TRANSFER

To reach the Amalfi Coast and especially this central area of Positano, from the train station and airport of Naples / Salerno or Rome, we recommend booking a private transfer that we can arrange for you. If, on the other hand, you prefer to use public transport, it is advisable to arrive by train in Sorrento, then continue to Positano with Sitasud and get off at Chiesa Nuova, to then reach the Grotta di Fornillo on foot or by local bus and take the alley via Lepanto, where we are located.

Perfect spot for family

The balcony overlooking the water was amazing. We were lucky to arrive during the full moon and the moon didn’t disappoint. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

It’s also wonderful to hear about your host's exceptional hospitality.

Wonderful Villa

This villa was absolutely amazing. Stayed here with 3 other friends. We had plenty of space and utilized the balcony many times. Location was great. We walked everywhere. 10mins to Fornilla beach and 20min walk to Spiaggia beach. Close walk to great restaurants as well. Domenico was extremely accommodating and the whole check in and check out process was extremely easy. Would definitely book again and would highly recommend!

Positano apartment

Loved the views from this Positano apartment. The apartment has small air conditioning units in each bedroom but we did not need them during our stay because the apartment cooled each night nicely. The kitchen was equipped to make small meals but we only used it for coffee and some breakfast items. We did use the washer and hung everything to dry which was fine.The apartment is very close to some great restaurants and the beach as well as a short walk into the main area of Positano. Would stay here again.

Hello Loraine Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views and convenient location of Villa Elio. While we don’t claim to be a luxury property, what truly makes this house special is its unique setting—just above the quiet and scenic Fornillo Beach and the well-loved Bagni da Ferdinando, offering a more relaxed seaside experience. Our location is one of the highlights, with easy walking access to all of Positano’s main attractions, and just steps from the lively Fornillo area, filled with restaurants, bars, and food stores. We’re happy you had a comfortable stay and would love to welcome you back again! Domenico
