The villa was beautiful. Although the kitchen was old in nature it was suitable for preparing any meals. Our only complaint about the stay there was we think Matteo should supply the villa with some basic staples like milk, butter, bread etc. Matteo was great. He was very informative at the beginning. The only problem with the villa is something that no one can change. It is 73 steps to the villa from the street. If you want to go to the beach via stairs you have another 369 stairs to navigate. You can go by the road but be prepared to walk uphill from the beach which is substantial. There is a bus that can take you to your villa which comes every half hour and proved very helpful on certain days. However you will be challenged by the number of people who take the bus. We loved Positano and our villa. Ciao.

Amazing house, perfect location, everything and more!
We had the best stay at Matteo’s house! He was an amazing host and was always available for whatever we needed. The house is so charming, and you cannot beat the views from the balcony. It’s in an amazing location, close enough to walk into Positano main area but so quiet and peaceful not being in the main square. There are a ton of great local restaurants in the area, we preferred these over going into Positano proper. 10/10 stay and will definitely go back!

Wonderful Stay with Incredible Views of Positano
You will love this charming and spacious villa with huge outdoor and indoor space that provides wonderful views of Positano from every level and from every bedroom. VRBO host Matteo was very friendly and takes great pride in his villla. He gave us a tour of the entire house with instructions on how to use everything. Matteo also provided us with nearby restaurant recommendations and also even helped arrange a private transportation for our group to Bomerano. Grazie mille, Matteo! The lovely villa is exactly as pictured. Kitchen and multiple living room areas downstairs with a half-bathroom and a huge outdoor deck with sweeping views of Positano. Upstairs, three bedrooms: each bedroom with their own balcony so everyone has the same incredible views. There are air conditioner units in each bedroom if needed. There is a 150 Euro cleaning fee which should be paid in cash, but that fee is fully disclosed up front when you book the rental on the PDF agreement. Tip: if coming from the beach, don't take the Google map route (which will be shorter but vertical: all stairs). Take the slightly longer route up to Viale Pasitea which curves around. It's a more gradual ascent (easier on knees), plus you get to see all the great stores and restaurants. Overall, our group of 5 adults had a completely lovely stay in Positano. I HIGHLY recommend Matteo's Villa on Via Santa Caterina (located between the Hotel Punta Regina and the Chiesa di Santa Caterina). Would definitely stay again!

The only thing more magical and wonderful than the property and location is the owner, Matteo! From arranging dinner reservations and suggesting points of interest to visit and paths less traveled, to getting us the best driver when needed, Matteo is in a class of his own. Grazie Matteo, sei fortissimo!

Postino perfect spot!
Our family enjoyed 10 wonderful days in this perfectly located villa owned by Matteo, who was amazingly accommodating with us and very accessible during our whole stay. The villa affords you a panoramic view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, complete with sights and sounds of everyday life. We planned to experience this area as though we actually lived there, with local shopping,our own pasta making and cooking as well as frequenting some of the neighborhood restaurants. You would be well advised to have some Italian under your belt so that you can interact with the locals, which only adds to the already amazing geography of Positano. Bella Positano! Grazie mille Matteo!

Wonderful villa
We had such a wonderful time at Matteo’s Villa. 6 adults stayed comfortably with all the luxury we needed. Beautiful big kitchen lounging areas, large bedrooms with air conditioning, fabulous patio with the most outstanding views. Our Host Matteo was most accommodating friendly and charming. He arranged car and restaurant reservations for us and was at our beckon call if we needed anything. We would highly recommend this villa. Was in a great location close to the town and relatively short walk to the beach. Thank you Matteo!

My wife and another couple had an amazing stay at Villa Dolphin. The home and patio is gorgeous, clean, and lots of space. The home is also located on the quieter side of Positano which is nice to be out of the touristy area but also easily accessible when you want to drop in. Matteo, our host was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the entire trip. Highly recommend and Connor wait to come back!

Matteo was a wonderful host. He was very helpful and responsive during the booking and planning process, check in and out was very easy and during our stay he kept checking in to see if everything was ok. The villa was beautiful, in a perfect location with great restaurants on both sides of the villa. Views were outstanding and was perfect for our family of five. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Positano!

Wonderful villa!
A wonderful villa - amazing location, spectacular view, and a very thoughtful and great host. The stairs up are worth it every one bit! However, for the price we thought it needs some love. Also, the AC didn’t work in one room for our entire 5 day stay and we had to keep shutting off the electricity to get it to work for a couple hours. The dryer did not work properly either (later figured out it was because we had to keep shutting the electricity off), one shower was impossible to use half the time because it was running boiling water, and the microwave was dirty (had red sauce inside upon arrival). Also, upon arrival we were told there was a tourist fee and cleaning fee that we had to pay cash for. We were also warned that if would use more than the allowed electricity, we would have to pay extra - which I think is a little odd to charge for considering the price of the villa.

So happy we found this amazing place!
We stayed there the last week of April and it was wonderful! We were a little nervous beforehand, hoping our choice for the week (based on a few pictures and reviews) would live up to our dreams. But as soon as we met Matteo and he gave us the grand tour, we were thrilled! The place was beautifully decorated and maintained, much larger than we expected, and the views were storybook perfect! The villa was in a great location - very quiet but also quite close to several amazing restaurants and a short 5-10 min walk to the central shopping district. All the taxi drivers and other locals we told about where we were staying also said we were in the perfect spot. Matteo was a great host- he was friendly and very responsive to all our questions before and throughout our stay. He welcomed us with delicious fresh local oranges and lemons, which were a delightful treat each day. We spent a busy week visiting all around the Amalfi coast and Capri, but enjoyed returning each evening and waking up each morning to the amazing views. Whether you just want to relax around the villa, cook in the spectacular kitchen, or dine out and explore, we’d highly recommend this place to stay!

This villa was exactly what we were looking for and Matteo was a fabulous host. The location is ideal for being close enough to everything, while also having your space from the crowds. There are many choices for good restaurants within a few minutes walk - the kind of places where you are made to feel like a local. We cannot say enough great things about Matteo - from the pre-arrival arrangements, meeting us for check-in, providing restaurant recommendations, to sharing aperitifs at the local beach club. He truly helped make a great trip even better and we hope to stay in touch.

Beautiful views, great location, wonderful host
When staying in Positano, it’s important to stay where you’ll be able access your property door without climbing too many steps from the street. It’s also good to make sure you are close enough to the restaurants, shops and beaches without being in the middle of the action. This home is in a great location. Matteo and his family have owned and cared for this property for many years, and welcome you like family. The home is lovely and has everything you need. If you come at the hottest time of the year, keep in mind that the bedrooms are air conditioned but the main living spaces aren’t. This seems typical in Positano which I didn’t know. Most days, the doors and windows can open to a lovely breeze coming in off the water. Everything was there that one needed, I realize after staying in European properties that the mattresses are very firm, just keep that in mind. The home has lovely furnishings and accessories, I felt like I was staying at a family home. I recommend staying at this property, you will love it.
