Villa Nettuno is near a mini market, restaurants and bars. There are bus links to Sorrento and destinations along the Amalfi Coast.

This is the best place we have stayed at in Italy. Antonio (owner of the villa) went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. He even helped us for restaurant reservations. The bed is super comfortable and the room was exceptionally clean. GREAT soundproofing (which is rare in Italy) and the balcony view is amazing. The modern shower was amazing as well. We will definitely come back!

Exceptional customer service from the staff (Michele) and attention to detail in ever aspect of our 3 night stay. We stayed in a two bedroom suite with two full bathrooms for two couples- very functional and comfortable. The daily breakfast was the best we've ever experienced with respect to quality, presentation and freshness. The location in Positano is perfect for restaurants, shopping and less than 10 minutes to the beautiful beach!

With its hilltop position in the hamlet of Montepertuso and right above Positano, Le Ghiande offers a patio with 6-seater hot tub and free Wi-Fi. It includes air-conditioned en suite rooms with a panoramic balcony.

Salvatore was an amazing host. He was available and knowledgeable. Very attentive. The property is very nice and overlooks a large part of the coast. It does sit 115 steps above the road so it is a bit a of a climb in the heat.

    Lovely villa high up on the hills behind Positano with stunning views of the Amalfi coast. Gorgeous terrace and gardens with a delightful little plunge pool. If you want a relaxing break where all you want to do is chill at the villa and soak up the views and sun, as long as you bring enough food for your stay, this is the place for you.

    We absolutely loved this villa! The place is very nice, the interior design is tastefully done with a kind of vintage vibe. Everything was very clean. The view from our private terrace and common terrace was terrific! The breakfast was delicious. Tess was very welcoming and made us fresh scrambled eggs and toast. There were fruit, fresh pastries, coffee, juice, everything you need. And to have a breakfast with a view of the sea and the church was just dreamy!

    Our stay in Casa Ministro was lovely. The host is very nice and helpful. The appartment and the terrace are spacious, and very confortable. The view over Positano is spectacular. Everything is designed with attention to detail. The air conditioning is quiet, the kitchen is well equipped. The 2 bathrooms are very nice. There is a Information sheet with recommendations for activities, services and restaurants, which is also helpful. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the Casa Ministro. :-)

    This was probably the cleanest hotel room I every stayed at. Additionally it is designed in the typical Positano / Amalfi style which makes it absolutely lovely. The hosts were as well nice and friendly, what makes it a perfect stay. From the terrace one has a nice view over the sea and Positano. In approx. 25 minutes walking distance you are in the center of Positano.

    Our stay at the villa was unforgettable, like Mrs. Amalia and her family. She hosted us so warmly, her breakfast is beyond all expectations, all-natural products from her garden. The place is heaven on Earth; the view, the garden, and interior design! Unlike the noisy and crowded Positano by the sea, here you will find peace, nature, the true local beauty. We can't wait to come back with our whole family. Linda & Joseph
