Reviews of Casa Zenia A

This was a trip of a lifetime

May 2024 - This was a trip of a lifetime. Ambra and the entire family... You have shown us true hospitality and we cannot thank you enough.

From the moment we stepped onto the terrace, we knew we would have the perfect vacation. And we were right! From the spectacular views, to the full amenities inside the villa, even the daily visits from the local kitties... It was hard for us to say goodbye. If anyone is looking for peace and quiet away from the touristy part of Positano, this is where you want to be. It was only a 10-15 minute walk down to the main street and shops. Thank you again for the best vacation ever!

Everything was perfect thank you

The photos were exact to what we received when we arrived, plus so much more! The photos really interested us in the accommodations but Summer In Italy assisted us in a timely manner, any time we had questions. We greatly appreciated that!

Amazing views

November 2023 - Unbelievable vistas in a relaxed and quiet surrounding.

Fantastic

May 2023 - We had a wonderful stay!

Ambra [the owner] was so sweet and accommodating. Would love to come back again! :-)

Beautiful authentic Italian home, with all the amenities you need and breathtaking views

May 2022 - This property was a beautiful authentic Italian home with all the amenities you need. The patio and views were breathtaking and so relaxing.

The manager Ambra, and her mother and father, were so helpful and accommodating with several times that we contacted them with questions. They never made you feel like you were bothering them.

We absolutely loved our days at Casa Zenia. The property was perfect and we would definitely stay again if we ever get the opportunity to visit this beautiful country again.

It had everything we needed for an incredible stay

April 2022 - We absolutely enjoyed our time at Casa Zenia A. It had everything we needed for an incredible stay and the terrace and view were spectacular!

So glad I booked with Summer In Italy! Communication was A+ experience -- all was prompt and clear. Super easy.

Wonderful stay in Positano

November 2019 - We felt wonderfully welcomed. Magnificent view. Impeccably clean. Responsive and immensely helpful hosts.

Would recommend without hesitation!

Travel tips

Better than we imagined

October 2019 - This was such an amazing place and made our experience magical. Positano in itself is such a beautiful place but staying at Casa Zenia A made this better than we imagined.

The location and view were a once in a lifetime experience. The home and terrace are unbelievable. I don’t think pictures can do justice, this place is just perfect. The home had so many personal touches and was spotless!

Ambra, one of the hosts, was gracious, very, very informative in not just recommendations but she also gave us some very useful local tips, such as bus schedules and where to buy bus tickets. Many of the people we met in town asked to take pictures of the bus schedule and didn't know about purchasing tickets.

I can’t wait to return!

Very clean and nice sized bedrooms perfect for two couples!

September 2019 - Beautiful property - very clean and nice sized bedrooms perfect for two couples!

View was absolutely amazing, large terrace which was relaxing and could just stare at the view all day! Be ready to walk lots of steps to get to town, I liked the exercise!

Nice family owners who were helpful whenever we had questions!

I was so sorry to leave! The views were amazing, just like the pictures suggest!

July 2019 - Casa Zenia A was spectacular! I was so sorry to leave! The views were amazing, just like the pictures suggest! The flowers surrounding and the gardens are all so wonderful and obviously taken care of with lots of time and love.

We all enjoyed the terrace, the kitchen, the amenities, and all were comfortable on the beds. All were very content!

We are athletic, so we enjoyed the stairs twice a day, once up and once down. I even ran up the trail further up into the mountain a few more kilometers and got good exercise and more sweeping views and vistas. This house is situated higher on the hill away from town, thus the spectacular views, and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists, but also requires walking up many stairs from town and the beach. There are bus options to use, but we preferred to walk the stairs. It is ideal for an active family like ours with 3 energetic boys. For someone it might be easier to use a taxi or bus to the closest street and walk the few stairs to the house.

Would love to return!!!

Everything was wonderful! We enjoyed meeting the entire family... They are very good at working together. They made every effort to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We speak English, Spanish and French, but had no trouble communicating with any of them.

It was perfect! A dream! Thank you!

Travel tips

Excellent

June 2019 - Casa Zenia A has a stunning view of Positano which means it is a lot of steps to the beach. But, for us, it was well worth the exercise to walk to city center or the beach and sometimes take the vertical climb back to the apartment. The local bus transportation worked well for us when we weren’t up for the climb back. Being away from city center was relaxing, nice and quiet.

The apartment was clean and comfortable, air conditioners worked well to cool the place down. Fuses blew a couple of times, but easily reset when we needed to. The patio is wonderful. Very large with lots of seating options to sun or sit in the shade. We highly recommend this place and would certainly stay here again.

Amazing time

June 2019 - We had an amazing time staying at Casa Zenia! Everything was spotless when we got there. The kitchen was the perfect size and the bedrooms were very comfortable. It was almost like being at home, it was so comfortable.

Summer in Italy is great, provided a lot of information before the trip and we were able to book a couple of excursions, including the Lemon Experience (fantastic!) and a hike with Zia Lucia for my husband on Father's Day, she was AMAZING and the hike was one of the best we've ever done.

Beautiful!

May 2019 - Our stay was wonderful!!! The house was beautiful and the view from the terrace was breathtaking. We would highly recommend this place.

Thanks for a wonderful trip

May 2019 - Outstanding trip. Wonderful hosts. The view and terrace are spectacular.

I was a little worried about being way up in the hill but NO worries. There’s a wonderful grocer just up the street and there is city bus service. But we just walked into town. Very easy to get around Positano. The home has an elevator so it’s not a problem being up so high.

The views are everything you imagine and more!!!! So worth the extra steps. Works off all of the pasta and pizza. Highly recommend would definitely go back to this home. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

We didn't want to leave

May 2019 - What a wonderful apartment. Clean, beautifully furnished and the views... stunning

Ambra and her family [the owners] were so nice and hospitable, we didn't want to leave.

Can't go wrong with Casa Zenia A

Luca and his staff was wonderful. They answered ever question that I had. Will use them again

Perfect place and helpful owners.

April 2019 - Amazing views!!! The owners were very helpful and the place was perfect, would definitely recommend it!

Grazie!!

A very memorable first trip to Italy

October 2018 - We really can't find any faults with Casa Zenia A. Spectacular views of the mountains and bay. Perfect location - quiet, and away from the busy tourist area, but a 10 minute walk to the nearest shops.

The rooms were all very spacious, comfortably furnished, pantry stocked with the necessities, and very clean. The sun-filled terrace is full of lush plants and flowers and lounge patio furniture.

The beauty of Casa Zenia A exceeded our expectations, and will leave us with memories that will last a lifetime. Grazie mille for making our first trip to Italy a very very special and memorable one!

Travel tips

The views from the terrace were to die for

September 2018 - We spent an awesome week at Casa Zenia A with another couple. The views from the terrace were to die for. It was so peaceful to sit on the terrace overlooking Positano.

The layout of the house was perfect for two couples. The kitchen and living room were in the middle with separate bedrooms and bathrooms on either side. Also one of the bathrooms had a washing machine which we put to good use. We appreciated the ability to park our rented car in their underground secure huge parking garage (for a fee) and utilize their elevator to take luggage up to the house.

We all absolutely LOVED Casa Zenia A. It was way up on the hill and so further away from the central business district which we really liked. But it does mean a longer walk (steps) than if you were staying further down the hill. We would definitely go back for a repeat visit.

Ivan [the owner], his sister, mother, brothers, uncles could not have been nicer or more accommodating.

Overall very good experience and we appreciated all the feedback from Summer In Italy leading up to our trip. Thanks!

Travel tips

The trip of a lifetime

August 2018 - Casa Zenia A is simply amazing. The views are breathtaking, the villa and patio area are generous in size and well furnished. The showers are hot with great pressure and the beds are comfortable.

You will be warmly welcomed by the family and you really must visit their clothing shop in the town centre. You should take very few clothes to Positano as you will want to buy an entirely new wardrobe with all the beautiful linen available.

We highly recommend Casa Zenia A for the trip of a lifetime.

Travel tips

We adored our stay at Casa Zenia A in Positano!

August 2018 - We adored our stay at Casa Zenia A in Positano! The hosts are lovely and the place was super clean and outfitted with everything we needed for our family of 4, including air conditioning. The highlight for our entire family was the terrace and the stunning view!

The property is near the top of the town and so there are many many stairs to get to the beach and shopping.

Thank you so much - you are great hosts and your place was the highlight of our stay. We can't wait to come back!

Summer in Italy has been just fantastic - we booked a few of our Italian places with you and we can't say enough good about the experience. Thank you!

Travel tips

Stunning terrace and view

July 2018 - An absolutely marvelous flat with a stunning terrace and view.

The host where very friendly and helpful in every way.

Response and feedback was absolutely excellent and we will definitely book with Summer In Italy again next time we visit Italy.

Travel tips

What a beautiful house in a beautiful place!!!

June 2018 - Highly recommended. What a beautiful house in a beautiful place!!! The terrace is breathtaking with spectacular views of Positano and the Mediterranean sea. Hope to go back really soon!!!

Don't change anything!

The communication is excellent, emails returned immediately. Great customer service!!!

Travel tips

Recommended 100%

April 2018 - The pictures are true! Casa Zenia A is beautiful inside and out. The views you take in from the terrace are unreal. Yes of course there are quite a few steps to get downtown, but where in Positano doesn’t have steps? All is worth it!

My husband and I stayed here with my parents, the setup of the Villa was perfect. We had our own space and bathrooms but the wonderful common/family areas of the living space.

We recommend Casa Zenia A 100% !!

What a wonderful location for Positano

September 2017 - What a wonderful location for Positano. A spectacular view from the spacious terrace. We really liked being above the crowds.

Carla and Ambra [the caretakers] were great hosts and very helpful with tips about the area.

Summer In Italy was wonderful to work with and provided key resources by phone or on their web site (like which cars with driver were best to hire for tours and/or pick up at the Naples train station, in our case).

Travel tips

Amazing house with breathtaking views

July 2017 - Amazing house with breathtaking views. The terrace makes the house and was everything we hoped for and more. Would rent again and again!

The owners were so helpful and on top of anything we needed.

Outstanding. Perfect. Customer service was unbelievable.

Travel tips

The view was one of the most amazing we've seen

June 2017 - We loved Casa Zenia A! The home was a beautiful oasis from the travels of the day! One minor challenge with this property is the location, which is away from the beaches and shopping areas of Positano so getting back to the property involves lots of stairs, taking the bus or a taxi (easiest but €25 from pretty much anywhere in town). But this was easily offset by the most remarkable part of this home which was the beautiful terrace. There was a beautiful canopy of bougainvillea, other flowers and plants, a small koi pond and even wood fired pizza oven on the terrace and the view was one of the most amazing we've seen - quite serene and absolutely stunning!

The owner family is very friendly, helpful and generous, including their pets who made the occasional visit to see who the new inhabitants were.

Great to work with Summer In Italy! Loved getting updates on our upcoming trip and the newsletter with information about Italy. Thanks!

Travel tips

There are no words to describe the beauty!

June 2017 - We (two couples) LOVED Casa Zenia A. I wish we could give the view from the terrace a rating even higher than excellent! There are no words to describe the beauty! The bedrooms (each with their own full bathroom) were well appointed and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is complete with modern amenities. The living room is on the small side, but we never sat in the living room - much preferring the breath-taking views from the terrace.

The location is a bit away from the center of town but the tranquility of this area is worth the extra steps. The stairs to the center of town are located just across the street from Casa Zenia A so there is easy access to shops and restaurants. The location is also convenient to the SITA bus stop.

Our hosts were gracious and helpful with directions and suggestions.

Summer In Italy was fantastic! They answered our emailed questions very promptly and provided great recommendations. We looked forward to their emailed newsletters and learned so much from them before we even arrived in Italy!

Magnifico...!!

June 2017 - Magnifico...!!! Fantastic terrace and views... Had to stay there.

It is breathtaking to sit on the magnificent terrace and enjoy the view!

May 2017 - Casa Zenia A is immaculate and tasteful. It is breathtaking to sit on the magnificent terrace and enjoy the view!

The owners are lovely, helpful people.

Summer In Italy was fantastic! So easy to deal with and always friendly and helpful! I have already recommended you to my friends!

The view was spectacular and the terrace was amazing

May 2017 - We loved our stay in Casa Zenia A. The view was spectacular and the terrace was amazing. We wish we could have enjoyed more time on the wonderful terrace but we were very busy enjoying the Amalfi Coast and the wonderful sights, perhaps next time we will book a longer stay! We would definitely recommend a stay here.

The owners were very helpful and friendly and gave us good tips for restaurants, nothing was too much trouble.

Summer In Italy were extremely helpful and answered all of our emails promptly and efficiently. We decided to book with them because they had good reviews and answered our initial questions promptly and were very friendly. All of our requests were dealt with straight away and nothing was too much trouble. We would book through them again and can't really suggest any improvements.

Travel tips

Amazing terrace and forever views

October 2016 - Casa Zenia A is a lovely apartment with an amazing terrace and forever views. If you're looking for an Amalfi Coast vacation away from the tourists and crowds, Casa Zenia A is for you. Set way above the town center of Positano, it is quiet and private. You really feel part of the neighborhood. Yet, getting into the town center is easy-peasy. An exhilarating walk down old stairways, or an easy bus ride from a close-by bus stop.

The host family lives right next door and they were very helpful and responsive.

Travel tips

Greatly enjoyed our stay

September 2016 - We greatly enjoyed our stay at Casa Zenia A. The apartment is well appointed and the view is one of the best of Positano.

Summer In Italy have been very attentive and helpful in ensuring that our holiday was an enjoyable experience. Their customer service and communication could not be better and we would have no problem in recommending their services to other holidaymakers.

Travel tips

Fantastic views

September 2016 - Fantastic views, tranquil terrace. Spent most of our time when we were not out on the terrace.

Owners were extremely nice and accommodating.

Summer In Italy were truthful in their advertising. I would definitely recommend them.

Travel tips

We loved our stay!

July 2016 - We loved our stay at Casa Zenia A. The views were breathtaking and the terrace amazing! Although a little above the main beach easy access was available using the local bus.

The owners lived next door and were very helpful with advice. Everything was perfect.

We found the staff at Summer In Italy very professional. When our driver told us he was unavailable to pick us up from Naples airport the day before we required him, we contacted Summer In Italy and they arranged for another driver to pick us up - nothing was too much trouble! Thank you - you saved us from a lot of stress!

Travel tips

Thank you for such a lovely time!

May 2016 - Wow! Really beautiful property and very friendly owners. Casa Zenia A was very clean and there was no need to bring any essentials (dishwasher tablets included!). The views from the terrace were awe inspiring. Would definitely recommend Casa Zenia A.

Thank you for such a lovely time!

Travel tips

Very good

September 2015 - We picked Casa Zenia A because of the patio and views. The apartment is charming, bedroom & on suit bathrooms make a very comfortable stay for 2 couples. We never used the "living room", outdoors on the patio is where we wanted to be. Breath taking views!

The owners are next door and were available for any of our needs. Your place is very nice & we thank you for sharing.

There is no advice for Summer In Italy, it is the most organized home rental service I have ever worked with. I am telling everyone I know to only use your service! Thank you for the many response of emails.

Travel tips

Very good

September 2014 - What a perch! The view from our very spacious deck was incomparable, day and even more beautiful at night.

Inside Casa Zenia A was comfortable, all very well appointed, personalized just enough and very roomy.

No hesitation in recommending this fine property wholeheartedly!

Owners were very gracious and helpful; lots of basil and a lovely bottle of wine.

You folks are amazing. Loved the online help, all the tips and overall the terrific service of Summer In Italy.

September 2014 - Casa Zenia A was an absolute paradise.

If you want a vacation filled with views, tranquility, top rate accommodations and a kind, loving family to be your host Casa Zenia A is the place, it is absolutely beautiful!

The property itself was far nicer then the pictures. We were so impressed by the cleanliness and care that the owners take for their home. The terrace is breathtaking, the home itself it modern and very clean. The view from our outstanding terrace was magnificent! We woke up every morning thinking we were in a dream. It was so tranquil and private. This place should be called Casa Paradise!

We were greeted by Ivan upon our arrival and he was very kind, informative, friendly and available to us. Carla, the owner, was right next door and was available anytime we had a question. She was amazingly kind and friendly. I cannot begin to thank you and your family for your kindness and warmth, but most of all for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home. My family and I had an amazing, relaxing, adventurous, fun time and we cannot thank you enough.

We are a family that travels often and very, very rarely stays in hotels. Our #1 reason is that we feel we are unable to truly experience the culture and people if we are staying at a hotel property. Your home allowed us to experience and enjoy the beautiful people and culture of Positano. We are very honest with ourselves in not expecting everything to be perfect, but I do have to tell you this time it truly was!!! Please express our thanks and many hugs and kisses to your family and, of course, to Pluto, Sara & Tibia.

My family and I enjoyed the most beautiful, memorable 12 days here, we were so sad to leave and would come back again.

I found Summer In Italy to be very efficient, respectful, information and available. I was truly happy with all the representatives that promptly replied to my many questions. We found your emailed booklet on Casa Zenia A very informative and helpful. I would not only use you again but am recommending you to my family and friends. Thank you very much. You made our vacation run smoothly.

June 2014 - Staying at Casa Zenia A was the highlight of our European vacation. It is more beautiful than the pictures.

Having the family right next door and being able to share their garden and play with their dogs made us feel like we were at home. They were very helpful with all our questions during our travels.

I would highly recommend this amazing, beautiful casa. It will be our only place to stay the next time we're in Positano.

The owner's family was extremely generous and welcoming. Thank you Ivan [the owner] for all your guidance and making us feel like we were part of the family.

Summer In Italy made my travel plans so much easier. I will use them every time I go back to Italy. I highly recommend their services. Luca was very helpful and made sure all my questions were answered. Thank you Luca!!

April 2014 - This was the absolute perfect vacation spot. Casa Zenia A is a beautiful place, with an unbelievable view from a fantastic terrace.

I can't wait to return some time in the future.

I want to thank Summer in Italy for the great service we received in finding this spot, and providing all kinds of useful information in advance of our trip. We came across the Summer in Italy web site by accident, but I can say that I've never received better service from any company. I had many questions before we left, not just about the villa we were renting but about the Amalfi Coast in general. Every question was responded to within a day and answered in detail in a very friendly manner. Best of all, they lead us to the perfect vacation spot. We certainly intend to return to Italy in the future, and my planning will begin by contacting Summer in Italy.

October 2013 - This villa was actually as beautiful when seen live as it looked in the photos... and that is rarely the case with anything. The long walk to the town and beach makes it not a place for everyone... and Positano itself is a bit of a (beautiful) bore and a tourist trap... but we all thought the villa itself was simply outstanding.

The bedroom could use a bit more closet space (or maybe just more hangers and shelves).

The owners were very sweet and brought us lemon cake for dessert after one of our big meals on the last night there. We loved the dogs (especially Sara) and took them in on a stormy night.

Finding you folks was by accident... but we liked the personal attention, the phone calls and help we got finding a villa that fit our needs. Zenia A was idyllic in many ways.

Travel tips

Excellent

September 2013 - We enjoyed our stay at Casa Zenia and found the direction and help from the owners to be excellent.

Although up near the top of the hill bus transport made access to the main town easy.

Conditions and cleanliness of villa excellent.

Fantastic

June 2013 - We loved staying at Casa Zenia A. The owners were wonderful, so kind and helpful and caring, and everything about the villa was fantastic. I would return and recommend to all my friends. The owners did a beautiful job of welcoming us and looking after us,

I am very happy with the service and your company and will use you again.

Excellent

May 2013 - Loved Casa Zenia and the owners could not have been nicer to us. They even called the airport to try to retrieve luggage that did not arrive.

Would definitely recommend Casa Zenia to anyone going to Positano and hope they have as much fun as we did!

Travel tips

Fantastic

November 2012 - We enjoyed Zenia very much. We loved the location at the very top of the town and close to the trails that traverse the hills above Positano and provide breathtaking views.

The two bedroom apartment had lovely bedrooms and gorgeous bathrooms, a cozy kitchen with top of the line cooking utensils. The large terrace overlooking the town and the sea is fabulous! More spectacular than any photo can portray.

I recommend Zenia A to renters who are fit and can handle climbing stairs to get around town. Especially perfect for those who enjoy being away from the center of town and like to be able to access walks in nature.

I would use or recommend Summer in Italy again. My friend and I are very grateful that you were able to find us such a great rental.
