We were so pleased we had chosen Casa Montechiaro for our stay in Positano. My husband and I have found it impossible to think of anything that could be improved upon. The location is about a ten minute walk down into Positano (lovely views all the way), can be a little exhausting coming back in hot weather though, so you need to have a decent level of fitness especially to manage the steps up to the apartment. I would definitely choose Casa Montechiaro again though, the views from the balcony were amazing and we could have sat there all day. Its position means that it is in the shade in the afternoon, which we were glad of, otherwise the apartment would be much to hot in the evening, we stayed here at the end of May and we didn't need to use the air conditioning. Everything you need for a relaxing break is here. If there was one thing that was a little annoying, was the sound of dogs barking quite frequently, it didn't disturb us to much but the noise just spoilt the tranquillity of the area at times (don't let this put you off, this is an amazing apartment). Raffaele and Angela were fantastic hosts, always available if you have any questions. Visited Sorrento on the bus (great for shopping and much cheaper than Positano) just one tip here, whenever you go somewhere on the bus, don't leave it to late for your return, the queues can get very long in the late afternoon. Capri itself was a little disappointing - to crowded, enjoyed the boat ride more. Went with Positano Boats (based on the beach) a small boat with just about 12 people, more intimate and friendly, we were able to go for a swim off the boat and get close to points of interest around the island. Fantastic places to eat in Positano, Casa Mele the closest, not cheap but amazing food (if you are familiar with Master Chef then this is the kind of food served, need to book though!), service exceptional. We have fantastic memories of our holiday here and I am certain we will be back one day, hopefully back to Casa Montechiaro.
