Perfect spot for family

The balcony overlooking the water was amazing. We were lucky to arrive during the full moon and the moon didn’t disappoint. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

I'm so glad to hear you loved your stay at Elio property in Fornillo! The views of Positano are indeed breathtaking, and there's something magical about being able to enjoy such scenery right from your accommodation. It sounds like you found the perfect balance between the tranquility of Fornillo and the vibrant energy of the town center. I completely agree that having easy access to both the beaches and the heart of Positano makes the location ideal for exploring everything the area has to offer. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll to grab a gelato or enjoying the sunset from a beachfront café, it sounds like you had a fantastic time. It’s also wonderful to hear about your host's exceptional hospitality. Having someone who goes out of their way to accommodate special requests can truly enhance the experience and make you feel at home. It’s those personal touches that often leave the most lasting impressions. Thank you for sharing your recommendation! I'm sure others will appreciate your insights and consider Elio property for their own stay in Positano. It sounds like a gem! If you have any other tips or favorite spots in the area, I’d love to hear them!

We had some challenges with the host and did not receive communication the day before check in except to contact them on what’s app. No communication about trash disposal at all. Day before we checked out no communication about check out until we reached out.

Hi Tonya, It was honestly disappointing to read your feedback, as it does not reflect the communication standard we normally provide to our guests. I understand that you may have been frustrated when you did not receive an immediate reply to your call. However, we also have our own responsibilities and, occasionally, we may be unable to respond within a few seconds. This does not mean that we are unavailable or unwilling to assist. In your case, the necessary arrival information was provided to you in advance and on time. It was also important to read and follow those instructions rather than waiting until the last moment to discover that you had gone approximately 30 metres beyond our entrance. We had explained several times that we do not constantly monitor messages through all booking platforms. For this reason, we specifically ask guests to use WhatsApp, which allows us to see and respond to messages directly from our phones. We also provided you with three contact numbers. What is difficult for us to understand is that you were able to contact us successfully again just two minutes before entering the property. Had you contacted us one hour earlier, using any of the contact numbers provided, we could very easily have assisted you and avoided the confusion altogether. We are always happy to accept constructive criticism when something is genuinely our responsibility. At the same time, we believe that a fair review should also acknowledge when a misunderstanding results from instructions not being read or followed. We wish you safe and pleasant travels in the future. Domenico

Wonderful Villa

This villa was absolutely amazing. Stayed here with 3 other friends. We had plenty of space and utilized the balcony many times. Location was great. We walked everywhere. 10mins to Fornilla beach and 20min walk to Spiaggia beach. Close walk to great restaurants as well. Domenico was extremely accommodating and the whole check in and check out process was extremely easy. Would definitely book again and would highly recommend!

Positano apartment

Loved the views from this Positano apartment. The apartment has small air conditioning units in each bedroom but we did not need them during our stay because the apartment cooled each night nicely. The kitchen was equipped to make small meals but we only used it for coffee and some breakfast items. We did use the washer and hung everything to dry which was fine.The apartment is very close to some great restaurants and the beach as well as a short walk into the main area of Positano. Would stay here again.

Hello Loraine Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views and convenient location of Villa Elio. While we don’t claim to be a luxury property, what truly makes this house special is its unique setting—just above the quiet and scenic Fornillo Beach and the well-loved Bagni da Ferdinando, offering a more relaxed seaside experience. Our location is one of the highlights, with easy walking access to all of Positano’s main attractions, and just steps from the lively Fornillo area, filled with restaurants, bars, and food stores. We’re happy you had a comfortable stay and would love to welcome you back again! Domenico
