Very good

September 2013 - We were 3 girls staying one week in Appartamento Rococo A and we really enjoyed our holidays! It is a very lovely apartment, very clean and comfortable.

The apartment is located directly on the main road of Positano, so there is really traffic noise all day and sometimes during the night. But we get used to it after one or two nights.

The owners are really friendly and very helpful so that there was nothing that we were missing.

We would definitely book again with Summer in Italy!

Travel tips

  • We rented a car at the airport but it was really difficult to find a parking slot in the evening.
  • The bus connections are really good so it is not necessary to have a car even if we enjoyed driving along the coast and seeing other villages and cities.

Fantastic

July 2013 - Thank you, we had a very lovely week in this apartment. Very nice looking apartment, and a beautiful terrace with flowers and nice furniture.

The owner's family was so nice and service minded. A special thank you to Marlena, she was really sweet and helpful.

The only disadvantage was the noise from the traffic near by, that I'm sorry to admit, disturbed us a great deal.

But we would like to come back to Positano.

Very good and polite service. My son Tobias took the chance and we hired two apartments. We are satisfied with Summer In Italy.

Travel tips

  • Try the steps behind the building, and walk "The Paths of the Gods".

May 2013 - We loved our stay! The apartment was so spacious... such a welcome change after being in hotel rooms the previous week. The terrace is great -- it's where we enjoyed dinner most nights.

We hope to return to Positano and Apartmento Rococo A!!

June 2012 - Anna [the owner] arranged to meet us at the bus stop and proceeded to take us to the most wonderful apartment with magnificnet views over Positano. We were greeted by a welcoming bottle of wine, fruit and all the necessities, like oil, vinegar etc to make life just that little bit easier to settle in.

The apartment was beautifully presented and accommodated our 2 boys well. They slept in the living area, but the main bedroom was well accommodated with a TV, desk and chairs and that "vital" accesss to the balcony and the lights of Positano, enjoyed over a glass or 2 of wine so it wasn't a problem!

We were very well provided for with wonderful fresh bread, fruit and veggies from the excellent grocer next door. We kept very fit with the stairs to and from the beach and the village but it was not an issue, and there was always something beautiful to look at along the way. The beach was about 10 - 15 minutes away from the apartment. The main beach was very rocky and a bit polluted but we found a beautiful little inlet about a 5 minute walk away from the main beach to your right.

We would recommend Appatamento Rococo A extremely highly. If we have the opportunity, we will definitely be back. It was the highlight of our 4 week stay in Italy.

A wonderful recommendation from Summer in Italy. Summer in Italy was the most helpful site we came across in our search for apartments across Italy. Luca was patient and persistent in helping us to find just what we were looking for. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family and hope to avail ourselves of it again one day!

  • Don't miss an opportunity to stay at Appartamento Rococo A. You won't regret it!

August 2011 - We absolutely loved our stay, Anna [the owner] was just wonderful and we enjoyed a beautiful apartment/villa while we absorbed the life of Positano. I would highly recommend Appartamento Rococo A! It was beautifully decorated with the latest and best we felt quite spoiled.

Thanks for looking after our arrangements and when we are travelling in Italy again we will be sure to use Summer in Italy.

Travel tips

  • The little grocery shop at the bottom of the steps has wonderful produce and the family who run it is very friendly and helpful and became friends during our week there, also the little market on the corner just up the street also was good for groceries and any of our needs also very helpful and friendly.
  • A bit of a hike up and down stairs but once you know the bus you can catch it right outside the villa or just a few steps away.

June 2011 - We loved staying here - the traffic on the road beneath was the only drawback, but it did not spoil our stay at all.

Highly recommend Appartamento Rococo A if you don't mind a lot of steps down and then up again to the town, but the view makes it so worthwhile and the owners were lovely and more than happy to do whatever was necessary to make our stay comfortable.

May 2011 - Terrific location and amazing apartment. Both bathrooms have been renewed recently and the terrace has a breath-taking view.

Travel tips

  • Buy food for the fruit shop next door and the minimarket across the street and have a nice dinner in the terrace.

October 2010 - Enjoyed it very, very much. We were concerned with the road been so close but that turned out to be a plus as we enjoyed all the activity that it provided. The terrace was private and we enjoyed having our meals out there with the beautiful view. Having the fruit and vegetable store beside was a plus as we were able to pick up fresh produce each morning.

To wake up in the morning with the doors open in the bedroom and look out from our bed to see the view of Positano was something we will never forget.

Our host Anna and her family were very helpful.

We hope to return.

You guys did a great job -- will use you again and will tell friends about your great service.

August 2010 - I would highly recommend Appartamento Rococo to anyone visiting Positano. It was very recently refurbished when we stayed and everything was just perfect. The views from the very large terrace are just amazing, every photo was like looking at a postcard.

The owner was absolutely lovely and made us feel very welcome. Positano is like a drug, we were completely addicted to the easy way of life, friendly hospitality and the sense of community in the village.

Everything was perfect, thank you so much for a wonderful holiday in Rococo.

Your service is impeccable, you came recommended from a friend and I will certainly recommend your services to other friends and colleagues.

Travel tips

  • It's a long walk up the stairs from the beach but just stop along the way to break up the journey and it's fine, also there's a bus up from the beach which stops outside Rococo when your legs are feeling weary.

August 2010 - We went as a family of 4. Absolutely loved the location, views were amazing as was the apartment.

Only thing was the walk to the beach down all those steps, but even that was a nice trip through the windy houses.

People were so helpful below and at the local alimentari down the road.

The apartment was beautifully furnished, Anna (the landlady) was always at hand to help. My 4yr old loved it so much he didn't want to leave, as was the case for all of us. All in all would definitely recommend it -- 5 :)

You were so extremely helpful. Will definitely be using you again...

Travel tips

  • Make sure everyone going can walk at ease as the beach is a short distance away but you have to walk down lots of steps.

Unfortunately, Appartamento Rococo A can not be booked at this time.

We would love to help you find a suitable alternative. Please be in touch for personal advice from our staff!
