Idyllic coastal romantic escape
Review Submitted: November 19, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
The Villa was precisely as promised by our hospitable host, who could not do enough for us, both before our arrival and into our stay. Giovanni met us at the top of the stairs and assisted us with our bags. He took an obvious pride in the villa and spent time orientating us to the villa which was clean and serviced each day. Giovanni's pride extended to Positano and he happily shared his local knowledge on the eateries and places to shop and stock up on produce.
We enjoyed the cuisine at the local cafes followed by a bottle of Prosecco on the balcony each evening, when we were lucky enough to watch a firework display on a couple of nights with the sounds echoing throughout the town. It was also a great spot to set out for a wander around Positano, where we spent time in the many quality linen and shoe shops. We enjoyed the bus trip to Amalfi and another local bus trip on to Rovello.
I would recommend this property to any couple wanting a secluded escape but point out the need for reasonable fitness and good knees to cope with the many steps and sloping terrain.

Owner's Response: We at Casa San Matteo know that the main attraction is Positano with its beauty and its "dolce vita" life style, but don't forget that our guests like to be looked after with discretion and constant readiness. As the house owner, I am very pleased to know how well our English speaking manager/ housekeeper John (Giovanni) is capable to make our guests feel comfortable and relieve them from the unavoidable hustle caused by travelling in foreign countries. We are looking forward host you again in our wonderful Villa in Positano very soon.
