THE BEST view of Positano of all other housing!

April 2024 - WE loved staying at Casa Edda and I am convinced it has THE BEST view of Positano of all other housing! It was perfect for a mother/daughter quick getaway. The location was good and easy to find - amid all the small passageways of stairs. Its location on the cliff made it just right for going down to the beach and back up again without too much stress. I highly recommend it! Check in was flawless with Angela [the caretaker] making us feel immediately welcomed.

I found Summer In Italy on line by chance. It was a very good experience! I will recommend to my friends.

Travel tips

  • The gelato shop at the top of the stairs and across the street was one of the very best we found!
  • There is a grocery store that will deliver to your door Alimentari Cinque Giuseppina.

Perfect location!

May 2023 - Casa Edda is well looked after, very clean and has everything you need. Location was perfect for my daughter and I. Great restaurants all within walking distance. Beach was fabulous, more restaurants down there also. Cute shops everywhere. Laundry at Cada Edda was very handy to have, terrace had enough space to sit and eat a meal. To get to the front door though be prepared to carry your luggage down and back up when you check out.

Luca who looks after the bookings was amazing and very well organized. I would use Summer In Italy for sure the next time we travel to Italy. I trust Luca 100%.

Future guests, if you ever wondered whether there is an alternative at carrying your luggage up and down the stairs of Positano, the answer is a definite yes. The Positano Porters are there just for that: they move baggage and other heavy loads to (and from!) villas and apartments in Positano, for a fee! Contact details at: https://www.summerinitaly.com/guide/positano-porter ;)

Travel tips

  • Lots of steps, but if you've researched Positano you already know that.
  • We used private drivers to get around instead of figuring out buses.

Best thing about it is the location

September 2022 - The best thing about Casa Edda is its location - both for convenience and the view. Casa Edda is a short, easy walk to the beach and all the best shops, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, etc. Waking up to the view of Positano every day was a dream, and the home includes everything you need from a full kitchen to a washing machine.

Summer In Italy is a great option for variety and alternative to extremely pricey, much smaller hotel rooms. I travelled with a 2 month old and would not have enjoyed my trip without the extra amenities that Summer In Italy provided (multiple rooms, full kitchen, etc.). Will certainly use again in the future.

Travel tips

  • Tips could go on forever... Lentino airport transfer was much cheaper than alternative options. Locally owned and operated for over 25 years - Tommaso is the best.
  • Best breakfast nearby at Posides Cafe, great pizza (without the stairs to the beach) at Restaurant Saraceno D'Oro, Latteria Mini Market Positano is great for cappuccino and pastries. The list is endless, Casa Edda is near it all.
  • If you really hate the beach stairs, you can avoid by following the road to Restaurant Max.
  • Blue Star Positano Boat Tours and Rentals was incredible and is a family owned business.
  • If you want a pool, hotels sell day passes for EUR 50 per person. Paying the fee is much cheaper than buying a room and you get far more from your Summer In Italy home.

Awesome view

August 2022 - You are renting this primarily for the view which is awesome. The apartment was clean, facilities were adequate. Keep in mind that this has been around a while and is not a modern hotel. That being said the property manager was very nice, gave good direction as to how everything worked and overall it was a great experience.

Summer In Italy did a fine job and answered all of our questions in a timely fashion.

Travel tips

  • Italians drive very different than Americans... We rented a scooter, and I own 2, but next time I think I would just take a ferry. It was so crowded in August, on the street going to Amalfi, we turned around. A ferry would have dropped us off in town.

June 2022 - Casa Edda was an incredible property. The view from all rooms and balcony was absolutely spectacular. The beds were very comfortable and the location perfect. We loved our stay at Casa Edda.

Check in was seamless and Rosella [the caretaker] was friendly and helpful.

Luca has been so wonderfully helpful to us. We had Covid interrupt our travel plans in 2020 and again in 2021 and Luca gave us a credit voucher and then assisted us with organising our property in Positano. He went above and beyond and I will be recommending Summer In Italy to all our friends in Australia.

We couldn't get enough of the view!

June 2022 - The stairs up to this place make it worth every effort! The place is roomy and comfortable.

We couldn't get enough of the view: a wedding at the church every afternoon, a dramatic rainstorm that moved through the valley and just relaxing with yummy food on the afternoon/evening shaded balcony!

It is a short walk to a super cute market and restaurants. We highly recommend it!

All was as expected! Check in was easy!

Travel tips

  • Fornillo Beach was fabulous!
  • Not a far walk down the upper road is a "food truck" called Carmines-Italian sandwiches made to order!
  • Ferry to Amalfi, Capri and Naples are easy!
  • Do the tour under the church!

The absolute best apartment in town

September 2021 - This was our second stay at Casa Edda and it is the absolute best apartment in town.

Stunning views, close to all the best restaurants and has an awesome convenience store (Latteria Mini market) around the corner which has everything from toiletries, deli and prepared food.

Ms. Rossella [the caretaker] was an unbelievable help to us. The airline lost our luggage and she helped deal with the courier.

Will definitely stay again!

Travel tips

  • The nearby grocery store at the top of the stairs outside Casa Edda and to the right 100’ or so is awesome. The owner and her team have everything you need for your own Italian fare. We had breakfast on the outside self serve patio overlooking Positano with croissants, fruit, coffee and tea the last two days. It was nice!
  • Restaurant La Tagliata is the bomb. It’s family style with a three or four course option. They will pick you up at the top of the stairs in front of Hotel Reginella and take you home after dinner.
  • Bring your best pair of walking shoes to Positano.

Perfect place, we will stay here from now on!

July 2020 - This is our second trip to Positano and we knew what area we wanted to stay in as we consider the view of the village optimal from the right hand side.

We were so lucky to find Casa Edda, which is as good as it gets in Positano without breaking the bank. The balcony is huge, the rooms great and kitchen well equipped. There are hundreds of steps down to the beach, but that was great as we wanted to have the view.

Our host was perfect and check-in and check-out were without any hassle.

This is the perfect place and we will stay here from now on!

Luca (Summer In Italy company) was incredibly helpful in making the booking, highly recommended! Fantastic. Luca is the best!

Travel tips

  • Grocery Latteria very close by.
  • Fishmonger by the end of the stairs to the beach.
  • Avoid the main beach (Spiaggia Grande) if you want to rent chairs and umbrella (90 euro for family with two small kids), Fornillo Beach is better.
  • Spent most beach days at Da Adolfo which comes highly recommended!

Mid level on mountain, so not too low nor too high

October 2019 - This was ideal. Mid level on mountain, so not too low nor too high, so those famous Positano steps are manageable. There are even several cafes and bars 5 minutes away as well as a small grocery. Was traveling with an elderly person and it was manageable even for them.

The two bedroom set up with the day bed fold out couch was terrific... And of course the view is a dream!

The host is very kind and always smiling when I might see her wondering about the town.

Highly recommended

August 2019 - If you want an apartment with an amazing view of Positano then I highly recommend this place.

It's in a great location and easy to find your way to all the interesting places around. There is also a WONDERFUL little deli and food market up on the main road (just 39 steps up from the apartment) by the name of "Latteria" which has EVERYTHING you would need, and I HIGHLY recommend that you go and check it out.

The host was very kind to provide 3 big bottles of water in the fridge which I thought was a very kind gesture. Furthermore, if you messaged, they were quick to respond and really wanted to make my stay relaxing and enjoyable.

Travel tips

  • There are a number of restaurants and shops in walking distance at the top of the main road. Some that I remember are: Caffe Positano, Da Vincenzo, Bruno's Restaurant and of course the deli & food market shop I mentioned Latteria.
  • My tip to guests and travellers - I hope you are fit as the stairs to the apartment from the beach are exhausting, however, the apartment and the VIEW are simply AMAZING and worth it. Finally, make sure you always stay hydrated by carrying some water with you.

We definitely enjoyed the location of this home

July 2019 - We definitely enjoyed the location of this home. Although there are hundreds of steps up from the beach, relatively speaking that is a “easy” walk.

The space was as we expected. It is a beach side location.

We picked Casa Edda because of the location and price. We wanted to be able to walk to the beach side at a good cost.

Travel tips

  • We loved Caffè Positano - right up the steps from the house.
  • Definitely follow the directions about getting dropped off at the meeting point... It is much easier than the alternative - dropping down at the beach and having to walk all the way up!

Enjoyed it very much

July 2019 - We enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent and the view from the terrace is breathtaking!

There is a small grocery store about 3 min walk from the place, that was a plus for us. Having a washer was also a plus for us since we travel light.

Travel tips

  • There are many restaurants within walking distance to choose from. We liked Cafe Positano.
  • There is grocery store a short walk from the apartment.
  • A trip to Capri is a most.
  • We rented a car and drove the Amalfi Coast from Positano to Salerno. It took a full day but it was amazing. Make sure to stop at Amalfi, Ravello and Atrani.
  • Visit Sorrento if you have a chance.
  • We enjoyed some beach at Spiaggia Grande (take the scalinatella [the characteristic stairway] down to the beach). We recommend renting chairs at the front.

Perfect place to enjoy the beauty of Positano

May 2019 - Perfect place to enjoy the beauty of Positano. Casa Edda is perfectly positioned in the center of Positano.

The apartment is larger than the pictures indicate and fully equipped for anything you will need to do on your trip.

Unbelievable view from the balcony and a great place to relax and take it all in.

Great service from Summer In Italy!

  • Up the stairs and to the right, food store/deli called Latteria has everything you could ever want! Really nice people and great selection of meats, cheese, prepared foods, toiletries, water etc. It's a small store that is very busy but absolutely worth the wait.

Immersed in Positano like a local

May 2019 - Casa Edda allowed us to be immersed in Positano like a local. We enjoyed the antique furniture and the comfy bed. The washing machine was very practical.

The view from the terrace was magical and we watched the sunset, even in the rain it was sheltered and beautiful.

Our hostess was warm, friendly and helpful.

I really liked the extra information provided by Summer In Italy. The details of arrival guidance was very helpful.

Travel tips

  • The nearby supermarket had great food and we ate at home a couple of times.
  • The narrow steps to the door would be challenging for any person with mobility issues.
  • Use the internal bus to bring your luggage into town. It’s cheap, easy and the drivers very helpful.

The view from the terrace is simply magnificent

April 2019 - I enjoyed Casa Edda very much. The view from the terrace is simply magnificent - watching the lights come on in the town as darkness falls is wonderful.

The home's furnishings are very basic, so one should not expect luxury here. It is very clean though, and the bed is reasonably comfortable. The kitchen is very small, but adequate enough for preparing simple meals.

There is a nice market just down the road, and many restaurants within easy walking distance.

This was my second time renting through your company. You provide a great service and I love the Amalfi Coast, so I'm sure I'll be contacting you yet again in the future.

The staff is very helpful and have great communication when making arrangements for stay and other items.

You were all wonderful! I booked with you because of the view and the beautiful apartment. Thank you for making it a dream vacation.

Casa Edda was amazing!

November 2018 - Casa Edda was amazing! Very quiet, only approximately 36 stairway steps from the main street. For Positano, this was minimal steps! If you don’t like steps, don’t come to Positano!

This location is beautiful and very comfortable. Not too far from Restaurant Il Fornillo, a little grocery shop down the street, convenience type market across the street, gelato and sandwich shop close too. It’s about a 10 min walk down the main road to get to “downtown” and much farther from the SITA bus stop if you plan to utilize buses to get you to and from Positano.

Rossella [the caretaker] made our stay so lovely.

Travel tips

  • The best way to arrive here is by private transfer. Schedule it in advance. We failed to secure private transportation for departure. Last minute taxis were very expensive, so we decided to take the bus.
  • The SITA bus stop was one and a half miles and much of it up hill. We were rolling our suitcases and got quite the work out before departure. [Future guests: if you ever wondered whether there is an alternative at rolling your suitcases uphill to the closest SITA bus stop, the answer is a definite yes. You can get there using the local bus, whose stop is only few meters away! :) ]

You are wonderful! Thank you for helping me with my item that I forgot.

Fabulous apartment in Positano with an incredible view!!

September 2018 - Fabulous apartment in Positano with an incredible view!! We absolutely loved it. We used the A/C in the bedroom at night - it was very efficient and welcome. The washing machine was easy to use, and did a fine job. Had we wanted to cook, we could have with the well-equipped kitchen. The bed was comfortable, with good pillows. The terrace was amazing! Coffee before sunrise over the mountains, and glass of wine and/or limoncello in the evening were perfect.

Rosella [the caretaker] communicated with our driver from Naples and met us at the designated spot; then showed us around the apartment.

Summer In Italy was excellent - the guide you sent us in advance described everything we needed to know. Quick response times, nice web site which accurately depicted the apartment.

Travel tips

  • Restaurant La Pergola had excellent pasta with lobster and sea bream on the beach.
  • We used Raffaele's Sorrento Car Transfer to/from Naples with comfortable A/C cars and safe drivers each way. Raffaele himself took us back to Naples with a stop at The Excavations of Pompeii, and arranged for Alessandra to be our guide there. He also stopped at a local winery for tasting and lunch. Professional service.
  • We used Plaghia Charter for a private boat to Capri, 7 hours with Saverio, our captain. It was the highlight of our three weeks in Europe. Stops for swimming, prosecco, and very interesting discussions with Saverio were memorable.

Absolutely loved staying at Casa Edda!

May 2018 - My husband and I absolutely loved staying at Casa Edda! It is so authentic, the view itself can not be beat and it was a dream!! We enjoyed the location and spent so much time on the terrace.

Just from my photos and videos I have had a number of friends asking where I was staying and I have highly recommended Casa Edda to them! We couldn't have asked for a better place and it was by far the best place we stayed during our trip to several cities in Italy.

The caretaker Rosella, was great too. She gave us quite a few recommendations, she met us to hand off the key and showed us how to operate some of the things in the house and it was so easy to checkout. The place is stunning and we would stay there again in a heart beat!!

LOVED Summer In Italy. They were extremely responsive, offered a ton of helpful information, went out of the way to explain the process, gave specific directions and I highly recommend booking with them!

Luca and Summer in Italy were great to deal with and the local host Ms Rossella was so lovely!

Travel tips

  • When you stay go to the grocery store just down the road she will tell you about - they have all homemade lasagne, meatballs, grilled vegetables, arancini etc that you can buy takeaway and bring back to the apartment and heat up in the microwave to eat dinner n the balcony drinking local wine (also bought at that supermarket) for a third of the cost of eating a restaurant, and we had better views!

Highly recommended

November 2017 - I stayed for one month in Casa Edda. It is simply furnished, very clean and very spacious. I have stayed at other apartments in Europe and was genuinely surprised at the size of the rooms. Also of note is very strong water pressure as well as excellent hot water.

The highlight of Casa Edda is the beautiful view from the terrace. An additional plus is that Casa Edda is only 38 or so steps down from the street.

Getting around Positano is fairly easy from Casa Edda. Either by walking down the road or going down the stairs to the beach area. There is also a local bus stop at the top of the stairs.

If I return to Positano I would certainly stay at Casa Edda again and highly recommend it.

Everything worked out perfectly for us

July 2017 - We enjoyed our stay at Casa Edda very much. It seemed traditional/basic at first sight but it really had everything we needed. The view of the town and the sea was simply fabulous.

Everything worked out perfectly for us - thank you!

The service we received from Summer In Italy was above average. They answered all questions, even the silliest, promptly and politely and reminded me all the upcoming events in relation to the booking and vacation. Enjoyed the newsletters I received after the booking, too.

Travel tips

  • Take a water taxi to one of the nearby beaches (e.g. to Laurito Beach) to get away from the crowd and enjoy the magnificent view of the rocks along the coast.
  • It was very handy to have the little grocery store just around the corner.
  • There are lots of steps to climb from Spiaggia Grande/Fornillo Beach to the house, but they kept us fit.

It was perfect for us, in every way

May 2017 - Me and my husband loved Casa Edda! It was perfect for us in every way and the location was perfect! I absolutely loved the Italian charm of the apartment. It gave me a comfortable familiarity of my childhood going to my grandmothers home. The view of the sea and the church and town just outside and below us on the balcony was stunning! There is so much within walking distance, many restaurants, shops and a little grocery store within steps. We loved walking the road down to the beach where we could shop along the way or stop and have a drink or a bite to eat.

Ms. Rossella [the caretaker] met us when we arrived and couldn't have been more helpful.

Summer In Italy was so easy to work with and we will definitely use them again for our future trips to Italy. Thank you for making our dream trip a reality which was perfect from the planning stages through to the end of trip, we have memories which will last a lifetime.

I have already highly recommended them to friends and family planning trips to Italy! They sent us detailed information on the apartment and the area as well as helpful tips in general which was really helpful as this was our first trip to Italy. They were so great about returning emails, phone calls and answering questions and offering recommendations. We will definitely use them again!

Travel tips

  • Our day trip to Capri was just magical! We used Lucibello Boats for the trip and they were wonderful! Our Captain was Giovanni who made the trip so special. He played beautiful music and treated us to prosecco and limoncello while he cruised all along the Isle of Capri and even stopped on our way back so we could swim in the sea!! Just AMAZING!!
  • Restaurant Da Vincenzo is just at the top of the stairs and is delicious and the service is on point!
  • We also had lunch on our last day at Restaurant Tre Sorelle on the beach with family we met there and it was absolutely delicious (try the grilled buffalo mozzarella wrapped in lemon leaves and best pizza on the Amalfi Coast...yum!!) and the service was beyond wonderful!

We loved it!

July 2016 - We loved Casa Edda! It was in the perfect location, only 30 steps down from the main road. There are quite a few stairs down to the town but no where near as many as some places. Casa Edda is in a very manageable location but still high enough to have a great view over Positano. The furnishings may not be to everyone's taste but we loved it, very traditional, beautiful older furniture. The bedroom was very big and the lounge room/kitchen was plenty big enough for 2 people. We didn't spend too much time in here though as were out on the balcony enjoying the view. It is worth staying here just for that. The kitchen was quite basic but did have everything that you need.

We arrived before check-in time, Rosella [the caretaker] met us and let us leave our bags in the apartment so we didn't have to drag them around with us. She was really lovely and readily available if we needed her. A great host!

I chose to book with Summer In Italy as you had a good selection of properties and we always prefer to stay in apartments rather than hotels. Your customer service was great. I will definitely be recommending you to others and hopefully will use you again when we next come to Italy.

Travel tips

  • If you don't want to walk down to town for food there are Caffe Positano and Da Vincenzo up the steps on the main road, both have amazing views.
  • Walking by main road back up to the apartment is not that steep if you don't feel like taking the stairs.
  • Get the free boat from the port to Da Ferdinando (or any other beach bar) to Fornillo beach. Beds and loungers much cheaper than the main beach plus it is a bit quieter.
  • A bit expensive but I would recommend getting a taxi to Positano, it is not the place to be carrying your luggage around. You will get your holiday off to a much better start.

Everything you need is there

June 2016 - We enjoyed Casa Edda very much. Beautiful view and excellent location.

Everything you'll need is there.

We stayed two people there so there was plenty of space.

Every time we go to Italy... and that seams to be every year now... we book with Summer In Italy. It's very easy to deal with you and you have many beautiful apartments to choose from.

Me and my wife are very happy to have found you on the web... keep going on please.

Travel tips

  • It is the perfect spot for restaurants, up the road or down to the beach. Eat at Restaurant Le Tre Sorelle and Restaurant da Bruno.
  • Food store just up around the corner. Buy local wine and cheese.
  • Take a walk up in the mountains.

October 2013 - Casa Edda's location is fantastic. We learnt to walk down the stairs to the township and it's an easy walk back around the road.

The view is sensational. The furniture is homely, however the pillows could do with upgrading. The shower screen would be hard to negotiate with people of above average size or elderly. A few wine glasses would be appreciated by most guests and perhaps matches to light the stove rather than the lighter for safety reasons. We loved the place and our host was welcoming on arrival.

Absolutely loved the efficiency with which Summer In Italy found Casa Edda for us. The information sent to us was very detailed. I will certainly look at Summer In Italy again for future visits.

Travel tips

  • There are plenty of restaurants nearby along the road to the west of the villa that have sensational ocean and township views and very obliging waiters and and good food at reasonable prices.
  • The little store a few meters down the road was well stocked and had helpful workers.
  • The bus trip along the coast is great but I would suggest anyone who gets motion sickness to take medication first.
  • All towns along the coast are worth a visit as are the Isle of Capri and Pompeii.
  • For those who like swimming, walk down to jetty and along the coastal walk to the little beach further north of the town.
  • There are two main bus routes... The inner town route and the bus trip that drives between the towns. Once you know drop off points they are easy to use but can get crowded. Don't forget to ring the bell to stop at your bus stop or you'll find the bus driver will keep going.

I would recommend you to everyone and already have. You made it so easy. Thanks for all your guidance

Travel tips

  • The coffee pot leaked. Only major issue, which is not even an issue.
  • I would have shuttles pick you up for two of the greatest restaurants, La Tagliata and Il Ritrovo. If you call they will pick you up right up the stairs. We told them to pick us up at Hotel Regina since it is right at the top of stairs.
  • There is a great grocer about 50 feet to the right on the top of the stairs. They have fresh croissants in the morning. I think the locals saw me in my PJ's more than once going for croissants.
  • We also laid on the beach. Not the main beach but headed to the port and then up the stairs to the right to Fernando's. 8 euro a day gets you a beach chair/towel/and the most fantastic beach ever. The food and drinks were very inexpensive and it was a wonderful experience.

September 2013 - The location was perfect with easy access to a market, restaurants, transportation and the town itself.

English is spoken everywhere so communicating was not a problem.

I would absolutely return to Casa Edda.

All questions were answered promptly and everything went smoothly every step of the way. Thanks for a great experience.

Travel tips

  • For great pizza, go up the steps to the street, turn left and walk past the restaurants that are split by the street. Continue walking about 100 meters to "Il Capitano" hotel and restaurant on the left side of the street. Beautiful views along with reasonable prices.

May 2013 - The owner was very nice and helpful but the accommodations were very poor. It was like an 85 year old couple, who had lived there since they were married, moved out for a few days so we could move in. It's very old and needs to be updated, especially the bathroom, furniture and decorations.

Travel tips

  • It is a strenuous walk from the beach to Casa Edda.
  • There are some good restaurants at the top of the staircase.

April 2013 - Firstly, working with Summer in Italy was so easy. Casa Edda is great for 2-4 people. Bed and pull out bed were comfortable. Kitchen was small but sufficient. Bathroom was fine except shower water pressure. It was clean when we arrived. View and location was excellent.

From start to finish my experience was great.

I thank you for all your assistance it was great working with you all! I booked with you because you were so easy to work with. You always responded in a timely manner to all my questions. Thank You

Travel tips

  • If you take villa stairs down it will take you to beach. Just keep going left. Or, you can walk down the road to get through center of town.
  • If you take the road, there is a great breakfast and lunch stop with wifi called Casa e Bottega. Also, nice hand crafted pottery. Excellent food and people are great.
  • There is also a small store on you way to town for incidentals. It's not very far from villa at all.
  • I also did a tour of Positano with Christine, I believe the website is discoverpositano.it. She really gives you excellent advice to really enjoy your stay in Positano.
  • Casa Edda is across the street from Hotel Reginella so it was always easy for restaurants to pick you up. There was never a fee but I always tipped the driver a couple of euros. Definitely take advantage of this service.
  • There are great restaurants up the mountain.

October 2012 - Once again, "Summer In Italy" was very accommodating and excellent to work with. As for Casa Edda, all I can say is that it was "perfect" for us.

Casa Edda was very clean and the view from the balcony was breathtaking!!

Positano for us was a dream come true the first time we were there and we enjoyed it this time as well. The people of Positano are friendly and warm.

We will be returning again in the future and will definitely be working with "Summer In Italy".

Travel tips

  • Definitely take a trip to Capri by speed boat.
  • You can use a car service to schedule a day trip to Ravello, Sorrento and Amalfi City.
  • We shopped at the local stores when we cooked at the villa.

September 2012 - The view made me gasp with delight. It's half way up the mountain, so you can get to the beach in about 5 minutes, if you want or go for a good hike up the road. There is a little store about 30 metres down the road, for all the wine cheese and fresh fruit you want. Restaurants are all over but I liked the third one up the hill, it has an even better view. We wondered why this place was so cheap, it's just a little older, for us that just added to the charm.

Thank you, keep up the good work.

Travel tips

  • If you get there too early, walk to the bottom of the hill - where the traffic and tourists part ways for a slow coffee and lunch.
  • Listen carefully to the recycling rules, common to Italy but a little complicated for me.

September 2012 - Casa Edda is a typical apartment in the Positano area... the view from the balcony is definitely spectacular. You can see the sea, the cathedral, the beach, mountains, and most of Positano. You would pay at least 300 euro a night for this type of view.

The owner was helpful and very pleasant. We had plenty of towels and sheets for the 2 1/2 weeks spent there.

Summer In Italy knows exactly what they are doing. This is a first class operation and would definitely use them again on my next trip to Italy.

Travel tips

  • 36 steps down a narrow stairway so pack light.
  • The washing machine definitely came in handy.
  • The little grocery store right on Viale Pasitea has just about everything you will need.
  • The Interno Bus stop is right there to take you to the beach.
  • There are a number of good cafes and restaurants close by (up the hill).
  • One thing we enjoyed was watching all the weddings at Santa Maria Assunta, right from our balcony.

August 2012 - Casa Edda was fantastic. Great location, clean and the view is incredible. Balcony is great spot to sit and relax in between sights and beach trips.

There are quite a few steps down to main beach and back up but its all part of the fun.

Overall a great experience and would return at a moments notice.

Summer in Italy were fantastic in every regard. Not only is the information on the website thorough and accurate, their assistance by email is prompt and every detail was provided after payment received. Would definitely book with them again!

Travel tips

  • There is a direct path of steps down to main beach and centre of town right outside the door.
  • Several restaurants and a convenient little market store for day snacks and drinks etc.

Travel tips

  • The higher up you go in Positano, the better the restaurants. Restaurants are very expensive in Positano. The Cafe Positano near the apartment was good, but expensive. If you walked up the hill from the apartment, there were a number of good restaurants... the farther you walked, the better they were.
  • Enjoyed the boat tour to Capri... for a little more than the ferry, you get a more comfortable and entertaining trip. The tour boat was more than worth it... gave us great advice on what to do and what to avoid.

July 2011 - We had a wonderful two week stay in Casa Edda in June. The apartment had plenty of space for my wife, me and our two children (13 and 11 years).

Best features are the location and view. Just five minutes from the beach, in a quiet location, and a convenient distance to the main road, you can't get a better location in Positano. And the view is fantastic, looking out over the beach, church, Positano and the mountains. We never grew tired of sitting on the balcony looking out on that.

Positano is also a convenient base for touring the Amalfi Coast with good access to Capri, Pompeii, Salerno, Sorrento and all the points along the Amalfi Coast. Being able to come home to Casa Edda after a day's touring was a highlight.

Summer in Italy made the whole process painless. Being able to pay the full amount by credit card in advance was very convenient, rather than having to carry large amounts of cash which is required by some other websites. And the detailed information provided beforehand, including how to get to Positano was very helpful. You're doing a great job.

Travel tips

  • A benefit of staying in an apartment is you can choose to do your own cooking. Positano has a fish shop down near the ferry terminal, where you can buy fresh fish, octopus, squid, mussels and shrimps. Cook up a seafood feast, sit on the balcony of Casa Edda overlooking Positano, and watch the sunset.

May 2011 - Great apartment in perfect location, close enough to town but up the hill a bit enough to get a great view. great value for money compared to others looked at, (very expensive area) all amenities/appliances there as needed (although no radio and TV only Italian no international news).

Apartment felt very traditional - felt like staying over at an old auntie's apartment, very homely.

Very efficient service and great advice and information sent out prior to leaving. Thank you.

Travel tips

  • Lots of steps to and from the apartment!
  • Walk opposite direction to where the bus drop off is to catch the Sita bus to Sorrento, not too difficult a walk.
  • Church bells ring at 7 am each morning.
  • Mini market few doors down on the main road very good but a little pricey, only takes cash.
