Reviews of Villa Cipriana

Excellent location, nearer to the bottom of Positano

October 2023 - We loved everything about Villa Cipriana. It's in an excellent location, nearer to the bottom of Positano, making walking very easy. It's close to all the shops, restaurants, beach and port. We really enjoyed the terrace - lots of room to sit and enjoy the scenery. The kitchen had everything that we needed and the bedrooms are quite spacious.

Angela [the owner] was very attentive and helpful with all of our questions.

All of the representatives from Summer In Italy were very responsive to all of our questions. There is a feeling of trust when dealing with Summer In Italy (unlike some other companies where there is a distinct feeling of distrust).

Great location, beautiful terrace

September 2023 - Location was great! Much fewer steps to the beach than other locations. Beautiful terrace with views of the city and ocean. Wonderful beds, well appointed kitchen.

Exceptional communication. We will recommend Summer In Italy to our friends traveling to Italy!

Amazing place!

August 2023 - Had an amazing time here. The location is absolutely perfect and easy access to everything in Positano. The place is clean and has everything you need including a terrace overlooking the beach and outdoor patio.

Thank you so much for having us, you have an amazing place.

Everyone I worked with was friendly and helpful.

Good location in the center of Positano

November 2022 - Good location in the center of Positano, near the church, 52 steps up from the pedestrian street. The house was quiet, the beds comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The terrace is very nice, with a view of the church and part of the beach, but does not have a dramatic view like places higher in town. This is the trade-off for being closer to the beach. I liked being in the center of town - close to the ferry dock, buses, restaurants, shops.

The representative is easy to contact by phone/text. Check-in and check-out went smoothly.

Summer In Italy is a very good agency for vacation rentals in Italy. They helped me choose the property and all arrangements went smoothly. Their web site is easy to use and has a lot of good travel information. I have used them before and will use them again. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous place in perfect location

July 2022 - What a gorgeous villa with breathtaking views! It is in the perfect location. It overlooks the main beach and the church. We had such a wonderful stay!

Excellent

September 2019 - We absolutely loved our 5 nights in Villa Cipriana.

The terrace is amazing to eat your meals on in the summer. We love the location and being so close to everything. It was wonderful to have air conditioning & a washing machine in the house. There were no ammenities that Villa Cipriana didn't have.

We were travelling with my boyfriend's parents that were visiting us from New Zealand. It was important to them that they didn't have to climb too many stairs and they were fine with the stairs leading to Villa Cipriana.

I thought Summer In Italy customer service was exceptional and really liked the chat function when we were looking for a property! We will definitely be back next year! :)

Thank you for making it very easy for us to book & providing such comprehensive information for our arrival.

Fantastic

June 2019 - We found Villa Cipriana to be quite wonderful.

Being Americans we are used to "big" houses so I was a little worried about how 4 of us would do in a "mere" 800 sq ft... But it was no problem at all, way more than adequate for our needs (2 adults, 2 teenage boys). The bedrooms were large, the overall upkeep and quality was excellent.

More than anything though I'd say the location is ideal. It provides a wonderful view of the sea as well as Positano itself. Some might not like the imposing dome of the adjacent cathedral but I thought it was pretty cool - gave the whole area a lot of character. It was probably not even a 2 minute walk down to the beach and restaurants etc. We did some exploring through Positano and quickly realized we could have been only slightly further away as the crow flies but it would have meant quite a hike up and down a mountain of stairs had we been somewhere else.

October 2018 - We were pleasantly surprised to find that Villa Cipriana was even better than we expected from the booking site.

We rented 3 houses/apartments while on holiday in Italy this time. They were different and all beautiful in their own way, but Villa Cipriana was the best appointed, having thought of everything needed to create wonderful meals at home. The bedrooms and bathrooms were huge and it could not have a better location in Positano.

The caretaker, Clementina, was wonderful. We only had one fault with the door during our 2 week stay and this was repaired promptly by the owner who lives nearby.

We all would highly recommend a stay here to anyone visiting Positano.

Booking through Summer In Italy was a breeze. Everything went really smoothly. Thank you, we will definitely recommend your company to friends.

May 2018 - Villa Cipriana is an excellent villa with a perfect location.

About 65 steps down to the beach. Everything is in close proximity.

On Friday and Saturday nights you may hear people shouting in early hours returning from night clubs. But this is fun. Best choice in Positano.

Excellent. Will use your services again.

July 2017 - Villa Cipriana was better than expected. We loved the terrace overlooking the sea. Also, we were there in the peak tourist season and was a quiet get away even with the location so close to the beach.

Melanie and Luca were fabulous with their help and response time to any questions we had. I highly recommend working with Summer in Italy.

September 2016 - We really enjoyed our stay and Villa Cipriana was perfect. Wonderful view and although next to the church the bells only sounded around 7 pm which was fine.

The bedrooms were of considerable size. The kitchen facilities were great and the outside terrace if you wanted to eat in although loads of lovely restaurants if you didn't.

We would most certainly stay at Villa Cipriana again.

Thank you all arrangements from the time of looking on the website with your contact asking if we needed help was superb also you contacts for taxis etc worked really well.

June 2016 - Villa Cipriana is beautifully and comfortably furnished. It's light and airy throughout the day with nice views of the sea and moorings off Positano from the terrace, living room and one bedroom. The terrace is huge with two seating areas and a ceramic topped dinning tables and chairs. It's nicely shaded overhead but there's plenty of sun for tanning.

To get to the villa you will walk down a sloping pedestrian path for about 300 meters. After a short turn to the left, you climb 50 regularly spaced steps to the terrace level. The entry is 4-5 more. The beach and dock is down those steps and about 50 more.

It's a great place and well located. Angela [the owner] and her family were very attentive. We would highly recommend it.

March 2016 - We loved our stay at Villa Cipriana!

Right from the get-go Angela [the owner] greeted us at her shop and took us up to the villa.

The house has probably the best location in town, right next to the Church that anchors the entire town. I should mention that it was me, my wife and my young children (ages 3 and 5) so we felt that was very important for the overall enjoyment of the family to be as close as possible to the center of town - and truly - the location was perfect!

The villa felt like a home, with charming furniture... it felt like we were part of the family. Not a sterile hotel.

The house was nice and big enough, two huge bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen... but we spent most of our time on the patio... eating... drinking... laughing... living... soaking up the warm air and the Positano vibe. The patio overlooks the dome of the church, and views of the beach, it was truly spectacular!

I want to say a special "Thank You" to Angela, she went way out of her way to ensure that we were happy, she made terrific recommendations (La Tagliata!) and reservations, and even arranged for a babysitter so we could have a night out on the town. All of her recommendations were "dead on"! Thanks again! Hopefully we'll be back next year!

May 2015 - My husband and I had the opportunity to stay in Villa Cipriana for a week with our daughter and son in law. The villa surpassed all our expectations, which were quite high after viewing the website photos and descriptions.

The location is in the heart of town which makes walking anywhere convenient yet it is situated so there is not much "tourist noise". Still it is close enough to the beach that we could hear the water lapping from our bedroom balcony at night.

The villa has obviously been recently renovated and everything has been tastefully done and maintains a local ambiance. Angela, the owner could not have been more helpful or pleasant. She recommended what became some of our favorite restaurants, confirmed reservations as necessary and was always available to answer questions.

We would love to go back to Villa Cipriana and stay longer next time!

I found your website quite by accident during a web search, but i am sooo glad I used it for booking our villa it Positano. Every step of the process was easy due to your user friendly website and the prompt replies to all my questions.

July 2014 - Villa Cipriana was a beautiful villa that was in a perfect location... It was quiet, with a beautiful view of the beach from our terrace, master bedroom and master bathroom.

Angela, the owner and her family were wonderful, helpful and always welcoming! Clementina who also helped us, gave us plenty of excellent recommendations for restaurants and tours to do.

We traveled with our 3 boys (ages 14, 11 and 4) and this villa was perfectly comfortable for everyone.

We will definitely be back!!

Summer In Italy was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you. We will definitely be using you again... Hope to get to Sicily in the near future!!!

June 2014 - It was everything that we expected and the photos are very accurate. Not too many steps to climb to get access. Bedrooms were particularly spacious and well furnished and the views were excellent.

The kitchen/living area is small but we did not spend much time in it as the weather was so good. Outside space was very pleasant and the furnishings were good quality.

We enjoyed staying in Villa Cipriana - very central but not noisy.

Keep doing what you do! We are planning another break in the autumn and would certainly use you again. Many thanks for everything.

May 2014 - A very convenient villa in an excellent location. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The villa could do with extra seating in lounge, only one sofa at present.

We had problems getting both televisions to work. There was also the inconvenience of water/flushing noises going on all day and night! This was reported to the owner who did respond but no solution was found at the time.

We would recommend this villa without any reservations and thank Summer in Italy for all their help.

September 2013 - Villa Cipriana was above all of our expectations. From the owner who was extremely helpful and gracious to the fantastic location and condition of the Villa, we were overwhelmed. This property has been completely renovated and the owner has done a magnificent job of capturing the spirit of Positano in the decor.

The huge balcony overlooks the beach (we could watch the kids in the water) and a beautiful outdoor ceramic dining table.

The kitchen facilities were first class and a joy to use. The master bedroom has fantastic views and a very comfortable bed. Both bathrooms were clean and practical.

I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

October 2012 - Villa Cipriana is outstanding, the owner Angela and her assistant Clementine were amazing. This is villa is located in the perfect spot... if you are going to Positano it is not quiet, it is humming and we loved it.

The villa is equipped like home there was nothing that we needed or wanted for. Very tastefully decorated with beautiful Positano crockery. Loved the airy rooms and clean fresh linen and towels.

I would give this place a 10/10. Beautiful country, beautiful people and beautiful villa.

Summer in Italy was amazing, from the very beginning of booking to the end. Luca and his staff were helpful in getting me information about trains, buses and taxi. Thank you for one of the best travel sites I know and I have travelled to many countries and yours is by far the friendliest and most efficient.

October 2009 - What a wonderful experience, quite possibly the best location in all Positano.

Walking from the bus stop to the villa is about 700 meters - fortunately it's all downhill (until you get to the villa), so consider luggage with rollers. Porters are available - contact the owner for a reference. Once you get to the villa there are 45 steps up to the entrance but the view is superb. The church is right next door and the church bell does ring at 7 am every morning.

You pay separately for electricity - our bill for the week was about Euro 20 which was deducted from our Euro 200 deposit.

If you like cooking or preparing morning coffee the kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, plates, cups, glasses etc and there are two local stores well provisioned to provide almost any food need, but food is pricey.
