Nancy and I really enjoyed the apt especially the view from the terrace. The unit was very clean and bed was comfortable. The location of the unit was perfect and the entire building was manicured perfectly.

James and Lori,

Everything was perfect. The Bella Vista apartment was just as it looked in the photos and we enjoyed every minute of our stay there. Paola and Anna were wonderful and very helpful, as were the family at the alimentari down the street.

Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer! We want to especially thank you for recommending Gennaro Fusco Taxi for transportation. He drove us from Naples to Positano and back, and he also took us to Pompeii (on very short notice on our part, as my husband was sick one day and we had to change our plans). We would highly recommend him to anyone who needs transportation to Positano. Since he is a lifelong resident of Positano, he is very knowledgeable and helpful. We were so glad that we did not choose to rent a car when we saw how narrow and winding the roads were and how fast everyone drove, as well as parking being at a premium in Positano.

Thank you James, for recommending that we not get a car. We also enjoyed a wonderful meal at a restaurant called Mediterraneo on Via Pasitea(recommended by the captain of the boat tour that we took to Capri). The food was excellent and there was a delightful guitar player who went around to all the tables singing in Italian and talking with everyone. The sons of the owner also came around and gave everyone a lot of attention and made recommendations about menu choices. We would definitely recommend this place to others.

James and Lori, What can we say, we had a fantastic time during our trip to Rome and the beautiful Amalfi Coast. The villas of Bellavista and Il Salone were perfect and both Anna and Paula were wonderful. All of your local recommendations and suggestions were spot on and the trip was magical. We spent three days lounging at the various beaches and enjoying the local beach restaurants, one day on private launch to Capri and your suggested restaurant on the other side of island, (one of the best meals of all), ferry to Amalfi (forgettable) but pure magic and wonder in Ravello and another truly spectacular meal for lunch at Cupo Cosimo.

Drinks on terrace at San Pietro hotel was a treat and a highlight. The Positano car service was excellent, prompt pick-up in Naples and a combined ride back with side trip to Pompeii. Naples was not very nice but we enjoyed an afternoon at San Francesco al Monte poolside and dinner on site before heading home. Thank you for all of your help in coordinating a truly memorable trip. We are already thinking about a return to Italy in May of 2013, with Florence, Tuscany and perhaps Venice on the trip plan. Bellissimo!!!!

Within five minutes of accepting the keys I fell. Luckily Paula was close by and had a doctor at the villa within minutes. She was marvelous as was Anna, and although I couldn't be very mobile, I couldn't have had a more beautiful place to recuperate. I had some difficulty with your web link but your service was wonderful and James couldn't have been more patient and helpful. This was by far the most satisfying rental I have experienced and look forward to next year when hopefully I can plan a return trip. Any shortcomings in the trip were certainly attributable to me exclusively.

Hi Lori and James, Thanks for asking about my husband, Tom. He is much better from having shingles, but he really was not up to foreign travel. I, however, am so happy that I went. I really loved staying at Bellavista. It's just a superb apartment and I'm often daydreaming about the view now that I'm home. It seems unreal now. I miss it so much! I just filled out the online survey and wanted to say thank you. It was a pleasure booking through via travel design.

Everything was so expertly arranged. Paola was wonderful and the arrival instructions were so easy and everything went so smoothly. Paola set up a cooking class for us at Il Ritrovo and it was one of the highlights of our trip. It was pouring rain that day so it was the perfect day to be up the mountain cooking. The information you provided on what to do and see and restaurants was all very helpful. By the way, we randomly met the couple who stayed in Il Saraceno one day while walking the steps of Positano.

It was like meeting old friends and they told us how much they loved it. I think for me, though, traveling with a friend, Bellavista was more ideal. I guess everything works out for a reason. But we took a private boat ride down the Amalfi Coast and Il Saraceno looked perfectly situated. Thanks again! I wish I could book another trip to Positano right now for the spring/summer, but I'll have to settle for staring at the two paintings that I bought of the town. I will definitely recommend via travel design to my friends. All the best,

James, We have just returned to Houston after a fantastic time in Italy. The apartment was everything we had hoped and more. The weather was wonderful and there were several days we parked on the terrace with books and didn't leave. Paola and Anna were the best and the cute ladies at the little market fell in love with my husband. Hope to return for a longer stay. Passed on info about the apartment and Via Travel Design to several friends- hope they use you.

Lori and Jim: It was truly fabulous and the pics on the website do even begin to do it justice. It was an absolutely spectacular vacation and Bellavista is a place I will remember with great fondness and hope to visit again. I would like to go back and spend some time in Amalfi/Ravello but I don't see any via properties there listed on your web site. Is that correct? Thanks,

About this Villa

Positano is a jewel of the Amalfi Coast and the destination of choice for those seeking the romance and splendor of this magical seaside.

In the 1880s Positano was a sleepy, undiscovered village situated picturesquely between Sorrento and Amalfi. Back then this grand palazzo was the first hotel to welcome travelers to the small fishing town. After World War I it was acquired by its present owners, which include a costume and set designer for famed director Franco Zeffirelli. In 1995 painstaking remodeling began to convert the hotel into seven modern luxury apartments that reflect the high style of both the owners and the town. 

Today the apartments may be rented through our site either individually (Bellavista, Belvedere, Carina, Il Salone, La Terrazza, Rosella and Vista), or combined as the Marconi Apartments for larger groups, offering 11 bedrooms, 10 baths, and an assortment of terraces for group dinners.

About Positano

"Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone". John Steinbeck. Built around a small curving bay on a steep hill overlooking the Li Galli islands, Positano is located in the heart of the Costiera Amalfitana. Once a sleepy fishing village, Positano is one of the most picturesque towns on the Amalfi coast. The typical Moorish style houses are lined up along the slopes facing the sea. Steep steps, narrow lanes, courtyards and gardens create this magical village.
