Reviews of Villa Cuore

Excellent

November 2012 - Villa Cuore is a beautiful place, perfectly situated a short walk from the bustle of Positano. It has beautiful views, the calming sound of surf far below and all the space and equipment you need to cook your own meals and relax.

We stayed a week and had a lovely time. Anna [the owner] and her family were friendly and helpful.

October 2012 - Villa Cuore is pretty much as close to heaven on earth as you can get. A beautiful place that's owned and managed by a wonderful, friendly couple who go out of their way to help make for a welcomed stay.

The villa is a good 10-15 minute walk from the heart of Positano but honestly... I viewed that as a positive as I didn't want to be smack dab in the "commercial" zone of Positano. This felt a little more "local" and the place was simply breathtaking.

I wouldn't hesitate in booking Villa Cuore again and would actually love to be back there now!

Thank you 'Summer in Italy'... renting through you was fantastic and I'd use you again in a heartbeat... as well as recommend your site to others.

August 2012 - I enjoyed the villa. A lot of steps, but worth it for the view. Anna and Fernando [the owners] were perfect hosts. I will go back.

August 2012 - Villa Cuore is in a fantastic location with truly sensational views. Positano is beautifully located on the Amalfi Coast.

The picture are a true representation of the villa and we could not have been more pleased with the villa itself. The free wifi was a pleasant and welcome surprise. The washing machine was a great help and the recommendations for local eateries and vendors from the owners who live next door were wonderful.

A wonderful holiday experience that made our 20th wedding anniversary memorable.

Summer in Italy did a great job. This was our first experience utilizing your service for a vacation booking and we would use your service again, for sure. Your tips in advance were most helpful and help set the stage for a successful vacation.

Very good

June 2012 - Villa Cuore is situated in the most picturesque part of Positano, overlooking Arienzo Beach, crystal clear water and the best beach restaurant along the coast, a boat is available to take to the main beach on Positano.

The villa is simple but has most things you require for a comfortable stay, I stayed for 3 weeks, I was cooking at home 2 or 3 times a week, the kitchen was equipped with everything I needed. If you are staying for more than a week, there is no extra clean or change of sheets, you do this yourself, which I didn't mind. The terrace has room for 2 people, it has a stunning view overlooking the beach.

The access to beach is not directly from the villa, you walk back up the stairs and then along the road and down 300 stairs to the beach, it is not a hard walk, and the path down to the beach is shaded and pretty past beautiful villas and gardens. The walk into Positano takes around 8-10 minutes and is also a pleasant easy walk, there is an Interno bus from La Sponda bus stop which takes you all around Positano it really is no effort, once you get into the swing of the buses it is all very easy. The best grocery shopping and cheapest, also best coffee and cakes, is up at Chiesa Nuova, Bar Internazionale, the oldest bar in Positano, the locals bar, it is half the price of all the others and the best produce, their is also the fish market and butchers around the corner. They will deliver as well so you don't have to carry a thing back with you.

For couples this is a perfect apartment to stay in, so quiet with a view to die for. The hosts are there for you if you require assistance, other than that they leave you to have your privacy. I would stay here again, and I have stayed in many apartments and villas in Positano.

Summer in Italy have always been wonderful to deal with, thank you Luca.

April 2012 - Villa Cuore far exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect walking distance from the center. It immediately felt like home. It was so very perfect for two people. We could not have asked for anything more. Anna and Ferdinando were excellent host.

We just cannot say enough about how positive our visit was. The views! High above the beach. We were lulled to sleep every night.

Summer In Italy was excellent. Everyone we dealt with was so very nice and it was all very efficiently done. There was not a question they could not answer.

We would definitely highly recommend Villa Cuore and Summer in Italy made it so easy. Would love to come back!

October 2011 - We absolutely loved our time at Villa Cuore and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast.

Anna [the owner] is very nice and helpful.

The villa is spotless and the views are amazing.

We could not have been happier with our stay and will definitely be visiting again.

This was my first experience with booking anything through Summer in Italy and it was a very good experience. The team is very responsive to email inquiries and the documentation packet with directions, what to expect etc was extremely helpful. Also, the villa was exactly as pictured on the site.

October 2011 - Home away from home. An excellent place to stay. Quiet because its not in the heart of town but close enough to walk to everything.

Excellent

September 2011 - My wife and I spent a week of our honeymoon at this villa in September and really enjoyed the experience.

Anna and her husband [the owners] were very helpful and we were very happy to find a wonderful and spotlessly clean villa.

We hired a scooter to get around while there and there is easy parking there for this. However it's not necessary to have one as the walk to Positano centre is an easy and enjoyable walk. Most of the walk is relatively flat with only the last part a bit steep but there's no avoiding some steep walking if you stay in Positano.

The beach below is well worth visiting and we enjoyed drinking, eating and chatting with the friendly owner.

If we were to return to Positano and wished to stay in a villa we would definitely want to stay back at Villa Cuore.

Thank You Anna and Ferdinando for an unforgettable stay. We also want to thank Summerinitaly. Keep up the good work.

September 2011 - Owners very welcoming and always ready to give help.

September 2011 - We enjoyed Villa Cuore tremendously. The villa itself, the surroundings, the small terrace hanging over the sea, the owners who are very, very nice and accommodating people, small doggie Barole - the "guard", the beach (and the rocky road to it!) and an opportunity to experience beautiful Italian sizzling summer.

Thank you - very nicely done.

I would like to take this opportunity and let you know that we really liked the way Summer in Italy handled the entire reservation process, we found it very convenient, efficient and not stressful. Thank you.

August 2011 - We had an amazing time! Perfect place for a honeymoon!

Excellent

August 2011 - My husband and I stayed in Villa Cuore for our honeymoon and can honestly say that it was perfect.

We were met at the villa by Anna & husband who helped us down the 100 steps to the villa (much appreciated). The first thing we saw was the view and we were completely blown away. The villa was the second and it was also completely amazing.

Anna and her husband live next door. They left us completely in peace but were always available for anything we needed.

The location was perfect. A 10-15 min walk along the coast road into Positano which we did everyday and completely loved.

The beach is directly below the villa. Again perfect and the restaurant attached to the beach has food to die for.

10/10 for everything. Thank you Villa Cuore!

August 2011 - Villa Cuore is breathtaking in every respect, location, view, design, decoration, equipment and finally owners. Anna & Ferdinando could not have been more helpful

Booking was so easy from start to finish.

August 2011 - Villa Cuore was a beautiful place in which to celebrate our 25th anniversary.

It was located just out of town, which was nice because Positano can get very busy. It was also a good idea to walk off the calories from all the wonderful food!

Anna and her husband were excellent hosts, providing us with wine and prosecco for purchase, as well as discounts at local restaurants. I fell in love with the family dog, Baron, who greeted us on our return each evening :-)

The steps are strenuous, but again, we used that as our excuse to enjoy all the bounty the area had to offer in food/wine.

I wish we could visit Villa Cuore every year!!!

We loved the ease of booking through Summer in Italy. Your services came highly recommended from a friend who told us about the site, and it really WAS as easy as it appeared. Thank you so much for helping to make our 25th anniversary at Villa Cuore, the "trip of a lifetime"!

July 2011 - Our stay at Villa Cuore far exceeded our expectations. We had a ball!

Our hosts, Anna and Ferdinando, were helpful, warm and most generous with their time.

Positano is the perfect location from which to launch yourself into the Amalfi Coast.

Your newsletters and instructions were clear and helpful. They really made us feel comfortable about traveling in Italy. Thanks, Luca and Summer in Italy.!

December 2010 - My husband and I spent 9 days in December of 2010 at Villa Cuore.

I have to say that has to be one of the nicest vacations if not the nicest one we had so far.

The location of the villa is unbelievable. The view is breathtaking. Most importantly the cleanliness of the villa was beyond expected. The amenities, as described on the website, were all there. The house is exactly if not better than the pictures on the summerinitaly.com website showed.

Anna the owner along with her husband were very hospitable and extremely helpful in every possible way.

We enjoyed our stay so much that we keep talking about going back one day.

We also want to thank the staff at summerinitaly.com for their prompt and professional reply to every request we had.

Before we left to Italy we kept thinking that everything seemed too good to be true. Now we say it was too good and soo true!

Amazing trip !!!!

We found your website while surfing the net. We would book another trip with you in a heart beat. Thank you soooo much ;)

Excellent

October 2010 - We spent over 4 weeks in Italy and our stay in Cuore and in Positano was the highlight of the trip. If we can, we will try to come back next year.

Our hosts were gracious and helpful and the view from the apartment is breathtaking.

The apartment itself is completely charming and everything we could have wished for.

The service from Summer in Italy was spectacular and the best of any of the agencies we used. Keep up the good work.

October 2010 - We LOVED our stay in Villa Cuore. The hosts, Mrs. Anna and Mr. Ferdinando are quite hospitable. The views from the bedroom and the small private patio are simply amazing - the best memory of our entire trip.

The kitchen is well appointed - we cooked breakfasts and a few dinners and had everything we needed. There really is no living room - simply a wicker loveseat and desk in the bedroom.

Anyone renting here needs to consider the stairs... 92 down to the place and back up to the street. Not an issue for us, but might be for others.

We loved Villa Cuore and hope to go back.

You've been great to deal with - we've recommended you to friends and will use your services again - thank you!

September 2010 - My wife and I felt so lucky to have discovered Villa Cuore. We were sure that we had found the best place to stay in Positano, and we would return without hesitation.

The service provided by Summer in Italy was terrific. Communication was always to the point and any requests for information from me were always dealt with promptly. I was impressed. You made the planning stage easy.

Excellent

August 2010 - I am always nervous renting site unseen. I'm an internet research junkie when I travel. I scour the net for reviews and photos to be certain I'm getting what I think I am. That is why I am leaving a review for this rental. To help you decide ;-)

I've been to many countries, but have yet to rent a place a wonderful as Villa Cuore. The owners are super friendly and live next door. It is behind a locked gate (good for safety). Getting to the villa are many steps but the view is so spectacular, you hardly notice how far down you go.

The villa is perfect for a romantic getaway. It's very clean and tasteful. The air conditioning in the sweltering heat of August was most appreciated! I have nothing but praise for this place!

It's a five minute walk to town. A stroll I enjoyed every single day. As a solo female traveler, I always felt safe. No problems whatsoever. I'm glad I did not stay "in" Positano as it was so noisy at night, I would not have been able to sleep. In Villa Cuore, the waves crashing against the beach sang me to a glorious sleep every night. Bliss!

All of the electronics worked perfectly, including the internet.

But, sadly, I was the one who broke the chicken in the photo. I'm so sorry Anna! She was gracious about it. And, when I left my passport underneath the bed, a quick phone call to her resolved the problem. She held it for me until I could return to get it. (Along with a lot of cash there too!) A very honorable and delightful woman.

I spent one joyous week there and hope to return to it again someday! If this is in your price range and you want to rent in Positano, than THIS PLACE MUST BE YOUR CHOICE.

Booking with Summer in Italy was a breeze! They do a fantastic job!

I like your service and e-mails. Once I booked via you and after that I have used you, because it is easy and everything is working fine. Thank you!

June 2010 - Villa Cuore is a beautiful little villa for 2. Although it is a short walk into town, this allows for more peace and quiet while enjoying your time at the villa.

We loved everything about Positano and will definitely be staying at Villa Cuore again when we return in the future!

Summer in Italy is a great organization. We found you on the Internet and are very happy be booked with you. Thank you!

Excellent

June 2010 - This was an absolutely beautiful, romantic, peaceful villa. We could not have picked a better place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary! The furnishings were very nice.

We enjoyed the location -- below the road, directly above the beach. The beach was beautiful, and we loved falling asleep to the crashing of the waves.

The family who owned the villa lived right beside it, and we had a great time talking with them. They helped us with so many things -- from helping watch the World Cup matches to buying bread. The wine selection they provided for our purchase was outstanding, and saved a lot of effort.

Our stay was much better than staying in a hotel in the middle of a city. We are recommending this villa to our friends and we plan to come back.

The service by Summer In Italy was very useful and accurate. We had no negative surprises, only positive surprises. Thank you for your help!

April 2010 - The view from Villa Cuore is spectacular. Bedroom is comfortable. I would suggest a couple of more comfortable chairs as the small wicker loveseat is really not comfortable.

Travel tips

April 2010 - Nice and clean apartment, a bit small, no living room, located 0.8 km from Positano through a walk on a tight main road, apartment located many steps down (equivalent to 4-5 floors), nice view although not of Positano, recommended for people in relatively good shape for climbing steps every day.

Big plus: the friendly couple that owns the apartment will go out of their way to accommodate you. That made the stay very enjoyable. Thanks, Anna and your husband!

Parking costs were an extra 10 euro/day. Parking entrance is tight, for small cars (medium size by Italian standards!), definitely not for a Mercedes E.

September 2009 - My wife and I enjoyed a great stay at Villa Cuore. Just above the beach, Arienzo beach, and a quick walk to Positano center, made for a perfect location.

The Villa is perfectly appointed including a great wine selection stocked by our most gracious hosts: Ferdinando and Anna. They, along with their family, made for a great time.

Two weeks is never enough time; we already long to return.

Highly recommend Summer in Italy, prompt replies to our inquiries, very professional, accurate and caring. Grazie mille to all staff for their courteous, customer focused attention.

August 2009 - We had a fantastic time at Villa Cuore. We spent a week there on our honeymoon and we couldn't have asked for a better location, view or villa to spend our time.

Mrs. Anna [the owner] was fantastic and very helpful. Her family lives next door but you would never know that they were there, other than to say hello when we walked past in the evening. Very friendly people!

We look forward to straying at Villa Cuore again!

Your website was very accurate and we were very happy with the information provided and the ease of arrangements to meet the owner of Villa Cuore. We will use your site again to book accomodations in the future! Thank you!!

August 2009 - We immensely enjoyed our stay and the owners took care to ensure we were well looked after during our visit.

The location is fantastic - the town is a short walk and so is the small beach.

August 2009 - Villa Cuore was a beautiful place to stay.

The owners were more than obliging and very friendly. On our arrival they had put a bottle of cold water in the fridge for us which was very much appreciated. Also they had stocked the wine rack with the local wines and were available to us to buy for the price they paid for them, this saved us having to go to the village.

The views from the villa were amazing.

If we went to Positano again we would stay there again.

May 2009 - Truly, the time we spent at Villa Cuore was one of our best vacations ever.

The entire apartment was new and beautiful - definitely ready for travelers with high expectations. We appreciated the appliances - A/C, washing machine, dishwasher, etc. The kitchen was well equipped (although there was a shortage of knives. Only 1 I recall...). We did not cook as much as I planned on - but the option to cook really helps with costs.

The place was very clean and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows - very important!

The views are spectacular. And you can hear the waves crashing on the shore below.

The location is PERFECT for visiting the Amalfi coast - you can walk to Positano and take the SITA bus to explore other areas. There are MANY stairs but that is typical in the area. Do not recommend, however, for travelers who are in poor health or physical shape becouse of the stairs.

The owners were so sweet. I did not realize until one of the last days that they had children - did not hear a peep out of them.

Overall - GO! I hesitated to book because when I did there were no reviews. But I'm so happy with Villa Cuore. You can't go wrong!

Terrific overall! Can't wait to come back!
