Reviews of Villa Corradina

I highly recommend this as a vacation spot!!

October 2023 - My niece and I spent four night and three days at the Villa Corradina. It was so relaxing and spacious. The perfect location, just outside of the busy district of Positano, but very convenient for walking to restaurants and shopping.

Everyone involved in the process of finding the place, renting, getting the keys and settling in were terrific. Giovanni Paolo [the owner] was waiting for us when we arrived! Thank you! I highly recommend this as a vacation spot!!

I found all of the Summer In Italy staff super helpful. Klint answered all of my questions. He was gracious and took his time making sure I was comfortable with the culture I would be visiting. Thank you.

Beautiful home in an excellent location

June 2023 - Yes! It is a beautiful home and is in an excellent location. It was clean and spacious. It has a fantastic view from the terrace.

Summer In Italy is absolutely the best! Luca, Klint and Anita were so kind, very responsive, and super helpful. They answered every question we had, and we had plenty! Very patient and kind people to work with. They made our stay super easy. I highly recommend doing business with Summer In Italy, and hope we have the opportunity to do so again.

June 2023 - Worth it!!!

Awesome service thank you!!!

Incredible views, great location

October 2022 - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our 2 year old son and my wife's parents at Villa Corradina.

The views were incredible and the location was great, just a short walk down to numerous shops/restaurants. The unit itself is spacious and not overly decorated/done. There is also a great boutique grocery store below the unit, which was perfect for a morning coffee and picking up wine/groceries.

Be mindful that there are quite a few steps up to the unit from the street level but that is the case throughout Positano.

Lovely home a short walk from the city center, highly recommend a stay here!

September 2022 - This lovely (and spacey!) home is a short walk from the city center. They have a washing machine which was easy to use and helpful. From the balcony there’s a beautiful view of the coast! There is a very convenient market right below where you can get anything you might need for your stay.

Paolo was such a helpful host, he met us at check in and showed us a parking spot and the private beach (about 400 m from the house). Paolo even arranged to take us on his beautiful boat - we had dinner reservations in Nerano) and he took us at sunset, provided prosecco and explained a bit about the coast to us - making our stay in Positano even more Incredible! Highly recommend a stay here.

Excellent

September 2022 - Great location! Easy access to town center. Beautiful beach.

Easy to communicate with the host.

Spectacular apartment! Great view and perfect location

August 2022 - Spectacular apartment! Very spacious, clean interior with a great view of the water from the terrace. Very convenient to have the kitchen and washing machine. Having access to the private beach was incredible; we went every day of our stay!

Perfect location: walk downstairs, get a sandwich and other snacks from the cafe at street level, and then walk to the beach staircase.

Everything worked for us!

Summer In Italy made the entire process simple and easy. Communication before, during, and after our stay was impeccable. Safe, trustworthy, reliable. Can't recommend enough!

Travel tips

Perfect location, amazing view

June 2022 - Perfect location just off the main road and about 200 meters to the main staircase down into the heart of Positano. The view off of the balcony is amazing. Bring binoculars so you can spy on the super yachts.

The owner is great and has a wealth of information about the area. He arranged for us to use his personal garage for our rental car which was convenient for seeing the other towns in the area.

Summer In Italy was excellent. Great information, super helpful and always available. Will use you guys in the future directly.

August 2021 - Paolo Giovanni was excellent. Communications were great and the accommodations were perfect for us - myself and my wife along with our adult daughter.

The location was great and we used the private beach down below several times. This was a great home base for our time on the Amalfi Coast.

We even hired Paolo for a 3 hour boat tour of the Amalfi Coast. Highly recommend.

Perfection in Positano

September 2019 - We had a wonderful time exploring Positano for the first time. Our apartment was spacious with tables and chairs. Kitchen very efficient and the two bedrooms and baths worked out well. Great having washing machine. View is breathtaking. We enjoyed taking this in daily. Only suggestion would be to have patio chairs so can enjoy the setting better.

The semi private beach was wonderful. Just be sure to know it is a very long and steep walk up and down. Having the parking spot was a necessity in Positano despite it being a long ways away from the apartment. Also be prepared to walk up steep stairs to the apartment but a great way to continue to get your exercise in Italy.

We would highly recommend this location to future travelers.

It is fantastic! Centrally located, clean, roomy and the view is amazing!

July 2019 - It is fantastic! Centrally located, clean, roomy and the view is amazing! The beach that you have direct access to is just divine! Everything is great!

The owners are lovely and live in Positano so if anything comes up they are accessible.

When we travel back to Italy we will definitely use Summer In Italy again!

Travel tips

Would stay again

July 2019 - Property was perfect for what we needed. A/C, clean, large and a private beach!

Giovanni (I hope I am remembering that correctly) met us at our cab, walked us to the place and even carried our bags up the 50 steps to the place. So wonderful. As the listing states -- there are a set of at least 50 steep stairs up to the property. But if you don't like stairs, don't come to Positano. Stairs everywhere!

Private beach was amazing and you could kayak (in the kayaks provided at no charge) to the little beach bar next door. Again, a million steps to the beach, but so worth it. Very nice of them to offer access to such a beautiful place.

Would highly recommend the place. Wasn't right in the middle of town, but the walk was very short. Very quiet this way in our place so maybe that is a plus! Views at night from villa were stunning!!!! Consider yourself lucky if you get a chance to stay here.

Grab it while you can!

July 2019 - We had the best time at this beautiful, wonderful location in Positano!

The best. Thank you for the time of our lives!

The view and location of Villa Corradina was wonderful

June 2019 - The view and location of Villa Corradina was wonderful. We spent three days in Positano, and it was great to experience! The beach was great!

The communication was helpful...

Travel tips

Very nice villa that suited our needs perfectly

June 2019 - Villa Corradina is a very nice villa that suited our needs perfectly. It is exactly as advertised. The view from the balcony and from almost every room in the villa is breathtaking. The villa is very spacious and the air conditioning works great.

The villa comes with the direct access to the sea and to a beach. We only allowed for one beach day on our trip and it was our favorite day of the trip. The beach is small and secluded and has a bathroom. Yes, there are hundreds of steps down to the beach but it is so worth it. We would stay at this villa again just to gain access to this beach.

The owner Paolo is wonderful. He has a beautiful boat and is available for boat rides down the coast. We didn’t have time to schedule a trip with him. After seeing his boat and meeting him, I certainly wish we had been able to take a ride with him. We loved your villa and would absolute stay here again. Thank you for such s lovely villa!

Summer In Italy was amazing from start to finish. I would absolutely use your services again.

Travel tips

Excellent location.

April 2019 - Access to shops, eating, church, beach, transportation.

Perfect location with an outstanding view

April 2019 - Excellent stay at Villa Corradina, perfect location with an outstanding view. Short walk to restaurants, bars, shops, and beach. Food shop below the house was ideal for coffee, water, breakfast and lunch.

Unit was well maintained and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The steps to the unit were a bit tough after a long day but that is also part of the wonderful charm of Positano. Highly recommended.

Everything we needed for a pleasant stay was provided.

Summer In Italy was great, will recommend to others and will use you again. Booked with you as had what we were looking for. You also made it very easy and simple.

We enjoyed it very much - it was exactly the way it was advertised

October 2018 - We enjoyed it very much - it was exactly the way it was advertised. Location was great, close enough to walk places but also away from the city center crowds. It was clean and very comfortable for 4 people.

Very easy to work with Summer In Italy, communication was prompt and clear, loved the newsletters prior to our trip. A family member rented a villa from the company years ago and told us about it. I will definitely recommend your company and hope to use it again someday.

Travel tips

Excellent

September 2018 - Hard to sleep in the morning because I just wanted to stay out, at the sea — it was so beautiful! We made a great dinner in one night, and it was great for us to relax together. The direct access to the beach is very special as well.

We decided to book with you because of the location and view. It was nice to find that the property was managed by Summer In Italy because professionally managed places tend to have less surprises.

Travel tips

So conveniently located

September 2018 - Villa Corradina was an excellent choice for our stay. Location was so conveniently located -- right by a bus stop if needed, walk-able to restaurants and not too far away from the beach. Having an option of a direct access to the sea and to a sandy beach was great as well.

Insider was very spacious, especially the living room, and views out the windows were just beautiful.

What made it even more outstanding was our host Paolo, he was so extremely helpful when we had a medical emergency. He went above and beyond in helping us contact car service, and was in contact with the hospital to make sure we were getting the help we needed. Wonderful person.

I loved our experience with Summer In Italy. I had never heard of it before so wasn't sure when I first saw the web site, but the availability and prompt responses by staff quickly helped gain my trust. So glad we found you guys!

Travel tips

It is located in a great central location to all the Amalfi Coast towns

September 2018 - We had a great time at Villa Corradina. It is located in a great central location to all the Amalfi Coast towns. We were able to travel to see Pompeii, Ravello, and Amalfi in day trips. Driving is totally crazy but in our opinion is the best way to get around. The house is easy walking to the Main Street Positano restaurants, shops and public beach. 52 steps from the road to the villa with luggage so pack light!

Good experience with Summer In Italy.

LOVED

July 2018 - We LOVED Villa Corradina! It is very spacious, clean and had incredible views. The location was prime and we could walk just about everywhere in Positano. The air conditioning worked great and was a savior to have in July. Also, the street parking that comes with the rental was appreciated. The only thing that future renters should be aware of are the very steep stairs to get to the house. Not a big deal but worth mentioning if you have health issues. Probably our favorite thing about Villa Corradina was the direct access to the beach and to the sea. It was such a nice feature to offer away from all the hustle and bustle of the crowded public beach.

Paolo [the owner] was very nice and helpful when we checked in.

Summer In Italy was very professional and easy to communicate with. Would definitely book with them in the future.

Travel tips

Had the perfect stay at Villa Corradina

July 2018 - Had the perfect stay at Villa Corradina. Amazing location - close to shops and having the direct access to the sea and to the beach was truly MAGICAL... Love it! Can't wait to return one day and will certainly spread the word about this property.

Summer In Italy were FABULOUS. Loved receiving the newsletter before my trip and just the communication and care was wonderful.

Travel tips

Would go back in a sec!

June 2018 - Would go back in a sec! This location is ideal, 10 min walk to shops.

I am totally impressed with the response time on all questions.

We had a wonderful time in Positano

June 2018 - Villa Corradina was the perfect spot for our group of 4. We had a wonderful time in Positano. The house was so spacious, with gorgeous views of the Mediterranean. We spent many hours lounging on the deck, it faces the east so it was perfect for each evening as it was in the shade. The house is well equipped for meals in, with plenty of room to cook and dine. The location was perfect for us as we could catch the bus at the nearby Sponda bus stop to visit other cities along the coast, or just stroll into the heart of Positano within minutes.

The owner met us promptly, helped us with our luggage and gave us an overview of the town. Please ask him if he will give you a boat ride along the coast, we did and it was one of our best days, including viewing the many coastal towns from the water, seeing the Emerald Grotto and snorkeling. He also pointed out some interesting sights.

It was such a plus to have direct access to the beach equipped with lounge chairs, umbrellas and kayaks, giving lots of options for activities or for just lounging with a book.

This is my 4th time booking with Summer In Italy and once again our vacation was perfect. The house was described exactly as it was, the customer service was spot on. They know their properties and they want to you to have a great vacation. Thanks again!

Travel tips

Great location!

May 2018 - Everything was excellent. Great location!

Villa Corradina exceeded expectations

May 2018 - Villa Corradina exceeded expectations. The description of the house and photos are 100% accurate. The house was clean, the living space was huge, and both bedrooms were much larger than you'd expect in Europe. The kitchen is a little small, but has almost everything you need. The terrace was huge and, while the view isn’t into Positano town, you still have a beautiful view of the bay and hillside. We didn't try the direct access to the sea and beach as it was a bit chilly. Great place and can't wait to come back.

The space is at the top of the hill of the center city - about a 10 minute walk. It’s only 49 steps from the street to the house - not a lot by Positano standards and they aren’t as steep as some. The bus stop is directly across the street from the steps. From the house, you can make it to the center of town in 10 minutes and the other side of town in about 20-25. The walk to the beach and shops further below the city center is anywhere from 15-25 minutes, depending on where you want to go. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The host spent ten minutes showing us around the property and explaining the washer. He provides sun hats for men and women and umbrellas.

Everything was great with Summer In Italy. Would not change a thing. Have already had three friends book with you since we found you.

It was wonderful!

May 2018 - Yes, we did enjoy Villa Corradina! Except the 47 steps! :)

It was wonderful!

We are very confident about Summer In Italy. Very good service.

Great location

October 2017 - Villa Corradina is a spacious and comfortable apartment in a great location, next to the "Sponda" bus stop, with easy access to town. The view from the bedroom and terrace is lovely and having access to the private beach is a real bonus.

Recommendation from a friend who stayed there before. It lived up to all expectations.

Travel tips

WOW!

September 2017 - WOW! Fabulous apartment, very spacious, very clean, super location. Modern and rustic at the same time. Great value for the price. Would highly recommend Villa Corradina.

The owner was fantastic and helped us with our luggage, also gave us good information about our stay (especially telling us about the gas station to buy food and beverages). Perfect host, no improvements required!!!

Super job from beginning to end!

Travel tips

Everything was just perfect

September 2017 - My son and I had a most enjoyable stay in this wonderful house. Everything was just perfect, immaculately clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished and equipped. The view was simply spectacular and we just sat contemplating this and meditating on the sheer beauty of this region. This stay was a great introduction to the legendary beauty of the Amalfi Coast. I love this region and will certainly return again... Amo l'Italia!

Paolo was a warm welcoming host, helped us on arrival with the baggage and made us feel totally at home.

My interaction with Summer In Italy was wonderful. Every one of the people I corresponded with were so friendly, efficient and so rapid in their response to all my queries. They replied at length and almost immediately to my mails and I felt that I knew them personally because of their lovely personal approach. I highly recommend this company and will certainly use their services again. Thank you Luca, Valeria, Melanie and all of you for your help.

We loved our stay!

August 2017 - We loved our stay!

The owner was wonderful helping us get our bags up and also taking us on a boat tour!

You were amazing! Thank you for all of your help!!

Travel tips

Loved

August 2017 - We loved Villa Corradina. It was perfect for 2 couples. The best part of the house (apart from the brilliant location), was the direct access to the beach (reserved for only a few other villas). It was so hot in August and the main beach in Positano was crowed and NOT inviting. But when we visited the private beach nearby, every morning and afternoon we were there. We never saw more than 6 other guests.

The caretaker was very informative when we arrived and explained everything.

Summer In Italy was recommended to us by a friend. They provided an excellent service when inquiring and booking. They also provided a very informative monthly newsletter to prepare us for our holiday.

I highly recommend this property!

May 2017 - Villa Corradina looked exactly as it did in the photos and had everything we needed for a spectacular stay. I highly recommend this property!

Everything was easy and anyone I dealt with at Summer In Italy was prompt in responding to any queries and incredibly pleasant and helpful.

Excellent location

May 2017 - Excellent location, easy short walk to the center of everything. Outstanding view of the coast. Huge amount of space in this lovely apartment. Excellent quality beds. Very clean. Nice neighbors. We would definitely stay here again.

Property manager and owner were very responsive to every request. Owner promptly met us on site, helped with our bags and showed us how everything worked. He answered promptly when we had questions.

No hidden costs.

Travel tips

Great location

October 2016 - Villa Corradina is a lovely, airy, bright, substantial house in a great location in Positano with beautiful views along the Amalfi Coast. The only room that is less than spacious is the kitchen which is very small and basic but adequate.

Summer In Italy were very helpful and highly efficient in responding to emails and requests for advice. I particularly liked the help they provided in getting a taxi to collect us from Naples airport. I can't fault their friendly service and will definitely look to use them again to book another holiday in Italy.

Travel tips

Great spot!

October 2016 - Great spot! The property manager was excellent/very helpful.

Summer In Italy were very helpful and professional. I was very impressed with their attention to detail and follow up.

Location very good. Views spectacular. Use of private beach a highlight.

September 2016 - Location very good. Views spectacular. Use of private beach a highlight and provision of beach towels an added bonus. Free parking great - when we visited Positano 3 years ago, parking with a hotel was 100 Euro. For what we wanted Villa Corradina was adequate. For anyone wanting to cook (we didn't) facilities are limited.

Great web site. Good choice of accommodation and locations. Easy to deal with.

Travel tips

A wonderful time

July 2016 - We had a wonderful time in Villa Corradina, it was the break we needed as we had been travelling around Italy for two weeks and appreciated the break.

The property did not face the pretty side of Positano, but had a nice quiet view, and the stairs were many! Not much can do about that when in Positano, as the walk will get you in great shape. The beach has many steps, but again, when in Positano... Hike is a daily thing.

Overall we had a wonderful time there, the villa was nice, the view was a bit of a surprise to us as we thought we would face the other side of the mountain, but in the end, it was a bit more quiet. We look forward to returning back to Positano again one day.

Very reassuring knowing that we had someone meet us and guide us through when we arrived in a very busy town at rush hour.

Travel tips

Close to everything in Positano

July 2016 - Villa Corradina is perfectly located, close to everything in Positano. It is very spacious. The two bedrooms/bathrooms are at opposite ends of the villa so it really gives you privacy, especially if you are sharing with another couple. You can sit side by side on the terrace but there is no room for a table.

The private beach is beautiful and we preferred it to the crowded public beach, but be prepared for stairs. There are about 230 steps to get to the private beach (50 from the house down to the street, 180 from the street down to the beach)... Well worth the small effort.

Travel tips

Everything was perfect!

June 2016 - We enjoyed Villa Corradina very much! The space was very comfortable and the views amazing. It had everything we needed and was very clean.

The owner was kind and very helpful! Everything was perfect!

Summer In Italy was instrumental in helping make this vacation a reality. Every detail was addressed in a prompt and helpful way.

Travel tips

Excellent location and view

May 2016 - Villa Corradina has an excellent location and view. However comfort factor can be increased with better fittings and stronger force of water in bathrooms and larger and better equipped kitchen. Lot of space in bedrooms but beds could be made more comfortable. Overall we were very happy and the location and space and the light in the house made up for the other points.

The owner was very helpful.

Everything was perfect with Summer In Italy. Everyone was professional and extremely helpful. It was a big pleasure to interact with Melanie.

March 2016 - We really enjoyed Villa Corradina! The view is fantastic, the location perfect, and the space is large. We would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Summer In Italy was wonderful. I have booked through this website before, and both times have been easy and wonderful. Also, we were late getting into Positano, and I did not have a way to contact the owner. I emailed Summer In Italy and had a response within a couple of minutes. I sincerely appreciated the quick response and helpfulness. I will highly recommend Summer In Italy to anyone I know who is going to this area.

Fantastic

October 2015 - We stayed for 9 enjoyable nights at Villa Corradina, in September 2015. The house is very spacious with 2 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large living room/dining area, well-equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, and the terrace with its MAGNIFICENT view, where we spent much of our time. There is also the direct access to the sea and the beach.

The location is ideal, a 10-15 minute walk to town, near restaurants, convenient store a few steps away and bus stop (Sponda) across the street, which was convenient for trips to Amalfi and Sorrento.

We had everything we needed for a pleasurable stay and would stay again.

Paolo, the owner, met us upon arrival and helped with our luggage up the 50 steps - he was friendly, helpful, and informative.

Great service from Summer In Italy. Continue what you are doing - your continued quick responses, updates, information are appreciated and noticed.

September 2015 - Enjoyed our week immensely. Million dollar view, great location, European charming.

The apartment is spacious and comfortable with wonderful architectural details. Be sure you're able to climb fifty steep steps from the street to the door... daunting at first sight, but doable. Of course, being high up in the cliffs gives the awesome endless view of the sea and the houses in the cliffs... a magical scene at night. Most definitely worth the climb!

You were great -- responsive to the one call I made with a communication problem. Paolo [the owner] called within ten minutes of my call to you.

July 2015 - We had a lovely time. We really enjoyed the location.

The kitchen, although small was really functional and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. Even though it was really hot, the villa was cold and we only used the air conditioning some times. The private beach was terrific. There weren't too many steps (something we were worried about because I have bad knees).

Travel tips

Excellent

June 2015 - Villa Corradina is very well located, right next to the bus stop (very convenient) and at the entrance of Positano.

The house is exactly like the pictures, big, bright and airy and very clean. The balcony is on the small size but we enjoyed it very much and everyday. All appliances including washing machine were working including the WI-FI and air conditioning. Kitchen well equipped.

Yes there are 50 stairs to get to it but it has it's advantages: the view, the quietness and everyone needs exercise. In any case it is a warm-up for the rest of Positano.

About 5 min away there is access to a private beach that we also enjoyed every day. There are approximately 180 stairway steps to the beach but it is well worth discovering. The vegetation, the scenery and the view are spectacular. We would go back in a heart beat.

The owner was very nice and very helpful.

Great staff Summer In Italy! Very very helpful, quick and easy. Super efficient and a stress free experience dealing with everyone. When I'll go back to Italy I will most definitely use Summer In Italy again. Molte grazie Valeria e Luca for your suggestions and help. You have been wonderful!

May 2015 - Villa Corradina is a lovely house.

There were two couples sharing it and it worked out perfectly. Two nice bedrooms, two nice bathrooms, plenty of living space and a very pretty view from our balcony. The location, right above Positano, is excellent. Easy to walk into town, easy to catch a bus along the coast and the 50 steps helped work off all the great food we ate! We would definitely recommend Villa Corradina to others.

Summer in Italy was extraordinary -- got right back to us with answers to our questions, very efficient, friendly. Their recommendation for a driver helped us all week and we were so impressed and pleased. A very well run operation.

It's a large apartment with an outstanding view. Villa Corradina has air conditioning but even when the temperature outside was 38 degrees, it remained cool.

The owner was around if we needed anything, but we did not.

I have already recommended Summer In Italy to others. It was a pleasure dealing with you and I would use you again. Thank you.

Although the main coast road is directly below the Villa the noise level did not disturb us and was not too bad as it was some height below the villa.

Excellent service, I would highly recommend Summer In Italy as a business to book Villa's through. I would use them again. Thanks.

September 2013 - Just what it said on the tin!! Beautiful view from the terrace, very spacious and clean, everything in the villa that you would need, the only minus I saw really, was that it could do with updating in the bedroom off the living area, specific the beds and bed linen.

Kitchen basic but well equipped, we didn't use it as we ate out, just boiled the kettle!!

When we first arrived and were faced with all the steps (with luggage) we took an intake of breath, hence had none left when we reached the top, but this said we got used to it by the end of the week. A little shop at the bottom of the stairs for refreshments, was very well used.

Would recommend anyone to give it a go we loved it and would go again.

July 2013 - Villa Corradina is great, spacious, light and airy. All the rooms are big, apart from the kitchen but this could be the norm for the country. It didn't bother us as we did not do much cooking with all the lovely food available out and about. The balcony is narrow needs some decent chairs with a table but this would be my only gripe as it has great views.

The little private beach area is great and well equipped.

Overall, the accommodation is top, we would stay again and recommend it to all, especially for families with children.

Summer In Italy were great. very helpful, no problems at all. I found you trawling the internet and was very impressed by your website. Very informative and honest.

July 2013 - We enjoyed our stay at Villa Corradina.

The manager/owner greeted us warmly and showed us around the villa. The rooms were spacious and the views spectacular. The location was good being close to the bus stop, beach and only a short walk into the shopping area.

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and our stay.

Summer in Italy were extremely helpful, prompt with replies and answered any queries we had. The information sheets forwarded to us following our booking were an excellent guide for what to expect on our arrival at the villa. We booked through Summer in Italy because that was the website we found the villa on - it was a good choice.

May 2013 - We enjoyed Villa Corradina. It is what I would imagine a typical Italian villa and was decorated with lovely homely furnishings. Had a great little kitchen and was well equipped. The balcony offered a great view over the bay and was a lovely sunny area for sitting and relaxing.

Location was good as it was an easy walk to the town centre along a very scenic pathway.

Check-in and out was very easy. Booking was made easy and communication was very good.

Travel tips

May 2013 - Villa Corradina is in an excellent location. Right across the street from the bus stop and an easy walk to the downtown. Also our driver noted that relative to other villa's there was not many stairs (50 to be exact!)

The villa itself is very large and comfortable. When the doors to the terrace are open the living room almost becomes an extension of the terrace which was great.

Our experience with Summer in Italy was great. Good communication and information. No surprises which is what you want.

May 2013 - Villa Corradina is a charming place to spend two weeks. The view from the balcony is breathtaking and something I looked forward to seeing each morning.

The villa is large and well decorated and the location in Positano perfect. We loved the walk down Via Christopher Columbus to the central beach. The steps back and forth were NOT a problem and kept us from gaining too much weigh from all the wonderful Italian food we ate during our stay.

We did not use the private beach during our stay because of all the other things to see and do along the Amalfi Coast but in the summer it looks to be quite inviting.

We particularly enjoyed having our own private parking space for our Alfa Romeo that gave us added mobility to explore the area.

The bottom line is that this is a great place to spend a vacation!

We were extremely pleased with your services. The website gave us a pretty clear picture of our accommodations and the followup worked out bringing us together with the owner. Thank you!

June 2012 - Location suited us well away from many of the other hotels and tourist accommodation yet so close to the bus stop.

Main bedroom lovely but second bedroom very dark and not so good for 2 couples sharing. Much better if the two single beds could be combined to a king size double if needed.

Great to have 2 bathrooms - the second one quite spacious.

A haven to return to with beautiful view from the balcony in the cool of the evening .

Living room furniture could be more comfortable and of higher standard.

Excellent

June 2012 - We loved our stay at Villa Corradina. The villa was very spacious and located well, with a 10 minute walk to the beach front. The view was magical and we thoroughly enjoyed staying here.

The steps up to the villa were fine - I took them slowly at 6 months pregnant, but my 2 1/2 daughter whizzed up with no problem.

The owner was very welcoming and helpful.

Would definitely recommend to friends and stay here again.

We have already recommended Summer in Italy to friends and to a family we met on holiday. Your service, welcome and the way you have looked after us is first rate. We would not hesitate to use your company again. We felt very relaxed knowing that you were there to help us have a fantastic holiday. Thank you so much!

May 2012 - Villa Corradina was very nice. Just as advertised. Great location for touring the Amalfi coast, not just Positano.

An excellent place overall.

April 2012 - We loved Villa Corradina, although you need to understand there are plenty of stairs that you have to go up... but that's Positano...

The location is great, and remember it's not a hotel so you can't expect hotel bathrooms or bedrooms... they are more family like, clean and comfy but not elaborate. The Villa is a great size for 2 couples or a family. We found the kitchen good enough to cook all sorts of meals in, although small it will have everything that you need.

The caretaker was extremely helpful and you know when he says to call him if there is an issue he means it. We were grateful to have a parking bay allocated to us, about 400 metres down the hill, in Positano car bays must be like hens teeth.

We have been travelling in Italy for a month now and have experienced enough places to know that the Villa Corradina is both a great location and great value for money. We have no hesitation about recommending it. Have fun... we did.

September 2011 - Fantastic location, an easy walk to everything, and gorgeous views. Even the daily 50 steps up to the villa were not difficult, and having the bus-stop right across the street was a big plus. The 200 steps up from the beach were a challenge, but this was well-worth it, and I would do it again (and I did!) A great place! New, more comfortable furniture in the living room would be my only suggestion.

You guys did a great job, and I would certainly recommend you for future needs.

September 2011 - We loved that there was so much room and the view was spectacular.

It would have been nice to have a little larger terrace, but we did enjoy sitting out there. We had a wonderful time there; would have liked the lights for the steps not to have to turn off at night, as it was difficult to get up at night.

Your pictures and the location helped us decide on your place. We also liked that you sent us Summer in Italy newsletters.

August 2011 - We were absolutely delighted with Villa Corradina. It is a lovely place to stay, well decorated and ideal for a family.

August 2011 - It's a great place. There were 4 of us (7 and 4 year old). Allows you more space to allow for differing bed times etc. Don't be put off by the small balcony space it is more than adequate to sit and enjoy the beautiful view and glass of wine.

At the foot of the stairs there is a convenience store and around a 10 min walk into the main town. All in all a pretty decent but basic place.

Villa has access to a private pebble beach which is a good 10 min walk away.

Overall the experience was good and we would stay in Villa Corradina again.

October 2010 - We really enjoyed our stay at the Villa Corradina. We were sorry we only booked it for a week!

The villa is in a great location, not far from the centre of Positano and right beside the main bus stop (Sponda), which makes it very convenient. There is a small shop at the bottom of the steps that lead up to the villa and this makes it very handy for stocking up on the basics like bread and milk.

The villa itself is very spacious, bigger than it looks on the website. The view from the terrace is fantastic. This is a great spot to sit out and relax with a bottle of wine (or two!). All the essentials that you need (washing machine, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, lots of towels, adaptors etc) are on site and will help lighten your packing.

Overall we found the property excellent and would have no hesitation recommending it.

We found the website to be one of the best we have used. The amount of pictures and detail about the property is fantastic and a great help when trying to chose. Any queries we had were answered very quickly and overall we found dealing with Summer in Italy a very good experience. We will be definitely be booking through you again and we will recommend you our friends.

October 2010 - Villa Corradina was fabulous. It was spacious and the views from each room were wonderful.

Although we were only two people, having the two bedrooms and two bathrooms was greatly appreciated. The architecture of the interior with vaulted ceilings and arched windows added to the beauty. Photos can not do the view of the mountains and the ocean. We could have stayed for weeks. The stairs were not as difficult as we expected.

We hope to return.

As a base for our holiday we were delighted in the location which was a short walk to town and great views along the way.

It is a very large place with ornate ceilings so you wake up in the morning with lots of space and then the fresh air comes and you can have trouble getting out of bed!

You are extremely friendly and helpful and went out of your way to help us with non-accommodation issues. I will only come back to Positano after booking my accommodation with you. Thank you for making our time a dream holiday and wedding.

We felt at home in the Villa, which is very bright and roomy with a wonderful view.

We did not mind the 54 steps to the villa, it helped us burn off the food and wine!

The owner was very nice and accommodating. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. The only thing missing was a radio.

You have been extremely helpful with our reservations, and providing us with the necessary information needed before our arrival. I am recommending you to all of those who are traveling to Italy. I will definitely use you again! Many thanks for your great service.

October 2009 - We loved our stay at Villa Corradina. Other than being a little noisy from barking dogs and motorcycle traffic on the road below, it was a lovely apartment with an amazing view. We were able to walk into Positano several times a day because of its close proximity to shops and restaurants. It also has its own private beach which we only used once -- only wished we had taken the time to use it more often.

The owner helped us carry our luggage up the steep stairs when we arrived, which was very helpful. Also, the hairdryer didn't work, so within an hour of calling him, he brought over a new one for us. Very nice and accommodating to our needs.

We would not hesitate to rent Villa Corradina again if we are ever lucky enough to come back to Positano!

Summer In Italy was a great place to rent from. Your website is definitely one of the best out there. Our entire experience was very positive and couldn't have been any better! Thanks again!!

The villa is in a great position and the views were amazing. We really couldn't have hoped for anything better!

Excellent

September 2009 - This is a lovely apartment with a clean, minimalist feeling to it, yet still warm and welcoming. There was plenty of space for 3 adults and 3 children and we felt very at home. The only downsides are the location & terrace. The apartment is a bit more off the beaten path than the places we've rented previously in Positano. It's a 10- 15 minute walk to the main beach and another 10 minutes to Il Fornillo. And the terrace is unusually shallow for Positano and really is not suitable for outdoor dining unless you are just a couple.

All that said, I would happily stay here again. The owners were very nice and Summer in Italy made the whole process as easy as ever.

You're great. We'll book with you again.

Excellent

August 2009 - Wonderful stay in Positano!

All was magnificent.

Royal apartments, much bigger than it is declared.

The fine arrangement of apartments allows to be in the centre of events.

The bus stop at an input in apartments, allows to do pleasant travel on all Amalfi coast.

And doubtless advantage of these apartments - an unusual private beach which owners give to visitors.

Many thanks for a happy vacation.

July 2009 - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Corradina.

The apartment is much more spacious than we expected, and the location is located close enough to town and Spiaggia Grande to reach those areas in a 10-15 minute walk but far enough away to avoid the noise and congestion of being right in town.

We enjoyed very pleasant evenings sitting on the patio, enjoying the views towards Praiano.

October 2008 - My husband and I were here on our honeymoon and liked it very much. The villa overall is very spacious and comfortable, and it is right in town so it is just a short walk to the center of Positano.

Because it is on a main road, there is a lot of traffic during the day (keep in mind the villa is a ways above the road) it can be a little noisy. But after hours it is very peaceful and quiet.

The private beach is a little bit of a walk, but is absolutely worth the effort! We spent several days lounging around and swimming.

Overall, we were thrilled with the villa - it is exactly as advertised. Thank you!!!

Very nice villa with good taste of the inside decoration.

Very typical Italian house and the person that welcomed us was very nice. Thank you!

I wouldn't recommend the villa if you have children less than 5 years old and for people who have health problems, because of the stairs to climb reaching the villa every time you go in town.

Excellent

August 2008 - We enjoyed our time at Villa Corradina. It was a great apartment.

We would have like to have a larger balcony or outside terrace where we could take in the beautiful views... the balcony is only about 3 feet wide.

The kitchen is very small but workable as long as you keep things simple.

The owners were great the private beach was a huge bonus to us as the beach in Positano was always crowded and expensive... the only down side with the private beach was the 273 stairs (my wife counted them).

I know it must be tough describing these places especially to someone from North America... I was prepared, my family were less prepared... but once they realised there is no level land in Positano they got in to it and we went up and down into town every day sometime twice a day.
