The communication was excellent the place was clean and the host is wonderful in every aspect. The location was amazing and transportation was easy. Two very good restaurants were near by.
Overall 11 out of 10.
We had a wonderful stay , our hostess was very accommodating, extremely friendly . She showed us around the village, where to buy groceries, catch the bus ect. The apartment was very comfortable, we were able to do washing and enjoy the small village . We also walked to Amalfi & Ravello
Great apartment. Lots of space for a family of 4 and having two full bathrooms is great (plus laundry!). Pontone is beautiful - views, access to walking trails, 20-30mins to Amalfi (on bus or foot), 2 great restaurants, etc. Berengere is a great host - apartment was fully equipped, she gave great advice on local attractions/options, and was very responsive (homemade welcome lemon gelato was a nice touch!). Just be warned that it’s in Pontone (not Amalfi) so be ready for lots of stairs!
Situated in a small village, about halfway up the cliffs above Amalfi, the view from the kitchen's balcony is fantastic. The property itself was clean and perfect for me and my wife along with our two daughters. I would highly recommend climbing the steps to the basilica and walking on to Ravello and down to Amalfi to catch the bus back. The views along this route are truly remarkable, and it's honestly what I had hoped Italy would look like. Our host was very friendly, greeted us with a delicious homemade Limoncello, and showed us where to find all the necessities in the small town square a few steps from the property.

This property was perfect for our 6 night stay on the Amalfi Coast. Clean, comfortable, and all the amenities listed were accurate. Beds were comfortable, the showers had great water pressure, and the kitchen was well stocked. Having a washing machine and line to dry clothes was very helpful. We loved the quieter neighborhood of Pontone and only had to descend/climb the stairs (for the physically fit) to get to the busier Amalfi. But the very BEST part of our stay was our hostess, Berengere. She graciously had the VRBO ready for us early to accomodate our arrival. She had delicious lemon sorbet and a lovely detox tea ready for us while she oriented us to our surroundings and supplied suggested activities. She walked us around the town of Pontone so we would know where to catch the bus, location of local restaurants, and the stairs to Amalfi. She even provided us with last minute bus tickets when the local shop had run out of them. She arranged, on our request, a private driver to pick us up from Naples to drive us to the VRBO. I've never had such personal service from a VRBO host. 10/10 recommend!
Our recent stay at Lemon in the Air was nothing short of magical!!! Nestled in Pontone, the apartment offers views of the sparkling sea and Ravello. Lemon in the Air is a hidden gem. The apartment is well furnished accommodating up to four people easily. The pictures are exactly as shown!!! The place has everything you need. Our host, Berengere, was amazing. She was in constant contact and answered all questions quickly. Upon arrival, she greeted us with homemade gelato, sat down with us and provided information about the town and the bus system, and then walked us around the quaint town showing us the different routes to explore. Pontone is located above Amalfi and you can walk down the stairs (many) to reach the town. As others mentioned, I would miss the last bus up. You can reach many of the other Amalfi coast towns via bus from Pontone/Amalfi OR via Ferry from Amalfi. Lemon in the Air was a perfect home base to relax and allow us to explore. We would highly recommend this location for your stay in the Amalfi Coast. (Plus, the Blue Bar has great food and Luca & Pepe are wonderful),
We absolutely loved our stay in Pontone! It’s such a beautiful, quiet little village and was the perfect escape from the crowds along the coast. Amalfi is only about a 30-minute walk away, and the walk down is absolutely gorgeous.
The flat was beautiful, spotless, and felt like the perfect place to come home to after a day exploring the Amalfi Coast. And our host, Bérengère, was wonderful! She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, was always quick to respond, and even arranged our transportation to and from the Naples airport, which made our trip so much easier.
Pontone ended up being one of our favorite parts of the trip. You get all the beauty of the Amalfi Coast without being surrounded by crowds every time you step outside. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Five stars simply aren’t enough for Bérengère and this wonderful place!
Everything was absolutely perfect! Host was so welcoming, thoughtful and informative, the flat was stunning, clean and came with gorgeous views and the town was so peaceful, picturesque and 25 min walk to Amalfi center. I would absolutely recommend this to a couple, friends traveling together or a small family. Would love to stay here again!
The host was awesome! Went above and beyond to make us welcome in her small town. Helped arrange an early taxi, directed us in detail on how to easily get to the property, and provided all the tips and tricks to getting around the coast. The property was beautiful and the location was great!
Number 1 place to stay near Amalfi. Convenient for all the Coast activities but nestled in the quiet Pontone Village. The 2b/2b apartment was completely modern with top shelf amenities and appliances. It was the PERFECT place for 2 couples to stay. The Host was extremely helpful in all matters and continued to provide a white-glove experience for our trip. We would not stay anywhere else.
Our stay at Lemon in the Air was great. Berengere was a very welcoming and helpful host - from the very tasty lemon sorbet and walking tour of Pontone on our arrival, to help and advice with the sometimes tricky Amalfi coast travel arrangements. The apartment was comfortable, modern and very well equipped. The very close and secure parking spot for our car was a welcome feature. We loved the quiet and relaxed atmosphere in Pontone, especially after the crowds and bustle of Amalfi, Ravello and Positano. It was a great base for hiking in mountains.
This place was amazing. Bérengère was a great host. She helped us with booking a driver to and from Naples. She met us at the home for check in with lemon sorbetto and limoncello that she made. She gave us recommendations and even offered to make dinner reservations for us. She walked around the town with us to show us all around after check in. The place is exactly as described and it was perfect. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone and hope to come back again.
Everything was set and ready for our arrival. BB was an amazing host giving us all the to do’s around the town and city. From giving us shuttle services with our delayed flight from Naples airport to providing different ways of transportation with bus schedules and routes. I loved the flat we stayed in and how cozy it was after a long day of walking. The only item I would note is not many buses drop off in Pontone or follow the bus schedule. We would be in Amalfi and the bus drivers would follow it maybe every other hour or two. Amalfi to Pontone is about a 30 minute walk on the stairs which was my personal favorite but it may not work for everyone.
Our host went above and beyond organizing a private taxi, a last minute Pompeii tour and lunch. She was absolutely amazing. At the apartment she had everything for us from coffee, sugar, lemon water and fresh lemon sorbet. She obviously took everything into consideration when designing the apartment and loves what she does. The view is amazing. It is about a 30 min walk down about 1000 stairs to amalfi. We are still in pain but a few days of it and you should be used to it.
If you have mobility issues, then this is not the place for you, however if you want a small, quaint authentic Italian hamlet - look no further! We can not say enough nice things about our host, she is lovely, and her apartment is clean, the beds are comfortable, and she was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any questions.The location is remote - there is no way to be in Pontone if you are not able to walk stairs, and manage hills! We easily climbed over 9000 stairs alone in our 10 days, and we used public transit often. (Download the Sita bus app - it’s hard to find bus tickets anywhere, and it will plan your route and allow you to buy tickets online).There is a store for groceries about 20 minutes away by foot - uphill back. It may sound as though I am complaining- we loved it! But I would be glad to have known these details beforehand just to ensure we were prepared.The two restaurants in town are very nice, with friendly family staff, and the Blue Bar is open daily where you can get a coffee, cocktails, snacks , and a limited amount of groceries.A wonderful memory for us of the Amalfi Coast
Berengere was an outstanding host. Exceptional in every way. If you’re considering this property/host, you cannot go wrong. Everything about our trip to the Amalfi coast exceeded our expectations and it all started with Berengere and Lemon in the Air. Her place was perfect for 2 couples. 2 separate bedrooms and 2 separate bathrooms. This place was away from the crowds but still close to everything. We walked or took the bus almost everywhere. We only took the car out once to go to Pompeii. Our host arranged parking for us next to the apartment for a small fee. She was there to greet us and show us around- with fresh lemon sorbet and homemade limoncello:) We asked for dinner recommendations each night depending on where we were planning to be that day and she not only gave us excellent recommendations but she made the reservations for as well! Everything she suggested/all her tips…everything was perfect. I’ve traveled A LOT and had some great experiences with hosts but this was by far my best experience with any host. Thank you for everything, Berengere!

Esta propiedad es 20/10 un lugar magnífico a pocos minutos de Amalfi centro. La dueña muy atenta nos explicó nos recibió muy amablemente y nos dio excelentes recomendaciones.
Our hostess was amazing. So welcoming for our arrival at 9pm into Pontone. She had so much information about the surrounding area and gave great detail around the transport options and available activities. The apt was also beautiful, everything was very high quality and recently renovated. The bed was my favorite. Super comfortable and I kept crawling back into bed during vacation and I am not really one to burn time off like that. The kitchen also had all of the amenities needed which made our mornings super convenient as we are not near the big cities. Would stay again and recommend it. This property is highly service focused. When we couldn't make our bus schedule to make it back to the airport she helped us find alternative solutions.
This was a great place with an incredible view. Berengere was very helpful and provided lots a things to do and how to navigate the buses. The stairs weren’t too bad going down. We never walked up (don’t miss that last bus lol) would definitely recommend!
An absolute dream VRBO experience from start to finish. Would full heartedly recommend to anyone who Was staying in the Amalfi coast but doesn’t want to be in the middle of the tourist action. The property is excellent and so is the host.
The cutest little place in the mountains, our host made the stay all worth it and so amazing. Perfect if you’re looking to get away from the touristy area and okay walking or taking the bus places. Also best lemon cello!!
Pontone Italy fantastic stay at Lemon in the Air!!!!!
The Owner Berengere is very organized with where to eat,visit while in Amalfi Coast, Salerno and along with directing us to do some good hiking.
Very open to finding whatever your need to enjoy your time in Pontone. A must stay truly a 5 out of 5.
