Reviews of Villa Jessica

Excellent

October 2014 - We absolutely loved Villa Jessica. It was such a great surprise that it looked just like the pictures on the website. It is why we picked the Villa the views are spectacular.

We had wine each night on the upper deck, read books and relaxed on the second level deck. We had breakfast each morning in the Villa and had two dinners in the Villa during the week.

The bathrooms were well equipped, and the bedrooms were large with a wonderful view as well.

The noise factor was a bit of a problem. A neighbor has a Jack Russel terrier that barked a lot and in the middle of the night. There was a cat that got into fights almost every night. That just made me laugh, but it did waken me. Our favorite noise was the rooster in the morning. Otherwise, we felt very private.

I love your newsletter. I started reading it after we signed up for Villa Jessica. Your "hints" about life in Italy were great.

All in all we had a wonderful experience.

June 2014 - Villa Jessica was fantastic. Me and my wife had our best vacation ever in this beautiful house.

Large rooms and plenty of space. The terrace, garden and patio are incredible.

We have fallen in love with Positano...

Summer in Italy is like Christmas for a Child... so many houses and apartments... and very easy to deal with... you`ve made our future vacation plans very easy.

May 2014 - Beautifully maintained, and well-equipped, this was a perfect perch to relax at all hours and drink in the view of the sea.

Since it is 70 steps up from the road below (and 184 steps down from the one above), it is quieter than one might expect, and there are no autos rushing by your front door.

Laura [the caretaker] was the perfect hostess... attentive, but respectful of our desire for privacy.

Our experience was seamless with Summer in Italy. We would definitely use your company again for future trips... next time we are planning a couple weeks in the northern Lakes region.

August 2013 - Villa Jessica was great and we really enjoyed it.

We went in the summer and we had to pay extra because we went over the electric usage to run the air conditioners.

Villa Jessica was an excellent choice for us and we would stay there again! Summer in Italy was great and returned all my emails promptly, which was nice since I didn't have my cell phone working to make overseas calls. I was very impressed with Summer in Italy and have already recommended them to friends.

July 2013 - We loved staying in Villa jessica. The views from the terrace are spectacular. You cannot ask for better.

All of the rooms were very spacious, beds were comfortable, the AC worked well and the kitchen nicely equipped.

The owner and her family were most welcoming and kindly helped us with our luggage up the stairs which was most appreciated. They sincerely want you to like their home and have a nice stay. They are helpful when you arrive and go over details of how things in the home operate. Much appreciated.

There are about 70 steep stairs from the street to the villa door and there is no handrail. It sounds worse than it actually is and at night there is lighting on the stairs if you get home after sunset. We chose to walk the street rather than catch the bus because it allowed us to better enjoy the views. The street is more of a grade than a steep hill and by the second day you will be used to it.

We would not hesitate to recommend the villa.

June 2013 - Villa Jessica is just beautiful. Great location near local restaurants and markets that really makes you feel like a true Italian. The view from all the terraces is absolutely spectacular. This home is beautifully appointed with everything you need.

Our family had an unforgettable week in Positano. I would strongly recommend staying at Villa Jessica to enjoy everything Positano has to offer.

Summer in Italy staff is professional in every way!! They are easy to work with and prompt with return emails and phone calls.

June 2013 - Villa Jessica was a real jewel. The people and the location and the views were perfection. Would go back in a minute when I save up the money.

Certainly was superior to any hotel if you enjoy doing what you want when you want to. Also, less expensive.

You were very prompt and thorough during the entire process. Thank you.

June 2013 - It was much more than we had anticipated. Everything was just as it was shown in all the pictures. The villa was beautiful and very large. The outdoor space and the views from the terraces were amazing. We found it hard to believe that we were surrounded by such beauty. The villa was very orderly and clean.

We were made to feel right at home by the owners Laura and Gaetano when we met them.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The first morning we all slept late since the shudders kept the light out and it was so quiet.

We were very happy with your site. You were attentive and helpful at all times and on many levels.Thank you!!!

June 2013 - Great location. The outdoor patios and views were wonderful. The owners were very helpful. They met us on arrival to help us to transfer our luggage to the house and familiarize us with the area. I would highly recommend this villa for a vacation in Positano.

We found it easy to book and the travel information provided very helpful. We found the home to be as described on the web site. We had no negative surprises.

April 2013 - We absolutely enjoyed Villa Jessica!

The location is perfect, much more active than Praiano and not as crazy as Amalfi. There was construction going on during the day, but we were out for most of it either hiking the Path of the Gods or touring Pompeii, Capri, and Ravello. The views from the terrace both day and night were exquisite. We all slept soundly and were ready for another day of tackling the steps and stairs!

Summer In Italy had the best villas, were very easy to work with, were informative and responsive and very clear in your instructions. We would definitely use you again.

December 2012 - Villa Jessica is a jewel. The villa itself is outstanding and the location provides good access to the beach, great restaurants, and the main road where you can catch buses to other towns along the coast.

October 2012 - We loved Villa Jessica from the moment Laura welcomed us and showed us around her villa. It's cleanliness, special touches, spaciousness, views, facilities, and proximity to town all combine to make it one of the best!!

Thought that your site, service and information has been really professional, informative and helpful -- great to get immediate feedback and tips on how to get to accommodation as that is what concerns tourists as they move from one place to another. I would also highly recommend Rainbow Limousines for transfers -- they were well organised, prompt, professional in conduct and dress and very friendly and accommodating.

October 2012 - We really enjoyed this beautiful villa. Liked being in a neighbourhood rather than a touristy area.

The 70 steps from the road were challenging but we managed and it was probably good for us given the wonderful food we ate while out for the day! Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was a dream in which to prepare and cook food. Given the comfort and quality of most furnishings, the living room could stand an update (2 small chairs better suited for children than adult men). We used dining chairs instead.

Overall a delightful experience.

Summer in Italy was recommended to us and we would definitely use you again and recommend to others. What we saw and booked was exactly what we received - very refreshing.

September 2012 - Absolutely gorgeous views and villa.

August 2012 - We loved Villa Jessica... so much that we are already planning a return trip.

Laura and Gaetano [the owners] were incredibly gracious hosts. We felt as if we were guests in someone's home, rather than tenants of a rental property.

This was our 6th trip to Italy, with Positano always being our favourite. It was with this in mind that we wanted to spend a full week of our two-week vacation here. We couldn't have picked a better place to call home.

The temperatures were extremely high during our stay, so unfortunately, spending time enjoying the beautiful outside spaces during the day was impossible... but each and every evening we enjoyed our Prosecco, fresh cheese, and prosciutto before heading out to a late dinner.

The location is superb. We were happy not to be too close to the real touristy area. Walking into town was much welcomed exercise (worked off all of the pasta).

We wouldn't think about booking a villa without you. Your prompt and informative responses to our emails were very much appreciated.

July 2012 - I had very high expectations and Villa Jessica exceeded them all. The villa is amazing, the location perfect to experience the real Positano and the owners were fabulous. I was there for one month and it was not long enough!

May 2012 - We absolutely LOVED everything about Villa Jessica. Our stay in May was with two of our adult children and it could not have been better.

Laura [the owner] is terrific and incredibly helpful.

The villa is outstanding in every way. Not only beautiful but comfortable and well appointed. We felt at home from the moment we arrived.

Positano is not to be missed. We particularly loved Villa Jessica because of it's location where we could be part of the town rather than a tourist; perfect! We went to the local markets and ate like kings. Positano is a wonderful location to get to many surrounding areas as well!

May 2012 - What more can be said about this lovely villa that hasn't already been said.

The views from the terrace and our bedrooms were spectacular. The villa itself was impeccably clean and very well equipped. There was nothing we needed that wasn't there. The owners, Laura and Gaetano were so welcoming and helpful. Laura's suggestions for dining were all right on the money. I don't think we had a bad meal while we were in Positano. We would come back to Villa Jessica in a heart beat and recommend this lovely place to anyone looking for a memorable stay on the Amalfi Coast.

April 2012 - My family (myself, husband and two daughters, aged 20 and 23) had a wonderful experience at Villa Jessica and Positano.

The villa was clean and up to date. We loved that there was WI-FI. The visitors book in the villa offered us lots of hints and suggestions. Laura, the owner, was helpful and sweet. We LOVED the on-site lemon tree! The terrace was our favorite spot of the day... so hard to leave.

We had a rental car and the parking was close and safe. I would highly recommend this to family and friends and we are ready to come back ourselves!

Booked with you because of choice of villas and opportunity to book for less than one week. Great communication and connection with owners. Felt like all was as I expected.

March 2012 - We had the most wonderful time and Villa Jessica was so lovely. The owners were very kind and helpful. We would return there in a heartbeat.

October 2011 - Villa Jessica was a delight. It provided a relaxing holiday retreat. Large and spacious it was a villa with all comforts.

The view was glorious and sitting on the terrace enjoying the great view was a highlight of the holiday. Cooking facilities were fantastic so that you could enjoy nights at home. The view was one of the best in Positano so there was nothing better than enjoying casual eating and good wine on a magnificent terrace.

Laura [the owner] and her family were fantastic. She was always there if you needed assistance and her son and his friend certainly provided a great service and earned their tip for lugging our suitcases up steps.

October 2011 - We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Villa Jessica.

Laura [the owner] and her family were so welcoming and accommodating that we immediately felt welcome and relaxed. The villa was well equipped and spacious and the views were spectacular.

We walked everywhere in town and loved it. This is a perfect place to be to explore the Amalfi coast. Between the four of us we went to Sorrento, Capri, Praiano, Amalfi and Ravello and used the ferries and the buses. The food, people, shopping and culture were amazing.

We would definitely come back to this villa.

Thank you for all your help along the way... you are a very professional group. We appreciated your suggestions for transfer to and from Positano from Naples... Manuel from Renuto Cuomo's service was wonderful... helpful, patient, funny, punctual and a good singer!!!

June 2011 - Villa Jessica is amazing with the most spectacular views. Laura [the owner] is a beautiful lady and extremely helpful. We felt very much at home here. The property is spotless and very well equipped. The balcony is magnificent, so big, with breathtaking views.

Climbing all those stairs to the villa is great exercise - means you can enjoy all the beautiful food that Positano has to offer and then walk it all off.

We had an absolute ball staying in this beautifully appointed and well maintained villa.

Summer in Italy is fantastic. Booked through you by chance finding on the Internet and would thoroughly recommend your service. Enjoyed getting the newsletters prior to our trip (they were most helpful). Don't really think there is anything to improve on.

April 2011 - Thank you for recommending Villa Jessica to us. We enjoyed our stay there.

The owners are very nice. Laura, the owner, said if we would have asked she would have purchased milk, bread, butter, jam and coffee for us before we arrived [prospective guests: please feel free to make arrangements with our staff]. There are many steps in Positano but what a true Italian village. The owner, husband, and son carried are bags to the villa for us. The husband helped us with the bags also when we left.

We will think about returning there.

I really enjoyed working with Summer In Italy and will recommend your services. My friend had found you on the internet and told me. Luca I would have enjoyed meeting you.

April 2011 - Villa Jessica was exactly what I was looking for. It was spacious and comfortable with a gorgeous terrace with chairs and a view. The villa is fully equipped.

The local owner is wonderful. She speaks English very well and met us at the bus as planned. She also, very graciously, agreed to pre-purchase groceries for our arrival, since many stores are closed on Sunday.

The villa is located within walking distance to town, but yet is not in the noisy area. There are 170 steps down to the villa and another 170 steps down to the nearest restaurant. The two local restaurants she recommends are excellent.

We would definitely go there again if we visit Positano in the future.

March 2011 - The stay at Villa Jessica was wonderful. The villa was well outfitted with all the necessities for a peaceful and relaxing visit. We took turns alternating between going out for dinner at the little restaurants close by, or buying food at the little stores near by and cooking for ourselves.

The terrace was wonderful with a good view of Positano, the sea and the moon and stars at night.

The villa is well situated and it was a short walk to most of the sites to see in Positano.

June 2010 - We loved our stay at Villa Jessica! The Villa looks exactly as shown in the pictures and is spotless.

As far as location, there are lots of steps, but on the flip side you have the most beautiful views from the terraces and the option of easily exploring up or down the mountain.

Our party went out to dinner each night but loved having the full kitchen for our breakfast, sometimes lunch and snack times.

The owners are incredibly nice and make the stay that much more pleasant.

As stated the villa has two roomy bedrooms and can sleep a third party in the living rooms pull-out sofa. I will have to be honest and say that the pull-out sofa for a third party may need further thought as it is extremely uncomfortable. Other than the sofa situation the stay was perfect and magical.

This was our first time booking with SummerInItaly and we have already recommended SII as first rate!

May 2010 - We have stayed at over a dozen rentals in Europe, and Villa Jessica is superior to all of them.

Good job. Thank you.

May 2010 - There are no negatives when speaking of your stay at Villa Jessica. Summerinitaly do a wonderful job. The owners are there from the moment they greet you and they are a cell phone call away if you need ANYTHING!!!

The house is quite large and the outdoor patio/garden area could support a cocktail party for 100 people!! Did I mention the view? High above the Amalfi Coast Villa Jessica commands exceptional views over the sparkling Mediterranean Sea with it's ever changing silhouettes against the blue sky.

The house is spotless, sheets smell fresh and lovely fresh cut flowers in master bedroom. Very well equipped kitchen/outdoor pizza oven and grill. From your bed you can see the sea. There is a balcony with french doors... You become a witness to "Divine generosity".

A small commuter bus is at the base of the stairs (72 steps) for a quick ride 3-5 mins. into the base-village of Positano. We preferred to walk down the one-way narrow ribbon-like road for the views... 10 minute walk, if you don't stop to shop or "graze". The little bus is 1.50 Euro (cheaper if you buy ticket at Tabacchi shop) and it does a 15-20 min. loop all over Positano area so you can hop off and on. Above Villa Jessica is the SITA bus (Bar Internazionale stop) which takes you to Sorrento (north), Amalfi (Ravello). Groceries, pharmacy, fish store, butcher, Tabacchi shop, restaurant are here also. It is 89 steps but you are carrying wine and food down hill!!! Bring a cloth bag to tote purchases in.

Summerinitaly are perfect.

Rooms are very large and the bathroom is a good size. Wonderful location with exceptional views & privacy. Even though the weather was less than hospitable, we were more than comfortable in the villa where everything was of a very high standard (and so clean).

Laura, Gaetano & the boys [the owners] could not have been more welcoming, from helping to lug my daughter's 25 kg suitcase up the stairs to providing us with enough firewood to heat Positano.

Summer in Italy have also been excellent - great communication, everything went according to plan & very easy to deal with. I booked with Summer in Italy after finding through Google.

The website pictures do not do justice to the property. I had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. The terraces and the view were breathtaking. The villa was spacious, well-equiped and immaculate.

I suggest reading all the past guest comments as they were very helpful--there were no surprises about the unbelievable amount of steps!!

Laura [the owner] was very helpful and gracious. I hope that someday I am fortunate enough to return.

Summer in Italy was top rate! I only chose you by surfing the web and liked everything I read about the company and the properties. Everything was done in a timely and efficient manner.

May 2009 - Villa Jessica in a word. Amazing!!! When we arrived we felt we'd taken a step into paradise. It is quite possibly the most beautiful spot on earth.

Highly recommend the small store at the base of 2 sets of steps for all your shopping needs and the restaurant at the top of the hill (it's the only one open in the off season) although we were there when all spots were open - they had the best food and prices we found. And has a great view.

Stay away from the restaurants at the bottom of the hill pricey and the food isn't nearly as good as those at the top.

I'd stay there again in a heart beat.

Your service and value is fantastic - your responsiveness is also good - thanks!

August 2008 - I cannot think of a better place to have spent a large portion of my honeymoon. This villa is absolutely perfect. I could rave about any number of specifics, but will focus here on: the view, the kitchen, the outdoor area surrounding the villa, and the owners.

The view from Villa Jessica is astounding. Upon arrival, my wife and I were literally speechless at the beautiful scenery. We spent our first few hours at the villa simply lounging in the provided patio furniture gazing out at the sea. Every morning we would wake up to the same view from the bedroom terrace. The view alone makes this place worth renting.

The kitchen is also something worth raving about. After spending 4 hectic (and expensive) days in rooms we were looking forward to settling in and cooking some of our own meals. The kitchen at Villa Jessica is well stocked with all necessary amenities, and the local markets provide tremendously fresh local produce.

Although we thoroughly enjoyed the inside of Villa Jessica, the real beauty of this place is the outdoor setting. There is as much room outside, as there is in, and you should definitely take advantage of this. There are essentially three separate patio areas at the villa, one of which I did not even know about until the 3rd day of our stay because of the expansive nature of the property. Fig, olive, and lemon trees are scattered throughout the outdoor area, adding the to the charm.

Lastly, the owners of Villa Jessica are perhaps the two most delightful people in Italy. Laura and Gaetano could not have been more thoughtful and accommodating during our stay.

My wife and I are already discussing a return trip to Positano ---- and we will only stay at Villa Jessica. This place is great.

Summer in Italy was a fantastic site. Easy to use, very straightforward, and well run. You provide great information from everything from travel to and from the villa, to suggestions about the locale. Well done Summer in Italy, and thank you for all of your hard work. Laura and Gaetano at Villa Jessica are great people and I am happy to have found them thanks to you.

August 2008 - We had a great time in Villa Jessica. There were 5 of us staying but the place is enormous so we bounced around it!

As we were in Positano for a friends' wedding there were 25 of us in the resort in total, we often had friends over for the evening as the terrace is great for relaxing and eating and drinking. Considering the resort is so densely packed the vast outside space we had was excellent.

August 2008 - A wonderful wonderful holiday home.

We had an excellent week made all the more enjoyable by the delightful owners who were always ready to help and advise.

We thoroughly enjoyed our boat trip with Laura & Gaetano [the owners].

The views from Villa Jessica will remain in our memory forever.

Based on our experience of Villa Jessica we would have no hesitation in booking through you again or recommending Villa Jessica or Summer in Italy to friends.

July 2008 - I spent five weeks at Villa Jessica, and plan to go back - perhaps next year, certainly no longer than the year after.

I was there long enough to get into the rhythm of the town and neighborhood, and it is all good. The fireworks at night, the bands in the street on a Sunday morning, the great local restaurants and "local" white wine.

The owners, Gaetano and Laura could not be more fun, or more helpful, and did a great deal to give us all a lot of great memories.

You folks at SummerInItaly do an excellent job.

June 2008 - We all loved Villa Jessica, the views were fabulous, the villa itself was spacious and very clean. Laura and Gaetano were excellent hosts and answered all of our questions and gave us tips on sites to see.

We would recommend Villa Jessica to anyone traveling to Positano, the location was perfect... quiet, and yet accessible to great restaurants, shops and the beach too.

Thank you for providing such a pleasant villa for us.

Wonderful advice from Luca at Summer In Italy about Villa Jessica, excellent vacation location. Thank you for your service, I will recommend it to others.

May 2008 - Villa Jessica is a gem. It is beautiful, stylish, well-maintained, and very private, and it offers a great value for the money. I have stayed in two other villas in Positano and Villa Jessica is my favorite.

The view of the sea and the town from the three upper terraces is breath-taking and the lower terrace affords shelter from the sun and is a great place for dining al fresco.

The downstairs of the house stays cool in the heat and air conditioning is provided in the upstairs bedrooms which makes for a comfortable stay.

The water pressure in the bathrooms is good and the hot water tank is large enough to provide hot showers for all guests, which can be quite rare in Italy.

The owners, Laura and Gaetano, could not be kinder, more considerate, or more helpful.

The location is excellent, although you must be able to negotiate many steps, as is true in the rest of the town as well: 79 steps from the main road up to the villa.

We loved this place and will certainly rent it again when we return to Positano.

You have an excellent staff. Andrea answered every question I had quickly and cheerfully and simply couldn't have been more helpful. He is a real asset to your business. I will definitely book again through Summer In Italy.

May 2008 - I have not been able to stop raving about our stay at Villa Jessica. After seeing photos and hearing about our stay, many of my friends and co-workers have expressed an interest in renting Villa Jessica or a similar property. I have given your web site info to at least a dozen people who are very interested.

I would like to thank Laura at Villa Jessica for her kind assistance when needed. The villa is beautiful and Laura was very helpful. I don't know when I have enjoyed a vacation so much.

I was fearful that the pictures of the properties on-line would not portray the reality, but I was so happy to find that the reality was more spectacular than the on-line pictures or descriptions. You made finding our ideal property and booking a simple matter even for someone who is not particularly computer-savvy. Your site is very thorough, secure, and professional looking. You do an excellent job.

May 2008 - Once you accept that if you want to do things in Positano and in the general Sorrento and Amalfi areas there are steps, the Villa Jessica is perfectly placed. The 80 steps up to the main road are challenging but compared with other villas and hotels, Jessica's access to buses and walking down to the town and the sea front couldn't be better.

We were two couples in our fifties who found the Villa absolutely enchanting. There is so much space with the chance to eat inside or out. The terrace is spacious and commands a remarkable view of the sea, the hills/cliffs behind and the town below.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would book the Villa again without hesitation.

Keep on doing what you are doing. By providing a very personal and honest service you are making a holiday booked via you something very special. Your attention to detail was impressive.

May 2008 - I can't say enough about this property or Laura (the owner) and her husband. We had so much fun and such a relaxing time at Villa Jessica. Just what we wanted.

The villa is beautiful but be prepared to walk stairs. I suggest taking the local bus and walking down to the villa if you go to the beach or in town. But everything is there. Market, veggie store, butcher just everything. And the villa has everything you need and more!!!

The local bus lets you off at the International Bar which is a great place to stop for a drink or coffee before going back to the villa, very friendly.

Laura also has all kinds of brochures and info in the villa to go and do anything you want to in the area. We took the boat cruise to Capri and had a fabulous time. I will definitely be going back, not only to Positano but to Villa Jessica

Great site and easy to look and pick out places. I would suggest your site to anyone going to Italy

April 2008 - Our stay in Villa Jessica was excellent. We had a fantastic time in Positano and Villa Jessica made it even better.

The villa is in a great location and Laura, the property owner, greeted us and gave us a tour of the house and also some tips for the area.

A market is a "few" steps above which was quite convenient and numerous restaurants are steps below which we tried for dinner a few nights during our stay.

We enjoyed the large terrace and loved that both bedrooms had terrific views of the sea. Additionally, the living room was a good size and the kitchen and dining room area gave us enough room to hang out and enjoy some wine and play cards.

I would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to others traveling here. It was hard to leave!

We had a great experience coordinating our rental with the staff at Summer in Italy. They were very informative and answered all our questions relating to our trip, some of which didn't apply to just the Villa. Additionally, all staff responded quickly to all inquiries. I would definitely recommend to others to work with Summer in Italy. It was a pleasure to coordinate our stay with such informative and pleasant people. I hope we can plan another trip to Italy soon. All the best!

October 2007 -

We loved Villa Jessica. We had so much fun sipping our wine on the terrace every night before we went to dinner. The view was beautiful.

There were good restaurants with great food within walking distance. It was a 15 minute walk to the beach/town area, but the walk helped wear off all that wine and food we enjoyed.

We spent all our time outside, but the villa was well done and clean.

Laura [the owner] was delightful and was there when we arrived and was on time at checkout.

Thank you.

September 2007 - Thank you to Laura, Gaetano and family for a most wonderful stay in Villa Jessica! Your home is fantastic and the view is breathtaking!

We enjoyed ferrying to Capri, scootering the Amalfi coast, a trip to Pompeii, and most of all our wonderful Italian dinner!!

Villa Jessica is very spacious and a wonderful place to just relax in a 5 star way!!

August 2007 - We very much enjoyed Villa Jessica and would say that the presentation on the Internet did not begin to demonstrate the beauty of either the setting, the view or the house itself.

The size of the rooms and the colors both inside and outside couldn't have been better chosen.

The walk to either the town, the beach or up to the road was somewhat arduous but the local bus took all the work out of it.

We were pleased with the entire transaction with Summer In Italy. We thank the staff for responding quickly to our questions and for perfectly taking care of our stay. We selected SII because we wanted to be in Positano and you had what we considered to be the house best suited to our needs.

July 2007 - Our family enjoyed our stay at Villa Jessica.

We really enjoyed the villa as it was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The exterior and interior were beautiful and personal.

The villa is decorated with nice personal mementos and pictures of Positano.

From our villa we were able to see many of the summer activities, such as fireworks. We were able to relax and enjoy the wonderful view!

We found Summer in Italy very helpful and delivered everything as promised. They provided a lot of information and promptly returned our emails inquiries. We would recommend Summer in Italy.

June 2007 - Villa Jessica was beautiful, the rooms are large and spacious, the ceilings are high making the house cool and inviting.

The owners are helpful and friendly and ensure that you feel at home, yet on holiday.

Positano can get busy, however spending time at the villa allowed you to escape from the crowds when needed, but still remain in touch with the vibrant Amalfi Mediterranean spirit.

It doesn't face on to the beach side of Positano, yet still provides spectacular views. It is quite high up the cliff face so, although we always walked down to the beach, the return journey was with the internal Positano bus.

The villa is a great warm welcoming place to stay and easily had space for the four of us, with space for six being comfortably available.

I would recommend this villa to any visitor to Positano who wants to be able to escape the hustle and bustle of the lower areas of the village.

June 2007 - We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The online photos really don't do this villa justice.

The owners were really friendly and couldn't have been more helpful.

We had an excellent week and highly recommend it to future travellers!!.

Excellent service, no problems and everything worked out well. Keep this villa on the books.

June 2007 - Our stay in Villa Jessica was absolutely perfect.

The house was beautiful, clean and even better than we expected. Signora Laura [the owner] was lovely and really helpful - there were a couple of minor things that needed adjusting on the first day and she came around straight away to help.

Overall, a perfect holiday!

May 2007 - We found the Villa Jessica delightful. There was plenty of space for two couples.
