Outstanding views, comfortable accommodations

May 2023 - The views of the Amalfi coast from Villa Ines are outstanding. The accommodations are comfortable and attractive.

The funicular transports you to within 30 steps of the villa, and also to the elevator that goes down to the beach.

Summer In Italy have an excellent operation and are very considerate of the client's needs. The newsletters are very informative and entertaining.

Travel tips

  • Positano and the nearby towns are very popular. When using the SITA buses, it is best to travel very early. The ferries are a better alternative when traveling between the towns.

Great value for money!

October 2019 - Great place in Positano! Sparkling clean... check in made very easy by host meeting us and explaining how to get around etc....

Was such a bonus to have access to a private beach with lift down to it. Beaches are packed in Positano / we spent the whole day with only our family on this beautiful beach. Access to Michelin restaurant was perfect too for breakfast in the mornings / reasonably priced and amazing.

Thoroughly recommend this place. We spent the 4 days exclaiming how lucky we were to find it.

Great great value for money!

Travel tips

  • The steps down to Positano were enjoyable on the way down - quite a trek on way back up - but you need to pay 25 euro for a cab if you can’t manage the walk!

Perfect with an unforgettable view

September 2019 - Villa Ines was beautiful and perfect with an unforgettable view. My wife and I were there for a few days and we throughly enjoyed the villa.

It is a 20 mins walk with a beautiful view on the way down to the center. The villa has direct access to the sea and to a beach and a restaurant that shares with the other guests staying at the complex. You can swim, eat food and drink. There is also a water taxi right by the beach that will take you to the city center harbor for 10 Euro per person. The water taxi operates if the water is not rough.

I definitely recommend this place and I will come back again and again.

Our host was waiting for us and helped us to get to the villa. He explained everything that was needed to know about the villa and the area. We just want to thank the owner for allowing us to stay in his villa and providing all the necessities to make our stay pleasant.

Summer In Italy has become my secret love. I booked because of great people I was dealing during my booking, like Luca. Keep it the same and you will do fine.

Travel tips

  • There is nearby grocery store, about 5 mins walk, where you can buy just about anything that you would need.
  • There are some great restaurants within 10 mins of beautiful walk.
  • You almost need reservations for any restaurant you want to eat. We found that out very quick on our first night.

Loved it

July 2019 - Loved it. Can't wait to come back. It was clean. Tidy.

Host was waiting to greet us with lots of good tips about out stay.

Great experience with Summer In Italy. Would definitely recommend.

Travel tips

  • Bar Internazionale is a must visit.
  • The restaurant at the beach club is amazing too. Five star so not cheap but definitely worth a visit. All staff were lovely too.

Nice little house where you can find everything for a comfortable stay in Positano

June 2019 - I was staying in Villa Ines for the second time. Nice little house where you can find everything for a comfortable stay in Positano.

The best of it - it is on territory of a complex of vacation villas with all the comforts that can give you - security, restaurants, transportation. There is a funicular and a lift to the private beach, which is very unique for Positano.

Positano is a pretty difficult town, it is on the hills and you have to walk a lot of steps up and down. Location of Villa Ines is perfect for that matter. You can get to the beaches (besides that you have a direct access to the sea and to a beach) and center of the town easier than from other places that are high on the hills (but the higher you are the better are the views).

Summer in Italy is the best of the best. I am having business with this company since 2013, they never disappointed me. Fast responses always, always there for you, you can call, you can text, you can WhatsApp or e-mail, they will respond right away and solve all problems if you have any on your trip. I am pretty difficult person in a way that I do not make plans in advance and sometimes changing my plans last moment, but it's not a problem with Summer In Italy, they will find decision right away. Want to thank Andrea, Anita and Luca for being so professional.

Enjoyed immensely

May 2019 - Enjoyed immensely. Villa Ines had everything we needed and expected.

All went very well. Good communication and all the info we needed was provided. A great experience dealing with Summer In Italy.

Travel tips

  • Shopping (groceries especially) a bit far to walk, but shuttle was perfect and solved the trips to town.
  • With no shopping, the steps are fun.

A small slice of heaven!

May 2019 - Villa Ines is a small slice of heaven! Perfect for two people, this villa has stunning views, is peaceful and is worth every step to get there.

Summer In Italy took care of all small issues that are bound to come up when you are staying in someone’s home! Many many thanks!! We would 100% stay here again.

Travel tips

  • Bring good walking shoes!
  • As two women traveling abroad, being in a complex of vacation villas was very reassuring.
  • The food trucks and kiosks made getting water and food very convenient.

The view is beyond anything we imagined

September 2018 - The view is beyond anything we imagined and the villa was perfect. Sometimes we cooked and other times we ventured down to the city center.

Summer In Italy was very responsive to all questions and was great to work with!

Travel tips

  • If you ask the near hotel for a taxi, make sure to specify a regular taxi or they will send a limo type service.

Thrilling views

July 2018 - We loved our five nights in Positano and staying in Villa Ines. The villa was very comfortable and we were thrilled to have two terraces with outstanding views of the water and the Amalfi coast. The two bedrooms were extremely comfortable.

There is an elevator to go down to the private beach. We took water taxis to/from Positano, which was more convenient than a bus and easier than walking.

Summer In Italy was terrific and helped us plan various parts of our trip before we left for Italy (including the purchase of tickets for the Elton John concert in Pompeii) and while we were there. We would definitely stay in this villa again and look forward to working with Summer In Italy as we vacation in other parts of Italy.

Travel tips

  • The location of the villa was perfect for us as we didn't need to be in the center of Positano. Know that the location means using some type of transportation to get to restaurants, the ferry etc.
  • Highly recommend some kind of water tour.
  • Used a private driver (Claudio) to drive the coast and go to Ravello and then to Naples airport. Well worth it.

A wonderful villa!

June 2018 - It was a wonderful villa! It had a funicular which meant not hauling luggage up and down hundreds of stairs! We also had access to a private beach that we could use. It was out of town enough that it was away from all the tourists, yet we could get into town without difficulty.

A very enjoyable place to stay.

Travel tips

  • To experience Positano at it's best, try to go early in the morning or later in the day when the tourists have gone.
  • Getting to Capri first thing in the morning is a must to avoid the mobs and there are lots of boat/bus tours up and down the coast.

Very good

September 2017 - We did very much enjoy our stay at Villa Ines. It was a good size for the two couples and we were able to be very self-sufficient. The view over the Mediterranean is "to-die for".

Happy with the service provided from Summer In Italy. Thank you.

Travel tips

  • It does take a few days to figure-out the bus schedule as the property is a good walk from town. Mostly we walked via the short-cut steps & bought the bus back up the hill.
  • Having the use of the private beach was a bonus & we enjoyed our daily swim very much.

September 2016 - Location, view, service are excellent. The second bedroom is dark and you can here noise from the lift in it. But the rest of the villa is very good. The first bedroom, the balconies garden. I think this is the best location in Positano.

The view from the balconies is stunning

September 2016 - We spent a fantastic week at Villa Ines. The villa is well-equipped and the view from the balconies is stunning.

We thought Positano was the best place to stay. We walked down into town on numerous occasions and later caught the bus back up to Chiesa Nuova - from there it isn't too far uphill back to the villa.

Summer In Italy have been fantastic throughout the whole process. I wouldn't hesitate to use you again, and have already recommended you to others.

Travel tips

  • We used local transport, no need for a car. We visited Sorrento, Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii, Amalfi and Ravello using public transport.
  • The buses are crowded so best to go out early for sightseeing trips.
  • Our best day was a boat trip to Capri with Blue Star.
  • There is a well-stocked, good value, local shop near to Bar Internazionale, a 10/15 mins walk down the hill.
