Reviews of Villa Clessia

The views are simply outstanding!

October 2019 - The views are simply outstanding! The location, and most impressively the deck overlooking the sea, are second to none.

Far enough away from downtown to avoid the crowds but close enough to walk in 10 minutes or less.

Summer In Italy was outstanding from start to finish. Very professional and responsive.

Located right where the action began

August 2019 - Villa Clessia worked wonderfully for our family. We traveled with two children under two, so being on the main road in town for us was perfect. It let us use a stroller, which would have been nearly impossible otherwise.

The villa was located right where the action began, so we were close enough to quickly get to restaurants and shops without the noise we would of had if we'd stayed right in the center of town.

We really enjoyed this place.

The booking process was very smooth, thank you.

Charming design and architecture

July 2019 - Charming design and architecture. Works perfectly for party of 6-7. Views are stunning.

Roberto [the owner] was great help.

Summer In Italy was wonderful. Responsive to our touring request (Pompeii / Mount Vesuvius tours was wonderful). Would use again and highly recommend.

A perfect stay in Positano!

July 2019 - This property was even better than expected. The location was perfect, just a short walk to shops, restaurants, beaches.

The villa was beautiful, with large rooms, and air conditioning. The terrace was wonderful and the views amazing. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Positano.

Our home in Positano

July 2019 - Cannot rate this villa highly enough, the view was breathtaking, the villa was a home from home, it had everything you could ever need to make your holiday unforgettable. Would definitely recommend for family groups/friends

Summer in Italy were fantastic to deal with, would definitely recommend their service.

It was in the perfect location, was very spacious and had amazing views

May 2019 - We loved Villa Clessia. It was in the perfect location, was very spacious and had amazing views. I would definitely recommend.

The host was so helpful to us. When our ferry from Positano was cancelled, he got on the phone for us to arrange for a taxi service to take us to Sorrento to catch the other ferry to Capri and called the ferry office to try to refund our tickets. He really went above and beyond for us.

The location is ideal as it’s directly off a road and only a few steps to the front door

May 2019 - We were thrilled with this villa and will definitely return. There were only two couples, but the space is huge!

We literally spent 90% of our time on the terrace. The views are spectacular. The location is ideal as it’s directly off a road and only a few steps to the front door.

One thing to note is that if you’ll be using all bedrooms, you’ll have to walk through one of the middle one on the main level to get to the third if there’s bad weather, otherwise you can reach all three bedrooms (which are in a row) from the outside terrace walkway because each room has a door to the outside.

We will definitely return for another week in paradise!

We’re thankful for your help in securing the villa.

Very clean and relaxed place to stay! Highly recommended!!

May 2019 - I would definitely recommend this place. The negatives are that the showers are not enclosed, and the kitchen is not great for cooking, but the terrace, dining room, and living room are amazing!

We loved the view from the family room and the terrace. The cover over half of the terrace worked really well for us.

The location is perfect so we had a wonderful view of the sea and also a 20 minute walk to the beach. Great restaurants were close!

Very clean and relaxed place to stay! Highly recommended!!

Summer In Italy is great! So responsive and easy to work with!! No problems at all! Villas are even better than depicted on the web site!

October 2018 - Villa Clessia was great. We had six people stay comfortably. It had everything you could possibly need and the views were stunning. Each day someone in the group commented on our postcard scenery.

Summer In Italy was a huge resource when it came to booking the villas as well as providing advice on transportation and activities. We couldn't have done it without Luca.

Travel tips

I would highly recommend it

September 2018 - We just recently returned from a 5 night stay at Villa Clessia and loved it. The villa was in an excellent location. You will enter it from the street level going up approximately 12 steps which made it very easy when arriving with a lot of bags. The villa was equipped with all the conveniences of home. The view is spectacular and the many terraces offered a feeling of openness throughout the rooms. I would highly recommend it.

I would also like to comment that both Summer In Italy and the owner were a pleasure to deal with.

It was a pleasure dealing with Summer In Italy and I would highly recommend you to anyone I know who is travelling in this area.

Excellent

April 2018 - The view was spectacular, better than I imagined. The villa is very spacious. You feel like you have your own home in Positano.

I saw many references to Summer in Italy in reviews online. Everything went smoothly with the booking, Luca responded and answered all questions promptly. No complaints.

Travel tips

We loved it

July 2017 - We loved it. The view from the terrace is to die for. The three bedrooms on the main floor are great with wonderful views with outside terrace access. The single bedroom on the floor above is dark with no view. Relatively easy walk to the water.

We booked with Summer In Italy as it has a well earned reputation for listing great residences on the Amalfi Coast. The staff was very responsive and prompt in addressing all our concerns. We certainly plan to rent through Summer In Italy again. Thank you!

Amazing!

July 2016 - The terrace and views are amazing!

Excellent

September 2014 - Villa Clessia is a beautiful place to stay in Positano.

The location is perfect, not to far to walk to the beach, ferry, or bus stop. The little market is close by, and there are several restaurants in the vicinity that are very good.

The best part of Villa Clessia however, is Roberto [the owner] and his cleaning staff. We showed up extremely early for our stay, but were immediately welcomed to the villa. Roberto explained how everything in the villa worked, made sure that we were comfortable with everything, and made sure that we had a number where we could reach him if we had any further questions or needed any further assistance.

I would not only stay at Villa Clessia again, but I would not hesitate to stay at any property managed by Roberto, or recommended by Summer in Italy in the future.

This is the second time we have booked with Summer in Italy, and we have not been disappointed with anything either time. The descriptions are accurate, the pictures are realistic, and the reviews are honest. If you are thinking of booking a villa in Italy, please consider Summer in Italy, I have found that they are honest, reliable, and they make the whole process easy to negotiate.

Thank you Roberto and Summer in Italy for a most enjoyable vacation in Positano.

June 2014 - Amazing home and fantastic location. Excellent and very spacious for a group.

May 2014 - Villa Clessia is in a great location with lots of restaurants and also a supermarket close by.

The villa is as described in the photos. It has two large living areas and three large bedrooms (two exceptionally so - the third is not as large but does have its own bathroom). The fourth bedroom is basically a single but has its own ensuite).

The villa has two dining tables and chairs on the balcony as well as sun lounges so is a great area to enjoy the views.

It was an easy walk down the steps to the beach areas and we wandered back by the road (this is easier than the steps).

The balcony is fantastic and views are simply stunning.

We were a party of six and had a fabulous time.

Summer In Italy was very good. Received telephone call immediately upon initial booking and all our questions after that were answered promptly.

Would have no hesitation in using Summer In Italy again.

May 2014 - My family of seven enjoyed our stay at the Villa Clessia very much. The terrace and main rooms were comfortable, roomy and bright, and the view of the town and sea was fantastic.

The owner was reliable and helpful when needed.

Summer In Italy had the best site for filtering the required features of available homes, while also comparing prices and getting first hand information about the properties from past guests. The staff was also very prompt and helpful. Thank you!

November 2013 - We loved our stay at Villa Clessia! Six of us were very comfortable and you cannot beat the view!

September 2012 - My family had a fantastic time at Villa Clessia. The view is amazing. The large terrace is wonderful for having our meals at night.

The living room is good for relaxing at night.

Roberto [the owner] was very helpful and spent the time with us to explain how everything works.

Would highly recommend Villa Clessia to my friends in Australia.

Very impressed with the assistance received from Summer in Italy. The various people I spoke to all speak good English.

September 2012 - Villa Clessia was incredible. It was exactly as shown in the photos, with the terrace and views being beyond expectation.

The location, right on the street made it, easy to access without having to climb many stairs with luggage.

Roberto was a wonderful landlord, meeting us upon arrival and showing us all the features of the villa.

Morning coffee and evening cocktails were enjoyed on the terrace with the most incredible sunrises and sunsets. The villa had more than enough linens and towels for all seven of us.

Having rented private accommodations in Nice France, and various areas of the USA, I would highly recommend Villa Clessia to anyone, and hope to someday return there.

Summer in Italy was so wonderful to deal with. My emails were answered very quickly. The contract and payment process was so easy, and I always felt that it was a secure and reputable company. I would recommend Summer in Italy to anyone looking for accommodations in Italy. Luca and his staff are great!!!

Mr. Roberto [the owner] was gracious and kind.

October 2011 - We enjoyed our stay at the Villa Clessia very much. The view is breathtaking. The terrace was great we spent many evenings and dinner enjoying the view.

Mr. Roberto [the owner] was very nice and met us right on time to get the keys. The location is great just a short walk into the heart of Positano.

We would definitely rent this villa again and hope to someday!

Thanks for your help, we had an amazing trip!!

July 2011 - We absolutely loved Villa Clessia! The views are stunning, the house is well equipped and Positano is absolutely gorgeous.

We will definitely be back (for longer next time!)

Summer in Italy was great. It was no trouble for us to pay separately and the information provided was very thorough.

July 2011 - OMG what a wonderful place and the owner was just the best. The villa was immaculate and the location was wonderful.

October 2010 - Villa Clessia had an excellent location in Positano with a superb view of the water, the town below, and the other buildings and villas above and below the villa.

The great location made walking to the harbour and the restaurant and shopping areas relatively easy for us (a local bus was was always available for those who needed it). The harbour had access to boats going to Amalfi, Sorrento, and Capri.

The villa had a superb terrace and spacious rooms throughout. However the furnishings were tired and dated, the kitchen was cramped, and the bathrooms needed to be updated.

The owner/manager was helpful.

I think Luca and your staff have done an excellent job for us throughout the booking process. We could not be more pleased about the villa and your efforts on our behalf.

Our experience at Villa Clessia was wonderful, and we will consider a return stay in the future.

Thanks for all you have done.

September 2010 - We stayed here in September 2010 with three couples. Each couple was able to have they're own room - all of which were very spacious.

The terrace has one of the most amazing views of the sea - we spent every night out here!

The villa is huge - the only part that is small is the kitchen, but it is certainly adequate. The showers are not the best but are certainly adequate.

The location is great - about a 10 minute walk to the centre of town and the beach. Above the villa (3 minute walk) were some of the best restaurants we visited in all of Italy.

We would happily return to Villa Clessia as it has an incredible view, was safe and secure, and had three perfect sized bedrooms - all of which have doors with views of the sea - a great thing to wake up to!

September 2010 - The villa is huge and well located and the parking space is appreciated. The view is great.

Villa Clessia is air conditioned only in the living room.

The kitchen is small and could be more equipped. A new toaster for instance. A toilet seat also in the blue bathroom.

We recommend Villa Clessia (if you are not looking for an air conditioned place) for the location, the terrace and the view.

July 2010 - The view and location were outstanding. We parked our car in our own parking spot behind the gate and was also a wonderful perk. Our car was easily available for day trips and easy to park when we returned.

We lived on the back deck which was a generous size and partially shaded with a breathtaking view. All meals were eaten outdoors. There were doors from the living room to the back deck that opened the entire wall to the outdoors.

The location is ideal. The is a small grocery shop a few doors down, not too bad a walk to the center of town on the road or faster on the stairs if your knees are in good shape.

There were little ants that were a challenge. Having bug spray available may help.

The 3 bedrooms on the main floor were very nice with doors that open to the view and a side balcony. One was set up as a triple and fit my daughters well. The upstairs bedroom is small and stuffy, would work best for an older child that wanted to be separate.

The owner was very pleasant and left lots of towels and extra bedding if needed during the week.

The living room was a nice size to fit everyone and there was a large indoor dining-room table which we never used because we ate outside. The house would benefit from a furniture upgrade in the living room.

The villa is large and enchanting, my husband wanted to buy it and move there.

May 2010 - You cannot beat the view or the location at Villa Clessia. Amazing! We spent most of our time on the deck.

It is within a 2 minute walk without steps to several good restaurants and only a 10-15 minute walk to the center of town.

Although we didn't cook, kitchen seemed well supplied with dishes, pots and pans etc.

Our only complaint was no water pressure and hot water for the showers and a missing toilet seat.

We loved our stay in Positano!!

April 2010 - It is a beautiful villa with spectacular views and in a good location.

Note that the third main bedroom has no access to the interior of the villa - you have to go through another bedroom or go outside onto the balcony. Also, although the bathrooms were adequate the showers were not. They hardly worked at all and when they did if someone elsewhere in the villa turned on a tap or flushed a toilet all the water from the shower disappeared. The showers need attention.
