Casa Roberta

This was the cutest accommodation set overlooking the stunning village of Positano. It has everything you need for an overnight stay. Very clean and compact. The hostess is really lovely and gave us all the information we needed despite the language barrier. It's a 25 min walk down to the village, and the walk-up takes a lot longer with all the steps. However, if you work out the bus timetable, there is a bus up and down every hour. Gorgeous views of Positano...it's like a dream

Iron and ironing board was very small.

The View

Location, lack of communication, luggage lift,

The view from the property was incredible, and the little terrace area with deck chairs and a table in was excellent to sit especially on an evening to enjoy the view. It was a well equipped property, although a little small - but the space was generous enough that you didn’t feel cramped whilst inside. The shower was excellent and the host also left breakfast/snack items inside which were appreciated. It was very clean and well maintained.

The property is located up on hill overlooking positano. Whilst the location offers incredible views, it is pretty far out from the centre. To get up from the port/beach area by foot it is approx 800 steps! There is a local bus service however we were advised on this being unreliable and often packed. Local taxis also charge a fortune. It is worth mentioning that the walk down to the town is much easier however the walk up is difficult, even when moderately fit. This property would however be perfect for anyone who wishes to enjoy positano outside the hustle and bustle of the city.

Really enjoyed the quiet location and the sensational view. Could have spent our whole stay relaxing on the terrace! The host made us feel very welcome even though she couldn’t speak English. Lots of extras including snacks, drinks, racks to dry your clothes on, even an iron. Bus stop nearby ( the local bus to Nocelle and back) if you don’t like the walk up the hill, but that wasn’t an issue for us. Great restaurant nearby. We like hiking so discovered lots of walking paths near the accommodation up the mountain behind Positano which we had to ourselves. Left Positano having thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would definitely recommend.

Coffee maker didn’t work very well.

What a gem on the heights of Positano! The photos posted by the hosts don't do it justice, the view far exceeded our expectations! The terrace is so big, well furnished and beautiful that it'll make you want to stay there all day! Plus you have the sun from morning to about 4pm (mid-april) so plenty of hours to soak in the sun! It also comes with an outdoor shower, which we loved in order to cool down, and also a rack to dry your laundry, which was very convenient. The apartment was extremely clean and very-well furnished - it's small but so well arranged that you don't feel at all that its too small, especially because the terrace is even bigger than the apartment, and you'll spend most of your time there. The apartment comes with a fully-equipped kitchenette (plates, cutlery, wine glasses, dish-soap, sponge, kitchen roll, rags, olive oil, vinegar, salt, microwave, pots and pans etc.) so it's super convenient to make a nice meal at home (salad, pasta etc.), and the view from the terrace will make you want to do just that! The bathroom is big and also comes with shampoo, hair dryer, etc. The hosts left everything to make breakfast - coffee, tea, milk, butter, biscuits, cereals, rusks, and also several bottles of water. There is also a TV (not that we used it) for those who'd be interested, and even an ironing board. Do not expect a lot of communication on the app from the owners - they're basically always here to check you in, so just show up at the door! Graziella checked us in and although she only speaks italian, everything was clear and we managed to understand one another - she was very sweet and even brought us a change of towels after two days. Be aware that if you don't have a car, this place is high on Positano, a 30min walk up on stairs from the beach or a 10min ride back on the local bus (which runs about once per hour, and stops right in front of the apartment).

More of an FYI than a negative thing, the coffee machine wasn't working properly (only a single drop would come in every now and then) so maybe something to check for the owners and also the bed is very soft for our liking, which we also saw in other comments so it might be time to invest in a new bed for future guests :) And finally hot water was capricious and seemed to run out fast... But anyway, none of it did undermine our experience in any way!

The view is very nice, and ample breakfast provided. Room is clean and bedding is comfortable. There is also a luggage elevator, which is a huge plus.

Host barely responsive and doesn't give any directions. Neighbor had to call to ring us in. The shower flooded when we were showering and the entire floor got wet twice so we learned not to use water at full pressure. We couldn't get the lock to work one night and host responded to our message one hour later. They did not pick up their phone to a call. Also the walk up from central positano is a brutal 15 min uphill walk. There is a shuttle that comes every 30 min. A taxi cab up is 40 euro. Also check out is at 10:00PM sharp, which means you need to evacuate the building at that time. No leniency on hanging out around the patio.

The place is fantastic. The view is amazing and the owners are super sweet and helpful.
