Reviews of Villa Batticuore

Fantastic

April 2024 - We very much enjoyed Villa Batticuore. The view from the terrace is beautiful and the property is located near some fine restaurants that we visited for dinner and breakfast.

The washing machine was convenient, much needed and perfect timing for our trip. The shower was nice, strong and hot.

I was referred to Summer in Italy from a family member and it was a great decision. It was easy to work with Luca and staff to identify properties available during my timeframe and answer questions about logistics and my travel plans. I will use Summer in Italy again for any future travel plans in Italy.

Conveniently located with a fantastic view from the terrace

October 2023 - My wife and myself thoroughly enjoyed our six nights at Villa Batticuore. Conveniently located near restaurants and shops. Another bonus of its location is that the entrance is directly off the road. Fantastic view from the terrace. The kitchen is a little small but we weren’t cooking a feast. Communication was easy and helpful. Highly recommended.

“Summer In Italy” was a pleasure to deal with during the process. Especially when you consider that we originally booked for 2020 and then again in 2021, only to have to reschedule again due to the pandemic. You were all very helpful in making our month long vacation a success.

Loved the view and location of the house

September 2023 - So many good restaurants to choose from just minutes from the house. We were able to walk down the road about 10-15 minutes and had access to all sorts of shopping.

We enjoyed drinking coffee on the terrace every morning and just enjoying the view through out the day.

Excellent location and incredible views

September 2023 - We had a great stay at Villa Batticuore. The location was excellent and the views from the terrace were incredible. Bathrooms are slightly dated, but it is to be expected when staying in a holiday home versus a hotel.

Excellent

September 2023 - Enzo [the property manager] was very helpful and prompt in his communications.

The location is a little far from the Spiaggia Grande, but there are plenty of great restaurants nearby. The view is also hard to beat.

April 2023 - We enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect! It is located right on the road and near a bus stop. The view from the terrace is spectacular! The furniture is a bit tired looking and there is some clutter about the apartment. But overall we had a great stay!

Enzo [the property manager] could not have been more helpful.

Summer In Italy was amazing to work with. Excellent communication! We would definitely use this company again.

Absolutely charming

September 2022 - This place is absolutely charming. It is close to everything you would want to do in Positano.

Restaurant Mediterraneo is just up the street. And other restaurants are within a very short walking distance. Shopping and access to the beach is also close.

The house is well equipped for cooking. It is so comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony, reading and watching the boats on the water. We will stay here again when we come back to Positano.

Thank you for your hospitality. We loved staying at your place. The location was perfect. Your place was charming. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony, reading and overlooking the water.

Spacious villa with amazing views

September 2022 - It was a beautiful stay. The view from the balcony was amazing and the villa was spacious.

Enzo [the property manager] was an absolute legend. He helped us in any way he could. He made the stay so easy and comfortable. I would highly recommend this place because of him.

Location is ideal and very convenient

September 2022 - We loved our stay at Villa Batticuore. The location is ideal and very convenient. We had spent 2 weeks in Italy in different hotels and it was so nice to have a place to ourselves where we could stretch our a little more with more room. All of the amenities you need are provided. It was the perfect ending to our visit of Italy.

Would definitely stay here again!

Travel tips

Excellent

June 2022 - We had a 90 minute car ride and when we arrived at the apartment Enzo came from the Mediterraneo restaurant across the street with two glasses of champagne! We loved his house and his hospitality.

We had diner at the Mediterraneo restaurant the second night and it was amazing!! I had my Golden State Warriors final shirt on and our waiter had a Seth Curry bracelet on.

The house is amazing felt like home and the view was spectacular!

Did not want to leave

June 2022 - We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Batticuore and did not want to leave. The view is unbelievable from the balcony - it was a delight to have breakfast outside each morning and wine in the evening before dinner.

The apartment is perfectly located away from the bustling main front by the harbor but very close to the best restaurants in Positano.

Loved the quirky décor and the bed was very comfortable. We will definitely be back!

The whole process was flawless - I felt more secure with Summer In Italy than other companies I have used in the past including Airbnb. The website was easy to use and all of the reviews seemed very positive. I enjoyed reading the letter you sent to us and thought it provided plenty of information for arrival as well as tips for during our stay. Thank you so much for providing us with a holiday we will never forget.

Travel tips

Perfect for our stay, we will definitely be back!

April 2022 - This villa was perfect for our stay in Positano - we will definitely be back! The villa is lovely - the interiors are great, and so cosy, we loved it! There is a large dining area, a small kitchen, an entrance hall, and a bedroom (with a sofa area) and en-suite. Every room had anything you might need in for your stay - they provided toilet roll/kitchen essentials/bottles of water etc... There was also a generously sized balcony, with an amazing view over the coast.

The location of the villa is perfect - about a 10 minute walk to the centre. You can either walk along the road (slightly longer but easier on your knees) or down the steps (opposite Café Positano) directly to the centre. It is near to the main bus stop, which we used to travel in to from Sorrento. There is a food shop about a 5-10 minute walk away called Latteria Mini Market Positano.

I would definitely recommend the villa for your stay - Positano itself is beautiful (but expensive).

Enzo (the house manager) met us just up the road as he owns the nearest restaurant, and showed us everything we needed at check in.

Travel tips

Amazing stay in Positano!

October 2019 - The property is in a great location for restaurants and shops. It has great views of the sea and surrounding buildings.

The proprietors are wonderful to deal with and very kind and helpful.

Great location

October 2019 - This was a great property for a couple.

The check-in process was so easy with the managers located not too far from the apartment.

Awesome location.

Great views and great location

September 2019 - We loved our stay at Villa Batticuore. Great views and great location. Close to restaurants and an easy walk to the main shopping centre/town.

Very pleased with Summer In Italy. They responded promptly to all my emails.

Travel tips

The location is excellent

September 2019 - We loved staying in Villa Batticuore!

The location is excellent with restaurants and shops nearby. It is very easy to get down to the main beach, as well as to the smaller beach.

The best part is the view from the terrace. We loved sitting outside in the morning with coffee and having wine before dinner watching the sunset.

We would absolutely stay here again!

Travel tips

Live like a local in Positano

June 2019 - Villa Batticuore allows you to live like a local in Positano. We cooked a few meals (breakfast and dinner) in the tiny kitchen and did our laundry.

There are so many items left in the apartment, including beach towels, grocery basket, cooking oils, candles, sunscreen, etc., likely from past guests, that you really don’t need to worry about a thing.

We had a few issues with the Wi-Fi box but the property manager was always around to help.

Summer In Italy’s service is great, especially for first-timers in Italy.

Travel tips

What a view! Not that there is a bad one in Positano.

June 2019 - The location was wonderful being near the top of all the activity and the fact that entrance to the apartment was on the street, we didn't have to walk up or down any stairs to get in. For the two of us the apartment was comfortable and spacious. The most important thing is the balcony and it was large with plenty of furniture and the view was beautiful. A suggestion would be for a little less furniture and more comfortable furniture on the balcony. We would stay here again.

Amazing vacation home with stunning views

June 2019 - An amazing vacation home with stunning views of the coastline from the terrace. The property is located right at the street level so only a few stairs to climb with luggage and is also very convenient in terms of access to restaurants.

The caretaker, Mr Enzo greeted us with Prosecco in hand and made us feel right at home. He owns the Restaurant Mediterraneo just steps away from the house and all the staff made us feel extremely welcome and treated us just like their own family. They played with our 11 month old son while we had dinner, offered us great local advice and just made the experience so lovely.

We definitely can’t wait to come back and spend time here again!

Great service and timely follow up for questions. Really good communication regarding the property, check-in process, directions, etc. Would definitely use Summer In Italy again for booking.

Feels like home.

April 2019 - Amazing view. The place is very cozy, feels like home.

Around 15 minutes by walk from the main beach.

Totally worth it.

Excellent view

April 2019 - The view is excellent!! Close to a lot of different restaurants

Just what we had hoped for!

October 2018 - We loved Villa Batticuore! The view was spectacular! The location was perfect! Just what we had hoped for!

Thank you for having everything we needed!

You made the booking very easy and smooth. All the detailed information we needed you provided.

Travel tips

Villa Batticuore is in a terrific location

October 2018 - Villa Batticuore is in a terrific location. There is a great view off the terrace and it is in walking distance to the town center, to restaurants and grocery store. We enjoyed a mix of meals out and meals at home.

We used Summer In Italy on a recommendation from friends. They are so organized, stayed in touch, were timely to provide paperwork and provided a lot of useful information about our rental accommodation. They are a pleasant, friendly, professional organization and we would recommend Summer In Italy to our friends.

Travel tips

The house has a quirky charm, but is spacious, comfortable, and the view from the terrace is stunning

September 2018 - We stayed at Villa Batticuore in early September and loved it. The house has a quirky charm, but is spacious, comfortable, and the view from the terrace is stunning. The kitchen is quite small, but we weren't planning on cooking anyway. I don't know if we will be able to make it back to Positano, but if we do Villa Batticuore will be our first choice of where to stay.

It is located just outside (5-10 minute walk) the lower part of the center of Positano with its shops and restaurants, so you have easy access, but can just as easily escape the crowds for a glass of wine on the terrace... (we did that a lot). There are three restaurants, a friendly bakery, a cafe that serves breakfast and lunch, and a small convenience store all within about 100 yards of the house. Perhaps most important, unlike most places in Positano, the front door opens directly on the street, so you do not have to deal with any of Positano's famous steps just to come and go.

When we arrived, we were greeted by the caretaker's son-in-law, Rodrigo, with a glass of prosecco.

Summer In Italy could not have been more helpful or responsive during the entire process.

Travel tips

Perfect for us

June 2018 - Villa Batticuore was perfect for us. Access door right on Viale Pasitea (no additional steps). It was quiet but an excellent location; an easy (and very beautiful) walk from the pedestrian area. The rooms were more than fine, maybe a bit quirky on decorating, but that was no bother at all. Not sure what the swimmer/diving guy hanging from the ceiling, but we had a laugh about it. The terrace and view was magnificent. Bathroom was excellent, hot water was great, AC worked fine. No complaints at all. None. It was a wonderful place to stay. Felt very representative of local life, and that's what we wanted. I'm thankful that people like these open their places up for people like us.

It was easy to work with Enzo [the caretaker].

Your team at Summer In Italy were responsive and the communications you provided were very helpful. You all were excellent and I will recommend you to anyone I know who is thinking of going and staying in Italy. And if I am fortunate enough to go back, I will be using your terrific service.

Travel tips

We had a wonderful time

May 2018 - We had a wonderful time. The views are spectacular and the convenience of having the door on the road so we did not have to lug luggage was great. Easy 10 minute walk to the beach. It was also very quiet except for Saturday night when someone very drunk was yelling and banged on the door at 3 in the morning.

Summer In Italy was very professional and accommodating.

Travel tips

In the absolute perfect location

May 2018 - Villa Batticuore is in the absolute perfect location. It is right off the road but has a breathtaking view. It’s right by many shops, restaurants, and there are a few markets nearby. It was also so much bigger than I was expecting and had everything that you could possibly need. If we come back to Positano, I would absolutely stay here again.

Summer In Italy was wonderful. Extremely helpful and always quick to reply to any questions that I had. I felt very taken care of.

Well situated

May 2018 - Villa Batticuore is well situated right on the main road but still not noisy and close to lots of restaurants. The house is rather cluttered with the owners possessions, but has character. If eating out mostly it is a well situated and only a 15 minute walk to the beach and ferry landing.

Excellent company with best customer service I have come across!!!

Travel tips

Amazing!

October 2017 - Villa Batticuore is amazing! It is located in the perfect spot on the winding streets of Positano. You are just far away enough from all the busy tourists, but close enough that walking to shops, restaurants, and the beach was a breeze. The kitchen is tiny, but perfect for just two of us, we used it mostly for breakfast and some appetizers at the end of the day. We cooked one simple meal during our one week stay and it was perfect. It may not be as accommodating if you are cooking large meals. The house is clean and had everything we needed for the week. The highlight is the beautiful terrace with a breathtaking view! The pictures do not do this view justice! We also appreciated the walk-in from street level accessibility.

Our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful in providing us with maps and tips on getting around, and what we should make sure to see during our visit. It was nice having a contact person always available, which made it very convenient to ask questions or for information. It was also a nice surprise to have a glass of Prosecco on our arrival!

We never booked with Summer In Italy before this trip, but the whole process was very simple and we appreciated all the information about the rental prior to arrival, such as tips that tourists need to know, especially for anyone who might be visiting the country for the first time.

Travel tips

Everything was perfect!

September 2017 - Everything was perfect! Would definitely stay here again, the view from the balcony is truly spectacular and everything as hoped.

Summer In Italy were wonderful in setting everything up and organising for baby. Absolutely perfect - really appreciate all your help.

We cannot wait to come back

June 2017 - Villa Batticuore was outstanding - we were a family of four and had plenty of room. It was also well appointed and decorated with local charm. We spent much time on the terrace - views are stunning. We cannot wait to come back.

Enzo [the caretaker] was charming and very responsive. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful summer home.

I would absolutely book with Summer In Italy again. The team was very helpful and timely in answering all of my many questions. It made me feel so much more confident about our stay. Thank you.

The view from the terrace is amazing

May 2017 - We stayed at Villa Batticuore for a week in May. The house is in a great location since you don't have to climb stairs and the view from the terrace is amazing. The bed was comfortable but the sofa bed a little less. The kitchen is extremely small. The terrace and the view were the best things about the house.

Summer In Italy, as always, is easy and a pleasure to deal with. I would not use any other rental agency. I have booked with them for the past 7 years and will continue to do so in the future.

Travel tips

We loved Villa Batticuore!

May 2017 - We loved Villa Batticuore! Location is amazing, close to restaurants and a nice walk downtown. The terrace is simply stunning! The house was larger than I thought it would be. This place was the highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone !

Very responsive and easy to book and deal with Summer In Italy! Thank you!

We loved the view from our balcony

April 2017 - We loved the view from our balcony. The bed was very comfortable. A very lovely, clean house to stay in. We had a great overall experience.

We really appreciated the manager Mr Enzo being flexible about meeting us later after our train broke down.

We will definitely recommend Summer In Italy to our friends traveling to Italy!

Travel tips

The view is exceptional!

October 2016 - My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Villa Batticuore. The view is exceptional! The entrance to the house is at street level with only 1 step which is rare in Positano, but it's built on the side of the mountain so that the terrace has an unobstructed view of the sea and all of Positano. Also the living room and bedroom are away from the street so it's quiet, without any street noise.

Summer In Italy did a good job providing information to preparing us for our trip.

Travel tips

Very charming

October 2016 - Villa Batticuore is very charming. Everything in working order. Comfortable bed/pillows (I'm particular about pillows too). We were there in October and used the heat a little bit. The shower and bathroom very nice. It was convenient to have an extra toilet and sink too. It was good to have a washer machine for clothes. The terrace and view just spectacular.

The house is just off the street. Quiet but situated with restaurants and shops nearby and the main beach and center of town just down the street a block and then a walk down steps and you are there. The right place if you want to stay in Positano, have a wonderful view of the coast, enjoy access to the center of town/main beach/shopping/ eateries.

The caretaker Mr Enzo and his son Lorenzo were excellent and responsive and gave wonderful instructions and both spoke very good English. They offered us a glass of Champagne on arrival. They answered questions, made suggestions about the town and directions to different locations.

I learned of Summer In Italy from friends that had booked a villa. The web site was very easy to navigate and the homes/villas available were all very exceptional. Everyone at Summer In Italy team was so very responsive and helpful. They answered all my questions, sent links to assist me in finding tours, towns, transportation, parking walking directions etc. It was very nice to work with this group. I felt extremely comfortable arriving in a foreign country that everything was taken care and if I needed assistance I could reach out to them. Thank you to all at Summer In Italy!!

Travel tips

Lovely stay!

September 2016 - We had a lovely stay! We can't wait to come back!

Travel tips

Really enjoyed our stay

June 2016 - In Positano there seemed to be a trade off between a view and convenient location but Villa Batticuore was well situated and had a great view. The two main rooms were always cool irrespective of outside temperature. The living room and bedroom were both large. The main bathroom was very good the second bathroom was small but adequate. The kitchen was very small but we only realy used it to make coffee. We really enjoyed our stay.

Any problem was solved immediately by the excellent Enzo [the caretaker].

We found the service from Summer In Italy was excellent, helpful, and the people were delightful to deal with. We had many questions, one was answered within a hour. The question that took a longer time to answer required some considerable research.

Travel tips

I was blown away!

May 2016 - I was blown away by Villa Batticuore! The views are amazing and the location perfect for access to the town and beach. It had everything you needed and was very comfortable, we enjoyed a glass of wine on the terrace before heading out for diner which was very relaxing. Overall we had a wonderful time in Positano, our daughter is getting married there next year and we were able to sort a lot of things out on our trip which was great, thank you so much!

Enzo [the caretaker] was there to meet us with a glass of Prosecco which I have to say was a lovely touch.

I have to say from booking right through to trip was effortless and you where very helpful. Keep up the great work.

Travel tips

Beautiful location

May 2016 - Beautiful location. We will come back.

We'll be back!

April 2016 - Villa Batticuore is a brilliant house. Basically flat from street and inside. Amazing balcony. Near restaurants and bus stop. Easy walk to grocery. We'll be back!!!

Make sure you keep space for our return in the future!

Travel tips

Very good

September 2015 - Villa Batticuore was lovely!

Amazing customer service - thanks!

Excellent

August 2015 - What a find! Great location on the road (no steps to climb - a rarity in Positano!) lovely antique furniture, tastefully decorated and everything you could possibly need for your stay.

The view is breathtaking I nearly cried when I walked out onto the terrace. There was just the two of us and although there is a sofa bed in the lounge for the family it's perfect as a romantic retreat.

I have already recommended it to all my friends, Positano and the villa was great. I nearly didn't write this review because I wanted to keep it a secret!

Your service was great from the online chat to confirmation. I would definitely use you again. I hadn't heard of you before I searched but I would recommend you now.
