About this property

Positano: Casa Leucosia... in a wonderful ancient villa,in the heart of Positano

Villa Parthenope, a 17th-century villa, has been recently renovated with care and tastefully decorated. It perches in a peaceful and quiet spot, yet is centrally located in Positano. Hospitality is offered in a pleasant apartment, Casa Leucosia, on the ground floor down about 30 steps from the road.
The apartment is independent and allows privacy. One of the great advantages of the villa is that a car is not required. The apartment is located a 5-minute walk uphill from the celebrated chic boutiques, restaurants and bars of Positano. Fifteen minutes walk downhill takes the visitor to the main beach.
Casa Leucosia (sleeps 4) has an entrance leading into the large living/dining room, which is furnished in a charming style with white-washed walls, terra cotta tiled floors, wooden table and chairs, comfortable sofa, air conditioning, WiFi, TV LCD and 2 French windows opening onto the balcony, which runs the length of the apartment and faces a truly picture-perfect view of the sea and Positano. The kitchen is cheerful, compact and efficient, with refrigerator, stove with 3 gas burners, oven and microwave oven. There is a separate powder room with washing machine. The upper level (10 steps) has 2 double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, each with en suite bathroom (both with shower).
Another great advantage of Casa Leucosia: private stairs which, through the garden, lead directly to the beach in less than 5 minutes.

Perfect location to enjoy all of Positano

We had a wonderful week-long stay in July. The villa is clean and well equipped. Location couldn't be better, as you are right on the main road to walk to restaurants, and have a private stairway down to the main beach.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
This apartment is in a prime location with a beautiful view. Walking distance to main tourist locations. Lay out: you enter directly into the living area; the kitchen and laundry area are in the back, past the living room. From the entrance door, to the right are the stairs to take you to the two bedrooms. The first bedroom has two single beds with a full bathroom. Followed by the second bedroom with a queen bed and its bathroom, all the way back of this second floor, outside the second bedroom. Unfortunately, I have to point out some issues we faced with this booking. If you are going to Positano in the summer and AC is a big deal for you, this apartment has only one wall-mounted AC unit in the living area. A fan is provided for each bedroom, but you will have to leave the doors open to get AC into the rooms. On the third day, a leak at the base with a urine odor from one of the toilets was noted. Contacted the lady in charge of the house (Maria Dolores); there was no response. So I had to contact the host, who later informed me that there was indeed a leak and that the plumber was coming after our departure. This issue should have been taken care of before anyone's arrival. Communication: I do understand that language can be a barrier sometimes, but since you are listing on an international rental app, I strongly recommend that you learn about online communication etiquette (netiquette). Be respectful and dont use ALL CAPS when communicating with your clients.

Post-graduation girls’ trip!

10/10 would recommend this VRBO to anyone visiting Positano! The location was perfect- it was steps away from city center which made it easy for us to take daily trips to the grocery store and shops. Communication with the hosts was excellent! We appreciated the ease of setting up transportation to and from the VRBO. We had an amazing time and we feel so lucky we got to stay at this property. It was truly the best decision! We wanted for nothing except more time spent there!

Gorgeous villa in beautiful Positano!

During our stay in Positano, Italy, we experienced a wonderful time at a beautiful villa located in the heart of the town. The host and property manager were amazing, providing exceptional service and assistance with our needs and any special circumstances that arose. I highly recommend booking this villa for a group of 4 people or a small family. Ciao!

He even gave us a ride to the train station at the end of our visit. We see him as a future lifetime friend. Maria was also very helpful and kind. Positano is a dream and so is this place.

Maria, the manager, is a living angel. I had a severe GI episode and called Maria simply to see if she had a preference for a hospital. She said she would call me back. She called around, found a Dr. that would see me after hours and then drove me there. I now call her, “Maria Angelica”! The unit is in the best neighborhood, everything is close and it is very clean.

Lovely villa in Positano

The property was beautiful, with a large deck that was private but overlooking the town. I can't say enough about how beautiful it was. So much more space than a hotel. Check in was easy, Maria Delores was so sweet and knowledgeable about the area. We cooked some of our meals in the kitchen and it had everything we needed. Communication with the owner was also very easy, and we had no issues. Highly recommend!

The villa was exactly as described. Clean, great help from the manager and beautiful views. It's low enough for a reasonable walk to the port/beach but high enough for easy access to the central town. Positano is a beautiful city with friendly people. You do need some energy as the traveling around requires climbing many stairs or winding up switchback roads. Highly recommended.

The apartment is a fantastic option in Positano. The location and views are incredible. It is close enough to the port to be convenient yet just far enough to get away from some of the crowds. We also found that we did not have to climb nearly as many stairs as we expected. There is shopping and small food stores very close. It was very easy to grab some small bites and wine and enjoy the views from the balcony!There were just two of us staying so the place had plenty of room. We used the second bedroom for all our stuff leaving our bedroom clear. Two couples could share though. One room has an attached bath while the other room has a bath just outside. Know that there is a window in one shower which was a little different. We figured out that there wasn’t any views where you would be able see in, but maybe not shower at night. Also keep in mind this is Europe, the showers are small compared to what you find in America. Embrace it. There is a bathroom with a washer. The kitchen is small but functional. We did not cook at all but we could have fixed whatever we wanted. The refrigerator was all we needed. Air conditioner worked well. Shutters on the balcony doors also keep the place cool when you are out. Shout out to Maria and Rosella. They made check in/out easy and were available via WhatsApp. Rosella gave us all kinds of local recommendations and helped arrange reservations and a car service. Thank you ladies!Book this place. You will not regret it. Ciao!

Amazing View!

This is a perfect place to stay if you are looking for a great location and a beautiful view. Every morning we would make our coffee and sit on the deck to watch the sea. So relaxing! A small grocery store is nearby to get your food items and great restaurants nearby. Lemon and apricot trees in the backyard. Pietro, Marco and Maria were gracious hosts and very responsive. Casa Leaucosia had everything we needed but I might bring a fan next time as it can get quite warm in late afternoon.

Fantastic Stay in Positano

My wife and I and our two teenage children just returned from a wonderful stay at this home in Positano. The apartment was divided between a living area, small kitchen, and half bath downstairs, and two nice sized bedrooms and full baths up. It was not luxurious, but comfortable and well suited for our family. There was a lovely terrace with chairs and a table overlooking the town and out to sea. The WiFi service was seamless and the location next to Le Sireneuse Hotel could not be beat. A private path with a five minute walk led down to the beach and restaurants. There were banks and small shops within about a five minute walk down the upper street. Communication with the hosts was excellent, and the local representative Maria kindly organized several car trips for us. We look forward to a return visit!

Great Location!!

The property was spotless and comfortable. Our only complaint is that the apartment is listed as 2 bath but only one shower was usable. The shower attached to the twin bedroom flooded the entire bathroom. The property manager said she was aware that it had some problems. We wouldn’t have booked this apartment if we had known about the shower issue .

Lovely & clean apartment with an iconic view of Positano!

Positive experience in Casa Leucosia in the heart of Positano. Aparment is clean, quiet & cozy. Nice and bright sitting room and a terrace with an iconic view of Positano (same view as you would get if you stay in famous Le Sirenuse hotel for €1000 a night) . Beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed good sleep quality. As there were no windows in the bed rooms, it was difficult to wake up early in the morning :) Host Pierpaolo and apartment maid Ana Maria were very pleasant and welcoming. To get to the property I would recommend taking a boat from Naples port. We arrived by bus and except for the beautiful views it was a very long and tiring journey with all the twists and turns, narrow roads and traffic. However we had a lovely and smooth journey back to Naples at the end of our stay. We took boat Positano - Sorrento - Napoli port and then taxi to the airport and it was very pleasant. We were planing to rent a car in Positano but it was not necessary as the traffic on the island was horrendous, worse than in London at times and from what I have seen it is a waste of the precious time sitting in traffic. We went by road to Amalfi which is nearby and we were disappointed how long it took so we took a boat back after the visit. We were very happy with the boat services and visited Capri and Sorrento and Napoli. Hope to visit an island of Ischia and Ravello on our next trip to Positano. Very expensive everywhere on the Amalfi Coast but it was worth it and I highly recommend to experience it for yourselves.

Our stay at this apartment in Positano was absolutely incredible! The location could not have been better—right in the heart of town and within walking distance of everything. One of the highlights was the private walkway leading directly to the main beach, which made exploring Positano so convenient and enjoyable.The property itself was beautiful, especially the charming garden filled with lemon trees. Being able to pick fresh lemons straight from the trees was such a special touch and made the experience feel authentically Italian.There were grocery stores, cafés, and excellent restaurants just steps away, making it easy to enjoy everything Positano has to offer without needing transportation.From the stunning surroundings to the unbeatable location and thoughtful amenities, every part of our stay exceeded expectations. It was truly an amazing experience, and we would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Positano. We can’t wait to return!
