We had a wonderful stay! The views were unbeatable. The kitchen was perfect to cook in and the villa was incredibly spacious with rooms to spare. Roberto and Rosella went above and beyond to be sure our stay was perfect. Highly recommend this villa.

Dan come tutti gli altri ospiti è stato informato all'atto della prenotazione che villa ibiscus è a 90 scalini sotto la strada carrozzabile ed è disposta su tre livelli collegati da scale interne. Nonostante questo il suo gruppo includeva persone con problemi. Non sto a descrivere lo stato in cui hanno lasciato materassi e bagni senza nemmeno avvertirmi dello scempio che avrei trovato.

Beautiful villa with amazing views of Positano & the sea from every balcony. Perfect size & well-equipped for our family of 7. Lots of stairs of course, but manageable & close to shops, restaurants & the beach! Thank you Roberto & Maria for a wonderful week!

This house is perched on the cliff with magnificent views from every room. It is spacious and comfortable with plenty of room for our party of 6 with each room having a private bathroom. It is not suitable for anyone that can’t navigate stairs!!It was our first time in Positano so we had a little trouble navigating how to find it but Maria was very helpful. The kitchen is a little small for a large group but we managed and is well equipped. The location is only one level down from the main road so relatively easy to get to restaurants and bars. The air conditioning was welcome as we stayed in July and it was hot.

Liked: Location
We spent 9 days in Positano. The villa was in a great location to access the harbor, shops and walking distance to the beaches. The views from the villa were excellent, it was clean and well maintained. Maria who manages the villa was a huge help to arrange transportation when needed, made reservations for us, and one option was to have a home cooked Italian four course meal she and her daughter prepared. The food was excellent and well done. The host was easy to contact and promptly responded when we wanted something or had questions. Each room had its own bathroom facilities, well supplied and clean. Due to length of our stay, they changed towels mid-way through. The kitchen was well supplied for our needs.

Incredible home I can not recommend enough

Roberto's home was nothing short of a dream during our stay in Positano. Of all our visits, this was the best place we stayed and we can't wait to return again! Beside the villa's historic charm, the location is hard to beat. I recommend this stay to anyone traveling either as a couple or with a bigger group.

The villa location was perfect! (Only 90 steps down from the main road & shopping, closest to Da Vincenzo.) The main beach was about 250 steps down, which were easy to navigate. Maria greeted us upon arrival with the arranged luggage porters. Do not skip this help, & highly recommend taking 2 small - medium sized bags versus a huge one. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking/ morning coffee. I recommend Positano Cafe at the top of the stairs for a morning coffee and delicious pastry to bring back and enjoy on your balcony. Maria was quick to respond with any of our questions or needs. Do not hesitate to book this dream villa!!! Thank you Maria and Roberto for a perfect and dreamy stay...we have memories to last a lifetime! Grazie mille!

Apartment was great. Balconies on every floor with fantastic views. The owner and his team were helpful with all our questions and needs. The beds were very comfortable and rooms had ac and fans, which were much appreciated on several days. Apartment is not too many steps down from the main road through town. Kitchen had plenty of dishes, spices etc. A very pleasant place to stay!

Stunning Villa

We loved this villa so much - each bedroom has its own floor, patio, and bath. It's very private and all the views are breathtaking. The antique furnishings are gorgeous. The location is perfect - not far above the ferry and main beach. We hired Marco to give us a tour and it was one of the highlights of our trip. He had wonderful recommendations as well and helped us coordinate our transportation.

Wonderful Location

Perfect location. The villa worked very well for 2 couples! Loved all the terraces! Definitely not a place for anyone much over 70 unless you are physically fit (but that’s pretty much true of Positano in general). Maria did a great job promptly answering our questions and arranging our departure. We had a fantastic time.

The Villa was every bit as beautiful and more than the pictures depict! We LOVED our stay!

Roberto and his team of Maria and Marco are the perfect hosts. They worked hard to make our stay warm, inviting and as comfortable as home. They arranged for cars, porters and excursions as requested. The dream team! We loved our stay immensely and hope to be back soon! Grazie! 😃

Great Location

Loved the location and the amazing views. There was a lack of communication with Maria the manager and also Marco was supposed to come by and give us some ideas of what to do in the area but he never showed up. I just wish the communication was better.

Breathtaking Retreat in Positano

My family of 6 stayed here for a week. It was breathtakingly beautiful; the villa & the town! The villa had plenty of room for all of us with an extra bedroom we didn’t use. The balconies are wonderful and lent themselves to many glasses of wine, card games and meals outside. The kitchen had what we needed for our visit. We cooked many nights. Warning that Positano has many, many steps!! You really need to be fit to navigate the town & the steps. I highly recommend this villa for families and small groups. Lots of air conditioning on all 3 levels too!

Authentic Italian Casa

Although the VRBO pictures show this place with beautiful setting, it’s not until you first open the door do you realize how incredibly beautiful the setting is over looking the Mediterranean Sea. The location is perfect with restaurants above and below the location. Roberto’s place is just what you would imagine an Italian home to be. Maria was also very helpful setting up our day trip to Pompei. This was our first time to Italy and this place made our family experience perfect. Be sure to book early.

Unbelievable views!

Our family of seven enjoyed our week at the villa. The entire villa was just beautiful and we never got sick of the sea views. The property is very comfortable for seven adults. We had plenty of space to have group time as well as privacy.The property caretakers Marco and Maria did so much to make our stay enjoyable and fun. We enjoyed getting to know them. Take Marco up on his offer to book some dinner reservations as we always received great service and food going with his choices. Maria also cooked an amazing meal for us at the villa one night.Best vacation ever!

I hate writing this review because I want Villa Ibiscus to remain an undiscovered treasure. If you’ve seen the movie Enchanted April, it has that feel—with spectacular straight on views of the Bay of Positano from every room, multiple wide terraces and balconies filled with bougainvillea, hibiscus and jasmine. Sitting on the terrace in the morning with pastries from just up the hill, you ask yourself if this isn’t still a dream and if this is the most impossibly beautiful villa you’ve ever been lucky enough to rent.And in addition to the views and terrace, the rooms are large and airy and the bathrooms big with plenty of counters and big rainforest style showers. The bedrooms are separated out so that couples have privacy and the bottom level with the kitchen (and yes another terrace and sitting room) is perfect with a small bedroom for the moody teenager. Unquestionably big enough for 3 couples plus one. In summary, it’s a place with the fine pattina of an Italian painting, perfect for someone trying to escape an antiseptic modern Positano hotel with friends and family. As with anyplace in Positano, it requires being fit enough to manage some stairs and finding the place requires some early planning with Mr. Roberto the owner and the lovely Maria Dolores, the guest services manager.

Great location and beautiful views!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this villa and couldn't have made a better choice! The location of the villa was exactly where we wanted to be and the views of the sea from every patio were absolutely beautiful. The villa was very quaint and had everything we needed. Our trip was a last minute decision but Roberto was very helpful with planning transportation to and from the villa and was always quick to answer any questions. Marco and Maria were also both great and provided us with lots of useful information. We hope to visit again someday in the future! Mark and Karen June 2017
