Jan 16, 2016 #### Fantastic apartment - very clean!! We just got back from a trip around Italy and were fortunate enough to stay at the House Montecello for 4 nights (originally planned for only 3, but loved the apartment so much we stayed an additional night). The house is so well appointed, with all the comforts of home. The kitchen had great appliances and everything was clean and new; they included a bar and wine supplies should you not feel like leaving; all at reasonable prices. The whole apartment is very clean which is really important to us and our standards are set quite high so was another pleasant perk. We didn't have the greatest weather so didn't utilize the deck as much as we had hoped, but I do have to say that the view from the rather large deck is simply divine. Our stay was in the off season so the bus to Montepertuso was a little infrequent, although if you grab a schedule you will be fine; the buses from Positano (just below) run much more frequently in the higher seasons (I believe every half hour or so). There is a bus stop right outside the property. We didn't have a car but there is plenty of parking at the property. If you walk down the road, it will take you about a half hour to 40mins to Bar International which is basically the start of Positano. There are markets and other stores there as well. There is a little grocery shop in Montepertuso about a 5min stroll away, and a restaurant that is simply divine; Ill Ritrovo. We ate there 3 of the 4 nights we were there as it was that good! There are other restaurants right there too however some were closed due to being in the off season - didn't matter to us, we loved Il Ritrovo! The grounds are beautiful here as well, with loads of gardens and the cutest dog (Mini Cooper) who becomes your daily welcome wagon. Raffaele is very kind and aims to accommodate all that he can to make your stay wonderful. I highly recommend this apartment, and will absolutely be back. Oh and another perk is that the apartment is located near one of the Path of the Gods trail heads as well as other hikes in the area. Can't wait to return!!!

The private patio was lovely for taking in the views. It’s a couple small apartments up in the hills and a short walk to a wonderful market and restaurant Il Ritrovo that we absolutely loved. Wonderful spot to unplug. ##### Jama B. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Edward W. Jul 16, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Splendid in the sky This apartment was great. Multiple great views and places to sit and enjoy. The place is kept well inside and out. The A/C worked great. The ride to tow was a bit longer then expected. We circumvented this by hiring a taxi up and down daily. We put money aside for this and made it a non issue. The shopping and food in town are both great. There’s a great convenience store close to the house. ##### Edward W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark J., Calgary May 15, 2019 #### Great property and hosts! Up in the village of Montepertuso, this great rental overlooks Positano but is away from the chaos of the tourists. The best of both worlds. A cab ride or bus ride from Positano. Teresa and her family will make you feel so much at home. She is a wealth of information and suggestions. Il Ritrovo restaurant was one of our favourites. A 15 minute walk to the village. Also try Grotto Azzura. Teresa will arrange the restaurant shuttle for you. Would highly recommend this property. ##### Mark J. Stayed 5 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ken m. Nov 2, 2018 #### Exactly as described and shown. Wonderful We had a great stay at Casa Monticello, everything was perfect. Would loved to have stayed longer.

Oct 25, 2016 #### A charming apartment in Montepertuso We stayed here for six nights in September 2016. Casa Monticello is located in Montepertuso, a village near (and above) Positano, perched on the cliffside. The area is a lot quieter than Positano proper, and we liked that. It’s very reasonably priced, and not fancy, but we got a lot for our money. September is a good time to go weather-wise; we only had a little rain the whole week and the temperatures were comfortable. This is a multi-unit house with several apartments. The one we had is a comfortable one-bedroom, with a kitchen / living / dining area, a medium size bedroom with a good queen bed, and a bathroom with shower and clothes washer. The focal point of the place is the patio with the most amazing views of Positano. Day or night, it’s fabulous to sit out there and soak up the view. The place was spotlessly clean, and Raffaele Guida, the owner, and his family were very friendly and accommodating. Raffaele doesn’t speak much English, but his daughter Teresa is fluent and helped us out with information and whatever we needed. There is a garden and vineyard on this unique cliffside property, and Raffaele was generous with tomatoes, grapes and a bottle of his tasty homemade red wine. And their dog Cooper is an adorable little mascot! Montepertuso village center is a short walk from the property. We really got to see daily, non-tourist, life in Italy, which is what we wanted. Piazza Cappella, which appears to be the center of town, has a well-stocked mini-market, several good restaurants (Il Ritrovo is great!) and a bus stop with hourly buses to Positano. You’ll do a lot of walking and climbing here. Note: if you’re not used to driving in Italy, don’t do it here! The roads are very narrow and winding, and the drivers who are used to the roads go very fast. We were happy to not have to deal with that. Just taking the bus (don’t count on getting a seat either) down to Positano is like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride at Disney World. I don’t know how the bus drivers do it…lol but overall it's easy to get around by bus and on foot. So if you want a quiet getaway with easy access to the beauty and bustle of Positano, Casa Monticello in Montepertuso is a great choice! Grazie mille to the Guida family. ##### Bryson D.

Jun 3, 2016 #### Nicest apartment on the Amalfi Coast As another reviewer asked, "Where do I start?" I booked Casa Monticello for the month of May, 2016. I have travelled around the world and have rented many apartments, homes, and villas for my vacation stays; and I must say Casa Monticello is by far the best place I have ever stayed, and my hosts - Raffaele, Teresa, Emilia, and Fabrizio - are simply the nicest people I have ever met in my travels. I was met at the train station by Teresa and her husband, Fabrizio, who stopped along the way at scenic sites for me to take pictures. When we arrived, Raffaele and and his wife, Emilia, were very sweet and welcoming, taking care of my luggage with an ingenious lift that Raffaele had designed. They showed me the apartment and made me feel immediately at home. The apartment met and exceeded all expectations - extremely clean, very modern, and very comfortable, with many extra "touches" that really made the place special. The view from the private terrace is stunning - mountains on 2 sides, Positano in all its glory 1000 feet beneath you, and the sea stretching out to the horizon. The entire Guida family was very patient with my limited Italian, impressing me with their grasp of English. Especially Teresa, who speaks wonderful English and served as my hostess, translator, counselor, tour guide and booking agent my entire stay. My visit would not have been the same without her. One of the special perks of staying here is Raffaele's boat. Each of my friends said the boat excursions were the highlights of their visit. Raffaele is an expert fisherman who knows the coast like the back of his hand, and with Teresa as our tour guide, Raffaele showed every nook and cranny of the coast during a water tour around each of the islands in the area, including Capri, with Teresa telling us the stories and myths of the area. We visited Capri, returning to the boat for a beautiful trip back. While the trips to Capri are beautiful, it is the trip from Positano south to Amalfi that had the most sights to see and stories to be told, and it is so different then what you can see by car. The friendly little town of Montepertuso is in walking distance and has a small grocery store, a coffee bar, and a restaurant, Il Ritrovo, where Salvatore, his wife, and staff serve wonderful food and treat every guest as family. I went there many times. I cannot overstate how wonderful my month was at Casa Monticello. I now consider it my "home" in Positano, and I will return. ##### Sheila S.

I love the ritz and JW, they truly have the best appointed hotel rooms and customer services. but when I had to stay at the JW in SH for 6 weeks for work a few years ago, I went bananas (despite they gave me a junior suite!) by pure accident, I came upon the name "montepertuso" during my search on VRBO website. it is a small village that is part of the comune di positano, and it is perched at 1000 feet above positano. when I saw the pictures posted by owner raffaele guida for his property, casa montecello, I knew this was the place I wanted for our extended stay. yes, pictures are worth a thousand words, but having traveled and done road trips in turkey, Sicily, even the English country side, and of course in the United States, I was well aware of the risk of a non-internaitonal brand that you never know what you may find once you get there. I don't know about you, but it is extremely critical for me that the place has to have the right bed, proper covers (not too hot or too cold for sleeping) and decent shower so that I can sleep and clean properly. all I can say is that casa montecello is everything and more. it is a TRUE one-bedroom apartment, meaning it has a real bedroom with a door and a lot of closet space; it has a firm queen size bed, and a futon that is not uncomfortable; it has great shower with really hot water and nice pressure; it has a washing machine which was a must-have for us so that hubby can wash his cycling kit after each ride. it gets better: 1)breathtaking view from 1000 feet above. it is not the view you can possibly get unless you get higher up. 2) large and truly private terrace 3) raffaele has an electric pull so you don't have to drag any luggage up or down. 4) truly close to bus and mini-market and village center. it has EVERYTHING one needs to make it a home away from home! except this "home" is set at one of the most beautiful places on earth! ##### Tia x.

Jun 30, 2015 #### Consigliato La casa e' esattamente come nelle foto con una terrazza abitabile con una vista magnifica. L'appartamento e' dotato di tutti i confort. A pochi metri c'e' la fermata dell'autobus che e' il mezzo piu' consigliato per scendere giu' a positano; se venite in costiera amalfitana in generale dovete mettere in conto lunghi tempi di attesa e tanti scalini ma e' anche questo il bello di questi posti...viverli in modo rilassante e senza mettersi fretta. Abbiamo anche effettuato una gita in barca a capri utilizzando la barca di Raffaele guidata da un marinaio esperto della costa, gran bella esperienza alternativa alle gite collettive in quanto abbiamo avuto la barca a disposizione per noi per tutto il giorno stabilendo con il marinaio i tempi e le modalita' delle soste sia nelle calette intorno a capri per dei bagni che sulla terraferma. ##### Annalisa R.

Jun 17, 2015 #### perfect location with amazing views This apartment was even better then we expected. The location up on hill in Monterpertuso overlooking Positano was ideal. The views from your very private terrace our breathtaking. The apartment had everything we needed all kitchen supplies linens washing machine. The large terrace had umbrella Table and chairs and two comfortable lounge chairs. We were hesitant booking online and not being able to use credit card,but when we arrived and met owner we knew we made the perfect choice. Raffaelle and his wife and daughter were so kind and went out of there way to make your stay pleasant. They will not be forgotten. Also the private parking in was great. Security deposit returned before we left Perfect choice, great memories, Len ##### Donna C. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonica A. Nov 5, 2014 #### Perfect getaway My husband, our 20 month old and myself (7 months pregnant) stayed here for 3 nights in October. The apartment was in a perfect location for us; looking down over Positano and having space for our little one to run was ideal. The owner and his daughter were more than helpful with restaurant and other advice. It was nice having a place to park our rental car, as well as a kitchen to use for our evening meals. They already had a baby cot set up for us when we arrived. Raffaele even offered to let us use his car to drive down and parking in the city as we were hesitant taking ours (we took ours eventually which was fine and we also used the bus once). It was a fantastic stay, in which we'd happily do again as well as recommend all our friends to stay here too! Thank you. ##### Jonica A.

Questa è già la seconda volta che scelgo Casa Monticello. Un appartamento situato, secondo me, nella zona più incantevole di Positano, Montepertuso. Dal terrazzino di questo confortevole appartamento si può godere di uno straordinario panorama, diviso fra montagna e mare. Inoltre potrete ammirare la bellissima e multicolore città di Positano ai vostri piedi. L'appartamento è composto da 2 camere da letto fresche e pulite, con cucina completa di tutto l'occorrente per cucinare le vostre pietanze preferite, e bagno con doccia e lavatrice. Potete anche usufruire di servizi come Internet ed il TV Sky per il vostro relax. Le strade di Positano sono strette e quindi ho apprezzato molto il posto macchina all'interno della proprietà. Usciti dal cancello c'è la fermata del bus che vi porterà dove volete. Inoltre, da non trascurare, il proprietario sig. Ricca Raffaele, è veramente una persona seria, gentilissima e disponibile per aiutarvi, soprattutto se è la prima volta che soggiornate a Positano, a trascorrere il vostro soggiorno il più piacevolmente possibile. Se scegliete Casa Monticello, andate tranquilli. Non ve ne pentirete! ##### Matteo L. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonia P. Jun 28, 2013 #### Fantastic Apt with an amazing View Positano is a gem nestled in the most beautiful of coves along the Italian coastline. And in the hills above this gem is Casa Monitcello. My husband and I stayed for one week and absolutely loved every second of it. From the initial contact, Guida was extremely responsive and helpful. He even assisted us in determining to rent a car or not. When we arrived he met us on site and took us down some stairs (no lift) to our apt. The apt is big, clean, has everything you need for a week stay (including a laundry machine) and the best feature is the big balcony that overlooks the town of Positano, with an old school charcoal grill that perfectly cooked our fresh whole fish. Monticello sits approx 1km (vertically above) Positano. There are 3 ways to get down, 1700 stairs, a 6km walk down windy roads or the city bus. I recommend trying all 3 (especially the stairs and road, we saw so many fascinating things youll never see anywhere else). As a note the bus leaves Positano at 22:20 at night so if you want to stay in town late you'll have to hike it back up or take a taxi (25€). Located 200m from the apt is a mini market that has all the essentials, and 2 fabulous restaurants one for meat, one for fish. And stop at Bar Pergola on the way for a cafe macchiato, the girls at the bar are the nicest ever and made the best coffees in town. All in all it was wonderful and I would highly recommend it. ##### Sonia P.

The views on arrival were breathtaking, the apartment beautiful, functional, clean and quite comfortable. Raffaele took us through the apartment, helped us with our luggage and was always available to answer questions or lend a helping hand. The location is truly ideal as it took us only half an hour to walk to Positano or an hour to get to the beach. The bus stop is right outside the parking entrance and groceries, restaurants and more are available 15 minutes on foot in Montepertuso. One restaurant recommended by Raffaele, Il Ritrovo, was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. We are on vacation for 2 months in Europe and hope that other rentals are near as helpful as Raffaele and that the apartments in other parts of Europe are as well organized and comfortable as Monticello House. Thank you Raffaele you made our stay on the Amalfi Coast that much more enjoyable! Denis and Sherry ##### Denis V.

"Immaginate di dormire in una casa accogliente, comoda e silenziosa dotata di ogni confort. Immaginate poi di alzarVi al mattino. Dal terrazzo immaginate di vedere deliziose casette ed alberghi dai colori pastello aggrappati alla roccia che spiccano in mezzo ad una vegetazione rigogliosa ed un mare di un blu e verde incredibili. Portate con Voi la macchina fotografica. Al tramonto il sole scomparirà pian pianino nel mare ed il cielo assumerà dei colori mozzafiato.Non abbiate paura delle stradine tortuose della costiera. Qui parcheggerete l''automobile nel garage privato e la riprenderete alla Vs. partenza. Usufruirete di un comodo autobus (la fermata è vicina) che Vi porterà nel centro di Positano e da qui altri collegamenti Vi accompagneranno in altre meravigliose località quali Sorrento, Praiano, Amalfi, ecc. Se poi volete rilassarVi e mangiare al ristorante, sempre a pochi passi da casa a piedi, troverete ottimi locali, come "Il ritrovo" per chi ama il pesce e "La tagliata" per chi ama la carne, cucinata alla brace in maniera eccellente. E nel piccolo Market posto vicino casa potrete approfittarne per riempire la Vs. dispensa. Vi possiamo assicurare che Positano è un posto di sogno, una favola che diventa realtà e lo scorcio di panorama che vedrete dal terrazzo di casa Monticello resterà impresso nei Vs. occhi e nei Vs. cuori. I proprietari di casa sono meravigliosamente ospitali. Grazie Sig. Raffaele & family per le emozioni che ci fate vivere affittandoci la Vs. deliziosa casa, ubicata in luogo incantevole della costiera amalfitana. Un vero paradiso. Non vediamo l''ora di tornare, non appena ne avremo la possibilità. Rosa e Giuseppe." ##### rosa m. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### rosa m.

Inoltre esso è vicino alla fermata dell''autobus con il quale si può raggiungere il centro di Positano e vicino ci sono due negozietti con articoli alimentari e prodotti per la pulizia della casa.
