We had an AMAZING stay at Casa Samuela

We had an AMAZING stay at Casa Samuela! This is our 4th trip to Positano and this is the best house we have stayed in. The views are insane, the location was ideal (very few steps). The house itself is really well done. Just Perfect. We had the chance to meet the owners and they were great! Our booking and check-in process was seamless. We liked the house and the price.

We loved the location and proximity of Casa Samuela to everything in Positano and would definitely recommend this house to our family. Daniela and Giovanni [the owners] couldn’t have been better to us during our stay. We frequently visited their market for some food for breakfast and the wine and limoncello.

This apartment is beautiful, clean and with magnificent views of the sea and the village of Positano. The panoramic view is as spectacular from the inside as it is from the private wrap around deck outside. The bedrooms are specious and the beds are quite comfortable. The large gate at the entrance offers a sense of privacy, while also being very close to shops/restaurants with only a 94 step hike (which is nothing in Positano). The owners also own a great little market/wine shop with one stop shopping, just a stone’s through away The are there at 7:00 a. M. through the early evening and eager to help out with questions. Check-in/check-out was smooth. Thank you Luca at Summer in Italy and owner Daniela!

Perfect view and location

Our stay was fantastic. The location is in a perfect placement on Positano’s hill. You are up high enough for a great view off the balcony and out your windows, but you do not have to climb a crazy amount of steps to reach it. Inside the house was spotless and had two great bedrooms each with its own bathroom which made our stay perfect for two couples. We often sat and enjoyed the views of the city on the balcony or in the living room looking out the open window with a bottle of wine. The check in and out was so easy and everyone involved was kind and willing to share advice and answered any questions we had. I also must add the good water pressure in the showers was one of our highlights! We found this was not always the case on our long Europe trip. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here! The location to both the beach and city center plus any restaurant couldn’t have been better.

We spent 2 weeks at Casa Samuela and enjoyed every day

We spent 2 weeks at Casa Samuela and enjoyed every day. The villa is as per the web site photos. The location is right in the center of Positano, within easy walking to shops, ferry terminal and bus stops. Highly recommend Casa Samuela as a great place to stay and explore the Amalfi Coast. Daniela [the owner] is the perfect hostess and she goes out of her way to ensure that you have a great time. She was extremely helpful in explaining where to go and what to do on the Amalfi Coast to make the holiday entertaining. Many thanks to Daniela and Giovanni for all their help and hospitality. Summer In Italy web site is very good, and dealing with them was a breeze. Everything was planned well and confirmed with hours.

We had a wonderful time at Casa Samuela

We had a wonderful time at Casa Samuela! It had all the needed amenities, including beach towels! The home was clean and everything worked as it should. We could not have found for a better place to stay. Casa Samuela is a true gem! Daniela [the owner] and her staff were friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional. Working with Summer In Italy has been a stress free experience. They are true professionals and went above and beyond to make our trip a happy and successful one.

FANTASTIC rental

FANTASTIC rental. So much to say about this gem of a rental. Just returned from an eight night stay. First time renting on the Amalfi Coast yet five previous times renting an Italian villas. This was my 11th vacation to Italy in the past 17 years and my absolute favorite. I left feeling as though I was more of a local than a tourist. About the property: only being about 90 stairs from shopping, restaurants and the water is key! Especially when compared to other rentals in Positano. The less stairs the better being key for some. The views are spectacular. We left the large windows open day and night and enjoyed the AC in both bedrooms when sleeping at night. The house was spotless when we arrived. White walls, great accent colors and nicely appointed. We dined out two meals a day so the small kitchen was perfect for our needs. Very nice bedrooms and bathrooms. And I loved the blue tiles in the smaller bathroom. The views are spectacular overlooking the beach and church and Positano above. I could go on and on! What you see on line is what you get plus so much more! Daniela and her husband [the owners], who work at a near grocery store, are so helpful, nice and engaging. And their to go sandwiches are killer! Plus their shop has everything needed from food to wine to fresh fruit to personal items like bandaids and sunscreen. And their open from 7:30 am - 10 pm and reasonable. The experience in working with Daniela was first rate. Having a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge when we arrived was a nice touch! We encountered a challenge with the keys/door lock sticking and Daniela immediately gave us another set. She also took the initiative to come with a locksmith to change out the lock the next morning so that we wouldn't be inconvenienced. A nice touch! Here are all the GREAT parts my friend and I experienced through this Summer In Italy (SII) rental: SII's customer service, communication, transactional process and quality of property. The tips and descriptions on where to go upon arrival, etc. SII are first rate. My best experience yet. Thank you to their first rate staff!

Daniela [the owner] was very helpful. She even had a bottle of water and a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us in the fridge and reserved the Porters for the day we left.

Casa Samuela was one of the nicest, cleanest, and most convenient places I have ever stayed. In my opinion, there can't be a better place in Positano: it is right above the beach, restaurant area, overlooking the church. We loved our stay! It was part of a vacation that we will never, ever forget. The owners, Daniela and her husband operate a store nearby stocked with everything from fresh fruit, cheese, great selection of wine, and everything else you might need! They are so friendly and helpful.

We loved staying at Casa Samuela

We loved staying at Casa Samuela. The apartment is only 90 steps down to the bottom of Positano to access the beach and the shore front. Location was excellent. There was a stage set up on the beach and local dancers performed every night and we had the best seats in town. Gorgeous balcony, well appointed rooms the bathroom to the first bedroom was a little small but this was a minor issue. It was big enough for four people. Kitchen was small but well equipped and adequate for our needs. Would highly recommend. Daniela our host met us and helped with our bags. She showed us around the apartment and said we could contact her anytime. She worked at the local wine and grocery store so was at our disposal whenever. Daniela was extremely helpful and we loved Casa Samuela.

We all loved Casa Samuela, from it's location just above the beach, with not as many steps to how spacious it was, right through to how pleasant and helpful its owner was. The apartment was nicer than we expected! Daniela, the owner, made it even more enjoyable with her lovely friendly approach. Simply thank you, we felt so looked after and loved every minute in Positano and in Casa Samuela. Magical place. Service we have received from Summer In Italy is simply superb. From the very start, with every question and every email they showed what it means great customer experience. Huge thanks to you all, both Luca, Valeria and Melanie. First class experience!

We absolutely loved Casa Samuela

We absolutely loved Casa Samuela. I don't think you could get a better location in Positano. So close to the beach so only a few steps to climb at the end of each day. An amazing, million-dollar view. And beautiful, recently renovated bedrooms and bathrooms. Better than a hotel - we would stay again in a heartbeat. Daniela is a gracious and lovely host and her shop, just at the bottom of the stairs, is very convenient. We were recommended Summer In Italy by friends. We found the "chat" service over the Internet incredibly helpful when booking. All my emails were answered promptly and I found your company to be extremely efficient and helpful. Very impressed. Would recommend to friends and use you again.

Casa Samuela was perfect, amazing view and great location

Casa Samuela was perfect, amazing view and great location. The apartment itself is clean and comfortable with huge windows to take in that breathtaking view. It is right in the center of Positano so only a few steps (relatively speaking) to the shops, beach and restaurants but still very private and quiet. We were traveling with our three children so it was great to be so close to everything without too many steps for the kids (and us!). Would stay here again and thoroughly recommend to friends. We were very happy with Summer In Italy service. Thank you.

We loved our stay at Casa Samuela in June 2014

We loved our stay at Casa Samuela in June 2014. The views from the terrace and the living/kitchen were spectacular. The bedrooms were roomy and simple. The location was exceptional. 90 stairs and we were right in the midst of Positano shopping and restaurants and close to the beach. The owners were very helpful and kind. They spoke English well. Overall, we would highly recommend Casa Samuela. It was perfect for children too.

Casa Samuela was so comfortable inside and clean

Casa Samuela was so comfortable inside and clean. The huge windows in the living room will give you a full panoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea. We were able to wash our clothes and hang them on a provided rack on the balcony, they dried so quickly... It was so nice to have that feature. Steps to the house are about 85, but wait!!!! That is about 100 - 150 steps less than most other places in Positano!!!!!!!! Some are even higher. Positano is a beautiful town on a hill and you need to understand that. When that is clear, your vacation will be great. Our view from Casa Samuela was so incredible that we were instructed to lock the fence on the terrace at all times because people walking up the stairs try to come in to take pictures of the view. We had the greatest view of all of Positano! The owners were incredible people... They want to help at every corner and in every way. I want that people know and understand that they are really good people. Also, they own the store under the property and are so personable and helpful. Their store is so nice inside, deli and wine selection are outstanding and they also have amazing fresh fruit and a variety of things needed for your stay. I will be staying at Casa Samuela again on my return to Positano. Summer In Italy suggestions, explanation of what to expect and directions was 100% on point. Thank you. I am so happy that I stayed there Luca. Thank you for everything. I am recommending you to everyone that I know.

We could not have picked a better place to stay

We could not have picked a better place to stay. The view, proximity to ferries and buses, nearby shopping and market made Casa Samuela a great choice. We had plenty of towels and a hair dryer. Shower had plenty of hot water for all. Beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of storage to unpack. There was even the TV to catch up on some news. The coffee maker was great and we had all the dishes and glasses we needed. We only ate breakfast at villa, on the private patio with a gorgeous view of water and town. The view was so beautiful that tourists frequently stopped right outside our patio to take pictures. Our landlord was so helpful in providing some guidance of where to go and what to see. We shopped at the landlord's market for fresh figs and other fruit, fresh bread, sausage and cheeses and anything else we needed was there. There was actually entertainment each night at a stage by the harbor that we could enjoy from our apartment. We looked on line and found Summer In Italy web site - the pictures and description were true - you helped us decide on place with great view - we had everything we needed and had a great vacation with our family! You were easy to work with and a reliable site. It made payment easy and you provided us with anything we needed. You do a great job!
