We can’t say enough about how absolutely incredible Raffaele’s home is! Right from the start Raffaele communicated with us setting up a ride from the airport and porters to take our luggage up the many steps to the house. We arrived to find Anna there to greet us and show us the house. We couldn’t believe how beautiful it was! Even better than the pictures. Everything was spotless and the place was tastefully decorated. It provided us with everything we needed and more. 2 bathrooms, clothes washer and drying rack. Fully stocked kitchen with dishwasher and an amazing large balcony overlooking the Mediterranean! The view is incredible and can be seen from everywhere in the house! We couldn’t get enough of it! When we first arrived, Raffaele had flowers, Prosecco, cheese, tomatoes, and bread to help us celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary with a beautiful hand written card. There was also a bottle of wine and water in the fridge. Coffe and tea were also provided. It was so special, it made us feel really welcomed. We truly enjoyed our time in Positano and we were able to explore the Amalfi coast from this location. Our favorite time was when we had coffee and wine on the balcony. We also hired Angela, Raffaele’s sister, to cook us a local meal homemade in our kitchen. That was an experience not to be missed. Thank you, Raffaelle, Angela and Anna for making this such a special time for us. We highly recommend Casa Montechiaro and would love to come back one day!!!

Wonderful Apartment in Positano with a Great Balcony
Wonderful Apartment in Positano with a Great Balcony
I would recommend this rental to any couple traveling to Positano. It is exactly as described in the listing. The host is very helpful and always respond promptly to your inquiries. I would highly recommend taking advantage of the opportunity to have Angela cook dinner for you at least one night during your stay. I would also recommend visiting the three beaches that are within a 15 to 20 minute walk of the property.

Amazing property on the coast overlooking Positano
Amazing property on the coast overlooking Positano
Our visit to Positano and this property were incredible. We loved the villa and all that it had to offer. The home was clean and well supplied, and the lay out was very stylish and well designed. The terrace offered incredible view looking down on the beautiful coast line and the lemon terraces. We spent many evenings sitting out on the terrace, sipping on wine, watching the yachts come and go , and gazing at the star lit sky. It was peaceful and relaxing. Although we did not cook dinner in the kitchen, it had all the dishes and utensils that you may need. Raffaele, the property owner, was incredibly helpful and accommodating. He helped arrange the car service to pick us up in Naples, a porter to carry our bags up the stairs, and had scooters delivered near the villa so we could go exploring. If I needed anything and sent an email, he was quick to reply and help in any way. The only challenge of this property is the stairs up to the villa. It is a bit of a walk up, climbing up stairs and walkways. We did not mind the climb and took it as a fun way to build up our strength and endurance. If you are not very fit and can not climb stairs, this might not be the right location for you. We like the location, and think it made our stay in Positano just perfect.

Beautiful Positano hillside apartment!
Beautiful Positano hillside apartment!
The apartment is in an excellent location on the hillside in Positano with impressive scenic sea views. The stairs to the apartment are lined with lemon trees and an array of flowers. The walk down the hill to the very centre of Positano takes around 5 minutes with breathtaking, spectacular views! The apartment is more spacious than we expected - perfect for a couple. The kitchen is fully equipped with indoor and outdoor dining, large terrace and a sun lounger. The double room was very comfortable with a separate toilet and shower. There were two hairdryers, plenty of towels (including two beach towels) and lots of shelf space/wardrobes for storage. Raffaele the owner was extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. He organised our transfer from Naples airport (something I highly recommend). Such a nice, genuine host! We stayed in Positano for one week, but we could have stayed longer because there was so much to do. Buses conveniently stop nearby and the local restaurant Casa Mele offers a superb tasting menu! Our holiday was a dream come true! We hope to visit again one day and stay in Raffaele’s apartment. Highly recommended!

Perfect honeymoon setting
Perfect honeymoon setting
Raffaele was a wonderful host of this property. Perfectly situated to enjoy all of the Positano activities (a 20 minute walk) or to enjoy a quiet evening on a private balcony overlooking the Mediterranean. Raffaele helped us arrange a driver to and from Napoli. He had food and wine ready for our arrival which we enjoyed multiple times over the week. Electricity, as noted, is extra but Raffaele noted the start and finish of our service, for precise accuracy. As a point of reference, we stayed one week, ran the AC in the bedroom every night, ran two loads of dishes and one load of laundry. Plus the occasional tv and fan. Our e’bill was 47 euros. There are some fabulous places to eat and a little convenience store within 5 minutes of the apt. Cafe Mele was the best restaurant we ate at in Italy and is just around the corner from the apartment. Positano may not be the best place to visit if walking and climbing stairs are an issue, but this was a perfect place for these 50 something newlyweds to spend their honeymoon! Hoping to be be back in the future!
