man im herrlichen Garten mit Blick aufs Meer genießen kann. Was man nicht versäumen darf: ein Besuch des Familienrestaurants La Tagliata und die "cooking class" von Antonietta und Renato. Der Aufenthalt in der Villa Laura ist ein Erlebnis und lässt keine Wünsche offen!

Everything was perfect. From the most authentic Amalfi Coast location, cleanliness of the apartment and the much more than one should expect breakfast :). Antonietta is the best hostess one could hope for and always replies quickly to any question. In addition to the best view, the apartment is quiet, very well furnished and sunny. Antonietta was waiting for us with her father in law to help us park our car and walk to the apartment where a bottle of wine and a light mid-afternoon snack awaited. She is gracious and always willing to help if you need any advice about day trips or places to go. As others have mentioned in their reviews, Antonietta's and Renato's family own a restaurant just up the road (3 bends in the road and you're there), La Tagliata. This is where you should eat every night. There's no reason to go elsewhere--the food is outstanding (they grow all their vegetables and animals) and the service the friendliest you can expect. The prices are between 50 and 80 euros (house wine included) for two and they have live music every Tuesday. We cannot thank enough to our great hosts, we just wish we had more time to spend in Montepertuso:)

Antonietta was the most welcoming and friendly host we have ever had. She surprised us with fresh bruschetta the first day we arrived and homemade limoncello as a parting gift. She also made us a wonderful multi-course breakfast every morning served on the little patio overlooks the water. If this does not give a sense of how wonderful Antonietta was, check out the yelp reviews for her parents restaurant, La Tagliata, which is one of the best hidden gems in the area and a good demonstration of the kind of friendly welcome and delicious food you can expect here. The perfect cap to a wonderful trip to Amalfi! The apartment itself is a nice 2 bedroom home, clean, simple, and well equipped. It was also a nice break from the crowds of Positano to stay up on the cliffs in Montepertusso. The town is a steep 20 minute walk down to the water, or an easy (and always on time) 15 minute bus ride. Parking in Positano is a challenge and expensive, so staying just outside with an easy bus trip was actually the best of all, with easy access to the Path of the Gods, a lovely view, and all the attractions of Positano nearby. All in all, I one of the most memorable Airbnb experiences in the best possible way!

Our stay at Villa Laura was brilliant. We couldn't have wished for better hosts than Antonietta and Renato. Their English is great and they went out of their way to help us. The best restaurants in Positano are in Montepertuso, including the lovely La Tagliata which is run by Antionietta's family. The apartment is newly refurbished and immaculate and the private garden terrace perfect for sunbathing. The breakfasts were amazing, consisting of home made food, fresh fruit and fantastic coffee. 5* B&B experience, we wish we could have stayed longer and certainly want to stay again!

Our stay at Villa Laura was absolutely perfect. Antoniette and Renato are amazing hosts and their apartment is gorgeous. The photos don't quite do it justice as the views from the garden and kitchen/living room are incredible. Me and my girlfriend were travelling on a bit of a budget and so it was great that the kitchen was fully equipped so that we could cook meals whilst we were there. Renato was also kind enough to bring us a few vegetables from the garden which were delicious (I have never tasted a tomato as good as the ones here). There is also a well stocked local shop a few minutes walk from the house. We were slightly concerned about the distance from Positano when we booked but it is actually great to be away from the busy main town and be in the middle of a village full of locals. The walk down to Positano is an easy 20 minutes and the views along the path offer a great photo opportunity of Positano and the coast. Coming back up the path is a bit more effort but the bus is an easy, cheap and quick alternative. Antonietta and Renato made us feel very welcome and were great at giving advice and recommendations about the local area. The breakfast was outstanding - far better than any hotel breakfast I have had and mostly locally sourced from the adjacent garden. We would fully recommend booking Villa Laura and hope we can return in the future for another visit! Thank you for having us!!!!!

Antonietta & Renato are exceptional people. One of a kind! Villa Laura is bar far one of the best Air BNB's I have stayed. I have traveled around the world and this is a special & magical place. Villa Laura is a 10 stars AirBNB. Antonietta welcomed me with open arms and assisted me tremendously with her generosity and kind spirit. My wallet was stolen on the train in Naples and was a significant event. Antonietta & Renato went over and above to ensure I was taken care of and assisted while I called to cancel the cards and strategize my next move. They truly took care of me during this vulnerable time. They are so resourceful and know the area well, advice & tips are constant. Villa Laura with its truly spectacular views has everything you need. The Villa is modern, extraordinarily clean, comfortable, a large space for two couples, or a family. The views are gorgeous! The dinner at their renown family restaurant is stupendous. was incredible. A 5- star family run restaurant that has top notch service and food. The experience will be a highlight of your trip! We enjoyed the dinner at their family restaurant up the road as well as the multiple bottles of wine. I highly recommend this gorgeous Villa Laura for a place of solitude to relax and discover the Amalfi coast over a few days or weeks. Many thanks for all your kindness and compassion.

Angela was extremely welcoming! She is seriously one of the sweetest people I've ever met! She arranged a taxi to pick us up from positano to take us to her apartment, which was a beautiful spacious place! The view was amazing and it was extremely cozy! She really made us feel at home :) I also enjoyed staying up in the mountains compared to down in positano. I would suggest going to the restaurant her dad works at! Such an amazing experience at this Airbnb.

Our stay was absolutely spot on, It's just above positano - but you get the unique experience, the house is on the path of the gods and takes twenty minutes to walk to positano, then the busses leave 20minutes past the hour to return to the house. Very easy. Emily was just amazing, she greeted us, cooked as an amazing home cooked meal for dinner on our arrival, and breakfast for the following days - all home grown produce. Very helpful with knowledge also, was always there is we needed. I will 100% be recommending this place to my friends. It was brilliant!

We had a great stay! The town is lovely, and the view is amazing! Felt very safe in the town and the host was very friendly and made us a delicious breakfast ! The house was very big and comfortable. We would go back. Thank you for everything !

Emilia is a great host who left us wine and fresh vegetables from her garden in our garden with a gorgeous view. Well, Italy and Italians are very charming as we know it and the feeling of montepertuso and the narrow streets of this neighborhood is there to confirm this. The house was very spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. By the way Positano is the heaven on earth and there are stairs (+300!) right next to the house all the way down to Positano.

Emilia and family were absolutely wonderful!! Gennaro and Roberto both helped us being our luggage, and everyone gave us suggestions on where to spend our time, made reservations for us at restaurants, helped us with parking, and just in general made us feel so welcome. We adored the property, and the view is absolutely stunning. It's wonderful to be able to leave the bustle of Positano and come back to tranquil Montepertuso. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much Emilia, Roberto and Gennaro!!

Emilia's home is one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed, the view alone from the rooftop patio was worth the stay. On top of that Emilia made us feel very welcome, providing fruits and eggs from her family's gardens. The town of Montepertuso is the perfect anecdote to bustling tourist-filled Positano below. I hope to one day stay here again.

Montepertuso is a coastal gem; up in the hillside the views are breathtaking. There was a slight mix-up with our booking, but Emilia and her family went out of their way to make sure we were looked after, and we enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Thanks Emilia!

Clean home with stunning views. Would stay here again. Bedrooms were large, plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the views. Emilee and family are very great hosts and went out of there way to ensure we had a great experience.

Prachtige plek, alles was aanwezig. Supermarktke en goed restaurant op 10 min lopen. Wel eerst een stijle trap op. Als je slecht ter been bent en get is heeeel warm dan is dat geen feest! Romantische plek!

I can only endorse what the previous visitor have said already :) A beautiful apartment with an amazing view. Catching the bus (in September) wasn't a problem at any time and the bus stop is very close by. It's very clean, it's absolutely calm (apart from the crowing cocks in the early morning) and an idyll. A small supermarket is a few steps away. Walking downstairs to Positano took us only 10 minutes but you shouldn't have any knee issues. The communication with Angelo was easy and he was responding quickly. I would totally recommend this airBnB!!!

Our experience in Montepertuso, up on the cliff peering down upon Positano in such a beautiful little home, was amazing! The place is perfect, with great balcony to relax and watch the world go by. The walk down the path to Positano, 20 minutes or 35 mins on way back up, whilst might be physically challenging, the views are more than worth it and seeing all the beautiful houses along the way. Angelo (friend of Antonio) awaiting our untimely late arrival, booked a taxi and could not have been nicer. Loved our experience and would definitely stay again (for longer!)

Our stay at Casa Degli Angeli could not have been better. Antonio was more than helpful every step of the way. The home was very clean and beautiful just like the photos. There were fresh strawberries, milk and butter in the fridge upon our arrival. Antonio was kind enough to make reservations for us at a nearby restaurant (there are a few within walking distance). This home is in a perfect location, nestled in the hills of Montepertuso (a small town above Positano). There is a bus stop at the top of the stairs that runs every hour which makes it very convenient to get back and forth to Positano (15 min ride). We enjoyed having more of a local experience, but still being able to hop on the bus into town if we wanted. I would highly recommend this host if you are planning to visit Positano. This was truly a wonderful experience and such a beautiful home!!

Antonio was a fantastic host. Easy to communicate with and very responsive. The apartment is beautiful and so quiet. It was lovely to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle of Positano at the end of each day. I highly recommend this apartment if you want something quiet in a beautiful location.

Amazing accommodations, lovely host who goes out of his way to make sure you have a great vacation, as well as fresh fruit and goodies on arrival! The flat itself is a perfect little Italian Dream for two

My friend and I had the most incredible experience with this AirBNB appartment. It was much bigger it seems in the pictures and was completely spotless with one of the most breathtaking views of the ocean I have ever seen (coming from someone who lives on a beach). We arrived late because our flight from London was delayed but the transition from Positano centre up the windy road to Monterpurtuso couldn't have been easier. Antonio met us and helped us with our luggage, showed us around and booked us into a VERY hard to get into restaurant in town. We walked up the hill the first night to a local restaurant recommended by Antonio and it was the best meal of the trip. If you're looking for a true Postiano experience, away from the throngs of English speaking tourists then this place is 100% recommended. We felt like locals riding the bus after a long day at the beach with everyone chatting away in Italian laughing and carrying on up the hill. The walk down to town is pretty crazy but its all part of the experience. I wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you for everything Antonio, you were a wonderful, attentive and friendly host.

We stayed at Antonio's apartment from March 23-26, 2017 and cannot thank them enough for this beautiful gem. Antonio's entire family, including his wife, and 3 helpful sons, were so welcoming and attentive to all our questions, given our curiosity and excitement surrounding our 1st visit to Italy. This apartment is perched right above Positano, affording simply stunning sea views from our spacious private kitchen patio (with dining set) and private master bedroom balcony on the 2nd floor! : ) The apartment was impeccably clean, and furnished beautifully, with a fully functional cute little kitchen and dining area. They included lovely touches such as coffee, tea, muffins, milk, butter, toasts, jams and a huge fruit bowl filled with Positano's delicious oranges, as well as apples and pears. Our garden area included lemon trees, rosemary bushes and many colorful flowers. To get to Positano, we chose to walk the nearby steps all the way down into town, which took us 20 minutes because we stopped so often to take jaw-dropping photos of Positano and the Mediterranean Sea from many spots along our walk. On the previous part of our holiday, we visited Lake Como, Portofino, Capri, Rome, and Sorrento and we felt the the walk down the hill from Antonio's apartment to Positano gave us the most beautiful vistas and coastline views of our entire holiday!! We even stopped to watch some sheep grazing right next to the stairs. In Montepertuso itself, we couldn't help but smile huge smiles as the roosters and chickens across the wooded ravine, greeted us during breakfast : ) As a side note, Antonio's village is quiet and peaceful and the gorgeous, new french doors he installed in the kitchen and master bedroom gave warm, full sunlight into the apartment. Also, there are full-length, new shutter doors on both areas that will completely shut out the sunlight, if you desire. The doors and windows on this apartment are super high quality so that, we did not hear one thing while we were sleeping, including not hearing the roosters until we opened the doors first thing every sunny morning for breakfast on our sunlite, sea-view kitchen terrace and master bedroom terrace. This apartment felt like we were staying at Santa Catarina or Il Sirenuse, the most luxurious hotels on the Amalfi Coast. This was such an incredible value that we still can't believe it, as we reminisce about our dream stay in Anotonio's Montepertuso Italy apartment. (Also, Angelo's assistance was super friendly and he helped settle is and answer more of our excited questions!). Thank you again, we miss Montepertuso so much and we have only been back from our holiday for one day. ~Dana and Mary : )

prachtig apartment met een schitterend uitzicht over positano. Mijn vriendin en ik verbleven 3 nachten in het appartement van Antonio. voorafgaand hadden wij van zijn zusje informatie gehad over hoe wij het beste het appartement konden bereiken (met de bus of taxi). zo eigenwijs als wij zijn kozen ervoor om met de trap te gaan. niet echt een goede keus om met je koffer naar het appartement te lopen, maar eenmaal aangekomen bij het appartement maakte het prachtige uitzicht vanaf het dakterras alles goed. Elisa (het zusje van Antonio) gaf veel informatie over het appartement en positano zelf. ook was er een mapje waarin je alles nog een keer kon terug lezen. het appartement was netjes en had alles wat je nodig had. Als je naar positano gaat moet je er natuurlijk wel rekening mee houden dat je veel trappen gaat lopen. als je uitstapt bij bushalte di fornillo (rijdt ieder kwartier) moet je zo'n 300 traptreden naar boven lopen tot aan het apartement. en als je boven uitstapt bij via garrita dan slecht 50 naar beneden, maar deze bus rijd 1 keer in het uur. wij raden het appartement zeker aan voor wie naar positano wil! en nogmaals het uitzicht vanaf het appartement is echt adembenemend!! bedankt Elisa en Antonio!!

The apartment was beautiful. The view was absolutely stunning from the balcony or private Terrace. The apartment is at the top of the hill so it is a trek back up to the apartment. We thought it was more secluded from the core which was further down which we enjoyed. The shower was a bit small but we expected it. Antonio's sister Eliza greeted us and was a lovely host. She helped with anything we needed. Very lovely experience overall.

What a beautiful apartment and a lovely town! Elisabetta was a very good host. Our flat was equipped with a small kitchen, a nice bathroom, and best of all, a beautiful balcony overlooking Positano and the sea. We really enjoyed the view and the open air. It was nice to be a little outside of the main village because we liked the quiet part of the neighborhood and the small beach just at the bottom of the hill. Of course there are many steps, but for the unforgettable view, it was definitely worth it! Thank you Elisabetta for providing such nice accommodation. We hope to be back to Positano again soon!

View was amazing. However that's where it stopped. The stairs down were definitely an issue with suitcases- the room itself was big but the bathroom had a very bad stench - and the hot water system leaks, which then floods the bathroom. and the shower doesn't stay hot for more than a minute. The communication with Antonio was terrible - from asking for directions weeks Earlier to our arrival he gave them on the day we arrived - not good when wifi is limited throughout a trip. He wasn't there for arrival- but his mum was - who was nice and accommodating but doesn't speak English. We contacted Antonio the first night to ask about hot water and to say we weren't happy and again no response from him. The bed was hard- 2 singles pushed together. The room was loud with other apartments next door.

My stay in positano was simply delightful, the apartment was clean, the view was amazing and the steps were a great experience! Elisa was of great help with how to get there and around, and her brother Nello was great company helping to take us from the station and around. Would love to come back soon hopefully in the summer.

We were met by Claudio's sister Eliosa who called our name on the SITA bus as it stopped in Positano. We then walked down to the flat. Yes there are lots of steps but that is Positano. So if you don't like that sort of thing don't visit. We LOVED this place for our long weekend trip. It was EVERYTHING we wanted. A studio flat with a fridge and pots to make breakfast. The view is stunning and made our morning every single day. Just to note there is a balcony, a little patio area where you can sit and have breakfast and then a huge terrace where you can workout or do yoga. We were extremely sad to leave and if we return we would definitely look to stay here because I really couldn't fault the experience. If you were looking to stay for 2 weeks then you may need to find a place to wash your clothes other than the sink. Literally can't rave enough and the best bit is there is a beautiful, quiet beach at the bottom away from the main square. LOVE POSITANO, LOVE this flat. Lastly it was chilly at night as there was a storm but the heater was exactly right and worked a treat.

Elisa met us at the bus stop on arrival and carried my carry on bag down all the stairs. She was very helpful with settling us into the apartment and answering any questions we had. We got a great recommendation for dinner and it was fantastic food. The apartment is comfortable for 2 people. It is about 335 steps down to town so be ready for exercise. We didn't mind and it's all part of living and visiting in Positano!

Beautiful place with an incredible view. Very clean, bright, and cozy! Lots of things were provided (towels, blow-dryer, shampoo) so we only had to go out for a few items (wine bottle opener, coffee). Antonio was one of the most helpful hosts, too. He was always quick to respond to offer suggestions. The walk to the beach isn't bad if you're in good shape. It was very easy to learn how to get around after the first day. :) The only things I would note are the Wi-Fi and bathroom. The shower (and overall bathroom) was very small and water leaked everywhere, so we had to ring and place towels to dry outside constantly (not ideal when you're on vacation). The hot water also only lasted for 5mins, so we were forced to jump in and out unless we wanted freezing cold water. The Wi-Fi was really not the best, either. There were only certain places in the apartment where we could access it, so that became a bit irritating. Overall, wonderful little place with just two things that might be deal breakers for some. The views made the experience for us, so we are grateful for the hospitality!

If you are staying in Positano for a few days this is the absolute perfect place to be. The apartment is beautiful, very big (2 bathrooms) and very close to the beach/water. Located right in the heart of the downtown (shops, restaurants) with a perfect view of the ocean, it is a great place to stay for walking purposes. Chiara and her husband were very nice and accommodating and made check in and check out extremely easy. They even gave us a bottle of wine when we arrived. Couldn't recommend this enough.

Best location in Positano, central to all, public transportation at your doorstep. Grocery with pre-prepared food available in addition to many nice restaurants. Apartment was very clean and comfortable. Car service arranged by host was great and highly recommended for arrival and checkout, otherwise public buses are fun for day trips. Hosts were the best in every way, very helpful with questions and making our stay easy.

This place is a treasure- why stay in a hotel for more money when you can have a beautiful apartment that is centrally located? Positano is amazing and Chiara's apartment is in the middle of it all; a five minute walk from the beach and very close to the bus stop. The apartment is comfortable, clean and has a great view of the sea and the duomo. Chiara was an extremely hospitable host and told us everything we needed to know.

Exceptional communication before and during our stay, despite the language differences. Warmly greeted and welcomed personally by Chiara and her husband with clear explanations of how the equipment in the apartment operated, where key local shops and services (including both Positano Interno (Central) and Sita (la Sponda) bus stops - NB: bus tickets need to be purchased from the nearby Tabacchi shop ) were located, plus several restaurant recommendations and a much appreciated welcoming bottle of wine. Best food and service was at the Saracene d'Or restaurant, which is on the Interno circuit bus route. Apartment well-equipped (including a much-appreciated washing machine) quiet, spacious and superbly centrally located (Piazza dei Mulini is the centre of Positano), with great views from lounge, bedroom and balconies. Folding table and chair setting for 2 great to use for casual dining on either balcony. Double glazed French doors to balconies great for acoustic insulation and ventilation as well as for access to/from balconies. It was perfect for a couple such as us. If arriving by public transport, best to come by Sita bus and alight at La Sponda bus stop, from where you have an easy downhill walk without steps or stairs to the apartment. We came by ferry from Sorrento and were faced with a challenging uphill walk from the Quay with lots of (circa 70) steps, although it is possible to use the porterage service, at a cost (2016) of 8 Euros per bag. Be warned that if the seas are a bit rough, the ferries are cancelled. If you come by car (DON'T!) much better to use one of the expensive local pay parking facilities and then use the local buses to get around Positano. The Sita regional buses were often very crowded and it was not always possible to get a seat, even in early October. We appreciated Chiara efficiently arranging a private car transfer for us to Napoli Centrale Stazione when we left, at a cost of 110 Euros.

Muy lindo departamento. Los ambientes son muy grandes y se encuentra en perfecto estado. Las fotos reflejan la realidad del departamento. Chiara fuy muy amable, y estaba disponible para cualquier cosa que se necesite. Muy recomendable

Chiara was a great hostess! The apartment is in a perfect location with plenty of room. We would stay there again! Thanks for a wonderful stay in Positano!

This was a perfect place to stay in Positano. It is located right at the start of the pedestrianized area so eliminated some of those Positano steps the town is famous for. It is right near the local Positano bus stop and a short 10 minute uphill walk to the Sita bus stop to other areas. We had a lovely bakery & mini grocery store immediately nearby. Four of us stayed quite comfortably in the apartment - the rooms are spacious, beds comfortable, and a nice distant Positano/water view off the two small balconies. There are 2 bathrooms - the smaller one has a low ceiling you need to watch out for so we used that as the secondary bathroom. The main bathroom is off the bedroom and was quite big. The room with the pullout bed served as a 2nd bedroom and sitting area. Chiara was a wonderful hostess - very responsive to my questions before our arrival. On arrival she showed us through the place and gladly provided details of the area. We stayed for 6 nights and Chiara was readily available throughout. Would highly recommend a stay here and hope to make it back one day.

We had an absolutely amazing time in Positano! Chiara was an incredible host! She had both a fresh fruit basket and a bottle of wine to welcome us. Mid-week she also made us fresh pesto from her garden and delivered ripe tomatoes. The apartment is very centrally located and I think a bit bigger than the pictures let on. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Positano!

Prachtig verblijf met een schitterend uitzicht. Wij hebben genoten! Luciana is een enthousiaste en warme gastvrouw die er alles aan doet om het naar je zin te maken.

Prachtige plek met fantastisch uitzicht over de bergen en de zee. Luciana en haar ouders zijn zeer gastvrij en nemen uitgebreid de tijd om uitleg te geven over bezienswaardigheden en te helpen met het reserveren van restaurants. Zeer hartelijke ontvangst met zelfgemaakte limoncello en vruchten uit de tuin. Kortom zeker een aanrader!

Het was de mooiste plek die ik me kan voorstellen, de advertentie is kloppend en nog mooier in het echt. Ik kon niet wachten tot het weer ochtend werd om te genieten van zoveel moois. Luciana, haar vader en moeder hielpen waar ze maar konden en het was een heerlijke week, we komen zeker een keer terug en zullen het al onze vrienden aanbevelen. Het niet perfecte qua inrichting van het volledig ingerichte appartement beviel ons erg en ik had het idee 50 jaar terug in de tijd te zijn en dan met wifi haha. Maar deze romantiek beviel me ontzettend en raakte me in mijn hart. Dank je Luciana voor je warme verzorging van ons 7 daags verblijf boven in de bergen van Nocelle. Een klein bergdorp van 140 mensen waar iedereen elkaar kent en helpt. De busreis iedere dag vanuit Positano is prima en een heerlijke rit, tussen de Italianen en de plaatselijke jeugdige voetballertjes die daar gewoon hun dagelijkse leven leiden. Het eten in de pizzeria, naast de minimarket is super sfeervol tegen een grot gebouwd met hetzelfde grandioze uitzicht. We hebben daar muzikale avondjes gehad en heerlijk gegeten en gedronken tegen een kleine prijs. Wat een rust en ontspanning ook tijdens de schitterende wandeling over Sentiere degli Dei. (pad van God) Ik zeg doen!!!!

Villa Sofia is a piece of HEAVEN ON EARTH!! So glad we booked here. Luciana is a kind hearted & caring hostess who goes above and beyond to make her guests happy. The Villa is exactly what is described. Its rustic and secluded but breathtaking in every way. We would highly recommend this B&B. If you love romance, adventure & peace, tranquility & post card views - than this is the place you need to stay.

I soo love Villa Sofai. Luciana is full of life and made things so nice for us. The whole family works very hard for the guests. Our daughter recommended her. They had stayed there 5 years ago and she sent a gift back with us for her and her family!

We had an amazing stay at Villa Sofia! They were so accommodating and welcoming. Breakfast on the balcony every morning was an amazing start to our days. We loved being removed from the main part of town and felt we really got to experience Italian life. Thank you so much for the amazing stay, we wish we could have stayed longer!

Luciana was a great host helped us with everything we need .. We didn't need to ask any questions .. She answered everything before we could ask . The place the room and the view were amazing . We will definitely come back here . Thank you Luciana
