UNBELIEVABLE!!! INCREDIBLE!! AMAZING! Can't describe how fantastic this accomodation is in under 500 words. I have never met such friendly, hospitable people in my entire life. Truly felt apart of this family for the short stay and it was very saddening to leave. The pictures do not do this house justice. A grand house in a beautiful, quiet garden setting. The house was impeccably clean and well looked after. Every day the lovely cleaner would clean the whole house, including your own personal quarters. The breakfast was a delectable feast every morning and always welcomed by a smile. The location is definition not in the heart of the naples for sure, but positioned in a beautiful, more tranquil area, which I personally prefer. The historic Herculaneum is only a 15 min walk away, and the local train is a 10 minute walk away and can be utilised to get to other sites such as Sorrento and Pompeii - 15 min train to napoli centrale!.I am eternally grateful for the six day experience. Grazie mille to Mimo, Francesco and Emma! I hope to be back soon!

If you'd like to experience old world charm with all the comforts of the present stay with Emma! The house is beautiful and walking distance to great resturants and sights. Highly recommended!

This was the perfect place for a single girl traveling alone. I had my own little apt in their home and felt very safe walking around the area for dinner, shopping, sightseeing and access to the trains. Highly recommended.

Had a great, short stay in one of the upstairs bedrooms at San Gennariello B&B. The rooms were great, and the villa was better. The breakfasts were delicious and served out in the beautiful courtyard. The AC worked very well. The WiFi worked well but was not available in the rooms. Be aware: there isn't too much in Ercolano or in the neighborhood of the B&B. A 10 minute walk will get you to the Circumvesuviano train, which will get you to Naples or to Pompeii (or, I suppose, down to Sorrento). Things to note: * The Circumvesuviano train is extremely convenient but it stops running from Naples back to Ercolano at about 22:00. (There is a slower bus system which also makes this trip.) * Taxis in this area can be more expensive than you'd expect, especially after midnight. If you go to dinner at a restaurant in the neighboring port town of Portici, be prepared for a €15 ride or a 25 minute up-hill walk. Even with these two "snags", we had a great stay and I would totally recommend it.

This great, charming old villa full of antiquities makes for a perfect base to explore the region. Friendly hosts, good breakfast, morning views on Mnt. Vesuvius. Really recommended!

Our stay with Emma and her family (husband and son) concluded our honeymoon trip on a good note. They were warm and friendly despite the language barrier and made us feel right at home. The villa is as big as it looks in the photos and the room we stayed in was big and airy with our own private toilet which Emma helps to tidy every morning after we leave the villa for sight-seeing. They also came to our rescue twice. Once in Naples city when we got stranded after the train drivers had gone on strike and the other time when we got lost after having dinner in the neighborhood. How grateful were we! The villa is located in the town of Portici, a safe town where the locals are equally warm and helpful towards us even though we were one of the few Asians living there. It is also within walking distance from Ercolana and a few train stations from Pompeii. But it will take slightly longer to get to naples city as you would need to take the train before switching to a metro and the waitin time fo these trains can be as long as 20mins. Despite this, we will definitely stay with Emma again if we visit naples because of the wonderful experience we had!

My girlfriend Hanna and I spent the last two full days of our July trip to Italy in Naples and wanted to concentrate on things outside the city centre; Ercolano, Vesuvius and Capri. For all these things Emma's BnB looked like a great choice and turned out to be just that - only the trip to Capri required more extensive travel. The whole family was very welcoming, though most of our communication on-site was with Francesco (Emma's son) who was a wonderful host and helped us with getting around. Portici seemed like a small place on the map and we found the BnB without problems, but for outsiders like us having Francesco point out great places to eat or how to get to Vesuvius was immensely valuable and saved us a lot of time. We stayed in the "dependance", a separate flat with its own entrance. There wasn't need to use the air conditioning as the room remained acceptably cool during the night even as the daytime temperature hovered around +33C throughout our stay (we were out during the day). The breakfast was delicious and filling and even my gluten-free needs were taken care of! We wholeheartedly recommend Villa San Gennariello.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely and spacious home. We enjoyed a beautiful meal at a local restaurant, and were able to walk to everything that we wanted to see. Our hosts made us feel like family and welcomed us into their home and provided us with maps and information about the area. We had the most delicious breakfast out on the terrace and would recommend this unique and historic place.

GianLuigi could not have been more welcoming: swift communications, collection at the port, even a drive to the nearest town for us to shop before weekend closing. Apartment and villa were both lovely. Do be aware that the villa -- although very private -- is not in the coutryside.

We had a great time at Gianluigi's place. The villa is beautifully situated and Gianluigi is a great host. He picked us up at the port and helped us out with useful information on the way to the house. In the villa you'll have everything you need and the family is so sweet by offering you some of the best food from the garden. The figs were amazing! The villa is situated in a gated setting, which is nice and enables you to park a car or scooter in a safe environment which can be nice with the traffic situation ;) If you are looking for a great host and a private place, go here!

Bellissima vacanza in un'isola e appartamento incantevoli! L'appartamento e la villa sono stupendi e tenuti in maniera impeccabile. Gli alberi da frutto, la verdura dell'orto (che puoi raccogliere e consumare), la simpatia di GianLuigi hanno reso la vacanza indimenticabile. Grazie ancora! It was a wonderful holyday in a delightful apartment on a wonderful island! The apartment and the villa are lovely and kept in very good conditions. The fruit trees, vegetables (you can pick them and use to cook or eat) the pleasant nature of GianLuigi made this holyday unforgettable. Thanks again!

This was a lovely place for a vacation - the apartment was exactly as it is in the pictures, kitchen and bathroom came stocked with a few essentials, the bus system made it very easy to get around the island from here, and GianLuigi was very available to me via text for the entire stay - quick to respond to any question that I had :) Very enjoyable stay overall

The property is absolutely beautiful it’s been very well renovated and our apartment, attached to the main villa was fantastic. It’s a one bedroom very comfortable, and with all equipment you may need; we particularly enjoyed the terrace in front of the apartment. Even if it is an annex to the main villa we had complete privacy. Gian Luigi has been a great host, very friendly and welcoming. He picked us up at the port then drove us back when we left, he gave us many good tips to visit Ischia (you have to taste the mozzarella from the shop next door!), there were coffee in the cupboard, a bottle of local wine in the fridge, etc. lovely details that make the difference. We definitively recommend that place for your future stay in Ischia. Thank you again Gian Luigi, we hope to come back some time soon!

THANK YOU so much for sharing your home with us. We had the time of our lives as we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and I couldn't think of a better place or a nicer place that your villa to celebrate it at. The villa was beautiful. It was gorgeous. It was super clean. The bathroom was roomy. The king size bed made all the difference in the world! The villa's location made it easy for us to get around by foot and bus. The bus lines run about every 15 minutes less than 100 yards from the villa's front (and back) gate. Our host couldn't have been nicer and was available at a moments notice! He was truly one of the sweetest people we came across! I can't wait to rent this villa again and to see our host again! This is a MUST!!!!! Ciao

We had a wonderful time on Ischia. The apartment is beautiful and spacious, GianLuigi is a fantastic host and nothing is too much trouble. I also particularly enjoyed cooking (in a really well equipped kitchen) and eating the delicious fruit and veg that grow in the garden. It's a real escape coming here. Thank you!

The most amazing location, rooms, food, and staff. I could not have asked for anymore. This villa is an ideal base for a Ischia Holiday. My friend and I stayed for 6 nights. We enjoyed cooking with the fruits and vegetables from the bio garden, doing yoga exercise on the terrace every morning. We went to Maronti Beach, St Angelo, Baia di Sorgeto and Giardini Poseidon Terme, everywhere is easy to access from this apartment by bus and water taxi in the reasonable fare. I feel the history of the antique villa constructed in 17-18 century though the rooms are renovated beautiful, modern and clean. I also feel this villa's site is so purified because there are many fireflies in the garden. Sometimes the fireflies came into the room ( I tried to take them outside, but it was (URL HIDDEN) was the first experience for me to fall asleep in the glow of the firefly. GianLuigi and the staffs are so kind and helped me a lot. He presented me potatoes when I firstly hesitated to pick the vegetables in the garden. And he brought me some bottles of mineral water when I forgot to buy on the weekend (Off course I supplied the new mineral water to the refrigerator when I checked out). I found the oranges the gardener left for me on the outside table when I came back the villa so tired. Many thanks to GianLuigi and all staff. It is very difficult to find any bad points of this villa. I strongly recommended all the people loving Ischia to stay here. And I am hoping that this place will never change. 最高の立地、部屋、食べ物、そしてスタッフ。私にはこれ以上望むことはありせんでした。このヴィラはイスキアでの休暇に理想的な拠点です。私と友人はここに6泊し、ビオの自家菜園で採れた野菜で料理を楽しみ、毎朝テラスでヨガをしました。マロンティ海岸やサンタンジェロ、ソルジェート湾、ポセイドン温泉公園に行きましたが、どこも手頃な運賃のバスと水上タクシーでアクセスしやすかったです。 部屋は美しく近代的にきれいに改装されていますが、17~18世紀に建てられたというこの古いヴィラの歴史を感じます。また、ここの敷地は浄化されているとも感じました。それは、庭にたくさんの蛍がいたからです。ときどき蛍は部屋の中に入ってきて(私は外に出そうとしましたが、難しかったです)、蛍の光の中で眠るのは初めての経験でした。 ジャンルイジさんとスタッフはとても親切で私をたくさん助けてくれました。最初、私が庭の野菜を採るのを遠慮していたら、彼はジャガイモをプレゼントしてくれました。私が週末にミネラル・ウォーターを買うのを忘れたときは、持ってきてくれました(もちろんチェックアウトの時に冷蔵庫に新しく補充しておきました)。疲れて帰ってきたら、外のテーブルに庭師の人が私のために置いていってくれたオレンジをみつけたこともありました。ジャンルイジさんとスタッフには感謝の気持ちで一杯です。 このヴィラについて悪い点をみつけることは難しいです。イスキアを愛するすべての人にここに滞在することを強くお勧めします。そして、この場所がいつまでも変わらないことを願っています。

domenico and his parents were really nice.the appartement was close to the sea and in the city center.we loved our stay

What a nice stay! The apartment is located in a quiet side street in the heart of Santa Maria de Castellabate, very close to the sea and to all the restaurants and shops. It is in the house of Domenico's parents, which are incredibly warm, attentive and helpful just as Domenico himself. We had a problem with our car and received so much more help than you could ask for. We are very happy to have been the first guests in this very pleasant furnished and totally new apartment - you will enjoy it!

We had a wonderful holiday in the appartment of Domenico in St. Maria di Castellabate. The appartment is cosy, with a nice balcony, where you also can see through the surrounding houses to the sea. It is fully equiped and the wifi worked fine. The beach is a two minutes walk away and the water is just beautiful. Domenico's parents were more than accommodating and welcomed us very much. Domenico arranged also transportation to and from the train station in Agripoli. So we really enjoyed our stay very much. Hope to see you again!!!

Our stay here was delightful from the first moment we set foot in the property. Domenica's parents had made us fresh biscotti and coffee and showed us the ins and outs of the apartment. Throughout the stay they brought us cake daily and treated us as one of the locals. We would 100% stay here again, and when we come back to get married in Santa Maria in September we will come to say hello again. The perfect hosts and we didn't want to leave.

We stayed at the house of Domenico's parents. They where very very very kind people. Despite the language barrier - they don't speak English - we managed to communicate. They made homemade marmelade and treats for us and even when we left they gave us a little present. We felt so much like home, the best airbnb experience so far. The appartment was very clean and nice located. The mainstreet and the beach are both a 2 minute walk. We highly recommend this place!

We had a fantastic stay here. The apartment is attached to domenico's parents house, it's very clean, and has all the facilities you need. It's a perfect location, a 2 minute walk to both the beach and the centre of town. Lia, Domenico's mother was so welcoming and kind. She provided us with local biscuits on arrival and made us coffee. The next day she brought us some of her delicious birthday cake and gave us a lovely gift of dates to take away. I could not re comment this place more. I will definitely return if I ever find myself in this beautiful region again!

Perfect location in the hear of st. Maria, the apartment is well furnished with a nice little balcony. We would definitely stay again. Also Domenico's parents were very helpful and friendly.

Fantastic!!! Perfect Hosts to a perfect vacation, everything was as described and exceeded our expectations! Everything we needed was at the suite, Domenico was always available if we had questions and his parents Lia and Franco made us feel at home (wish I knew proper Italian for better communicating with them)! Location is perfect, just a few short minutes walk to the beach and promenade, many great near by restaurants and shopping all within walking distance. Truly a charming little town with many popular sites within a short driving distance. Lia kept bringing us the occasional fruits, homemade baked goods and dishes she made. A great experience to the local cuisine. We hope to go back again in the near future, Thank you!

Marco was a great host. Ready for any eventuality. His place is in a nice neighborhood, a short walk from the funicular. Nice view from the balcony. Being on a main street is a positive- taxis coming by all day long, and no noise with the double glazed windows. We had a terrific time.

Beautiful apartment in a nice spot in Napoli. We got the chance to meet Marco on the day of our departure, but the rest of the time he was constantly available via airbnb/text. He was very friendly and gave us some very nice tips! Our tip; go to Capri as well, it's a very beautiful island (touristic in June/August but still worth it). We loved our stay! Marco; thanks again for everything!

Me and my wife visited Naples first time, we were little bit nervous because we often heard about this city danger, dirty and not very good for sightseeing. But we want to explore this historical city, so I found out Marco's house in airbnb and directly made reservation. In fact, his house doesn't locate near the city center as well as central station, but if you reach to his house you can feel very comfortable and see spectacle view of Naples. And also actually you can reach to city center and tourist interests in just 30 minutes by walk if you want to. We were deeply moved by nice and very very clean flat, excellent view (as we can see in airbnb photos) and, most of all, Marco's kindness and hospitality! First time we met him in front of the house, he explained us how to use his house, how to enjoy Naples and surprisingly gave us two kinds of Naples' traditional bread(sfogliatelle, baba?)~ For 2 nights, we had a very good time in Naples and hope to visit this city again some day. Thank you very much , Marco

We really enjoyed our stay: the apartment is lovely and very well-equipped. The view over the bay is amazing.

Marco was a great host! We didn't have too much interaction during our stay but he kindly had his wife greet us and show us the apartment when we arrived, as well as called a taxi for us on the morning of our departure (this was very helpful!). Mostly we just did our thing and explored the city. The apartment was conveniently located with an amazing view and has all basic necessities (plus maybe even a bit more). Overall, a good experience. Thanks, Marco!

Marco was very responsive to our questions and emails! We had a wonderful time!

This was a lovely apartment, and we always enjoyed returning to it, enjoying the view, the light, and the comfort. Marco was welcoming (a bottle of prosecco!) and helpful in his recommendations. He even arranged a special visit to an archeological site which is rarely open, and helped us find our way there. Our only reservation is that currently the central funicular (the closest public transport) is under repair through (at least) summer 2017. Since the apt is up a steep hill taking some confusing LITTLE streets, this was sometimes confusing and exhausting. We took taxis more than expected. However, we really liked the place, and would recommend it.

Amazing view and beautifully decorated apartment. Marco's place is comfy, cosy and very well equipped. I recommend Marco's apartment.

We spent two nights in Michele's apartment and it was great. The view from the terrace is absolutely spectacular and the apartment was nice and clean. You can reach the town center in about 15 minutes if you walk, and there's also a bus if you don't feel like climbing the stairs. Michele is a terrific and considerate host and he goes out of his way to secure you have a nice stay. We ate at the restaurants he recommended and they were very good.

This is such a great place, large village with unbeatable view of the sea! Michelle was also very helpful, providing the best advices and help! You can't miss this place!

Words cannot adequately describe how wonderful it was staying at Michele's place and what an amazing host he is. I have stayed at several AirBnb's and can confidently say Michele is one of the most generous, thoughtful and considerate hosts I have met. The apartment itself is quaint and boasts a panoramic view of Positano. It is fairly distant from the town center but there is a bus that stops about 8 minutes from the apartment. Take note that you may have to walk quite some steps to get there. There are basic amenities (kettle, heater, fridge, breakfast snacks). Michele was constantly in contact with us during our trip, checking in before and after our hike, which was very sweet. He also gave us good restaurant recommendations and some lemons from his personal stash! Getting to spend some time with him on our last day at breakfast was the highlight of the trip. Grazie, Michele!

Michele (Miki) De Lucia is a fantastic host! He makes every effort to ensure that his guests feel at home. The apartment is very accommodating, generously stocked with food and drinks, and provides majestic views of Positano and the Amalfi Coast. We highly recommend Miki de Lucia and his beautiful apartment to any future traveller. Thanks so much Miki! Maureen and John Malloy

Michele was very welcoming and went all the way to make our trip perfect. He was so kind as to pick us up at the bus station and drove us to the house, showing us the attractions of Positano on the way. The room was beautiful, and the house had everything we needed. The view from the terrace is spectacular. I would recommend Michele's place to everybody visiting this beautiful town.

We stayed one day at his house. Accommodation Location was close to the bus stop. We were the baggage. But he came to pick us friendly. And also it takes you ha ve had. He was attentive, very friendly. The house was large and clean. Views is very good. There was something more. The bread and wine were also prepared for us. We spent a very happy time. Too bad we can not stay more. He was the best person we met during the Italian. It will remain a long memory. You meet him, go to his house it would be very lucky. He and his house is strongly recommended.

Michele was a very welcoming host and helped us get situated. He even made a dinner reservation for us and showed us to the restaurant. The apartment was better than advertised---what a view!

Michele was very welcoming and helpful... even before we got there, he made sure we had exact directions. He met us on a street corner that was easy to find and directed us in the car to the apartment, and helped us locate parking. The apartment was all set up with enough food for breakfast, and hot drinks, and he even left us a bottle of wine. We stayed in early February and it was quite cold. Michele provided heaters for the bedroom and the living/dining room. The view from the terrace is absolutely stunning, up to the mountains above, and down over the town of Positano and the ocean. We love walking and so the many stairs down to the beach and city center were enjoyable, but could be a challenge if you are not in shape for stairs. Michele also recommended a nearby trattoria, C'era Una Volta which was terrific.

Giovanni is a pefect host and a lovely guy who was always reachable for any questions ,advice or recommendations and cared a lot that we felt comfortable and welcome. The house and the setting is so beautiful and peaceful, one can forget the outside world. Full in nature. Giovanni cares very much for his land with loads of vegetables and fruits and olive trees. Fully recommended! Scario (5 minutes reachable by car) is a charming and delightful coast village with friendly people and great restaurants.

We spent 3 beautifull days in this cute house. We had wonderfull time, because the house and its sourandings are in perfect harmony and we had that great feeling like we part of the nature. House is decorated in country style and fully equiped which create a cosy warm atmosphere. Worm recomendation to all interested in different kind of spending vacation. Perfect choice for couples. Only two suggestions: Better bed mattress. Mosquito nets on all windows.

the contact was good by app- messages. The place was very beautiful in middle of nature!! nice old house.

This is a perfect example of an Italian getaway. Can't recommend this more. A small and charming house, surrounded by beautiful landscapes, coupled with such a helpful host - makes it a remarkable holiday experience.

Magic place in the heart of Cilento! If you like nature and remote places this wonderful little fairy tale house is the right thing for you! Giovanni is a great and welcoming host!

it was a very a good week end here, we founded a very nice and pleasant place for forget all and take all the energy who give these amazing little home .. we will be back

Beautiful house. We spent just one night in this place and that's a pity because the area the house is in is just amazing, pretty close to the fisher town of Scario. Definitely recommended!

Giovanni met us in Scario, took us up to the cottage and showed us round, he speaks very good English and was very helpful, and always available to contact should we need anything. The cottage is charming and perfect for a relaxing break.

Excellent location. Antonio was a wonderful host. The home fit 6 of us comfortably. Would highly recommend.

Good moments lived in Sorrento. Host very welcoming and helping with a member of the group whose suitcase was broken. He used his scooter to help us out! Antonio thank you! There was the night noise at the apartment, restaurants are close, music, loops, etc ...

Danilo department is excellent, spacious, comfortable, tastefully decorated, has really beautiful details (lamps, curtains, colors), renovated to new details of calidad.Ubicación best, the historic center of Sorrento, close to everything, harbor, restaurant, supermarket, shops, transport. Danilo did not meet personally but through mails was all this time and his father, Antonio, was very friendly and helpful to us for what we needed. I will recommend it and hope to be back again with my family. Thanks Antonio and Danilo because we spent a wonderful day!

We have just returned from a wonderful four days in Sorrento, where we stayed in Casa Maria. We travelled with our two children (4 years and 16 weeks) and the apartment was absolutely perfect. It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed as many others have already commented in their reviews. It was so central, which we really appreciated. Yes there is some street noise from the main bedroom however it didn't bother us. Our daughter stayed in the bedroom upstairs and wasn't disturbed at all. If staying with small children just need to bear in mind there are two sets of stairs leading up to the apartment so would need to either carry / collapse your buggy but that is really the only thing to consider which is easily overcome.

Yes he made us feel very welcome and the property was exactly as advertised

Danilo and his father made this stay very comfortable for us. The apartment is cozy and is very close to the town center. Danilo's father met us and gave us all the information we needed, he is a very pleasant gentleman. Danilo also went out of his way in helping us deal with a medical emergency and in arranging private transfers.

The apartment is newly renovated and well placed in Sorrento. We were a family of 4 and there was adequate space. My only issue was the wifi. When it did work it was painfully slow. Antonio advised us that they were going to upgrade the service. If wifi is important to you I would confirm that the service was upgraded.

He was super helpful with transport to the airport and the apartment was wonderfully located! Loved our stay

Nice room, great view.

Very nice host and beautiful home with a wonderful view on countryside. I love the Strettole !

The owner was friendly. The house is exctly the photos. Near the house is an olive garden, amagnificent view of the mountains. The villa is situated in a qiet place, but a 5minutes walk from the city center. All recomended!

A short but enjoyable place to stay. The location of this accommodation was wonderful and we were welcomed with a warm and friendly smile. Happy to recommended this place if your in the area.

I can't say enough great things about our stay. The house is great, the room was great, the grounds, views, ambience all great. Elena was fantastic and treated us like her own children. Antonio we met once and is a very nice person. I had to ask for directions as my GPS didn't like the destination (never seems to in Southern Italy). It was easy to find after that. HIGHLY recommended.

Beautiful accommodation with spectacular views The old town is close by and worth a visit ! Hosts were lovely and breakfast was delicious and plentiful

It was a very pleasant stay at B & B Le Strettole. The house is very nice and modern with stunning views. I felt very welcome. Thanks to Antonio's mother, Elena, has never lacked something in the kitchen and the room was cleaned every day clean, better than the hotel. I can absolutely recommend this B & B.

I had already stayed in the house in the center of Calitri Antonio last year and I was in love. Beautiful inside, spacious and comfortable, with a wonderful view over the valley: priceless really. This year I wanted to repeat the experience, so that by staying in Calitri not think there are better accommodations than those offered by Antonio who has kindly made the visit even Strettole. Truly his courtesy and availability (and brother) are indescribable: my every request is fulfilled. If I had to vote it would be the highest honors.

My stay at villa Sofia was amazing! The place is just outside positano however there is a bus that drops you off at the top of the stairs. The place was wonderful-the view was outstanding and luciana and her family were such a great help. They arranged a car pick up service at an amazing restaurant and even though we had to leave at 6 in the morning luciana and her father woke up early to help and arrange our cab ride. They even remembered my birthday and made me a special breakfast! The only thing is that wifi did not work in the room but was fully accessible in luciana's living room. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!!

Our second visit and stayed longer than our first. Villa Sofia is always welcoming,clean,comfortable and good value with the best views of the Amalfi coast without the crowds. We again took the Path of the Gods-sure beats squeezing on a bus to Amalfi and the tourist infested bus station!

We had the most amazing experience at Villa Sofia. Luciana and her entire family were great and so welcoming :) We arrived and had help with our luggage which was great (we should have packed lighter). The views from the place were absolutely breathtaking, by far the most amazing place I have ever stayed! It is about a 25 minute bus ride to/from Positano, but there is a bus that runs every hour that is easy enough to take. There are also a few places closer to eat, La Tagliata was amazing, family style food, more than you can eat/drink for a really great price. Luciana was nice enough to have breakfast every morning for us, which was a great way to start the day. Would most definitely stay here again, we only had 3 nights and that flew by way too fast. Can't wait to come back again! Thanks Luciana for everything!

The flat has been great, the views are very nice from the balcony, the rooms are very clean and convenient. The villa is located in Nocelle Village, which is 2300 steps down from the beach (I stayed with my 3 year old son and we did the walk in 1 hour 20 minutes). You can get the bus which takes about 30 minutes to Positano. Communication, unfortunately, has been a big let down for us - but thanks to Sofia, who has tried to resolve the issues.

Luciana was a lovely host and made us feel very welcome. The views are absolutely incredible and our separate room and balcony was very private. Positano was quite easy to reach on the bus and the 'God's Path' Hike goes right nearby so that was convenient to do. The restaurants who give a free shuttle service from the bnb are also great! I would recommend staying here!

We had an excellent stay and experience at Villa Sofia. It wasn't just a B&B, but a chance to experience life as a Nocelle local. Now Villa Sofia is not for the faint hearted, the infirm or the elderly. But it was an experience neither of us would have missed out on. We took the bus to Nocelle which was high up on the mountain of Positano (buses only run by the hour, so timing is everything). When we were on the bus, we phoned Luciana, who hailed the bus down, so we didn't have to walk the short distance. Now, we had a choice to get our luggage down the steep hill....use the porter (her brother runs a cheap luggage transfer by mule) OR carry your luggage down about 10 steps to a luggage flying fox. This was part one of the incredible experience. Once the luggage was on it's journey down, we proceeded to walk down to the villa via the steps Luciana's grandfather/great grandfather carved into the stone. Luciana then sat us down on the deck (deckchairs and umbrella's) and bought us some welcome homemade lemonade and fresh fruit as it was a hot day. The view was phenomenal. After giving us run down on tourist information, she then showed us our room which was very comfortable and exceptionally clean with adjoining bathroom. Some rooms are airconditioned, but we had a fan and beautiful slat doors which let the fresh breeze in which was more than comfortable. Bed was one of the most comfortable beds we have slept on in Italy. That night, we decided to take the path around the mountain to visit the local supply shop, check out the village of Nocelle and booked in at the local restaurant which was excellent and had a crazy view of the bay of Pozitano. We walked back on the well lit path later that evening. Another night, we brought fresh dried meats (prosciutto etc), a selection of cheeses, fresh crusty bread, local wine and fresh fruit and enjoyed a simple dinner on the deck enjoying the sunset and the view. Breakfast was served on the deck every morning and we enjoyed the selection and the freshly brewed coffee. We were surprised to find our room/bathroom had been cleaned when we returned. We got to see the mules and learnt a lot about life in Nocelle and a bit of history which we really enjoyed. BTW, the water is very drinkable....IF you like fresh mountain water. We enjoyed our Nochelle experience and would certainly recommend it to others who want to experience life like a true Italian resident. Thank you to Luciana and her family. :-)

Villa Sofia is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. Situated at the zenith of two cliffs, with infinity views of the Bay of Naples. Our villa had a rooftop terrace, where Sofia prepared us a snack of homemade limoncello and panettone for sunset. The service was spectacular- Sofia and her family were eager to provide whatever we could want or need. The first night we were tired of driving so they arranged us restaurant reservations at La Tagliata (amazing!) and even drove us there! Breakfast each day was delicious, and they helped us with our luggage and plans so we didn't have to lift a finger. I never expected such personal friendly service, but Sofia and her family treated us like family and made everything perfect. I hope to be back again soon!

Great place! Heavenly views!! The room gave us a lovely view of Positano and the amalfi coast (you can even see Capri) from a nice lovely quaint private balcony with an olive tree :). Luciana was very friendly, very professional and helpful. She welcomed us with a Limoncello and gave us very useful suggestions. The room was very clean and nicely furnished. Overall I highly recommend Luciana and her lovely place.

Spotlessly clean, wonderful views (even from the shower), challenging hiking trails, all with gorgeous meals at the end of the day. Laura met us at the bus stop as arranged but since it was raining, she brought along plastic ponchos for us for our short walk to the apartment. Wow. At our request, she reserved a table for us at Il Ritrovo, and we were treated like royalty. Don't miss walking at least part of the Sentiero deli Dei (Path of the Gods) and also be sure to have dinner at La Tagliata...We bought supplies for the shop next door for dinner and for several lunches, and fully enjoyed the terrace. Enjoy your time at this house, and know that you will planning your next visit while gazing at the view. Thank you Laura!

We wanted to explore the Amalfi coast and Clem's house provided a perfect central base away from the tourist hustle and bustle. We chose this location as a direct result of the positive reviews on airbnb and the house and location exceeded our expectations. We were able to experience life in an Italian village and found the people of Montepertuso to be very friendly and helpful. Clem's house was immaculate and Clem was the perfect host, being available to answer any questions we had but also allowing us our privacy at the same time. We would not hesitate to stay at Clem's house if we were ever to return to this amazing part of the world.

What a beautiful and unexpected experience. Such nice welcoming true professionals yet perfectly warm like family. Explained everything even recommended a phenomjnal restaurant on the hill just above that was Reilly our of this world. Totally responsive and caring. Can't say enough about the comfort and welcoming. Hope u enjoy it like we did... Rick

We stayed 3 nights here. After giving us very clear directions, Laura met us at the bus stop in Montepertuso, and walked with us to the house, which was only a few minutes away. The house is exactly as described, and we absolutely loved staying there!! Very clean, spacious, with 2 delightful balconies to enjoy the incredible view!! The village is small, just one little supermarket, the church, and 4 restaurants. We ate twice at Il Ritrovo, on the corner near the house, and it was honestly the best restaurant we experienced whilst in Italy..beautiful ambiance , service and food!! It was so lovely to return to this quiet village each day, just 10 mins in the bus from the very busy and crowded Positano. Laura explained how to use the washing machine, and we used it twice during our stay, a great help! Please note there are internal stairs in the house over 3 levels, and you do need to supply all your own toiletries, food etc. Would definitely stay here again, highly recommended. Thank-you Laura and Antonio!

The accommodation was clean, simple and homely. The views on the balcony was breathtaking. We arrived from Sorrento and met Antonio at the junction, in which. Laura was very clear and good with instructions regarding where to meet. We experienced car problems and Antonio kindly asked a local mechanic to check the vehicle. Montepertuso is a quaint little village, with some of the best restaurants around. We did the walk to Positano which took 50 minutes at a leisurely pace and stops to take photos of the scenery. Buses were every hour, on the hour which costs 1.30 Euros per person. I would recommend anyone to stay here to experience what living on the mountains of Amalfi Coast truly means. The breathtaking views looking down the valley whilst having breakfast is something which I will cherish and miss. Beautiful area, beautiful home.

Antonio and Laura's place was fantastic. It is located away from the hustle and bustle of Positano, in the lovely Hills behind. The apartment has everything you need and there are some wonderful restaurants and a supermarket within a 1 minute walk. Antonio picked us up and dropped us off at Sorrento station, which was extremely convenient. I would recommend their apartment.

We had a wonderful stay at Clem's house in Montepertuso! The house itself is better than the photos! It is very clean and comfortable and has amazing views of the sea from both balconies. We enjoyed being up the hill from Positano as it was nice and quiet. Clem was the perfect host! She was kind and easy to communicate with. If you stay here, try Ristorante il Ritrovo, they make the best homemade pasta! Thanks again Clem, we hope to be back someday!

Fantastic house and Laura took great care of us during our stay. A perfect place to stay if you want to stay closer to the locals along the Amalfi coast. I highly recommend renting the house and would love to have stayed longer. Thank you for having us Laura.

Perfect! Our stay at Salvatore's place was perfect! We traveled from Rome (termini to naples, the naples circumvesuviana to pompeii, back on the circumvesuviana to sorrento and from sorrento -the sita bus) The traveling was very easy. The Sita Bus picks you up right outside of the train station and the first positano stop brings you very close to the house, there are not many steps to get to it. Positano itself has a lot of steps if you are not taking public transportation. My fiance had a broken foot so we were concerned about the other reviews saying lots of stairs but there are not many stairs to get to the house itself. If you want to go to the beach or anywhere else in Positano and are concerned about steps there is public transportation available at the road which is a few steps from the rental. The rental itself was immaculately clean, included a breakfast!, and had the most amazing views from the back window and the balcony. It was also quiet at night but still very close to a small restaurant (bar internazionale) for convenience. If you are staying in Positano you have to stay here!

Salvatore and Margarita made us feel so welcome and comfortable in Positano! They provided us with coffee, milk, yogurt, fruit, juice, the FRESHEST tomatoes, cakes and crackers to last us through our entire stay. We also walked up the hill to get salumi, wine and cheese to enjoy on the terrace. I highly recommend arriving via car rather than ferry to avoid having to carry luggage all the way up the hill from the ferry port. We did leave via ferry and Salvatore helped us arrange a porter to carry our luggage down for 10 Euro. Worth. every. penny. The place itself feels larger than it is because of the loft, and the view can't be beat. We even did laundry during out stay which worked out great. I would come back to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the picturesque Positano!

The hostess Margherita was very nice and she waiting to greet us when we arrived. The apt is about 5 mins from the SITA Positano stop so its very convenient if you know where you are going but being that its Positano that's not always the case but after about 10 mins of walking around and asking the friendly locals we were eventually able to find the apt. The apt is exactly as described, a loft studio with the living space and bathroom downstairs and a platform bed upstairs, the only thing we didn't realize is that the balcony is shared between 3 apts, not an issue since we were the only apt (the middle one) occupied during our stay but may be a privacy concern when fully occupied. We could tell that the apt has been recently renovated and the hosts were nice enough to leave us wine, juice, breakfast pastries, milk and yogurt. So very thoughtful! One thing to warn is that the house is quite high on the mountains of Positano, so while the walk down is not difficult, walking up is approximately 50+ flights of stairs. We didn't try to get to know the local bus situation so couldn't comment on that but walking up as quite a workout. All in all, a beautiful place where the picture do not do justice to the amazing view!

Salvatore was wonderful. He arranged a car to pick us up from our hotel in Naples and drive us straight to the apartment. The place was very comfortable with plenty of clean towels, dishes and all that you need to make coffee or a meal. They left us yogurt, juice, milk and a bottle of wine in addition to the fresh croissants that Salvatore brings by every morning, which was great. The apartment is close to "Bar International" (which is a bar/coffee place where lots of the locals seem to hang out), the bus stop and 2 small markets where you can find all the essentials. The bus is not very regular with its schedule so we ended up walking most of the time. If you take the stairs its about 10mins to the beach but if you take the road its about 20-25mins but there are lots of cute shops and markets along the way. The air conditioning, washer, stove and toaster oven all worked well. We definitely felt more like locals staying at House Belvedere who could just drop into town as we likes and will be back to Positano ASAP

Perfect little spot for the first stop of our honeymoon. Margarita and Salvatore were great and very accommodating. They had everything available to make us feel comfortable. The place was clean, great location and the view was awesome. The location is one of the higher up apartments (in the main part) but still very walkable into town via a few set of stairways. Takes 10-15 minutes or so to walk down. Best bet we found was to walk down but take the bus back up. For 1.30 euro there is a nice city bus every half hour which is very convenient and will take you back up (2nd stop) takes only 5 minutes. Would certainly recommend!

This place was an amazing place to stay, with a great view and more than enough space for us. It was definetely more than we expected, and convinient, considering that Positano was the main point for us to visit the rest of the Amalficoast. We highly recommend it, our host was easygoing and helpful.

Fantastic views. Very clean. Salvatore was very helpful via message. Margherita met us & was very friendly. Loved the fresh fruit and prosecco on arrival. Would definitely recommend but be warned there are LOTS of stairs to get to the beach & back however bus stop is nearby.

Awesome hosts. A+++

Lovely place, ideal for "detach" a bit '. Very nice and above our expectations. The owners were very kind and helpful all the time. If you go here be sure to visit Paestum, Castellabate and Agropoli same. Recommended!

This place is just so cosy! Amazing views, the apartment is beautifully decorated and don't get me started about the shower! I want one just like that! Michele is a wonderful host, gave me lots of tips on what to do and see. And both thumbs up! This was the first place I stayed in Italy were waste is being separated and recycled. There is lots to do nearby, if you're able to leave the terrace.

Country Vila style reflects the taste of the landlord. We enjoyed the stay in Michele's house. Front yard of the house could provide the space for family relax and for play of children. If you like to spend more time around the house, you could consider to BBQ in the yard. Our family has had wonderful experience of stay.

What a wonderful place to stay. The accommodation was very tasteful furnished and it was a pleasure to stay there. Not only in the apartment but also in the garden respectively the large patio with a view over the vineyard and olive trees. Michele is a great host and it was a pleasure to meet him. Altogether we liked it so much from the very beginning that we extended our stay. We are looking forward to come back. Ingrid & Ulli

Michele was an extremely helpful and kind host. The studio is huge, airy and on a beautiful hillside with a wonderful view. The bed is also super comfy. The wifi connection was a bit difficult and the air conditioning broke when we stayed, but it was okay. The location is a little bit away from everything but within 5 minutes you can drive to a very nice beach. I definitely reccommend going to the national park and walking by the stunning rivers, even though it takes over an hour on windy roads , it's worth it. This is a really lovely place to stay and the price is very good. Thank you!

Michele was a great host. The setting is the perfect place to be after hitting the coast or hitting the ancient ruins. My friend and I were both very happy we chose to stay with him. He also recommended some top notch restaurants in town, that we were very fond of.

Reception friendly and discreet by Michele who made himself available for any eventuality.

Everything was wonderful! Apartment very cool, really want to stay there for longer, but it was already booked another place to live! The owner is very dobrozhilatelny and positive person. Place in which a house has a wonderful atmosphere of relaxation and light-heartedness. I recommend to visit. Separate hi cat Nero!

The apartment is tastefully decorated and everything available necessary. The terrace was a pleasant quiet place. Here we could relax well. Melinda and her parents are SEGR friendly. The receipt by a friend was very nice and it has everything necessary explains. The Beisen dogs were indeed grumpy, but nothing more. Should not discourage a booking. The Umgebing is not particularly beautiful, but that has nothing to do with the apartment. This is the Mount Vesuvius be it. However, those who visit Pompeii, Herculaneum etc. and any long journey would find a quiet place off the beaten track a bit here.

Melinda's husband, Fulvio, came to welcome us at 7:30 in the morning (as we were the ferry) and left available enough to take our breakfasts and pasta and other victuals. Good recommendation pizzeria and booklet teeming with practical information available Parents who live below are charming and always ask about our well-being (in Italian) Large terrace overlooking the sea and Mount Vesuvius. Very quiet since located above the town of Torre Del Greco. Ideal location at the foot of Vesuvius, two minutes from the entrance to the motorway (we recommend to avoid the heavy traffic passing through the town) to reach Pompeii and Herculaneum or Naples. A nice family restaurant.

Great communication, great assistance, great apartment, great views. Would recommend.

A very nice place to stay with max 4 persons. A beautiful view on the Vesuvius. The place itself is quite far away from shops and restaurants.

We loved staying at Fulvio and melinda's! For us this was a chance to stay with locals in the countryside. The home was amazing and you have the 2 nd floor of the home with you're own entrance. An incredibly amazing view of the entire bay of Naples! Fulvio also offered to take us to a few places and made sure we we're taken care of. One of the best experiences we could have had

Melinda & Fulvio had provided us with driving directions beforehand but these would have been hard to follow while driving so we ignored these and relied on our iPhone GPS directions instead which was a mistake because it took us on a very sketchy route north of the house left us at a spot that ultimately turned out to be north of their house since street numbers aren't all logical. Follow their directions and you'll be fine. Nino who checked us in was very warm welcoming but we didn't get any other interaction with the hosts or family after that which was disappointing for us. The view from the balcony was beautiful and they had taken a number of steps to provide for small amenities which was appreciated. They did leave us some printed recommendations for where to eat and we went there. The food was great but be prepared for some driving that is even more crazy than the rest of Italy if you go into Torre del Grecco during rush hour!

We loved everything! The apartment had all you would need and more! The view from the terrace is gorgeous and the perfect place to kick back and relax with some drinks in the evening. Fulvio, Melinda & family were very helpful, the restaurant they recommended Gianna al Vesuvio was delicious! We only wish we had more time in their apartment!

Our stay was great! We arrived on a Sunday when apparently the public transportation is spotty at best so their friend Nino picked us up from the airport for a small fee. He was marvelous, went out of his way to orient us. We didn't get the pleasure of meeting our hosts, but their parents who live in part of the house were very friendly even though we didn't speak Italian. The house itself has a spectacular view and is 110% equipped for self catering.

Enjoyed our stay at Benito's place...excellent location....beautiful town. Apartment small but has everything. It was however a bit quiet at this time of year...a lot of restuarants only opened at week ends.

Apartment small but very nice and clean. Convenient location and because it is central because it is practically on the beautiful beach of Acciaroli. The gracious hosts, helpful and unobtrusive. I highly recommend a holiday in this beautiful apartment.

It's a fantastic place in a very nice town. We enjoyed our stay there a lot. Thank you!

Benito's apartment was a real gem, communication was excellent. His parents welcomed us on arrival. The apartment was lovely, spacious and very clean and fitted the description. Accialroli was very quiet at this time (April) but this really suited us. Thank you Benito for a lovely holiday.

It was a nice clean place with a beautiful view with a very friendly host. If I travel again to Italy , I would definitely book this place again!

We had a very pleasant stay about the apartment and the kindness and helpfulness of the owners. The accommodation is in a beautiful location is very convenient. Unfortunately for the period we chose the country is very sad and unkempt. On the whole, however, apart from having suffered a little bit cold, we loved it.

Benito's house is very cosy and right before the beach! I would recommend it for spring/summer holidays as there's no proper central heating

Beautiful location in the area near the sea and the center. Ideal for those who love tranquility and the sea.
