Highly recommend for anyone wanting a true Italian stay!
October 2024 - Perfectly located with breathtaking views, this authentic Italian home was everything we hoped for. Communication was seamless, and the host made everything easy. We loved being just a short walk from grocery stores and great restaurants, although the uphill return kept us active! The charm and authenticity of the house added so much to our experience. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a true Italian stay!

Mamma Mia, truly wonderful!
October 2024 - I loved our stay at Villa Eunice and highly recommend it to anyone coming to Positano. This two level neat and spacious villa is exactly as portrayed in the Summer In Italy ad except for a few important items.
First, the scenery is much more magnificent and breathtaking. You can spend hours, day or night, sitting out on the villa's terraces taking in the spectacular views. Truly amazing.
Second, Stefania [the property manager] is by far the best host I have ever had. She provided information, organized car service, offered suggestions and help and even got me out of bed on two or three occasions. Everyone should have a Stefania in their life. She is lovely, friendly and hardworking. Mamma mia! Davvero perfetta.
Three, Stefania and family own the 'Hotel Open Gate' in Praiano which is about 8 km from Positano. She invited us to their restaurant and arranged for a car to pick up and return to Villa Eunice. Her restaurant is in a wonderful location with beautiful views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Stefania greeted us in a stylish black suit and treated us royally. She said the restaurant is known for their seafood and I had a primo of mixed mussels and clam soutè and a secondo of sea bass in a light tomato soup and I must say that they were the two best dishes I had on the Amalfi Coast. Così delizioso. Mamma mia!
Summer In Italy and Luca have provided the best service of any booking agency that I have used. Thank you for the information, help and the ease of communicating.
Travel tips
- 1. Read the guide book that Stefania and Sofia have left explaining the villa, restaurants, sights, transportation, etc. They also will answer all your questions. Make sure you get their WhatsApp numbers correctly entered into your phone because it may be hectic your first day or so and they are more than willing to help.
- 2. Transportation! Mamma Mia! Learn how it works! Buses and scooters are the main methods as well as cars which are driven by local daredevils or terrified idiot tourists.
- 3. Transportation! 'One way internal loop!' It might be best for first time travellers to take an 'internal' bus (or pricey car/taxi) and do a circuit of Positano in order to get familiar with restaurant and shop areas and how the bus system works. It is basically a one way loop and can get extremely busy with packed buses that can't take on anymore passengers. One evening we took a bus to a restaurant that was further down the slope and after the meal we waited an hour for a bus back that took us to the town centre where we had to get off and wait another hour for the bus ride back up to the villa. The next day we went for a walk down many steps and found our last night's restaurant. We had a drink and decided to walk back up on the one way road with the traffic coming at us. We timed our walk and it was seven minutes to the villa! Mamma Mia!
- 4. For older travellers exploring Positano. RULE: Walk down...ride up. The three of us are 75+ years old. Positano is a small town and a 'healthy' hiker could easily walk around the whole town from Villa Eunice back to Villa Eunice in four to five hours (stopping for beer). However, if you are older and not into walking, try walking down to where you want to go and take a bus/car back up. We walked from the villa to the main beach using the stairs in twenty five minutes and congratulated ourselves with wine, beer and lunch. We took the bus back.
- 5. For older travellers exploring the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Salerno and Pompeii. Car,bus or ferry. You can do it by bus but there may be lineups at transfer / return stops. We wanted to take a ferry from Positano to Salerno and Stefania suggested we use a private car to get us to Salerno which was no more expensive and stopped for sights and quick tours of Amalfi and Ravello on the way there. As it turned out the ferry we had booked couldn't sail because of high surf. A private car for us, because of our age, turned out to be the best way to go between towns.
- 6. When walking on the roads make sure to face the traffic. There are few sidewalks and if there is one it usually has restaurant tables or cars and scooters on it.
- 7. Getting to Villa Eunice. By bus, get off at the Chiesa Nuova bus top. By taxi tell them to go to Chiesa Nuova or Bar Internazionale. The villa is straight down the one way Viale Pasitea about 100 meters. You will see the back garage door of the villa (see photo in Summer In Italy photos). The entrance to the villa is on a path to the right of the garage at door.
- 8. At the top of the hill next to Bar Internazionale is a wonderful restaurant, Il Grottino Azzurro, terrific people.
- 9. You will also get a great deal of help and information from Luca at Summer In Italy which was excellent to deal with.
- 10. Read the many reviews of Villa Eunice in the Summer In Italy website and note the tips other travellers have offered. Also you will note that every review shows the great appreciation of all of us who have stayed at Villa Eunice and had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Stefania who taught me how to use 'Mamma Mia'.
- Arrivederci e grazie mille! Mamma mia che momento meraviglioso, Larry Small, Winnipeg, Canada.

The view! There are no words!
April 2024 - We enjoy the villa very much. It was a dream to live in a beautiful villa for a week. The view! There are no words! We enjoyed walking everywhere and having the little shops and restaurants nearby.
The sisters who care for the house were always available, accommodating and hospitable.
Positano is a lovely and welcoming place and the perfect area for home base. We took many trips by driver, taxi, boat and bus to the surrounding towns and islands.
Summer In Italy made booking easy and every question answered in a timely manner. It felt reassuring to have a company that rented several beautiful villas, be our concierge and go between. They have specific criteria that help the owner and the vacationers. We would highly recommend using them.

This villa is everything you could ask for, and more!
September 2023 - This villa is everything you could ask for, and more! It is well kept, clean, large for the money, and in a fantastic location for bus access and excellent restaurants within walking distance.
The first thing you notice when you arrive is the amazing view of the water from the terrace balcony. After nearly a day of travel from the US, we were exhausted by the time we arrived. We dropped our bags and immediately went out and sat at the edge of the terrace and looked out at the wonder and splendor of the view for a good while. One thing led to another, and I ended up asking my girlfriend to marry me right then and there! Glad I did it at the beginning and not the end of our stay as we enjoyed being able to tell people we met during the week.
Over the week, we had some of the best traditional southern Italian meals you could imagine, all within walking distance. We took cooking classes, excursions to Ravello and Amalfi, a boat to Capri for the day, and sipped some of the best wine in the country. But even with all that, we commented to each other that our favorite spot by far was the edge of that terrace, every morning and evening, looking out over the mountains and ocean, either sipping coffee or wine. Trust me, you'll feel the same.
The booking process was smooth as silk. Stefania and Sofia, the propery managers, were great to work with and spoke excellent English. (Thank you both, ladies!) And download WhatsApp! Everyone uses it and assumes you do as well.

August 2023 - Villa Eunice was an amazing place to stay. The location was excellent, and home was very nice. The terrace was beautiful with a wonderful view.
The owner of the home went beyond expectations in helping me with travel arrangements, activities, and restaurant suggestions.
The representatives at Summer In Italy were professional, responsive and very helpful.

Wonderful property with extraordinary views
July 2023 - This is a wonderful property. It has everything and more. The property is a 2 minute walk to the buses and taxi rank. There is a grocery store, restaurants and bar 2 minutes away also. The balconies are wonderful the views extraordinary and the outside furniture perfect as well as sun lounges and outside shower. The air conditioning works very well. The beds are comfortable and quality linen.
Stefania is an extraordinary host helping us in every way possible with wonderful recommendations for restaurants and how to get about Positano. Thank you Stefania for everything - including organising our luggage to be taken to the port. We loved our stay in Positano at your villa. So many beautiful memories created.

Stefania [the caretaker] was a wonderful host and really was a great resource for local events and things to do. We also visited her restaurant "Open Gate" in Praiano and had the best meal all week!
You all communicated well. Understood that we had to reschedule several times due to Covid and provided us with great information on tours and excursions.

Taste of Paradise
April 2023 - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, spacious home featuring two large bedrooms and separate baths, and a large terrace with breathtaking views of the Positano harbor.
Ideally located near grocery store and cafe/restaurants, and bus stop for trips to other cities on Amalfi Coast and different bus that takes you around Positano.
Hostesses were very responsive to our questions, check-in and out process was seamless, and they provided helpful information regarding appliances at villa as well as information on Positano. Also helped us secure wonderful driver to take us to Naples. Highly recommend this taste of Paradise!

Centrally located villa with an amazing terrace and a fabulous view
April 2023 - We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Eunice! The terrace was amazing -- very expansive and with a fabulous view of Positano and the sea. We enjoyed having our breakfast coffee and evening wine out on the terrace.
The villa was centrally located, a short walk to shops, restaurants, and the shore. We had the perfect trip!
We had a great experience!
Travel tips
- Bring your walking shoes! Positano is beautiful -- and very steep! Shops and restaurants are close by, but you'll be walking down a bunch of stairs (and then back up again at the end of the night)!

I would gladly do it again!
June 2022 - After having twice spent a week there over the last 10 years I would gladly do it again, if my age wasn't impacting my ability to easily get around a lovely place like Positano.
Fortunately, the villa is at the top of the steep hill on which the town of Positano has developed. The local bus with a stop a mere block from Villa Eunice is a help as transport passengers about halfway down to the beach, it's on foot the rest of the way.
I felt Summer In Italy made the process very easy and transparent. I was especially satisfied that they honored my initial deposit completely after the Covid forced us to cancel our original booking.
Travel tips
- Too many to name... The choice is almost overwhelming. Never had a bad experience on any business we visited.
- Favorite sights/events? Eating, drinking and great boat excursions to places like Capri, Sorrento, Naples, etc.

May 2022 - As spectacular as the photos of this property are, they do not do it justice. None could.
Perched above Positano, the mountain falls away below you to the sea. The terraces are the perfect place to enjoy the ever-changing sea and sky, sunrise to sunset, and the moon shimmers its way across the sea at night. And the house! It gleams with color and vivid detail, and every room looks out over those same vistas. Comfortably appointed, book extra time, because there are days you won't want to leave, and why should you? But when you do leave, and wind your way down the steps to the city and the beaches, you'll be grateful for such a close-in place. And don't worry, the convenient orange bus will bring you right back to the top of the hill, with the convenient and surprisingly well-stocked grocery, bar, tabac and fish markets.
Of course you'll want to explore further afield... Capri, Sorrento, Salerno, all a quick ferry-ride away. Do not miss the Blue Grotto! Taste some limoncello, visit Pompeii, do what you like... but if you book this house, you'll be glad you did, every day of your visit!

It was even better than expected
October 2021 - We expected this to be very nice from photos, descriptions, and reviews. It was even better than expected.
Both bedrooms are spacious, one with corner windows and the other with an attached terrace. The main terrace offers a post card view of the rest of Positano and the boats bobbing in the Med. This would very easily accommodate two couples or a family. The kitchen works! And the rest of the living space is inviting and comfortable.
We were met on arrival as promised. The owner/local landlady made it all easy. This was a treat.
Villa Eunice sits high in Positano, so it is a walk (or ride on the bus going through town) to most of the restaurants, but the view is exceptional.
Travel tips
- It may be difficult to get a bad meal in Positano. The local seafood is exceptional. Two standout meals were at Restaurant Max and Restaurant Da Vincenzo.
- The main road takes you everywhere, and the many staircases will deliver you somewhere sooner than later. Finding that somewhere is part of the magic of Positano.
- We took the bus once to Amalfi (leaves just 50 yards up the hill from the property), and the ferry once to Capri (from the water at the bottom of the road/stairs). Both were easy to navigate and negotiate.

Staying at Villa Eunice was the most amazing experience
September 2019 - Staying at Villa Eunice was the most amazing experience from the location, views and a very helpful, friendly host.
Stefania [the caretaker] couldn't have done more to make our stay more easy and pleasurable.
Travel tips
- Hiring our own boat with a guide for 4 hours which included swimming, drinks and the invaluable knowledge of a local who shared his passion for Amalfi.
- Taking the ferry to Amalfi and going to the paper factory as well as getting the red bus (open on top with audio guide excellent value for 10 euro) to go up to Ravello.

No stairs!
July 2019 - Villa Eunice was a perfect spot for our family of 5! Positano is a town of stairs and it was so nice that you can enter this property with just a 15 foot slope down from the street - no stairs!
The outdoor space is really large and the views are spectacular! Being at the top of town was great. The beds are firm and the showers small but we found that to be the case throughout Italy.
Summer In Italy was great to work with! Very responsive, helpful and will definitely be booking through them again for our next trip!
Travel tips
- Take the Interno Positano bus from Bar Internazionale down to the beach the first time so you know where to pick up the bus for the ride back up.
- You can buy bus tickets and get the schedule at the little shop diagonally across from Bar Internazionale.
- It worked best for us to walk down to town (either by stairs or the road) and then take the bus back up.
- Bus is crowded and hot but the ride is only 10 mins or less. Once you figure out the "little bus", life is good in Positano!
- I would suggest touring Pompeii on your way down to Positano from Naples. Arrange your transfer to wait and hold your luggage while you tour.
- One of the best meals we had was at Restaurant La Tagliata at the very top of Positano. Email them to make a reservation and they will arrange transportation to and from the restaurant.
- One of our best days was chartering a boat (Valentine's Boat Rent in Positano) for the day to tour the Amalfi Coast. We could go anywhere we wanted and stop to jump into the cool water at our leisure.
- As others have mentioned, Bar Internazionale cannot be missed. Fun to hang with the locals and get a delicious bite and coffee or prosecco!
- Shopping is great in Positano - follow the winding road down to the beach and hit all the nice shops along the way.
- Stefania, the property manager, made us a lasagna one night when we were going to be out all day - a nice treat to come home to!

We booked with Summer In Italy because of the picture we saw of the villa. It was an easy process and the information about transportation, getting a car service was helpful.

Excellent stay, highly recommended
April 2019 - As a result of what we had seen on the website, we had high expectations and we were not disappointed.
The place was spotlessly clean, well-equipped and accurately described on the website: a luxurious amount of space in a town where every square inch of cliff-side space is intensively used.
Stefania, the local manager, was a delight to deal with. Her English is excellent, her attitude very friendly, proactive and positive. If ever we had a slight problem, she was very quick to solve it and communicated very efficiently through WhatsApp.
Positano itself is a real gem and an excellent base for visiting the Amalfi coast. Some of the notable positives of this property included, among others, a combination of closeness to the street (so no lugging suitcases up and down steps) but despite this, it was very quiet; outstanding views over the bay across Positano and to the south, as well as towards Capri and the north; good location for local bus journeys if desired; closeness to two local convenience stores and several suppliers of food and drink and, for those who are fit, not too long of a walk up from sea level - it took us about 35 minutes, but we are reasonably fit!
All in all, an excellent stay and highly recommended

It was everything we hoped for and more
September 2018 - Villa Eunice was wonderful, it was everything we hoped for and more. The space in the villa was perfect. It felt like we were guests in someone’s home and we truly enjoyed the warm feel. All of the rooms are so nice and the light from all the windows and doors helped to bring the outside in. The terrace was our favorite space of all and was where we spent most of our time. The views were priceless!
We appreciate the owner allowing us to stay in such a beautiful spot. Also, we were so appreciative to Stefania [the caretaker] for letting us check-in a little early, and for giving us good advice on the porter service for our bags.
We have used other rental services while traveling in the past and feel that Summer In Italy was a very good option for booking our stay in Positano. The description of the villas on the web site made it very easy to understand what each of them offered. The communication with the staff, especially Luca, during the process was also very helpful.
Travel tips
- The villa is up high in Positano which is beautiful for the views, and is a lot quieter that being in the “hustle and bustle” of the lower areas. That said, there are less shops and restaurants nearby.
- The Bar Internazionale is a short walk away and has wonderful baked goods and coffee and excellent gelato. I think their lemon gelato was the best we had!
- There are a couple of good restaurants within walking distance. We really liked Restaurant C'era una volta and went there twice, once for a great pasta dinner and once for pizza.
- We also went to Restaurant Da Costantino which was a few hundred steps up from the villa. They offer a free shuttle service which we used to get there and we walked back down after dinner. This was a great spot. A family owned restaurant with excellent choices.
- We spent a full day away from the villa at The Excavations of Pompeii and had arranged for dinner to be dropped off while we were gone. It was great to come back and have dinner in the fridge. The food was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed it on the terrace. Great way to end an awesome day.
- All the buses pick up right at Bar Internazionale which made getting around very convenient.

It is simply one word. Heaven.
August 2018 - I am 51 years old and have traveled to 71 countries in my lifetime so far. The Amalfi Coast is by far my favorite and the most beautiful place in the world. I have stayed in this area 4 times, including the amazing Bellevue Syrene in Sorrento.
Villa Eunice is BY FAR THE BEST place I have ever stayed anywhere in Italy. #1!!! The pictures on Summer In Italy actually don't do it justice. It is simply one word. Heaven. The perfect location, the perfect view and the perfect villa for a family to stay. It was perfect!
Stefania [the caretaker] was extremely helpful, checking in every day to see if we needed anything, offering to place a home cooked meal / wine in the refrigerator for us on our arrival and one day she knew we would be out on a boat all day, making restaurant reservations for us and using her pull to get us the best table in the restaurant. In this case, a window seat table at Restaurant Da Costantino.
I will book with Summer In Italy again. Luca was on top of every detail the whole way through!
Travel tips
- Great location near major bus stop.
- Bar Internazionale right next to the bus stop was our mainstay for coffee, breakfast, lunch snacks and late night drinks. Coffee Martini was the best I have ever had.
- The restaurant next door to bar is fantastic as well and only a few hundred yards from the villa.
- Restaurant Da Costantino will pick you up for free and then it is an easy walk down the stairs back to the villa when dinner is done.
- We took 1 cooking class at Restaurant Il Ritrovo and 2 classes at Restaurant Casa Mele and both were excellent! Everyone who loves food and goes to Italy should take at least one cooking class. It is a fantastic experience.

We’re already planning our return next year!
July 2018 - Villa Eunice exceeded our expectations. It is beautiful, spacious, well kept and the views will truly take your breathe away. Sitting on the deck enjoying the breeze and our coffee was one of our favorite things to do at the villa. We’re already planning our return next year!
Stefania, the property manager, was also easy to communicate with and helped us with anything that we needed.
Extremely easy to work with! Great company and communication, Summer In Italy made our trip to Positano even more enjoyable than the last!
Travel tips
- The location has perks for many reasons.
- It’s on a main road, meaning no stairs to take your luggage up and down (this is very rare for Positano).
- There is a great cafe and market just a couple minutes from the villa. This was extremely helpful for us. Each morning we took our kids to pick pastry and orange juice in the morning.
- A part from walking on the main road, there are shortcuts to the beach and main town in Positano that require many stairs (approx 17-25 minutes depending on how fast you can walk). This could be a challenge for anyone with a very young baby or out of shape but taking the bus is a very easy option, as it stops right outside the door. We personally didn’t mind the walk down. Our two boys ( 10 and 6 yrs) also had no problems with the stairs. We viewed it as our exercise for the day to balance out all the amazing food we eat during our stay!

Villa Eunice is a little piece of paradise!
June 2018 - Villa Eunice is a little piece of paradise! My husband and I and our three older sons enjoyed a week at this beautiful villa. We spent the majority of our time enjoying the gorgeous view on the beautiful terraces when we were at the villa. The pullout sofa in the 3rd bedroom on the first floor was extremely comfortable compared to some of the firmer Italian beds that we encountered on our trip. Definitely enough beds for adults.
Stefania [the caretaker] and her sister were wonderful with the check in and providing us with dinner the first night of our stay (she was a wonderful hostess at her restaurant). She was available at all times with any questions we had regarding the villa and the Amalfi Coast.
Summer In Italy was very professional to work with and Luca answered any questions I had regarding the villa, reservation, and Amalfi Coast. I loved getting the newsletters and trip planning information and I can't wait to plan my next trip with Luca. I will definitely recommend Summer In Italy to my traveling friends and family.
Travel tips
- There really is no way to get lost in Positano. The road going uphill will take you to your villa and the road going down will take you to the beach. If you take any of the stairs then you will skip a loop of the road. It takes about 20 minutes to walk down to the Spiaggia Grande Beach.
- Taking the local internal bus is always an option too.
- The market/groceries, Tabacchi and Bar Internazionale are all next to each other and just a short walk from the villa.
- Definitely go to the market with a 1.5 liter water bottle and fill up wine from the barrel for 2 Euro!
- We loved Da Ferdinando Beach Bar on Fornillo Beach. We would catch the water taxi from the main dock over to the quieter beach. The walk over to that beach is also beautiful. I would suggest some sort of water/beach shoes as the pebbles on the beach are very hot and some are sharp which makes it hard to walk gracefully. Chair rental is 10 Euro/day.
- We enjoyed a day on a boat and visited Capri. If you go, take the chairlift up to Anacapri. Breathtaking views! Make sure you stop at Nerano's for lunch!
- We hired a driver for the day and visited Ravello and Amalfi and the Emerald Grotto.
- Restaurants we enjoyed in Positano: Mediterraneo (live music on Monday, Wednesday, Friday), Saraceno D' Oro (really good pizza), Le Sirenuse (we just went for drinks, beautiful!), Music on the Rocks (must be 21 and they strictly enforced this, opens at 11:30 pm), La Tagliata (has a set menu each day depending on what mama cooks at 40 Euro per person, unlimited food and wine. Make a reservation and ask for the shuttle which will pick you up at the Post Office close to Bar Internazionale. GO HUNGRY and definitely sit in the main dining room), Open Gate (take the local bus to Praiano and make sure to alert the bus driver to stop immediately after the tunnel).

Our visit to Positano and our stay at Villa Eunice was everything we dreamed it would be
June 2018 - Our visit to Positano and our stay at Villa Eunice was everything we dreamed it would be. The location is removed from the seaside commercial area, but easy to access via the local bus which is just up the street. The views from the villa’s terraces are hard to describe...
We loved the villa for its comfort, its character, its history and its view. The villa is clean and comfortable; the kitchen is very well equipped and charming. The villa seemed big for just the two of us; it would be fine for 2 couples or a family. If given the opportunity, we’ll definitely go back.
Stefania [the property manager] is a wonderful hostess. She kept in touch with us throughout the week, making sure we had enough towels, etc...
Going through Summer In Italy was much easier than other web sites because we always had a real person we could reach out to for advice! Thanks for all YOUR help. We’ll touch back with you on our next trip to Italy.
Travel tips
- We thought we were prepared for the ubiquitous stairs throughout Positano, but it was a super challenge.
- You’ll love the people and the food.
- There’s a very small, but nice family-run grocery store up the street, as well as the Bar Internazionale (great for coffee and pastry) and a family-run restaurant next door.
- Positano is a small place and all the locals seem to be related! We told the folks at the restaurant we were guests of Stefania (their cousin) and were treated like royalty!
- Also had a fabulous dinner at Restaurant Rossellinis.
- If you go to Positano, be sure to make a side trip to Ravello. It's gorgeous!
- Stefania and Summer In Italy will advise you on obtaining drivers from the airport/train station and also to go places like Ravello. We really enjoyed Giancarlo from Limousine Sorrento Renato Cuomo.

We loved our stay at Villa Eunice!
April 2018 - We loved our stay at Villa Eunice! The view from the terrace was incredible! We did not need to go out for dinner or breakfast, we often ate on the beautiful terrace. There was grocery, bus stop and bar all within walking distance - right up the street. It was very convenient! The location was a bit removed from the city center, which has it's pros and cons. It was very quiet and relaxing, but we did have to walk a bit to get to the beach / city center where most of the shopping was. However, we did not mind the exercise with all the amazing food we were eating!
Stefania was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed. She was very gracious and made us feel at home.
We loved booking with Summer In Italy because it made everything so easy! We also felt safe booking with a company that had good reviews.
Travel tips
- The local bus that runs up and down Positano stops right up the street - very convenient.
- Bar Internazionale is also up the street for the best little sandwiches and night cap.
- We would recommend taking a private boat trip to Capri. We used Positano Boats and were very impressed. It is so relaxing and you will feel like you are on top of the world. DO NOT do a ferry - so crowded and you do not get the opportunity to jump in the refreshing blue waters like we did with our private tour!

Our stay at Villa Eunice was great!
April 2018 - Our stay at Villa Eunice was great! The location of this villa is perfect with great views and ease of getting around. Beautiful accommodation, very spacious!
Very close to the Sita bus stop which made getting around easy. A meat market and two small food markets are also within short walking distance.
The property manager, Stefania, was super! She explained everything well and checked with us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. Thank you, Stefania!
We knew someone who had stayed at Villa Eunice before and they recommended it.
Travel tips
- Use Rick Steve's guide. It was very helpful.
- We took the bus to Amalfi and then to Bomerano to do the Path of the Gods hike. Long, but beautiful! You need to be in pretty good shape to do this hike.
- There is no need for a car. Bus system and ferry transportation are both great!

Wonderful place
October 2017 - Villa Eunice was a wonderful place that allowed me and my husband to experience Positano and the nearby towns comfortably. Sitting above the busy (but fun) town, gave us the quiet and privacy that we were looking for. The view was MAGNIFICENT!!! We spent many of our breakfasts and our dinners out on the terrace. We enjoyed our evenings out there as well, nighttime with all the lights was a magical time. The villa was very clean, spacious and with a very comfortable bed. Very memorable, we didn't want to leave.
Stefania, who was our contact, was there to greet us when we arrived and was always quick to respond to our needs.
Luca and others at Summer In Italy, were also very quick to respond to us when reserving this place and the details needed to make our stay here comfortable one. All were very kind and helpful. Thank you Summer In Italy.
Travel tips
- The location was perfect - close to the city and regional buses - just a very short walk up to the bus stop. (Did not rent a car there, didn't need to.)
- The 2 grocery stores just steps away that were very well supplied and the storekeepers very kind and helpful.
- We enjoyed some wonderful "take away" from a family run restaurant not to far from the villa. I can't remember the name in Italian, but it means "Somewhere in time".
- One day we took the bus to Ravello, which was a beautiful town - Villa Cimbrone with incredible views.
- A ferry ride to Capri for a day of hiking.
- A guided trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum.
- And of course, the incredible ride along the Amalfi coastline - magnificent but bring your Dramamine!

Stefania [the property manager] was very accommodating and responsive to our requests.
We thoroughly enjoyed Villa Eunice and our time in Positano.

- It's a hike back up the stairs from the beach or shops and restaurants.
- Taxis are an option if the climb is too much for you.

The view from the terrace is spectacular!
July 2017 - We LOVED Villa Eunice. The view from the terrace is spectacular! The villa is huge - much bigger than we expected based on the photos. There are two large bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, as well as a separate sitting room with a day bed. Downstairs there are a living room, a kitchen, a half bath, and a huge terrace. We loved eating dinner on the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. If there is one downside, it is the steps down to Positano. Actually, the steps down are not that bad - it is the steps back up! But that is the price you pay for the amazing view.
Everything was perfect. We loved our stay at Villa Eunice and hope to return soon!
Travel tips
- Take the bus down to the beach and back up. It is cheap (buy tickets at the Tabacchi) and it picks up and drops off right outside Villa Eunice.
- There are some restaurants that will pick you up and drop you off too.
- We loved Restaurant Next2, Restaurant Da Vincenzo and Restaurant Da Costantino.
- For lunch, we loved the delicatessen in Positano (near the beach). Almost every day we bought fresh cheese, salami, bread, fruit and had picnics for lunch. Super delicious and cheap! You can also buy fresh pasta and their homemade sauce and cook dinner in the villa.
- Make sure you visit the Limoncello factory just outside Positano.

A piece of paradise!
May 2017 - A piece of paradise! The views from terraces were amazing. Got to watch the ferries come and go from Positano each morning. Conveniently located to travel to all towns along the Amalfi Coast.
Stefania, the property manager, kept in contact with us thru our stay to see if we needed anything.
Always great to work with Summer In Italy. Quick response, there to help with any concerns or questions you may have. Recommend to anyone looking to rent in Italy.
Travel tips
- Grocery store, fruit stand, restaurants, at top of road from villa.
- Buses to Amalfi Coast and Positano short steps from the villa.
- Town of Vietri sul Mare was a good day trip if you like ceramics. Many shops and open factories where you can see the work being done.
- Land train that runs from Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi (above Sorrento) was a fun three hours tour of stops at a monastery, farm where you sample cheese, olive oil, limoncello.

A beautiful, authentic house with an exceptional view
April 2017 - A beautiful, authentic house with an exceptional view from the house and the two fabulous terraces. There were only three of us but the house would comfortably sleep 6. There are no steps from the road to the doorway (rare in Positano and useful for luggage). There is a garage although we didn't have a car.
Stefania [the caretaker] was so helpful and welcoming.
Excellent service all the way through. We would definitely recommend Summer In Italy to others, already have done so! And will book with you again. Thank you.
Travel tips
- There are two shops for groceries etc about 150 meters away, near the bus stop.
- We used the steps to walk down to the village centre and beach and meandered back up the road rather than climbing the steps.
- We didn't use the bus but it seems the service was excellent.
- We used Amalfi Cars to arrange our transfers, recommended. Summer In Italy provided the details.
- We were so glad we didn't hire a car! Even in April parking wasn't easy in the town and it is not needed, everywhere accessible by bus or foot.
- Caught ferries several times to get to Amalfi, which we loved.
- Ravello is a must see.
- We went to Capri, Herculaneum and Pompeii from Sorrento, they are accessible from Amalfi Coast and are must sees too.
- Capri was busy so we imagine it would be crowded in the summer.
- We ate wonderful food everywhere we went - Caffè Positano, Restaurant Tre Sorelle, Restaurant L’Incanto, Restaurant Mediterraneo included.

An excellent base to explore the Amalfi Coast
October 2016 - Villa Eunice, located in Positano, is an excellent base from which to explore the Amalfi Coast. Its location, close to Bar Internazionale and the bus stops, makes it ideal. We loved the size of Villa Eunice - very spacious. Bedding was super clean and comfortable. The patio is fabulous and views are spectacular. We enjoyed breakfasts and evenings on the patio. Since we were at Villa Eunice for a week, it was wonderful to have a washing machine and a drying rack to use.
The property manager Stefania, was super helpful. Always available to assist us anytime we had a question with instructions, directions, suggestions.... Any help we needed, she was available by cell phone.
We booked with Summer In Italy because of the very thorough information and ratings on your website. We really had no surprises with our rental because everything was spelled out and clear to us. Thanks for a great week! Re-reading the information on the web site now that we are home, I would say it was all very accurate.
Travel tips
- We thought we needed a car. Wrong! We decided not to rent a car and that was a good call as the bus transportation up and down the Amalfi Coast is good and if you need to go a bit further, hire a driver. Don't attempt to drive yourself on the Amalfi Coast!
- There are staircases that you can take which lead you directly down to the beach.
- There are ferries from the beach of Positano that will take you up and down the Amalfi Coast.
- Loads of shopping up and down the streets of Positano.
- There is a grocery just up the street from Villa Eunice and we stocked up there. Also, there is a green-grocer in the same area.

One word: amazing!
August 2016 - Our visit here can be stated in one word: amazing.
I'm not sure there is a place with a better view in all of Positano. There are 3 decks to see slightly different views of the city and coast, there are views from the bedrooms, and the location is just right. You are steps from a couple of markets to get food, and the bus stop is practically outside the door.
There is a garage which makes having a car very easy, and tons of space inside. There is AC in all the living spaces and the kitchen is modern and well-equipped. My whole family enjoyed our stay immensely and we would definitely stay on this property again if we came back to the area.
Stefania, who helps manage the property, was excellent to work with and can even cook meals if you give her enough notice. She was very helpful and we have really nothing bad to say about the villa. Really a wonderful place.
Summer In Italy is a very helpful company. Very good customer service. Melanie was very responsive to all my questions and we would definitely use this service again.
Travel tips
- The smaller the car the better because there is a funky angle to get into the garage and a smaller car will make getting in and out easier.

Truly spectacular
July 2016 - We absolutely fell in love with Villa Eunice. It surpassed our expectations. Usually when you see pictures on line you think it will not look as good in person. The view was even better in person because it was panoramic! It was truly spectacular. The villa was so charming, it was perfect for our needs with plenty of space.
We came upon Summer In Italy when we found the villa on line. We felt more comfortable after reading all the reviews. They provided an excellent service. They answered all our questions and helped us every step of the way. It was easy to communicate via email. They always got back to us promptly.
Travel tips
- Villa Eunice was in an excellent location.
- The bus stop was so close.
- Bar Internazionale, a very short distance down the road, was a life saver. Loved the people who worked there. Excellent coffee, pastries, gelato, bus tickets, beverages too from water to prosecco.

Simply extraordinary
June 2016 - I really do not like to do reviews, mostly because it gives away secrets although I must say this experience we had at Villa Eunice was simply extraordinary. Better than we could ever imagine. The views cannot compare to any other location from what I could see. We did not want to leave to go anywhere. Villa Eunice captured everything that we were attempting to get from Positano.
The management should be complimented for their amazing care to the guests... Thanks Stefania!!

Lots of space
May 2016 - Villa Eunice is a beautiful villa with lots of space. The views are fabulous.
The Villa is at the top of the town and very good for buses. The local supermarkets were very close. The area was less touristy than the lower part of the town but there are a lot of steps to get down to beach unless you get the bus.
A big bonus is there are no steps from the road so easy for luggage.
Summer in Italy were very good with information and were always prompt in replying.
Travel tips
- There are three supermarkets nearby and a butcher.
- We took the boat to Da Alfonso beach restaurant which was fun.
- Go to Nocelle and walk the Path of the Gods - it is beautiful.
- The cove at Fornillo is lovely for a swim.
- Ravello and the gardens of Villa Cimbrone are worth a visit.

Loved it
May 2016 - We spent two weeks in Villa Eunice in May 2016 and loved it. It worked well for two couples, with good separation between the bedrooms.
The house is large, kitchen worked well. The terrace is outstanding with beautiful views, comfortable terrace furniture, large table.
The house is at the top of Positano, so you walk down stairs for 10 mins to get to the center and then take the bus back (to avoid the climb).
The local rep Stefania is very nice and always available if you have questions. She gave us a great introduction to the house and area.
Highly recommended.
Excellent service from Summer In Italy. They helped me sort through the available villas and answered all my questions. Thanks!
Travel tips
- Very good grocery shop (alimentari) a block away, also a cafe, bank, tabacchi, etc.
- The hiking in this area is very good.

Loved the location, the kitchen, the view from all the windows and the terrace on the first floor. The house is very spacious and enjoys a wonderful breeze. We did not need the A/C at all. Could have probably used 2 more fans for the bedrooms.
Stefania, who cares for the villa, was very nice and helpful.
Summer In Italy was extremely helpful and responsive to all our questions.

- Bring sunscreen, a hat, a great walking shoes.
- The bus stop was perfect for trips to Amalfi and Ravello.
- Easy access to the fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables stores. Also several small grocery stores that had a bit of everything.
- We enjoyed walking everyday the many steps to get to the beach and town. It was our daily workout, but not for everyone. There is a bus that rides the internal loop in Positano you can use easily.
- Highly recommend Amalfi Car service. They were so reliable and very very nice. We used them on several occasions including transportation to and from Rome to Positano and Naples. Mr Salvatore and Giancarlo were wonderful.

Terrace is fantastic... and everything else too.
The villa is very big and the four of us had plenty of space... and talk about space, the terrace is big enough to play football on.
Beautiful and clean, nice furniture, high ceiling... it's nice if you are about 2-meter tall...
I could go on with a long list here... lets just say: IT'S AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
This was our third trip with Summer In Italy since we discovered you in 2012 and its just perfect for us. We already planning our next trip with your Company. Everybody we hear thinking of vacationing in Italy we recommend travel with Summer in Italy warmly.
Travel tips
- Three, maybe four food stores very near and the local bus just up the block... there you can also catch the SITA bus that goes along the coast.
- Be sure to drink local wine... Campanian wines are among the best in Italy.
- Food is good everywhere in Positano... we have been there five times now and never had a bad meal. Our favorites are...Le Tre Sorelle, Ristorante da Bruno and many more...
- Take a walk in the mountains... incredible views.

June 2013 - Villa Eunice is a very well kept property in a great location in Positano. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we would especially like to thank Stefania [the caretaker] for being an exceptional host during our visit.
The entire Summer In Italy team is extremely professional. I have been in the event marketing business for over 30 years and I appreciate the level of service and attention to detail. Many thanks for a job well done!
Travel tips
- The views from the terrace are spectacular because the villa is quite high on the mountainside. But with that said, be aware that the majority of restaurants, shops, beach, etc... are many steps down the mountain. Be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes and consider taking the bus back up to the villa (only 2 euro).

May 2013 - We loved Villa Eunice and Positano.
A grocery store, fruit/veg stand, pharmacy and bar/bakery is just up the street. Both the Positano and SITA bus stops outside the bar. Just outside the villa are three sets of stairs, one to the beach, one to the town center and one to a lower road with great restaurants and some shops. The villa is situated high in the town with amazing views. We chose to walk the many steps to "down town" every day, both for the exercise and the wonderful views at each twist and turn, but the bus is an option if you are not up for it.
Stefania takes care of the property. She is so helpful and makes herself available if you need anything. Her family hotel in Praiano is well worth a visit... the bus drops you off just up the street from the hotel, the food was excellent and they made us feel so welcome.
Would highly recommend this villa.

Everything you need is very close. Stefania suggested a car and a driver for all our excursions. A boat for Capri and told us anything we wanted to know. She also has a beautiful restaurant in Praiano. She was lovely and very helpful. Do note that we were there September 21st thru the 29th of 2012 and there are some mosquitoes, so, bring your bug spray.

August 2012 - We just spent a month in Italy and started our trip at Villa Eunice. Without a doubt, it was my favorite part of the trip and I can not wait to go back.
It was beautiful and the perfect location. Really, they are not kidding - steps to the bus to town and a great market and more (plus a small park across the street for our daughter).
The view was breathtaking, overlooking the ocean.
The manager was wonderful and helpful too.
Really, I do not work for these people, but had such a fabulous time - book it and love Positano...

- There is a fabulous market just down the hill around the curve from the villa.
- Buy your bus tickets at the shop outside the stop - you will use them. I did the steps a couple time, but only down.

July 2012 - Villa Eunice is a wonderful oasis, with amazing views and a great location.
The house is spacious, clean and quiet with ample room for all. We travelled with two teenagers -- they loved the house and enjoyed their own bathroom. The kitchen is well-appointed and the washing machine is a welcome addition. Travelling with two teenage daughters, we made good use of the washing machine.
If you can afford the property, it is well worth the price. There is no wifi, however.
Outstanding service from start to finish. We have already recommended your company to friends and hope to use you again in the future. Thank you, Luca, and everybody at Summer In Italy!
Ciao for now!
Travel tips
- Be sure to get to know the owners of Bar Internazionale! They are wonderful.
- Check out the little restaurant next to Bar Internazionale... great food, wonderful local color.
- All buses stop on the street. We would walk to the beach and take the bus back.
- Be sure to check out Trattoria Da Armandino in La Praia Beach -- they pick you up in a boat and take you to their wonderful restaurant.
- Grocery store is nearby, along with various vegetable stands etc.
- Villa Eunice is in a great location, especially if you would like to get out of the tourist maze below.
- Be sure to contact Zia Lucy -- we enjoyed a wonderful morning hiking the Path of the Gods, including a picnic!

July 2012 - Superb location and villa!
Amazing views. Very responsive and friendly caretakers. Perfect for a family wanting peace and quiet yet close to restaurants, the main road and the town bus stop.
Had an amazing time and would stay here again.
The garage was a nice bonus for our van.
Travel tips
- If planning to arrive by car do not come in a large van. We had VW Touran and it fit perfectly in the garage.: The beach is not that close but the bus stop is a minute away.

June 2012 - We loved Villa Eunice! The view is amazing! We spent most of our time sitting on the terrace, drinking in the scenery and ambiance of Positano. Loved every minute.
The location is perfect as a jumping off point to just about anything you could want to see.
Stefania (the property manager) is incredible and was able to tell us everything we needed to know to make our plans run smoothly. She is also so very nice and her family's restaurant in Praiano was excellent! I can't say enough good things about her.
We enjoyed the best vacation of our lives at Villa Eunice. We hope to see it again soon.
Summer in Italy made our trip planning so very easy! Everything was perfect from the first contact through our stay in Positano. I would highly recommend them to anyone who asks.
Travel tips
- The kitchen had everything we needed, and we did some cooking at the villa.
- The grocery store and produce market are a short walk from the villa.
- The bus stop in right outside the door.
- We had no problem with bugs.
- It has air conditioning if you want it, but we were there the middle of June and did not need it.
- An ironing board was available.

May 2012 - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Eunice. The view must be one of the best in the world. The terrace was wonderful, with wisteria blooms hanging over our table. We would have spent more time outside, but it was colder than expected. It was very convenient having a garage to park our car in. Parking is VERY hard to find on this street.
We would love to rent this villa again.
Travel tips
- You can buy bus tickets for the local in-town bus at the tobacco store at the top of the hill. The tickets are cheaper than buying them on the bus. Taking the bus around town is so convenient. You just park your car in the garage, and take the bus around the town.
- For delicious fruit, walk to the top of the hill, then take a left and walk up a bit, and you'll find a wonderful fruit stand on the left side of the street.
- Bar Internazionale has great morning bakery items and really good latte macchiato. This is also at the top of the hill.

October 2011 - Villa Eunice was excellent overall and far surpassed our expectations.
The location is perfect, with ready access to SITA and city buses and a great bodega for all supplies. Bar Internazionale provides coffee and pastries in the AM, sandwiches and pizza at noon and drinks and snacks in the evening. The small restaurant adjacent has wonderful food and we ate there twice during our visit. All this is within 100 yards of the villa! There are also a minimum of six very fine restaurants with a fifteen minute walk of the villa.
The villa has a captivating view of the sea. We had lunch often at the outside table and drinks most evenings.
The kitchen is fully equipped and a very adequate size. The two bedrooms are very well furnished and both baths are modern and well equipped. The main living room is very comfortable and furnishings are very attractive.
Ms. Stefania [the caretaker] is a special treat and is always available for advice. She left us a mobile phone to contact her and for making local calls.
Summer In Italy was very helpful in our planning process and everything was as they had described, if not better! Special thanks to Luca for all his help.
We would highly recommend Villa Eunice.
Travel tips
- Villa Eunice affords lovely views and a quiet surrounding. Much better in our opinion than staying in the beach area.
- SITA buses are generally on time, but no the same for the city buses to and from the beach. Allow adequate time for restaurant reservations if you use the city buses.

August 2011 - Villa Eunice was everything in person that the pictures should it to be. It was extremely well maintained and very clean. The views were amazing.
Stefania [the caretaker] was very helpful in all areas and was always available by phone.
Slight amount of noise from the cars squealing as they slowed down to go around the corner but not anything that would keep me from renting this villa again.
We are very active and enjoyed the walk down to the beach. We even walked back up 3 times but 709 steps are quite a trek. Not for the faint hearted. The bus was available but sometime very crowded and a 20 minute wait if you just missed the last one.
Everyone at Summer In Italy was great to work with and made our stay in Italy a wonderful one. We would absolutely use you again for our next visit to Italy. Thank you.

We chose to book with Summer in Italy as you have an excellent variety of villas available. We found the correspondence and promptness of Summer in Italy to be excellent.

Our party of four had a great time at Villa Eunice. We enjoyed having breakfast every morning on the wonderful terrace taking in the great view. It was also a great spot to enjoy a lemoncello under the stars after a busy day exploring Positano.
The location was perfect with the shops and the bus stop at the top of the street.
Stefania [the caretaker] was great and very helpful.
Would love to come back again.
It was wonderful booking with Summer in Italy. We have recommended you to all our friends.
Travel tips
- There are 720 (we counted them) steps from the villa to the beach, but there is a local shuttle bus that brings you back up.
- Our favorite restaurant was Chez Black near the beach, there are plenty of good places to eat, go exploring.
- Bar Internazionale at the top of the street was perfect for pastries in the morning, and there is a nice grocery store next door.

October 2010 - Villa Eunice is in perhaps the most privileged position in all of Positano. The views it commands are simply spectacular!
The villa is nicely appointed and had very comfortable accommodations for 4 in two full bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Two more persons could be accommodated in a room that may originally have been the sitting room off the master bedroom.
The views from our bedroom live in my Blackberry so I can look at them every day!
The garage is a highly coveted feature, and allowed us to run up and down the Amalfi Coast during our stay.
Summer in Italy was perfect! They answered our questions promptly and were always there for us. You have an OUTSTANDING team!!
Travel tips
- There are lots of nearby shops for groceries and wine, and the trattoria next to the bus stop (one short block away) has great food. The prosciutto and olives were amazing.
- The bus stop for both Positano and other towns leave from a block away --couldn't be more convenient.

August 2010 - The villa is very clean and has great views of the sea. The caretaker Ms Stefania is very helpful and almost acts as a concierge for you.
My one warning is that you must be prepared for a 15 minute climb to get from the beach to the villa. No need for a gym workout during your stay at the villa as you will get tremendous aerobic exercise during your stay.
The villa was as advertised.
Travel tips
- The Bar Internazionale is a great place for cappuccino.
- Restaurant La Tagliata is the best restaurant I visited during my entire stay in Italy. White wine is great and they will give you a ride from the villa. Just ask Ms Stefania [the caretaker] and she can set it up for you.

Very safe and private. Very easy access (no steps) and a most helpful hostess.
Beautifully furnished, with all the facilities you need.
I highly recommend this villa and would certainly return. There's even a fresh vegetable garden for you to enjoy. It surpassed our wildest dreams.
You were great, thanks. Having used you once, I will be very comfortable in using you again.

July 2010 - Absolutely wonderful... we fell in love with Villa Eunice the moment we came through the door and onto the terrace. The views from every window and terrace were beautiful. The pictures do not do this place justice (and the pictures are good).
We found the villa very well equipped, the clothes washer was a huge plus.
The weather was spectacular, a little warm, but even so the air conditioning was never used. The house stays pretty cool.
The location was ideal for us, we do not mind all the stairs to get down to the beach and back up to burn off all those extra gelato calories. The villa is located on street level so getting suitcases etc... and walking in was a breeze.
The place is excellent -- and a real find as far as I am concerned.
Travel tips
- There is just about everything you could need within a very short stroll of this villa. Stores, restaurants, fresh fruit and veggies, a fish monger and a butcher. Bar Internazionale is at top of the hill with fresh baked goods and excellent coffee, gelato, pizza and more...
- SITA bus stop and local Positano bus (orange bus) access is excellent.

June 2010 - Villa Eunice is located in a beautiful spot in Positano and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.
The outdoor terrace is amazing - a wonderful spot to enjoy our wine and our meals.
We even enjoyed the daily 700 steps to the beach! There is a convenient little bus that runs around frequently but it became a challenge to never use it!
Villa Eunice was amazing... the kitchen was very well equipped and the manager Stefania was incredibly helpful and accommodating.
We were sad to leave this beautiful spot and would definitely return!
Travel tips
- Bring comfy shoes!
- The little shops just around the corner are perfect for picking up fresh fruit, milk and daily baked goods - great coffees from the bar, too!
- The little restaurant beside the bar does amazing takeout.
- Cafe Positano 1/2 way down the hill is a lovely dinner spot...
- Lots of great things to do... definitely hire a boat to go sightseeing... it's a great way to see the coastline.

Beautiful villa, amazing view, great position!!
Access to plenty of local produce just up the road with all the facilities at the villa needed to prepare your own banquet of local cuisine every night!
Perfect for groups of up to 6 (3 couples).
Our week at Villa Eunice was the highlight of our month in Italy!
Travel tips
- Plan to cook a few nights and enjoy the local produce in the vegetable garden at the villa and for sale just up the road from the villa.
- Nominate to have use of the AC over night as mosquitoes make leaving the windows/doors open difficult.
- Hire a scooter and take the drive up to Amalfi and onto Ravello.

May 2010 - Villa Eunice was by far a spectacular villa with all the amenities right at your fingertips. My family and I stayed there for one week which was definitely not enough.
The views were breathtaking every time we looked out a window or stood on the many terraces. The villa was immaculate and spotless when we arrived and was wonderful when we had the midweek cleaning. It was a perfect place to stay while touring many other places on the Amalfi Coast.
My daughter and I would go to the local fruit market each morning to buy fresh fruit to make a salad for breakfast and enjoy it on the terrace. While my husband would make fresh espresso each morning for us when we came back from the market. Pre-dinner drinks of local wine, cheese and crackers on the terrace were our evening rituals before our marvelous dinners.
We really adored Villa Eunice and would highly recommend staying there.
Keep doing exactly what you are doing. Summer in Italy was a wonderful experience every step of the way. Thank you.
Travel tips
- The car service Renato Cuomo took us to the villa from Rome which was wonderful and highly recommended. He stopped on the road with us to have an "espresso" before getting us to the villa.
- The restaurant La Tagliata in Montepertuso was awesome. It's a family run restaurant with no menu. They just keep bringing over food to your table from the moment you walk in til you leave. And the food is terrific.
- Restaurant La Cambusa which is right off the beach is another great restaurant to visit.
- Stefania who runs the villa is accessible all the time. She is wonderful when she greets you upon arriving and she is great helping to set up anything you need. And her restaurant in Praiano is delicious also.
- The shopping in Positano is grand and very hard to resist.
- Capri, Anacapri, Sorrento, Amalfi are all places that we recommend to visit.
- Just relax and enjoy everything about Villa Eunice and Positano.

May 2010 - As a group of 6 we were thoroughly impressed with our week at Villa Eunice.
The villa is clean, well equipped and spacious and the views over the town and mountains and sea are to die for. The location was perfect and local stores provided us with ample selection of good produce, meat, and grocery supplies.
We enjoyed our trips around town using the local bus as well as the white knuckle trips to Praiano, Amalfi and Sorrento using the blue SITA buses.
We could not have been more pleased with our stay at Villa Eunice and we will long remember it with fondness.
In addition to the Villa we had the pleasure of meeting and being carefully looked after by Stefania on behalf of the property owners. We had the good fortune of meeting Stefania's family and having dinner at the family restaurant in Praiano.
Summer in Italy was good to deal with and description of villa and the handling of all communications was excellent. Would recommend using Summer in Italy for any property they have listed as you can be assured it comes as they have it described.
Travel tips
- Read the information book which has been carefully prepared for you and follow the advice given.
- For sure try the food at the Restaurant Le Tre Sorelle at the beach in Positano.
- Take a day trip to Amalfi and to Pompeii, but don't do much travel that you miss spending time at the villa and preparing your special meals with the abundance of produce and meats/fish available locally.
- Try the cappuccino and sweet rolls at the Bar Internazionale at the corner early in the morning.

Travel tips
- Don't miss the Mediterranean restaurant "Ristorante Mediterraneo" on Via Pasitea 236 in Positano. The food was excellent and Rodrigo and his brother-in-law, Luciano, were so much fun we will return with a party of 18 next year.
- The restaurant in the Hotel Villa Franca was one of our favorite meals. This hotel is directly below the villa, the one with the swimming pool on top. Fabulous view and truly delicious food.
- Don't miss Capri and Ravello.
- In Ravello, I'd recommend having lunch at The Garden Restaurant (4 Via Boccaccio). Spectacular view, friendly waiters. When facing the cathedral, follow the tunnel on your right and you'll run right in to it at the end of the tunnel.
- There is a beautiful linen shop in Ravello, (La Bottega delle Arti at 7 Via Roma). Ask for Rosanna as she speaks English and is delightful.
- If you have a car, GO EXPLORING! We would see a little cove and head down toward it. We met wonderful people, found great little "family" restaurants and views you would never see from the road.
- Pompeii was on my "bucket list" but I had no idea how impressive and large is was until seeing it. I would recommend reading the book "Pompeii" by Robert Harris before going to Pompeii. It's a great book, historical fiction, well researched, easy read and really gives you an understanding of what you are actually seeing at Pompeii.
- Finally, Stefania [the caretaker] is a jewel. She helped us immeasurably so be sure to ask her anything as she knows the area like the back of her hand.

We had a rental car which was wonderful (regardless what you hear). Villa Eunice is a very special place and the garage was an extra special bonus as parking is difficult although there were plenty of parking garages that cost between 3 and 4 Euros/hour.

August 2009 - We were so pleased with our stay in Villa Eunice. It was beautiful, clean, nicely decorated and the terrace and views were stunning. We travelled Italy for 3 weeks and Villa Eunice was by far the best accommodations of our travels. The terrace is STUNNING. It is a good hike to the beach but otherwise the location is great. You are also very near to both bus stops (SITA and the local bus service around Positano).
Our hostess, Stefania was very friendly and helpful. She really made us feel welcome and looked after our needs.
I would highly recommend this villa.
I really enjoyed dealing with Summer In Italy. Very professional and friendly. Thanks!
Travel tips
- I definitely recommend the Cassiopea boat trip recommended by Stefania. We did the 3 hour trip along the coast to Amalfi and saw some incredible sights and swam in some beautiful grottoes and a fresh waterfall.
- The restaurant just up the street (next to Bar Internazionale) was very good and reasonably priced.
- Watch the little grocery store down the street. They tacked on 30% to our bill for no apparent reason.

May 2009 - Villa Eunice more than exceeded our expectations --- our stay was absolutely stupendous with all views from any window and the two large terraces to die for.
It was so convenient with the location so close to the SITA and Interno buses plus an Alimentari and the greengrocer.
I was so glad that there were no stairs for my elderly parents to navigate other than the flight up and down the house stairs -- though by the end of our week in the Amalfi Coast and navigating the "streets" in Positano, Ravello and Capri, they were not complaining anymore.
Also, no mosquitoes this time around, either; when we stayed in Praiano last time at the same time period, there were plenty of mosquitoes despite the electrical plugged in and the coil mosquito repellents.
It was very hard to leave the beautiful house and a lot of Arriverdercis were repeatedly uttered as we had our last breakfast in the wonderful terrace. We would not hesitate to rent Villa Eunice when we have the opportunity in the future.
Summer in Italy had the most comprehensive, and informative webpage I have perused through in the Internet when making my decision to stay in the Amalfi Coast. I am very glad of my choice.
Travel tips
- Our party of 5 highly recommend Renato Cuomo's Limo service to get us to and from Rome. On the way to Positano, he stopped to have us eat a leisurely lunch at Ristorante Mustafa -- in one of the communities north of Sorrento
- it was very local, good food, just people coming off fishing boats and little private boats. He also took us on a day trip to Paestum/Sorrento (for a minuscule amount of E350 for 5 people for practically 7 hours of a day trip). He also arranged with Barbara (of Barbara Positano boat tour) for a wonderful day cruising the Amalfi Coast -- we felt like VIPs with the beatiful boat and lots of people were taking pictures from the Amalfi Drive as we were cruising by.
- The Stracciatelli with frutti di mare at Buca di Bacco is one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had.
- The lemon tart at La Zagara is great!
- Bar Internazionale is the main focal point if you need to let taxis and shuttle pick ups know for La Tagliata/Il Ritrovo. Must do one of those restaurants up Nocelle or Montepertuso if not just to experience the ride the "Formula One" bus drivers give you coming and going up the "alley" sized streets to those villages.
- The bar across from Piazza Mulini bus stop was very convenient for buying our gelati, and the SITA bus tickets.
- There is a taxi stand right at Piazza Mulini next to the bus stop when my parents were tired and did not want to wait/nor battle the people waiting for the Positano Interno buses.
- We asked if there could be some groceries available in the house as we were arriving on a Saturday and did not know the locations of Alimentari or opening times (we itemized what we needed -- eggs, butter, frying oil, laundry detergent, water, fruit juices, etc) and they were there, no hassle. Just ask them to have toilet paper and paper towels, too. One roll per bathroom is provided, but with a party of 5 and much wine, you know the rest.

May 2009 - Words cannot describe how wonderful our experience was at Vila Eunice. Being in Positano for our wedding, being at Villa Eunice turned out to be the perfect location with services and resources within a 5 to 10 minute walk from the villa.
The view from the terrace was breathtakingly beautiful, perfect location for a meal with your family and friends.
All in all we loved the villa and hope to return next year.
A big thank you to Stefania for everything, you were wonderful!
Thank you for everything.
Travel tips
- Enjoy the villa, take time to get up early in the morning and enjoy a cup a coffee on the terrace and watch the town come to life.
- Take the Sita bus and avoid driving, the bus will take you wherever you want to go or better yet, walk.
- If you are to be picked up or dropped off, tell the taxi to do so at Bar Internazionale up the street, this will make your life much easier.
- All in all enjoy this wonderful villa!

October 2008 - We enjoyed Villa Eunice very much . I got a thumbs up and a big smile from my wife and friends when we walked into the place and walked on the terrace. The place was spectacular. The view was breathtaking. Our weather was perfect so we spent most of the time on the terrace.
The interior was tastefully decorated and the kitchen was well stocked. There wasn't anything that we could think of to improve the house.
The house was within a block of the bus stop that would take you around Positano and to the neighboring towns.
Stephanie, our host, was extremely helpful and very friendly.
Travel tips
- The house has a garage which is a huge plus if this is used as a base to see surrounding areas.
- The bus system, once understood, is very good.
- Pompeii is a must see if history is your thing, Capri was OK, the blue grotto was beautiful, but expensive for a 2 minute experience.
- Our favorite 2 restaurants in Positano were Il Saraceno D'Oro and Il Fornillo. They are located two streets below the house.

September 2008 - We had a great vacation at Villa Eunice. This IS a fantastic property. Being able to wheel your bags in the front door is a bonus.
The pictures are good of the property, but you can not tell how spectacular the view really is.
The house will sleep 6 comfortably, only the downstairs bath does not have a shower. I used the outdoor shower that is on the main deck! That was great!
The presence of a street level garage with the property is a real bonus.
The house is the highest one visible in any picture looking north towards Sorrento. We will be back!!!
We found you on the web and liked your presentation and just looked until we found what we thought we wanted. This villa IS PERFECTO!! We hope to come back again, it was like a dream.
Travel tips
- To use the garage, it is easier if you BACK IN. The short drive is on a gentle slope and you can just coast in. That is easier than trying to back out of the garage.
- Use the internal bus to come back up to the villa from the beach and shopping. Walk down, ride back.
- Bar Internazionale just up the street will be your major jumping off point for bus tickets, gelato and spirits. The proprietor speaks good English.

July 2008 - Our family truly enjoyed our time at Villa Eunice.
We loved the location - far above the maddening crowd - and took advantage of being among the local population by frequenting nearby restaurants and markets.
Close proximity to public transportation was also a plus.
The house was beautiful and very well maintained. We took full advantage of the wonderful terrace - morning coffee, afternoon wine & cheese and evening limoncello all tasted better while taking in the splendid view.
Your service was A+...I found your company through a web search and was just a bit apprehensive about what Villa Eunice would be like since I booked based only on what was posted on your site. We were not disappointed... my husband is very hard to please and he was impressed with Villa Eunice. Thank you!

May 2008 - Absolutely SPECTACULAR.
Perfect location, clean, immaculately cared for, and totally comfortable.
Our first villa rental was perfect from start to finish. We didn't want to leave!!
Please don't stop renting the villa - it's our dream to return again in a year or two and to stay for two weeks instead of just one. One week is not enough!
Stefania [the caretaker] is the perfect hostess on your behalf. Friendly, helpful, funny, and thoroughly charming. Keep her!!
We are spreading the word about Summer in Italy to all our friends. The entire experience was impressive from the first time I "found" your web-site, through the booking process, prompt and friendly answers to our e-mail questions, to the check-in process, etc. Everything was clear and accurate. A totally positive experience and we will use Summer in Italy again without hesitation. WELL DONE, and THANK YOU for making our vacation one of the best we have EVER had.
Travel tips
- Bring beach towels.
- Positano is the prettiest of all the coastal towns and perfectly situated to tour the area by boat, bus, or train. No real need for a car.
- Taxis run a bit expensive since it is a resort area.

October 2007 - Villa Eunice was incredibly beautiful, we found it very comfortable and well appointed.
The location was perfect and the view stupendous!
The garden was lovely with lots of well tended flowers and the herbs and vegetable gardens were a lovely surprise.
We were very happy with our stay there, and Stefania [the caretaker] was very helpful and truly concerned with our comfort.
I have always been happy with your service! Thanks!
Travel tips
- Our favorite restaurants are Saraceno D'Oro and Da Vincenzo.
- This villa is also well suited for taking the Sita bus to Sorrento or Amalfi, and Ravello is a beautiful day trip. Beyond that, just waking up in Positano every morning and looking at the view is enough for me!

September 2007 - We have a tremendous time staying at Villa Eunice. It is very warm and welcoming and it truly feels like a home, rather than a rental.
The location is perfect as it is situation at the top of one end of Positano. The view from the terrace and every window of Villa Eunice was gorgeous. We really enjoyed having lunch and playing board game at the terrace.
The kitchen is well equipped and functional. All the basic utensils and more are available. The main sitting room/dining room is comfortable and welcoming. We didn't have the chance to use the other sitting room at all. The bedrooms are generous in size and tastefully furnished. The bathrooms are functional as well. The master bedroom could be a little noisy as the window faces the street and the house is located along the only one way street that goes down to town.
There are just 4 of us on this trip but the villa can easily and comfortably sleep 8 people since there are so many different rooms with pull out sofa beds and 2.5 bathrooms.
If we ever decide to return to Positano, we would definitely stay at Villa Eunice again
Thanks for making the arrangement for us. The entire experience from the beginning has been stress free. We will definitely use your service again and would recommend your services to others.
Travel tips
- The local circular bus stop is only 1 block away.
- There's a local cafe/bar, alimentari, veggie stand in the same corner.
- There's a family run trattoria right next to the cafe. It seems to be mostly frequented by locals. The food was simple and delicious. The wine selection was very good and extremely reasonable. Had a bottle of "tre bicchieri" for EUR 20.
- We also enjoyed the hip new wine-bar Next2 adjacent to the restaurant Mediterraneo.
- We had a car service that picked us up from Rome and took us directly to the villa, and for the return trip. Yes, it was expense, EUR 400 each way but it was the best decision we made. It took away the headache of public transportation and driving in the Amalfi coast is definitely not a piece of cake.

July 2007 - We loved Villa Eunice and we had plenty of room for the 5 of us. It actually can sleep 8.
The views were gorgeous and the villa was spotless.
The manager, Stefania, was a big help also.
We had a great experience, will rent from you again and have referred many people to you!
Travel tips
- Our best day was renting the boat from Barbara of Positano and exploring the coast with her as a guide.
- We also loved La Tagliata restaurant in Montepertuso and Villa Franca Hotel restaurant just down the hill from the villa.
- We always walked down the hill to town or beach and rode the bus back up and found the bus to be very convenient. Villa Eunice is definitely at the very top of the hill so walking back up is really not an option and it took us 15 minutes to walk down.
- Be sure to walk down to Fornillo Beach and eat at Pupetto restaurant. We also loved the Open Gate Restaurant in Praiano which is owned by Stefania who manages the villa. That was one a great meal with a great view. Take the bus to Iron Gate.

June 2007 - The Villa was fantastic.
I couldn't imagine a better place for our family vacation.
Keep up the good work. The pictures you posted of the villa were very accurate. They really were representative of its beauty.
Travel tips
- Just be aware of the amount of walking in Positano. A few weeks on the StairMaster before going to Positano would be very helpful.
