Avis Positano Private Villa with Pool and Sea Views

We spent a week in Positano here and loved every minute of it. Breathtaking views, charming interior and a pool to cool off in after climbing the many stairs of Positano. Walking distance to several outstanding restaurants and shops and mere minutes to the beach. Pasquale was the best host you could ask for. Attentive, responsive and professional. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful Villa!! Made many family memories. Pasquale was very receptive and always available with any questions we had. The Villa was spacious and clean with amazing views!! Kitchen had everything needed to make meals. We bought groceries right down the street. Many great restaurants near by (shortcut down steps.) The pool was so nice to have, and bigger than we thought it appeared in pics. Loved having washer/dryer and AC!! Hope we can stay here again one day!!!

Where do I start...the Villa is a slice of heaven in a quaint neighborhood near the top of Positano. There is a local bar, market, coffee shop and restaurant several steps away. The walk down to Positano center was filled with many cafes, shops and restaurants and amazing views along the way. It is about a 20 minute walk to town following the road which we found easier than steps. Once in town it is easy to catch a bus back up to the villa with the bus stop steps away. You can also take a taxi but they can be costly. The home itself is beautiful and well represented in the online photos. We spent time at the pool relaxing and enjoying the amazing view, used the well appointed kitchen to prepare appetizers with our purchases from the market. It is charming, clean and offers enough modern conveniences while maintaining its Italian charm. I will warn about the mosquitos and suggesting bringing bug spray! We all were very bit up. But the best part by far is Pasquale, the property manager! We communicated in advance to make dinner reservations, arrange transport and a tour of the coast. He greeted us on arrival; helping with luggage and giving us all the details we needed to get around Positano. Pasquale always responded quickly and kindly. While there he helped arrange taxis, a boat tour and so much more!! We will definitely be back...not just because of how much we loved Positano but because of the warmth and friendship extended by Pasquale!

We spent a week here with our two sons and their wives. The property was excellent and our host (Pasquale) was very good. He was extremely helpful in making reservations, his recommendations were great, he has many connections including an excellent driver (Michael). The villa is high up the hill but away from all the crowds and there are cafes and grocery shops very close by. The bus stop is also very close. The villa was outstanding and very true to the photos on VRBO. The pool was the perfect temperature for cooling off in the afternoon. Highly recommend this property!

While the views and the Villa were spectacular, Pasquale made our visit to Positano more than we could’ve ever imagined. He is a great guy who was relentless in helping us make reservations and helping us move around Positano. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone because of its beauty and the owner himself. Pasquale, you outdid yourself. Thanks for a great time. Talk soon. Dan V.

The house is just as described and the description doesn’t emphasize enough the fantastic view and feeling of privacy. Pasquale greeted us and was helpful throughout the trip.

The property itself was perfect for our needs - it had 3 bedrooms each with it's own bathroom, a full kitchen, common area, and small private pool. We arrived very early before checkin but the manager met with us to store our bags on the property, and even took us to get some coffee at the local bar. His communication was good. The property came with a housekeeper who would clean the entire property while we were out during the day. She was very nice and helped rummage up some full size umbrellas for us during the rainstorms we experienced. We liked the location, but we all like walking and it's a walk to the beach / city center. You will get a workout on the long stairways living here, though of course you can catch the local bus which is easy as the property is right on the loop. What we liked about the location is the view, and also proximity to a bus stop, bar, post office, pharmacy, corner store, grocery store, and some local restaurants. There were some significant negatives. The first were that one of the rooms had a mold and sewer-like smell. The occupants of this room felt the air was unsafe but just sort of endured it. When their door was open we could detect the smell emanating from the room, and any housekeeper or manager would know that there is a problem there. The occupants of another room reported the bed to be extremely hard, with one of them having bruises on each hip from sleeping. The 3rd room had no problems. Another "issue" is that in the housekeeping service is paid for by the guests as an extra fee, but instead of this being listed in the VRBO cost section, it is buried in the description of the property. This fee came as a surprise to us. Yes, it is technically in the long description of the property, but it's the first property any of us had ever stayed at that had a fee in the text rather than the VRBO cost section and we thought it felt a bit dishonest. So overall we had a mixed experience.

We had the best family vacation in Positano at the Villa Gaia! Pasquale was very responsive from the start. He helped us plan a chef to come for dinner, a babysitter, and even a car pickup from the airport. All before we even arrived. Pasquale was there to meet us when we arrived and gave us the keys and showed us around the beautiful villa. The pool was a treat after climbing all the stairs in Positano! The location is great! Several small grocery stores, a bar, restaurants, post office, bus stops, all very close by. We were a family of 6 plus a 2 1/2 year old and Villa Gaia had good common space to hang out together but also had the different levels to give everyone some privacy. Rosie, the housekeeper is a wonderful lady! This is the place to stay! I almost don't want to tell anyone else about it, so it will be available again when we go back again!

We had an amazing week (again) in this villa. This was our 2nd time staying here. It checks all the boxes - three bedroom, pool, functional kitchen, cleaning services/laundry, beautiful view, and right on the internal bus route if you’d rather not walk up/down stairs. Pasquale made it easy for us organizing transportation, sitters, etc. we’ll look forward to returning!

The property and staff surpassed our expectations. The host Pasquale was beyond helpful during our entire stay. Was quick with responding to our needs and helped us navigate Positano with ease. Rosie the cleaner greeted us each morning with a contagious smile which we looked forward to seeing each day. I would recommend this property to anyone interested in staying here. We were sad to leave but will definitely come back again.
