Our family of 8 stayed at Villa Graziella, from 8/13-8/20. Words and photos cannot really describe what a beautiful home this is. The view is amazing. This is the family home of owner, Clementina.
The home has 4 bedrooms, 3 with in-suit bathrooms and 1 large hall bathroom across from the 4th bedroom; washer/dryer combo in one of the bathrooms; and a nice kitchen, that was stocked with basic necessities: coffee, eggs from the on-site (but unobtrusive) chicken coop, milk, yogurt, bread and some juices. The spacious outside patio runs the length of the home. . There is also a refreshing freshwater pool and outdoor shower. (Note, there are about 2 flights of stairs to get down to the property). They have a small lift that can bring your luggage up and down for you. The views and the peacefulness of this home will be hard to match.
Below the patio, are two additional seating areas, and a large vegetable garden and multiple olive and fig trees.
We requested a home chef for our first evening as we knew we would arrive late after traveling from the US. There is an outdoor kitchen on the property. Luigi, Clementina’s son is a chef and made an unbelievable dinner. It included vegetables from the garden and seafood he caught that morning. We tried to book him a second night for a pizza dinner, but he was busy. In high season, everyone is working very hard, so plan ahead.
Clementina, was always very helpful - a WhatsApp inquiry away. One day, Luigi and assistant were picking all the tomatoes and making homemade pasta sauce in the outdoor kitchen.
The property is high above Positano. You can walk down or take a bus from the top of the driveway - it can be very crowded in high season. We usually cabbed back up. There are two nice restaurants, grocery store and a small pizza parlor about a 5–10-minute walk from the house. I would not recommend renting a car if you have not experienced driving here before -it is daunting. We were happy with the cabs and public transportation once we figured it out.
It is truly an amazing home and a wonderful place that let our family be together, but with lots of space to have alone time as well. Do not hesitate to stay there. I already want to go back.
