Reviews of Casa Orazio

Perfect for us

September 2023 - My husband and I not only loved the owners, Davide and Titina, but the apartment had everything you could need/want to relax in or cook meals. Davide shared tomatoes and fresh basil from his garden and we enjoyed his stories from the years he's grown up here. His English isn't perfect, but we were able to communicate fairly well.

Davide has everything you could think of, the only thing we missed was a toaster, but we made do. Other than that, this place is perfect!

If we were ever decide to come back to Positano, we would, without a doubt, stay here.

You guys were fantastic, I loved the emails and whenever I had a question, someone would answer fairly quickly. Great Job and thank you!

Travel tips

Authentic and lovely Positano experience

August 2023 - Staying at Casa Orazio will give you the most authentic and lovely Positano experience.

Davide, our host, was kind and helpful in getting us settled and giving us a few insights and suggestions.

The home is clean and spacious with a gorgeous sea view from the sizeable terrace. There are plenty of amenities to enjoy a cup of coffee at home in the morning or prepare a meal as well. Although the number of stairs you will scale daily is daunting, we loved being away from the tourist traps near town center and the docks because it allowed us to branch out by trying some different restaurants and markets. I would surely recommend this spot to anyone for a stay in Positano, and would personally return for a stay.

Perfect place to stay!

June 2023 - Davide and his wife [the owners] were exceptional hosts and made us feel like family.

We stayed for 2 weeks and traveled thru-out the Amalfi Coast utilizing the bus system for traveling. Everything we needed was close at hand. If you are looking for an authentic experience Casa Orazio is the magical place to stay.

Excellent

July 2022 - Amazing place!

Our one-week stay was wonderful

May 2022 - Our one-week stay at Casa Orazio was wonderful. The house is just as described on the Summer In Italy website. The views from the living room, bedroom and terrace are great. The kitchen is well-equipped and fully functional. The bed and furniture are comfy, the heating works well, and we never felt cramped for space.

The house is very close to Chiesa Nuova and to the "trail-head" (stairs) on Via Corvo for the sentiero that ascends the slope to Santa Maria del Castello. It is a lovely 45-minute walk on Via Corvo to reach Montepertuso. There is a bus stop on the road directly below the house (75 steps down) so you can get to Piazza dei Mulini in less than 10 minutes. Or you can walk there in 10 minutes if you are OK with steps. I walked up from Piazza dei Mulini to the house several times using the stairs, it takes 10-15 minutes.

Davide was an excellent host, helping us arrange for baggage transportation from the ferry pier and providing directions so we could reach the house using the Positano Interno bus. He also guided us on our first trip to the nearby small grocery store " Non Solo Frutta Positano" which provided everything we needed for meals at home. It's 5 minutes' walk, 70 stairway steps up and down.

Summer In Italy provided good communication and service, and the best vacation rental that met our needs at a reasonable price.

Very nice place with good amenities

August 2020 - Great views, easy check-in, very nice place with good amenities.

Right by the bus stop if you are busing from the beach although the walk isn’t too bad.

Perfectly situated for the Positano bus

October 2019 - Beautiful views, perfect place to stay.

Excellent

September 2019 - Great place to stay. Highly recommended!

Stunning views

August 2019 - Take my advice and use the interior Positano bus and don't try to be a hero and walk up the stairs. It's hard. Once you get used to the bus system this apartment is in the perfect location. Close to some local bars and the view is stunning. The view from the private patio is why you get this place.

Excellent

August 2019 - All the guests before us have already said how enjoyable is the house and its terrace, and how kind are Davide and his wife [the owners].

We will add that the house is located in a charming area with a church at the top. The location was perfect to reach the center by bus but also the second beach (Fornillo Beach), on foot in less than 20 minutes all the way down the stairs.

Excellent

June 2019 - Wonderful location. Beautiful view. We had a lovely stay.

Gracious host. Thanks Davide!

Perfect location, lovely hosts

June 2019 - We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the home very much. The location was perfect and the view from the porch was beautiful!

Davide and his wife were lovely hosts, as they helped us with directions, restaurant advice, and tour ideas.

Amazing view of Positano!

June 2019 - Amazing view of Positano! We loved our stay here and would recommend.

Apartment is nice and spacious with all amenities and the balcony view is beautiful! Note there are a lot of stairs if you are planning to walk to the beach/town centre but there are buses available with bus stops very close to the apartment. To get to the apartment you also need to walk up stairs so pack lightly. We walked everywhere and loved our time here. :)

Lovely Apartment High Up In Positano

June 2019 - We had a wonderful stay in Davide and Titina's apartment. They were extremely gracious hosts and the apartment was very comfortable. Having a balcony to sit and enjoy the view was a plus, as well as for hanging laundry. We prepared a couple of meals and found the kitchen to be well-stocked with utensils. Thank you for a memorable stay in beautiful Positano.

An amazing stay

June 2019 - Our stay at Casa Orazio was AMAZING!! There are a lot of stairs but honestly in Positano there aren't many places that do not have stairs.

Davide is an EXCELLENT host, explained all the ins/outs of the area and the place to us at length and even gave us a local history lesson and cooking lesson.

We had so much fun talking and drinking wine on the terrace as well as the space being very clean and the bed and pillows were by far the most comfortable we had during our Italy trip. Thank you Davide for an excellent time and for being such a gracious host!

Spacious, clean, and pretty!

June 2019 - This rental was excellent! It was spacious, clean, and pretty! The bedroom and bathroom felt like a large treat compared to some of the tiny places we have stayed in Europe! We highly recommend that you stay here.

The home is up in the town of Positano, but you are rewarded handsomely with peace and quiet, as well as a BEAUTIFUL view.

A bus does stop nearby (if you want to complete the circle of the Interno route - it moves in one circular direction) and can cut out some of the stairs, but as there are MANY areas of Positano you cannot get to without using the stairs (such as the BEACH!). To scale through the middle of town in discreet stairways is often worth the shortcuts.

Davide [the owner] maintains a beautiful property and an amazing garden, and is so kind. Everything was perfect, Davide. Thank you for making our first trip to Italy so enjoyable.

I enjoyed that Summer In Italy really knows the renters well and facilitates a meaningful transaction.

It was an amazing 5 days in Positano and the location is unreal here

August 2018 - It was an amazing 5 days in Positano and the location is unreal here. We're next to a bar that sells pastries, sandwiches and drinks as well as one of the best restaurants we ate at the entire trip next door to us. The space is large, so you don't feel overly packed in and was nice to enjoy multiple rooms in the house.

It was a great experience, with seamless booking and directions to the place were very clear.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

July 2018 - Thoroughly enjoyed it!

The most amazing vacation we have ever taken!

April 2016 - Our trip to Positano for our anniversary was by far the most amazing vacation we have ever taken! This is due in no small part to the beautiful Casa Orazio and the wonderful hospitality shown to us by its owners.

Owners are truly two of the kindest people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Davide's extensive experience in the hospitality industry shows. His hosting skills are superb and his genuine kindness is without match. We absolutely loved our stay! Wouldn't change a thing. Keep up the great work!

I could go on and on about how wonderful this place and its owners are. If you are coming to Positano, don't pass up the chance to stay here.

I loved how prompt Summer In Italy were in communicating and the extremely helpful service. I only have positive things to say about Summer In Italy and will recommend you to anyone traveling in Italy!

September 2015 - We had a fantastic time at Casa Orazio. The house was very comfortable with fantastic views from the terrace. The location while well above the town is very close to bus stops for the local buses to nearby towns and the internal Positano bus. We would definitely like to return to Positano and stay here again.

Davide and his wife [the owners] were very welcoming and generous hosts.

Very impressive service from Summer In Italy, including helping us out when our car and driver were not there to meet us at Naples Airport.

The house is very clean and spacious with great views from the bedroom & living room. We enjoyed being able to make our own meals in the kitchen. Our favorite part of the house was dining on the terrace with the magnificent view of Positano & the sea below and the mountains above.

The hosts, Davide and his wife, were very friendly & generously shared delicious produce from their garden. Their friendliness made us feel like family! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

July 2014 - Casa Orazio was well kept and we loved it. The location was close to the bus stop and to the 3 small local markets which was perfect. The only issue for us was the amount of stairs to climb to get to the apartment.

I have high praise for Summer In Italy. You provided superior service and did the utmost to find us a holiday home. If we decide to go to Italy again we will definitely contact you again.

Thanks Summer in Italy. We stumbled upon your website and found it to be one of the easiest sites to navigate when looking for accommodation. We thought the extra service from Luca and the team was very good. We recommended the site to lots of travellers we meet along the way. Positano was a highlight of our trip.

We had more in the apartment than any other place we stay in Italy. The view was extraordinary. Davide is a good gardener, we enjoyed the flowers on the patio.
