Reviews of Villa Isotta

Fabulous stay at Positano villa

September 2023 - This villa was exactly what we were looking for. Great location, outside of the Positano town. Water taxi available to take you into town, or if you prefer you can walk along the narrow, windy, busy roads into town center.

Loved the accessibility to the sea. Keep in mind though there are a lot of steps down to the sea, also a short elevator ride.

Gorgeous views. Large terraces and plenty of seating on terraces.

Absolutely stunning terraces and the view is unsurpassed

September 2023 - Absolutely stunning terraces and the view is unsurpassed. Took our breath away when we walked out on the terraces. Very quiet and relaxing on the outdoor terraces.

The villa is located outside of Positano, but we had no trouble getting to and from town.

The villa was beautifully kept and we were met by Paola [the property manager] and a valet to carry our luggage and show us where the villa was located. Paola was available 24/7 for any questions or problems.

Very pleased with Luca and the staff at Summer In Italy. The booking was very easy and they were extremely responsive to any email questions I had. Would not hesitate to use them again.

Fabulous villa, breathtaking views of the sea and coast from multiple terraces

September 2022 - Fabulous villa, breathtaking views of the sea and coast from multiple terraces. Wonderful quiet location. Daily housekeeping services of the entire home, pool and terrace. Sleeps eight adult guests very comfortably. Funicular (elevator) to street and beach which cuts out thousands of steps per day. Perfectly adequate kitchen for breakfast and snacks. Spent almost all time outdoors on terraces.

I read many reviews regarding companies booking villas. Summer In Italy received consistently high reviews so I decided to book with them. I was not disappointed. Excellent communication and follow through by Luca and staff. Great tips and newsletter. Transparent regarding costs and policies. Very highly recommend. Would not hesitate to use them again.

Perfect in every way

July 2022 - Villa Isotta was perfect in every way.

The views, the food, and the people of Positano were the most friendly and of course the staff and in particular Paola, who helped us in so many ways and she truly made our family vacation a joy. Grazie.

Just an amazing spot

October 2019 - Villa Isotta was fantastic. The bedrooms were very comfortable and every room had an amazing view. We did not even use the living room as we spent every minute on the main terrace. People have said it before but I will echo it again, the pictures on the web site do not do justice to the views you will have. Best views of Positano, Praiano and the coast!! Just an amazing spot.

Mr. Giovanni [the caretaker] was very helpful as was the local staff. The villa was cleaned daily and done very professionally.

This is the second time I've used Summer In Italy and will only go thru them again when I return to Italy. The company is fantastic to work with and everything was perfect. Highly recommend Summer In Italy.

Better than it appears in the photos!

September 2019 - Villa Isotta is incredible and I cannot wait to return. Absolutely beautiful villa which is much larger and even better than it appears in the photos!

During our stay, we explored Positano and visited all of the major hotels and tourist attractions, and Villa Isotta has the best views by far! We almost never used the indoor living room because we spent most of our time on the huge, incredible outdoor terrace taking in the breathtaking scenery. I went with a group of 8 adults and the villa fit us comfortably.

The villa location is very convenient -- just minutes from Positano and the funicular provides seamless access to the beach bar/restaurant, which has lounge chairs for the guests of Villa Isotta. The local manager was extremely helpful in arranging taxis, dinner reservations and even arranging for a private boat tour which picked us up right from our villa, at the bottom of the funicular!

I booked this villa through Summer in Italy because of their great reviews, and I would definitely use them again. They were extremely professional, friendly and helpful -- before, during and after our stay!

Better than the pictures!

June 2019 - It was wonderful. Giovanni [the caretaker] was so helpful.

The website pictures do not do it justice. We would definitely stay here again!

The view was amazing

October 2018 - The view was amazing and the location was perfect for getting around the area on foot or via local transportation. Would highly recommend Villa Isotta.

Giovanni [the caretaker] was always available and checked in to see if there were any problems. The local staff were very helpful in fielding questions about transportation and directions as well. Anna did a wonderful job in keeping the villa clean and tidy on a daily basis.

Well done, found Summer In Italy online and would definitely use their services again.

Travel tips

Stunning view

July 2018 - Stunning view. Especially appreciated the fact that all four bedrooms had terraces and views of the Mediterranean. The location was fantastic, just at the top of the street filled with shopping so we could walk or drive to the water front (decent walk though) and we had easy access to driving to other towns. Overall one of the best trips I have ever taken.

Summer In Italy, that we worked with prior to our arrival (via email), were unbelievable helpful. If we had any question, they responded in absolutely no time!!

Beautiful villa and location

June 2018 - Beautiful villa and location. We had a fabulous trip and enjoyed Villa Isotta and would highly recommend for a very memorable family vacation.

The staff at Summer in Italy was very responsive.

Beautiful villa!

June 2018 - Beautiful villa very spacious and peaceful.

Excellent

July 2017 - What a remarkable villa, perfect location and views (far enough from town to avoid the bustle and hustle, but close enough to get there easily), and walking distance from all the key provisioning shops (butcher, grocer, greengrocer).

We thought of Villa Isotta as our Amalfi Coast "Headquarter" and we found ourselves gravitating back there all the time.

Very prompt and personalized service from Summer In Italy. Well done.

May 2017 - Villa Isotta is so beautiful that you almost don't want to leave it to go into town.

The rooms were very comfortable and roomy. The pool and cleaning staff were reliable and friendly. The location was wonderful and offered undoubtedly the best views of Positano. The availability to the beach made it perfect. Perfetto!

Thank you Summer In Italy for your quick responses to all our questions and your wonderful service.

October 2016 - Villa Isotta was surprisingly better than we had expected.

The view is amazing, the rooms are very comfortable and the bathrooms were nice. The villa was cleaned daily. Other than the Wi-Fi connection being weak, Villa Isotta was outstanding in all areas.

The management and staff were extremely attentive to all of our needs.

If we ever return to Positano, Villa Isotta will be our first choice for accommodations.

Excellent

October 2016 - Villa Isotta was a beautiful villa with incredible views from every terrace.

It was very comfortable and there was plenty of privacy for 4 couples. We spent most of our time outdoors, so we never used the living room. The villa was spotless, cleaned daily by very friendly and kind people (most of the villas we have stayed in were only cleaned once midweek).

Mr. Giovanni, the property manager, was very helpful. He even called restaurants and made dinner reservations for us!

Summer In Italy is an awesome agency. They respond to any question or request within 24 hours. Everyone I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. I look forward to renting another villa from them.

The setting is fantastic, the decks are incredible... It was enjoyable sitting on the deck with a glass of wine overlooking Positano and the Med.

The staff were tremendous and extremely helpful.

I'm not 100% sure why I decided to book with Summer In Italy, but I am very glad I did. You were very helpful and informative. When we will return to Italy you will be my first stop checking for accommodations.

May 2016 - I couldn't have picked a better villa.

Villa Isotta was situated perfectly and had more privacy than others. The terraces were all amazing and we spent most of our time outside. The view was amazing and the elevator to the beach was great.

The location was great, within 10 minutes easy walking distance to the market where we got all our food. Along the way there's a fish market with fresh fish every day and a butcher with fresh meats!!!

Villa Isotta is the best villa in regards to location and views.

The staff was very warm and friendly.

Summer In Italy did a great job. Everything was perfect. I look forward to working with you again.

July 2015 - Villa Isotta was excellent. The view was unbelievable, the walk to town was a little further than expected I think. We didn't mind in the end, but some people might be disappointed.

The place was clean, well equipped, and perfect for the number of people we had. No complaints!

You guys were great!

September 2014 - There were seven of us at Villa Isotta and it provided plenty of outdoor space so that we could all enjoy our quiet time - not that we had much as there was so much to do and see in Positano.

Our first impression was that the villa was a little too far out of town, but we soon found that we could go down to the beachside cafe and order a water taxi, however at night it was necessary to catch a taxi as the lift to and from our villa stopped at 6.00 pm and it was a long hike up the steps. The taxi service was very good.

All in all we really enjoyed staying at Villa Isotta and would recommend it to anyone as part of a small group. We didn't see any of the other smaller villas, but I am sure they were great too.

Summer in Italy were extremely helpful in our decision to stay at Villa Isotta and tried very hard on our behalf to secure our stay from the Monday to Saturday rather than the usual stay of Saturday to Saturday. I couldn't recommend Summer in Italy highly enough and hope to use you again when next we visit Italy.

June 2014 - We enjoyed the villa immensely. The views were breathtaking and just what we wanted/anticipated from looking at the website. The property, both inside and out (including the pool), was spotless and well maintained, and the management staff was very helpful and responsive.

There was plenty of outdoor furniture and seating options, and the awnings were very much appreciated and used!

Very much appreciated the quick response from your staff for all our questions prior to our visit. Your website is very user friendly and helpful as well.

October 2013 - We had a marvelous time staying at Villa Isotta. Great views, great location and great service with daily maid service, etc.

We had two extremely windy days that prevented us from using the decks, as cushions, chairs, etc were blown all over the place. It was a bit too cold to use the pool, but none of this dampened our enjoyment of the villa and town of Positano. Wonderful people, food and scenery.

Summer-in-Italy has been extremely professional, kind and helpful. We will definitely rent from you again, when we return to visit the northern areas of your beautiful country. Thanks.

September 2013 - This villa is absolutely beautiful. The outdoor area is spectacular. There are multiple seating areas for sun or shade. As with all properties in Positano be prepared to walk a lot of steps to town. We walked to town everyday and took the bus up every night.

I would recommend this villa to all my friends and have already done so.

We would go back to this villa again. The pictures are exactly what the villa looks like. No surprises.

June 2013 - We and six friends had a wonderful week at Villa Isotta, the position is superb, what a view. There is plenty of room to spread out and find a quiet spot.

It was cleaned every day inside and out, all the locals were very friendly.

The local grocery shop even delivered all our supplies, we will return.

I think this is our 4th or 5th trip organised by Luca and the gang, as usual everything went smoothly. Thank you, we will be back as we love the area.

June 2012 - Villa Isotta was a life experience.

The location and views from the villa were breathtaking and this was the case every day. Too good for time to dull down what was something truly stunning.

The villa itself was of very high quality and everyone enjoyed the spacious air conditioned bedrooms. What a place to wake up.

I hope that this review does not drive the price up as we plan to go back! But you have asked for feedback and you deserve some credit for this level of quality. Bravo, che bella.

September 2010 - Villa Isotta was incredible in every way. The view was breathtaking, the location excellent.

All of us staying at the villa commented on how the accommodations were much more than we had expected. All four couples being very well traveled, our only regret was that with so much to see and do we didn't take advantage of the villa as much as we would have liked.

Positano was a surreal experience and we will be back.

Your company was very easy to work with. Thank you for being so professional and timely in your correspondence.

July 2010 - The setting and the Villa were perfect for our large group. Each bedroom was special with its own balcony so no one felt they did not get a great room with a great view.

We spent most of our time on the balcony. Absolutely incredible view of the town of Positano, the surrounding mountains and the sea.

The manager was very helpful with questions about the area.

The food at the cafe by the beach was wonderful. Fresh fish and pasta, very relaxed environment, staff very helpful and kind and a view of the sea.

All the information was very helpful! We were well prepared and the Villa and location exceeded our expectation. Travel directions were very helpful.

Everything was excellent including the local staff who provide a tremendous amount of support and knowledge of the Amalfi Coast.

We would not have a changed anything about the Villa or the wonderful people at Summer in Italy.

I booked with Summer In Italy after viewing at least 20 other similar sites. The website was very user friendly, the photos and property description wonderful and the service was extraordinary. Thank you and I have already recommended both Summer in Italy and Villa Isotta to at least 20 people.
