Reviews of Villa Begonia

If you are looking for only a few steps Villa Begonia will be ideal for you

June 2018 - If you are looking for only a few steps Villa Begonia will be ideal for you, a lift to the beach and the beach restaurant. We chose this villa as we are elderly and looking for minimal steps, very rare along the Amalfi Coast.

The pool is not the largest but perfectly adequate for cooling down and easy in the middle of the night if you fancy a quick dip in the humid dark hours. The terrace is only able to accommodate two sun beds, but there is a two seat sofa beside the pool for extra seating if there are two couples and ample comfortable arm chairs that can be very easily moved outside if necessary. A dining table with four chairs and umbrella is also on the terrace. The kitchen is just adequate as the preparation area is limited, caravans come to mind, but the dining table is right behind you.

Perfetto!

September 2017 - Villa Begonia is what an Amalfi Coast quiet vacation should be. Perfetto!

The folks at Summer In Italy are true professionals and a dream to work with. Responsive and attentive to everything. Will definitely book again and next time, for a 30 day period if available to us.

Fabulous holiday

August 2016 - We had a fabulous holiday at Villa Begonia.

Summer In Italy were really helpful and we really enjoyed our holiday in Positano. Wouldn't hesitate to book a holiday through them again.

Excellent

September 2015 - We enjoyed Villa Begonia tremendously.

It was further out of Positano than we expected which turned out to be an advantage for us. If somebody would like to be in the center of Positano then the villa is a little far out.

Very good

September 2015 - Villa Begonia is in a great location with a really funky funicular railway system getting you to your door. This particular villa is a bit exposed to several others around it, and less private as a result. The inside is excellent and roomy for 2 of us, but obviously it is intended for 4. The plunge pool is deep and has no shelf or chair to sit on, so you cannot sit in it effectively. Everything inside and out in great condition. We had a great week in Positano.

Staff that helped us on site were fantastic and really nice.

Fantastic, everything was easy with Summer In Italy.

July 2015 - We really enjoyed Villa Begonia and had pretty good access to a beach and the private pool which was wonderful.

Positano was relatively close and we enjoyed being slightly away from the main town. It was super peaceful and very quiet.

There was also enough to cook some food at home and enjoy a meal overlooking the Amalfi coast. Some of the best parts of our holiday.

Very good

June 2015 - Villa Begonia is a lovely place to stay. We loved the private swimming pool and private beach and of course the view.

The villa is a little bit out of town but we found the best restaurants were also out of town eg, Next 2 and Da Vincenzo, both really lovely. We got very fit doing the walk a couple of times a day! Taxis are readily available if you are put off the steep climb.

Summer In Italy was great, I would recommend them And book with them again. Thank you.

May 2015 - Villa was beautiful and clean. Great views.

Having a lift a must. Owner very cooperatiecially with our delayed arrival.

Could have used a separate side table to hold kitchen items. There is room for one. An additional dish towel would be nice. Great shower.

First couple days front view to sea obstructed by overgrowth. I made a comment to traveling companion. Next morning someone cutting them down.

Knew the property was not in Positano proper, didn't think it would matter, but in reality it did. Frustrating part was that a nearby hotel had a shuttle but would not let us use even if we offered to pay. Ironically they'd take our money in the restaurants.

I am very pleased with your company in every way. Thank you, Luca and all who were involved with this booking.

October 2013 - Villa Isidora is special. It lives up expectations with stunning views and terrace, very quiet, well furnished, nice beds, 2 bedrooms and kitchen.

It is a couple miles from town but there are ways to get around. There are two bus services with stops right out front. The local Positano bus (orange and white) comes by every hour at :45 and you just stand and wave and it will stop. It returns from town around :30 depending on the stop you choose. Local bus costs 1.70 euros per trip. Then there is the SITA bus line that takes you to Sorrento in 30 minutes. Stand on the other side of the street at the sign but be sure to wave at blue bus so it knows to stop.

Pamper yourself and stay at Villa Begonia.

October 2013 - We thought the space inside was wonderful decorated and spacious. The view was beautiful.

This is the second time we've booked a villa through summer in Italy and love the site. It's every user friendly and the staff is always helpful.

May 2013 - The villa itself is exceptional: very clean, spacious bedrooms, well stocked kitchen. The private terrace was a highlight with stunning views of the ocean and Positano. The private beach was great for swimming and relaxation. The staff was always courteous and helpful.

It was an easy walk into the town for groceries, supplies, and wine, with easy connections for buses.

Villa Begonia was a highlight of our family vacation along the Amalfi coast.

June 2012 - Villa Begonia was very nice. Everything was in good working condition and perfect for what we needed. Other then tripping the breaker one time everything worked well. The furnishings were very nice as well.

June 2012 - It was a bit of walk into Positano itself, but there was an excellent trattoria right next door to a pub just down the road so we didn't actually need to go into Positano every day.

The villa itself was small, but the view from the balcony and the fenicular to get up to the road or down to the beach meant we spent more of our time outside than in. We were were able to enjoy the benefits of having a front desk to collect our keys, park our car(an extra charge) and recover our car keys as early as 5 am on the morning we left. So it felt like a private suite with a James Bond style personal elevator to get up and down to it. It was great.

Excellent

May 2012 - We had a wonderful time at Villa Begonia and definitely recommend it to others. It was the perfect size for 4 of us staying there and the view was spectacular.

The private beach is very nice and the elevators made it very easy for us to get around.

(Our only problem was that the toaster did not work.)

You were very easy to work with and I would definitely use Summer in Italy again and recommend it to friends.

August 2010 - Generally extremely pleasant residence in which to stay. Good standard of furnishing and facility, only galley kitchen a little below par with rest of property.

Great views, straight out to sea, wonderful place to watch the light fade.

Only drawback was access to Positano - the local bus isn't scheduled that frequently, and anyway never turned up even close to the scheduled time - walking down to the more frequently served stop isn't difficult, but a warm way to start the day...

July 2006 - Villa Isidora was beautiful. I really enjoyed the stay, and I would love to come back

I must say that your company's web site, the response we got after booking the apartment, mails we received when we payed for the stay etc, was very professional. I am impressed, and would recommend you to everyone.

June 2006 - We enjoyed Villa Begonia tremendously.

The siting was unparalleled within a peaceful garden setting with tremendous views and decent privacy on the grounds of a better hotel complex. This added a lot to the experience by having access to the funicular so that climbing up and down the steep hillside was only done when desired and to explore the well kept grounds.

The beach facility was quite pleasant and served some great afternoon meals.

Bring a good book, bring your mask and fins and prepare to relax!

We appreciate the responsiveness to questions, and the efficiency with which you run your business. The information provided before, during and after has been quite helpful and contributed to our peace of mind.

June 2006 - This was a great place to stay. The view is superb and the gardens were very pleasant!

We really appreciated to stay there. We would have appreciated a little more of kitchen material.

We will recommend your place with pleasure! The place is beautifil but more important, it was very clean! Something we really appreciated!

Next time we go in Italy, for sure we will reserve with you again!
