I stayed in four places on this trip to Italy and this one was by far my favorite. The location is excellent - although I had a little bit of a hard time finding the shop where I met the property managers. They provided a shop name but I didn't have a clue which direction to walk once I arrived. More on that in a minute.
The peek-a-boo view of the Tyrrhenian Sea is beautiful, the apartment is outfitted with everything you need and more, lots of extra touches that highlight the ceramics and artisans of the local area. And, there were lots of towels! Something you don't always find in rentals, especially in European rentals. The location is very close to the beach area yet, at least in October, not noisy at all. It was a bit of a climb to the upper areas of Positano but not too difficult. You get there via a winding path, not steps, which is easier to manage, I think. I really hated to leave this place - both because I loved this apartment and because Positano and the Amalfi coast are so gorgeous.
There was an issue with the power while I was there but the managers took such great care of me. And, I am confident they will find and implement a solution so that it won't happen again. All of the people I dealt with were very nice, helpful and concerned whenever I popped into the shop. Special recognition, though, for Clementina who was my main contact and who really jumped in to handle the power issue.
I arrived by boat and the easiest way to find the shop is to look for the big church, Chiesa de Santa Maria Assunta - you can't miss it, as it dominates nearly every view of Positano - go up the steps to the church, around the left side, then back down a few steps - they will provide more information about the shop name, etc. If you are being dropped off in upper Positano, taking the walkway (Via del Mulini) from the spot where Viale Pasitea becomes Via Cristoforo Columbo down to just before the church and turning left will also get you there.
I hope to return to Positano and this apartment in the near future!
A prior review says there was an extra charge for electricity but I did not experience this. When looking at the photos, I think there are only two of this apartment. The very first one of the small balcony - I spent a lot of time out there, and the very last of the bathroom.
