We have very mixed reviews of this villa. I stayed with a group of friends at this villa for a total of 4 nights. The owner, PierLuigi, was kind enough to set up transport from Naples to Positano which was very convenient. Upon arrival to the villa, it was very clear that the address listed on the booking was incorrect. This was brought up to the property manager, Davide, who met us at the villa. He said he would bring it up to PierLuigi, but we never heard anything back. The villa is located at the very start of positano, but the listing address was set to only steps from the main beach of positano which is over a 30 minute walk from the villa down/up hundreds of steps. Positano is known for its location on the slope of a mountain - with that comes stairs…however, we paid to be at the location listed on the listing. We reached out to PierLuigi ourselves and never heard anything back. We also contacted VRBO and are waiting for a reply from the owner.
While this address discrepancy was a HUGE disappointment, the villa is located in one of the most beautiful locations in the world - so of course the views were great. Davide was also very helpful with restaurant recommendations.
The layout of the villa is a bit disjointed. There are four levels - 1) bedroom with a main kitchen and living room, 2) a bedroom 3) third bedroom 4) a pool. You do have to go outside and down several sets stairs to get between levels. That being said, I would not recommend this villa for groups of friends looking to all hangout together. However, it would be nice for 3 couples who would like more private spaces.
The third bedroom was very damp and smelled of mold. We pulled out some of the blankets under the bed and mold was scattered throughout. There was also small drops of blood on most of the sets of sheets/duvets on the beds throughout the villa.
Overall, we were disappointed that the listing was not what was represented to us through the listing and the lack of communication from the host/owner when we expressed our concerns with the location and the cleanliness (particularly of the third bedroom). We will continue to follow up on this with VRBO.
