Amazing stay in Positano
We had an incredible time in Villa Fernanda. Checkin was a breeze and the apartment was so comfortable- as advertised. Our family of five was so relaxed. The location is great- it’s near several great restaurants and not so far from the beach. Thank you Maria for all your help. Ciao!

Located in a tranquil part of Positano, near grocery, restaurants and with easy access to the beach, Villa Fernanda is an oasis in an already idyllic town. Spacious enough to welcome a family, with enough separation of space to allow individuals to pursue different activities, it was the perfect home base for our time on the Amalfi Coast! Very convenient, a wonderful property, and very service-oriented.

The hosts were so very gracious and hospitable
The hosts were so very gracious and hospitable... The villa was immaculate. The space was PERFECT for our needs - family of 5 with adult children - 3 full bathrooms - fantastic water pressure and comfortable beds!!! The location SUPERB - about 30 steps up to one street and more down to next, but that's how the entire town is - just be ready for MANY steps throughout but then you can eat what you want! Overall, this location was walk-able to everything we wanted to do within Positano like shopping and restaurants and beach. The VIEWS... Were absolutely breathtaking - 4 terraces that we couldn't get enough of! Even one of the bathrooms had a view to die for! HIGHLY recommend - we cannot wait to go back! Yes, I will book again! Not cheap, but for our needs this vacation where we pulled out all the stops, it was well worth it!

Villa Fernanda is spacious, and we enjoyed the views from the multiple terraces. The house is easily accessible from the road above and a great location close to shops, restaurants and bus stop. Excellent customer service and communication response time from Luca and his team. The recommendations for ground transportation and the boat were excellent as well.

Villa Fernanda exceeded our expectations and more than met our requirements. On the other hand, considering the cost, we would have been disappointed if it was not so. Overall we are glad we stayed there. Summer In Italy's service was very efficient and they were always ready and available to answer any questions in a friendly manner. I would definitely recommend them as a holiday rental agency.

Villa Fernanda was GORGEOUS! Lots of space for 7 of us. Beautifully appointed with all the modern conveniences we needed. The manager (during our stay) and Summer in Italy (before our stay) were both fantastic for information and if we had any questions during our stay. We will stay at Villa Fernanda again without question. Summer in Italy had a wonderful selection of villas to choose from. Super responsive and answered all questions imaginable. Great service! Thank you!

Our family very much enjoyed our stay at beautiful Villa Fernanda
Our family very much enjoyed our stay at beautiful Villa Fernanda. The view from the terrace and balconies was spectacular and the location was excellent — close to small neighborhood shops and restaurants and walking distance to the heart of Positano. Villa Fernanda is very well-maintained and the recent renovations to the property are impressive. We booked Villa Fernanda through Summer In Italy. Luca was our Summer In Italy contact. He was exceptionally helpful and provided much useful information regarding our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The villa and location were perfect! Just wish we could have stayed longer! The villa had very easy access (not too many steps). Working with Summer In Italy was a wonderful experience, they were so helpful and responded very quickly to all of my questions and gave superior support. Summer In Italy could not have been better to work with. We had rented a villa from them during COVID and they were so nice and easy to work with in getting us booked back into a villa once it was over. They went above and beyond helping with questions such as directions, buses, car service, etc. I would definitely use them again.

Wonderful service and communication. Thank you for helping to make our first trip to Italy so memorable!

Villa Fernanda is a magical place
Villa Fernanda is a magical place. The location is excellent, with spectacular views. The home is beautifully decorated, well laid out and very spacious. The multiple outdoor spaces have divine views. The host's mother Rosetta was an absolute delight. In fact our most wonderful memory of Positano. We were welcomed with such heartfelt graciousness we felt we were part of the family. Villa Fernanda is an amazing home ! Can’t wait to return . Summer in Italy is a professional and well run rental agency . Throughout, the booking process, rebooking because of COVID Luca and his staff were responsive, knowledgeable and a delightful. Many thanks.

Villa Fernanda is a glorious respite in Positano
Villa Fernanda is a glorious respite in Positano. There is ample space and the different terraces allow for both group gatherings and private moments. The villa is beautifully decorated with stylish and comfortable furniture, original artwork, and fragrant plants (jasmine!). There were lemon trees with ripe fruit for the picking. Our stay was easeful and enjoyable thanks to them. Next time, I'll stay for longer! Giancarlo and Rosetta [the owner] were attentive and responsive hosts. Summer In Italy did an excellent job. They were in communication with us often prior to the trip and followed up afterward. They instilled confidence that our stay would go smoothly. And it did.

What a spectacular place to call home for a visit to Positano
What a spectacular place to call home for a visit to Positano! The home is very well appointed, lacking nearly nothing and if you needed it, all you had to do was ask and it would appear! All of the furnishings are comfortable and clean and there was plenty of space for the 7 of us to enjoy each other’s company or find a quiet place to retreat. Although the villa’s location involves lots of stairs to the beach and main shopping areas, we viewed that was a good thing because we walked off our pasta and other delicious foods. It was very easy to book Villa Fernanda, the follow-up prior to arrival was outstanding, and to be greeted by Giancarlo himself [the owner] was very comforting as you knew you were in great hands. Summer In Italy will be my “go to” site for booking villas and places to stay in Italy. My contact Luca made it very easy and worked with me the entire way. He not only helped me pick the best villa for my family, he also gave me wonderful advice on things to do in the area and where we might like to spend our time since we were coming early in the season (April - which is nice and quiet and beautiful).

We were a group of 6 that had the pleasure of staying at Villa Fernanda for 5 nights in mid-September. The house is like new, and spotless. The views are simply spectacular and we enjoyed sitting out on the terrace every morning with our coffee. It was quite warm while we were there, but there was AC, so we stayed nice and cool. The beds were very comfortable, and my son, who slept on the pull-out couch had no complaints! Everyone had their own bathroom, which was ideal. We ate out for all our meals, but the kitchen seemed to have everything you might need to prepare your own meals. We usually ran out to get a cappuccino up the street. We stayed nearby for dinner and there are lots of great restaurants to choose from within walking distance. After hiking up and down the streets and stairs of Positano all day, we didn't feel like venturing back down to the beach-side restaurants! The house is fairly high up on the hill from the beach area, but we liked being away from the crowds. It seemed like the closer you got to the beach, the more touristy things became, with crowds to match. This has to be one of the nicest rentals in Positano. There are many beautiful hotels, too, but if you are traveling with a group, don't hesitate to book Villa Fernanda. We had such a wonderful time; it was hard to leave those amazing views! We were greeted by Giancarlo's mother, Rosetta, who was so sweet and welcoming after a long day of traveling. We would definitely book again if we ever return to Positano. Thanks! I was very impressed with Summer In Italy service and would highly recommend them. Their service was top-notch. Luca and the whole staff were so helpful, friendly and accommodating. They always responded quickly to whatever question I might have, before and during our trip (taking into account the time difference, of course). We hope to travel to Italy again someday, so now that I have your number, I will be sure to contact you! :) Thanks again! You're the best!
