Amazing spot in Positano with incredible views. Top of the mountain so prepare to climb stairs - it’s an experience. Hosts were great and responsive. Restaurant and market very close, house was fully stocked! Can’t complain!!

We took our family to Positano and wanted a place with a pool and great views. The house was great and was in a decent area. Walking distance to a great restaurant and close to the bus. The house was great and in a secure and gated community. Perfect place for our family. Would defintley stay again.

We had a great stay at Casa Mariano! It was exactly as described and exactly what we were after. We needed very little but the communication with Mariano was clear and efficient. The many reviews here were quite helpful and we agree with nearly everything that's been repeated by previous guests. The nearest restaurant, Ristorante Da Costantino, was indeed a hidden gem and was our family's undisputed favorite pizza in Italy! It also serves as a nice location/reference point for describing the location of the villa. The restaurant or "Parco dei Fiori" are both better descriptions than the actual address. Good luck and enjoy!

Mariano was such an awesome host. He responded to all of my questions before we got there. Luca met us their and checked us in. It was easy. Like others have mentioned LOTS of stairs but worth it. The view was AMAZING! it was everything we expected and more. The kids only went into the pool once (very strict) but we can respect that. We had to buy pool caps (4 for 12 E). It is about 15 minutes to walk down to the center, all downhill. They did have public transportation but we went in high season the buses were jammed packed and the lines were brutal in the August summer heat. We would walk down then we would take a taxi up so not the most cost effective but we couldn't deal with the lines, 40 E to go up. We spent 4 days and 3 nights. The first day we stayed in the apartment till dinner time and drove to Piratas in Priano (highly recommend) the food and view was amazing. About a 15 minute drive. Keep in mind driving along the cliff. My husband crew up driving in these kind of streets but its a bit scary. The following day we walked down and we checked out the town, went to the beach (bring water shoes), we didn't do a beach club it was any where from 60 E for 2 chairs/umbrella. We went to public beach. We had reservations, Da Adolfo (highly recommend) they pick you up in a boat. We had dinner across the street from apt. Constatino (RSVP) it was delicious, beautiful view! we went to market 2 min walk from apt and liquor store 2 min away! HIGHLY REC!

Our family of six (four children 10-15yo) spent five days at this vrbo and had an incredible experience. The description is accurate in every detail. We chose this location in part bc of the pool- which was amazing and appeared to be unique (we didn’t see many other in positano.) The kids enjoyed swimming- it was great end to our day/adventure. Just as the description explains- downtown positano is absolutely walkable from the vrbo. We walked down every single day and walked back up every single evening. Although this was a workout, it was a highlight of our trip. (Exploring the area and finding the best routes.) It also helped us walk off all the gelato.We all agreed it would not have been as fun without the steps. There is a bus that can bring you back up but we never used it. We LOVED the view from the terrace and the outdoor shower. No one ever showered inside bc it was so spectacular to have that view… especially at night. The kitchen is fully functional with everything you could need to cook. There is an AMAZING restaurant a stones throw from the entrance- we had several meals their and the view is breathtaking. (Pizza ranked top three best spots in all of positano.) There is air conditioning in the main room but not the bedrooms. However each bedroom has a fan and with the air on and doors open- it was perfect. Ie- No a/c needed in bedrooms. We never needed the air conditioning by day. Lucas was a great person to contact when we needed help. A+ thank you

Beautiful views, nice community pool. Be prepared for lots of steps to explore city center or reach the beach or plan to utilize taxis/busses to get around. Area is great with small market down the street and a restaurant right across the street. Certainly a great option for staying in Positano.

We loved the villa, it is exactly as advertised and the views are just spectacular! The steps are a killer and not for the faint hearted. We will have fond memories of our stay here and can understand that you would try and stay local if staying here because of the long way down. The 2 restaurants close by Da Constantino and Ce'ra in a Volta have great food at reasonable prices and we loved la Tagliata experience too. The pool access is great relief in this heat. Thank you Mariano for your lovely Villa!

It has everything you need. The outdoor space is amazing. The beds are comfortable. The showers are small. The owner and management are very accommodating. The bus stop is close by that takes you into town. We went during high season and most of the time the busses were full so we had to walk to town which was not bad. I recommend taking the bus back.

My family group of six (two parents, two 18-year-olds and two 19-year olds) stayed in this apartment June 28 - 30, 2023. This was everyone's favorite accommodation from our two-week trip. The view from the balcony is unbeatable! There is a large tree on the balcony that gives much needed shade. This apartment was our respite from the heat and chaos in the city center. We ate dinner two of our three evenings on the balcony and we played cards every night on the balcony. It is close to the bus stop and within walking distance of a good restaurant. The pool was clean and large. The only suggestion we have is for the pool to stay open a little later - it closed at 6:00pm on weekdays. It would have been nice if it closed at 7:00pm. Booking was easy, host communication was good, and Salvatore was amazing at check-in and during our stay. He helped us with insider information on using the buses, where to shop, and where to eat. He even made a dinner reservation for us one night. We met a couple from Australia at the pool and they also praised Salvatore. We cooked breakfast one morning and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were a lot of steps to get to the city center, but we didn't mind. The view (and cool breeze) from the apartment balcony made up for the steps. Note - the steps are for real, there are a lot of them. We walked down and took the bus or taxi back up. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would!

We loved every aspect of this house. It had all the modern amenities (e.g., AC, coffee maker, microwave), location, views, excellent communication/check-in and chef.

If you are going to Positano, this is the place. No better view in the city. Mariano was fantastic throughout the process! Don’t fret over the steps since a porter is available (and we’ll worth the €10). Ask Mariano for the contact info for Claudio. Amazing chef who will come and cook a dinner if your choice. He is remarkable as a person and chef and made that night an absolute highlight of our three week trip. Bud is easy to catch downtown but there are also two taxi drivers in the complex who will not gouge like those in town. Don’t forget to eat at Costantino’s right across the street. Family run and the owner is a gem. Have to give a shout out to Lucas the porter/pool guy/infopedia. Great guy! Thank you Mariano for making this trip a joy!!

We stayed for 4 nights in May 2023. The apartment was exactly as described, and fulfilled all the requirements we had. Highly recommend hiring the chef, Claudio, to come prepare a meal for your visit one night!

Great stay here! The place was clean, beds comfortable and amazing views (since we were high up). Communication with the host was great and the check in process was easy and they were super helpful. The host even gave us info for a private chef who cooked up a fabulous 3 course meal one of the nights it was pouring rain so that worked out really well! Just make sure to bring your own toiletries as none were provided

Great property with VIEWS TO LIVE FOR......132 steps down to condo .......so keep that in mind.....WORTH EVERY STEP tho.....Huge....HUGE balcony.....don't hesitate to rent this place.....private parking on property is a huge plus......keep that in mind also

The terrace on this property with the views was spectacular! We had a chef come to the house (thank you Mariano for arranging the chef) one evening and ate dinner outside - this was one of our favorite evenings! The description of house of the house was accurate. Mariano was a pleasure to correspond with and he was very efficient and punctual! I would recommend this house to others.

We had a wonderful stay everything it stated was accurate, spacious unit , parking spot, unit was clean, communication was great!

Clean property. Excellent view. Well equipped. Good communication. If searching for address put in da Constanio restaurant as it is almost across the street from it. iPhone map led us to another house down the road. Stairs are mentioned. Bring a swimming cap if you want to use pool or you have to buy one(which seems excessive after shower) . Parking a plus. Buses crowded in busy season. We walked up and down. Good exercise if you are fit but you must like walking.

We loved this apartment! The view was incredible (though be prepared for a lot of stairs). The one con was the ant issue — there were a lot of ants that were stubborn enough that insect spray didn’t seem to do much.

We had an exceptional time with a family of 5. The location was amazing and pool perfect for the kids. Will definitely stay there again

We (my 2 kids, hubby and brother with wife) loved this place! it was just what we wanted, plus more! The view is to die for, just perfection, the pool was so much fun (although no alcohol allowed), the space inside was nice and roomy, had all the essentials, even a washing machine, owner was kind, checkin people were nice, and the constantino restaurant right across the street was really yummy and amzing!! Just a few minor negatives: ants in the kitchen; lots of stairs to/from downtown and even just within the complex but this all allowed us to eat and drink to our hearts content, our legs were sore and we are avid gym people; glass door on master bedroom didn't seem private enough. DO the private boat tour of almalfi coast, this was the best day we had in this area!

Clean

This place was beautiful and the most comfortable home rental during our trip to Europe. It is further than 15 minutes to the beach. My husband and myself are in great shape and it took probably 35 minutes if we were hustling. Also, the listing didn’t state, but you should be aware, you must purchase a swim cap and wear it to use the pool. The owner was great to work with.

We stayed here for a family vacation and it really was a great place. The view from the patio is AMAZING!! In fact, the pictures on the listing really don't do it justice. It is that nice of a view. The only word of caution I would say is that the villa is down about 100 steps...which isn't too bad. But going back up those 100 steps is a bit of a workout. Overall this was an awesome place and we would definitely rent there again.

Mariano's home was perfect for my 17 year old twin girls, my husband and myself! The house was clean and well equipped. It is away from all the hustle and bustle with the most perfect view. It is 1050 steps straight up the hill to be exact! We have no major complaints about the house except for the beds which we found not to be too comfortable. Another thing worth mentioning is that you have to take about 130 stairs to get to this unit. It wasn't a problem except for when we had to take 4 heavy luggage to and from the unit. This would be very difficult for elderly folks or someone with a cardiac problem. With that said, we had a beautiful time in Positano and Mariano's house worked out well for us.

This unit has everything pool ,parking a view thats spectacular. The unit is well kept and spacious with an enormous patio. If you dont have a car its located at the bus stop. A restaurant and grocery steps from the complex

The interior was nicer then I thought. The view from this place is magical. The communication was top notch. Even booked a restaurant and an excursion for us when ours got cancelled last minute. Thank you. Do a boat ride to Capri. Incredible. Positano is one of the most beautiful places.

My 3 friends and I traveled to Positano for the views, food, and beaches and we were not disappointed! Mariano’s condo was amazing to stay in! Location: The condo’s location pretty far up on the hill in Positano, which is why the views are so spectacular! We felt the nearby/walkable restaurants were much more authentic vs the ones closer to the beach/city centre, so we were thrilled with all of the amazing food we ate up there. We were able to walk down to the beach/city centre in 20-30 minutes with no issues. The one word of advice we have though is BE PREPARED FOR STEPS! There is a bus system that can take you up and down the hill (try and figure out the bus ASAP!), but it would be an understatement to say you will be getting a leg workout when you stay in Positano! Condo: So spacious! Each person in our group of 4 got her own bed. The condo was very clean and had all of the essentials. It was very secure - the condos are located in a gated community and we were greeted and welcomed with open arms as soon as we arrived (shout out to Salvadore who helped us with luggage when we arrived and reservations all week!). It has a pool for condo tenants (you need to wear a swim cap in the pool as an FYI). However, the big selling point: THE TERRACE! It’s enormous and the views were breathtaking. We spent most mornings / nights out there with a cup of a coffee or a glass of wine and took in those views. Our only heads up, again, would be, prepare for steps! There are over 100 steps between the front gate and the condo’s entry. We HIGHLY recommend staying here!! We loved our experience here!

Everything was better than pictured. The hosts were very helpful and we took advantage of the grocery delivery offered from store nearby. The stairs are formidable but that is everywhere in Positano! Amazing stay - highly recommend.

Mariano's condo is truly stunning. The views and private terrace, as other reviewers have mentioned, is second to none. We felt like kings on what has to be the best view in Positano. We did not spend much time inside or cook any of our own meals, but we did notice that the kitchen was stocked with everything that you could need. The place was very clean. The steps down to town/beach are really not bad at all. We enjoyed the walk down on the steps as it's part of the charm of Positano. We took the bus back up to the condo each evening and it was very easy. We highly recommend Casa Mariano.

Our host was wonderful!! He was very helpful with how things worked and where things were located inside his place. Lots of stairs, but worth it for the view from the wrap around terrace…it was spectacular both day and night! Wonderful breeze in the evening too! The bus was very convenient, easy to use and within a short walk. Highly recommend!
