Villa Dolphin was beyond expectations! Absolutely beautiful, we had an incredible stay. Right in the middle of town. Mateo was an amazing host, he met us when we checked in and out to ensure all was good. Highly recommend!
Super enjoyable and relaxing place for our family of 6. Matteo, the owner, was such a great touch vs using property managers. Close to restaurants and shopping but also plenty room to cook and eat on the beautiful terrace.
The views from this Villa are amazing!! It is located right on the main street and as you are walking down towards the central part of town/main beach area, you pass many wonderful restaurants and shops, etc... so it is in a good location. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. I highly recommend.
Most amazing views from every room. Very spacious and comfortable space. Great location. Everything was perfect and Matteo was so sweet and very responsive. We hope to be back soon.
Lovely location perfectly maintained. Wonderful host and family. Could not have hoped for a better location. Just down the steps were 5 or 6 high quality restaurants.
Loved everything about the Villa enough room for all 5 of us
Everything was perfect
Matteo was the perfect host arranging transportation and restaurants
His communication with us was fantastic
Villa Dolphin was a great find
It was beautiful the view was amazing. The owner was is very attentive always available for questions or suggestions for great restaurants in the area
It was a great vacation. Loved it!
Outstanding property in Positano. Very nice home in a great location. The home is very well equipped and has a parking garage below the home for your car. The owner is excellent to work with and very attentive. Enjoyed the stay very much.
Our stay was outstanding in every way. Matteo is the most responsive and accommodating VRBO host I’ve ever encountered. The house was fabulous - in great condition, great location and very clean. Best VRBO experience I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!
Everything about our stay in Positano was perfect! Matteo even brought us a wonderful dessert for my daughter’s birthday! The villa is better than the photographs! Highest recommendation!
Matteo was a wonderful host. He was very helpful and responsive during the booking and planning process, check in and out was very easy and during our stay he kept checking in to see if everything was ok.
The villa was beautiful, in a perfect location with great restaurants on both sides of the villa. Views were outstanding and was perfect for our family of five. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Positano!
Amazing house, perfect location, everything and more!
We had the best stay at Matteo’s house! He was an amazing host and was always available for whatever we needed. The house is so charming, and you cannot beat the views from the balcony.
It’s in an amazing location, close enough to walk into Positano main area but so quiet and peaceful not being in the main square. There are a ton of great local restaurants in the area, we preferred these over going into Positano proper. 10/10 stay and will definitely go back!
The communication with Matteo was exceptional from the time of booking til after we checked out. Our family (of 3 generations) loved staying in this beautiful home-in the perfect Positano location. Matteo’s recommendations for restaurants, cooking classes & day trips made our stay perfect in every way. We could not have asked for a better host.
My wife and another couple had an amazing stay at Villa Dolphin. The home and patio is gorgeous, clean, and lots of space. The home is also located on the quieter side of Positano which is nice to be out of the touristy area but also easily accessible when you want to drop in. Matteo, our host was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the entire trip. Highly recommend and Connor wait to come back!
This apartment is absolutely beautiful. It has the most incredible balcony with amazing views of Positano. It is so spacious, beautifully decorated and perfect for our family of 7.
It is located next to many cafes and shops but not in the busy Positano Centre which suited us all better. Also not too many stairs to climb by Positano standards.
Matteo was a wonderful host. We highly recommend his home.
The villa was beautiful. Amazing views, great location, well maintained and very clean. The villa was well stocked with everything you need for a great stay. Matteo is a wonderful host and very friendly and quick to respond with any questions. He made you feel very at home. He even made dinner reservations for us one night. Five star review!
The only thing more magical and wonderful than the property and location is the owner, Matteo! From arranging dinner reservations and suggesting points of interest to visit and paths less traveled, to getting us the best driver when needed, Matteo is in a class of his own. Grazie Matteo, sei fortissimo!
We had such a wonderful time at Matteo’s Villa. 6 adults stayed comfortably with all the luxury we needed. Beautiful big kitchen lounging areas, large bedrooms with air conditioning, fabulous patio with the most outstanding views. Our Host Matteo was most accommodating friendly and charming. He arranged car and restaurant reservations for us and was at our beckon call if we needed anything. We would highly recommend this villa. Was in a great location close to the town and relatively short walk to the beach. Thank you Matteo!

Heaven on Earth
If you want to find paradise in Positano, then you must stay at Villa Dolphin. We were a party of 6 women, and we found everything we desired at our temporary home. Matteo was the most gracious host and was always available for any questions we may have had. Matteo helped us secure reservations for restaurants, drivers and tours. We all agreed that we found heaven on earth. Do not hesitate to stay here!!
Grazie, Matteo

Thank you for your wonderful words!!
Hugs to all the ladies, come back soon!!
Matteo
Our family enjoyed 10 wonderful days in this perfectly located villa owned by Matteo, who was amazingly accommodating with us and very accessible during our whole stay. The villa affords you a panoramic view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, complete with sights and sounds of everyday life. We planned to experience this area as though we actually lived there, with local shopping,our own pasta making and cooking as well as frequenting some of the neighborhood restaurants. You would be well advised to have some Italian under your belt so that you can interact with the locals, which only adds to the already amazing geography of Positano. Bella Positano! Grazie mille Matteo!
