Breathtaking views of Positano
We had a great stay at Positano. This apartment was unique as it had two balconies with a small private balcony coming off the upstairs bedroom. The kitchen was well appointed and the lounge was very comfortable if you wanted to relax inside. Of course we spent a lot of time on the balcony at the end of the day looking out over Positano and enjoying a wine. Transport was easy as the local bus stopped at the Grotto and then could catch it up to the top of the hill and then catch a SETA bus to the other towns along the Amalfi coast.

We were there in early October
We were there in early October. The apartment is well equipped, clean and very fresh with large spaces, a fantastic terrace with morning sun and a terrace overlooking the sea on the other side. There are 95 stairs from the street but it did not bother us at all. It is normal here and good to get rid of all the calories after the delicious dishes enjoyed at the many nice restaurants of Positano. The host, Giuliana, was very friendly and attentive providing many tips. We would love to go back to Positano and the Amalfi Coast and stay at Casa Valina again.

Casa Valina is a comfortable charming apartment very well located
Casa Valina is a comfortable charming apartment very well located. The view from the terrace is exceptional! It has all the essentials you need from dishwasher, washing machine, hair dryer etc… It could use a few more glasses in the kitchen. It can sleep 4 people as there are 2 single beds put together in each bedroom. One of the bedrooms, the one by the living room has no window to the outside which is too bad, but not super indispensable. The upstairs bedroom is the best with it’s own private little terrace as well. Over all, a very nice little apartment and the owner, Guliana, and the whole crew that takes care of Casa Valina are very nice and helpful. I would rent it again in the future! Summer in Italy have been great! Everyone I’ve dealt with have been very helpful and gave very clear directions. They even helped us book a car with a driver to and from Naples to the property. You can ask them anything, and they are always willing to help! They are very accommodating!

The owner Giuliana and her daughter were such gracious hosts
The owner Giuliana and her daughter were such gracious hosts. She met us at our parking garage and walked with us to our villa. Her daughter was able to translate English. Giuliana and her daughter told us a lot about Positano and there was a big booklet of suggestions in the living room for us. The house was clean and large for our family. We cooked dinner in the beautiful kitchen a couple of nights. And enjoyed the view of the town from the kitchen windows and patio. There’s a washer for clothing on the outdoor patio and a line to dry with clothe pins. Giuliana provided beach chairs. We were close to the restaurants and beaches and shopping. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Summer in Italy was very good. They sent us emails regarding our reservation. They also acted as a liaison when we had questions about parking our car in a nearby parking garage. They were wonderful!

Casa Valina
Giuliana’s villa was clean, comfortable and close to restaurants. The view was amazing from the balcony and other areas of the house. She and her daughter Valentina were very helpful and gracious. They met us at our parking garage when we arrived and brought us to the villa. They told us about the town of Positano and gave us a lot of helpful information so that we could enjoy our stay. They were wonderful, welcoming hosts. Thank you so much Giuliana and Valentina! xo

Amazing views! Gorgeous home!
We loved our stay in Positano! Guilana’s home is perfect for a family of 4. The view is magnificent. Lots and lots and lots of steps. If you have lots of luggage you can hire a porter. We did it on our own but it could be a challenge for some. To get to the main beach, Spaggia Grande, was a 20 min walk (and around 505 steps). There are plenty of restaurants and a small market nearby if you don’t want to walk to the main beach area every day! There is a closer beach, Il Fornillo, that had about 400 steps to climb. And jellyfish...three of us got stung. Beware! (We didn’t see any jellyfish at Spaggia Grande) House was clean, well-equipped, and the AC worked perfectly. Guilanna was kind enough to mail us a small stuffed animal left behind at her place as well. A+++ stay. Just make sure you’re in shape enough to experience Positano and all the steps!!

What a find
What a find! Our hostess, Giuliana was amazing! The villa had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. She gave us her cell phone number and we could text her with any questions or problems (we had none). The location is wonderful -- the view sensational! We can't wait to go back. Summer in Italy was wonderful to work with -- detailed, communicative, and their accommodation was wonderful.

This is a beautiful house
This is a beautiful house. We were very comfortable for the week we stayed here. The bathrooms were updated and kitchen had everything we needed. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, so the location is wonderful. There is a bus stop nearby which made getting around very convenient. Giuliana [the owner] was wonderful to work with. Beautiful house and well cared for, thanks for allowing us to stay at your place. We loved Positano! Summer In Italy is a great company to work with. Very responsive to any questions I had. I would not hesitate to use them again! I highly recommend!

Casa Valina was beautiful
Casa Valina was beautiful. Very well maintained and well taken care of. The terrace overlooked Positano and the surrounding mountains. Absolutely gorgeous view. It was extremely comfortable and quiet, but in a great location. We parked our car upon arrival and didn't move it until we left. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, the beach, the ferry, local and regional buses. Lots of steps, but that's just Positano and the the entire Amalfi Coast. You couldn't choose a better location. It's a beautiful property we'd recommend to anyone going to the Amalfi Coast! Giuliana [the owner] was a fantastic hostess. When the gas ran out early one morning, she was there in 10 minutes to replace it! She showed us through the house upon our arrival, walking us through all the appliances, etc. The properties represented by Summer In Italy all looked great and we made a great choice.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Valina
We enjoyed our stay at Casa Valina. The location was nice, a bit high up in the town. Lots of steps! But we knew that. The view from the main terrace off the living room was mostly of the opposite side of the town but to the right there was sea view. The view was more expansive from the smaller terrace off the upstairs bedroom. Wi-Fi worked fine. Air conditioning was fine. The kitchen could be a bit better equipped but we managed. All in all a nice stay. Particularly we liked Mrs. Giuliana, the owner. She was very helpful. This booking with Summer In Italy went very smoothly. Thank you.

Casa Valina was very clean, the kitchen and bathrooms modern
Casa Valina was very clean, the kitchen and bathrooms modern. We had good Wi-Fi reception. The view was absolutely beautiful. We sat on the terrace whenever we were at the house. We never used the living room. We had been dreading the 95 steps to the house which we had read about however this turned out to not be an issue at all. I do recommend using the porters to carry the luggage. I recycle at home however the recycle program in Positano was very detailed and complicated. In addition, they pick up glass, paper, organic, aluminum each on different days of the week. I was very satisfied with the services provided by Summer In Italy and have already recommended them to friends.

Casa Valina was great. The home was very clean, spacious, charming, and had a fantastic view. It is in a perfect location towards the top of the hill, near to shops and restaurants, one of them being 'Restaurant Next2' which we enjoyed very much. We enjoyed staying at Casa Valina and recommend staying there if 95 steps don't bother you. It certainly didn't bother me. We would definitely stay there again! Giuliana, the owner, was very warm and helpful. She was available to answer all our questions about where to go and how to get there.

Cute place, but not perfect
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Casa Valina, however there were some things that we think future guests might like to know. First, the home is pretty high up on the hillside (which makes for terrific views) but requires a lot of climbing to reach. Also, we booked Casa Valina for two couples, and we found the home to be a little small for four, and since the bedrooms are right on top of each other with no door to the upstairs bedroom privacy became an issue. And also, the lower bedroom has no windows, which our guests found claustrophobic and uninviting. We did enjoy spending our time on the terrace, the kitchen was serviceable, and all the appliances worked just fine. And the restaurants just down the winding street were some of the best we encountered in Italy. Overall, our experience was good, next time we'll book a space more accommodating for two couples.

Happy at Casa Valina
Casa Valina was great. It was in a perfect location towards the top of the hill, near to shops and restaurants, one of them being 'Next To' which we enjoyed very much. The home was very clean, spacious, charming, and had a fantastic view. Giuliana, the owner, who we spoke to before we arrived suggested she get us a porter to bring our bags up the 95 stairs at a cost of 10 Euro each bag. That was definitely a good idea and we were very impressed with the man (I am sorry, I don't remember his name) who carried our bags 2 at a time - wow!. Giuliana was very warm and helpful. She was available to answer all our questions about where to go and how to get there. Everyday we enjoyed the scenic walk down towards or to the beach. We used the sidewalk rather than the stairs where we got a chance to visit the shops or stop in somewhere for a macchiato. Getting back from the beach area, we'd take the bus. We never waited for it more than a few minutes. Of course, if you're game, you can always take the stairs or walk the road up. We enjoyed staying at Casa Valina and recommend staying there if 95 steps don't bother you. It certainly didn't bother me. We would definitely stay there again.

The villa exceeded our expectations
The villa exceeded our expectations. Very clean throughout. The kitchen was well equipped and very large with a table and four chairs. The terrace overlooking the town also had a table and four chairs as well as a washing machine and clothesline. There are two bedrooms and they had queen size beds. One bedroom with full bathroom off the living room while the other was upstairs with full bathroom and its own terrace at the back. The manager, Giuliana, was extremely helpful with advice on restaurants and tourist attractions. There are a number of stairs (95 in total and we counted them) to reach this villa so it is not for those with mobility challenges. It would be a great venue for a family. Summer in Italy handling of our payments and providing meeting arrangements with the owner eased any anxiety we had about travelling in Italy. The newsletters were very helpful. We found the property listing through VRBO Vacation Rentals By Owner but will definitely use Summer in Italy to search our next Italian destination.

Breathtaking View of Positano
This property exceeded our expectations. The photos were accurate but the actual villa was so much more. There is a large bedroom off the main floor with its own full bathroom. There is a queen size bed but also room for a single bed if a family required it. The living room is spacious with comfortable sofa and two lazy-boy chairs for reclining. The room is spacious with a desk, large screen TV and French doors onto the terrace. The view of this part of Positano from the terrace is fabulous. The terrace is roomy with a table and four chairs for dining outside. There is a washing machine on the terrace as well and clotheslines to hang clothes to dry the Italian way extended from the terrace. Also off the terrace one can access the kitchen which is also roomy with a table and up to six chairs for inside dining. The appliances include a gas stove top, full size fridge and freezer, oven and dishwasher. Lots of counter space and cupboards and fully equipped with dishes, cutlery, pots and pans. That is the main floor but there is a bonus- an upstairs large bedroom with queen bed and its own full bathroom. Lovely and bright this bedroom has French doors too with a small terrace. The whole villa was extremely clean and the owner was pleased to come by after a week and change the towels and bedsheets. Giuliana was very helpful in providing advice on where to eat and what to see and how to get there. She would be very pleased to answer any questions one might have about this property if you contact her at: raffaele@alice.it This property is located in the quieter portion of the town near Fornillo beach. Shopping is more concentrated in the town centre. There is a local bus that tours the town every half hour which is handy. You can also take the local SITA bus to the neighbouring towns along the Amalfi coast for a very reasonable price. Getting to this property from the town centre where the port is located is a bit of a walk but there is a porter service for hire to transfer luggage if needed. Lots of local restaurants to the enjoy the regional cuisine which is very much about fish and seafood as well as pasta and pizza. Saraceno D'Oro is a family-run restaurant near this property which became a favourite. There is both inside and street side dining options. Final note: there are 95 steps from the street to the villa and the last 25 are quite steep and deep. You get used to it.

Casa Valina is a gem
Casa Valina is a gem. It's a (newer) constructed, clean and nicely laid out 2 bedroom; especially nice top floor privacy. The top floor bedroom boasts a nice lookout and the living room has an even greater view, as well. It is out of the hub bub and more quiet than if you rent a place lower down. The bus delivers you right to the doorstep (ha, almost!). There are 3 flights of stairs to climb with the last one being the steepest before landing inside. It's not all that bad but if you have a disability this place is probably not for you. The jaunt down to the beach right below is a nice walk down but a slower walk up! It's an easy walk to Positano "downtown" and there are restaurants very near by the villa and of course, even more below. We enjoyed our stay. Owner very nice and helpful. Summer In Italy were excellent, very responsive.
