It was the best stay we had during our time on the Amalfi Coast. As soon as we booked our accommodation, we got in touch with Marco and Paisia, who were always happy to answer and clarify all our questions. They gave us very useful and important tips on how to get to Positano, what to see and do, how to navigate the coast, and much more. It really made the stay more enjoyable. They are incredible and really love what they do. The breakfast was one of the best we've had, made by Paisia. From incredible omelettes, to sourdough bread, crepes Suzette, and much more ... Just amazing! 🤌 The stay has an incredible view over Positano, and for us who love dogs, it was a very pleasant experience with their 2 huskies. We highly recommend this stay, and would definitely choose it again.

I think it would be hard to find a better view and a more comfortable, peaceful place anywhere on the coast than this home. The couple that runs it are some of the nicest people we met on our trip across Italy, or really anywhere for that matter. They made us amazing food and treated us to a truly comforting experience when we stayed. Also, Marco went out of his way to text us during our trip recommendations and advice while we explored Positano throughout the day and made sure we had no trouble arriving back to the house at the end of our day. Yes, there are a lot of stairs to reach the house, but the best things in life are worth the extra effort and if you just do it, you will not regret it. Cannot wait to return! Also, they have two amazing Huskies that live at the house and kept us company during our stay!

Stairs The AC wasn't working properly

Our hosts were warm and welcoming and always went out of their way to make us comfortable. We can't thank them enough for sharing their beautiful home with us. Our breakfast was outstanding every day and were met with wine in the evenings upon our return to the Villa. Their View is nothing short of spectacular. If you want an authentic experience, this is it! Not to mention, their dogs are just the sweetest!!!

We really didn't mind the stairs and we knew upfront that there were allot to climb to get from the road to the Villa. Once again, the views, the property and the hosts were well worth the climb!

Marco and Paisia are phenomenal hosts. The property is very cosy and the view is stunning. The room was large, had a balcony and the bed was good. Breakfast was delicious. It's a quiet place on top of a hill, away from the crowds. There are good restaurants relatively close. The property is clean and well taken care of. We enjoyed talking to Marco and Paisia about life in Positano. They really made us feel at home. Good place for an auhentic local experience. We'd love to come back again!

We loved our stay, but mind you that this is not for everyone. There's no way to avoid the 400 steps - that's 5 to 10 minutes of stair climbing. So, if you do choose this place, make sure to pack light! It's also a bit removed from the city center and the beaches - you can get there by foot, bus or car, but it takes some time. If you must have everything at your doorstep, this might not be the place for you.

Our stay at Colle dell’Ara absolutely exceeded expectations. The hosts Paisia and Marco are lovely and very accomodating. Everything about the room was perfect. The view is spectacular, easily one of the best views in Positano. They have a lift for your bags so you do not have to carry them up the 398 steps. Trust me though, the stairs are worth it for the view! The breakfast included was delicious, fresh omelette every morning with Crossaints, donuts and many other things!! The place is situated very close to a bus stop and that bus takes you into the centre of Positano. Their two dogs Arya and Horus both very cute too, two huskies is a bonus to your stay :). Thank you Colle dell’Ara we would absolutely stay here again.

Nothing!

It located up high in a very tranquil gorgeous area above the beaches. The vineyards and gorgeous greenery that surround this villa are so relaxing and romantic. The inside is impeccable and Paisia and Marco are the most kind hospitable hosts ever! Horos and aria are their gorgeous huskies that warmed my heart from the second I arrived making me feel like I was home. The attention I got was like no other- they make every effort to welcome you and treat you like a family!

The place was lovely and had gorgeous views, the room was spacious with a big washroom and a lovely little balcony. The patio was perfect to relax in the evening. The owners and staff were beyond hospitable, and we loved the dogs. The breakfasts were out of this world delicious and there was so much food! The winch to bring up and down your luggage was very welcome.

The location, while beautiful, was quite challenging to get to, the infrequent (1/hour) buses would regularly drive past as they were always full. Impssible to hail a cab. If you choose to walk all the way down to the town, bring water, its a long way with very little shade. The stairs (398!) from the street to the accommodation were really daunting, enough that you would think twice about making the journey more than once or twice a day max. The ad stated laundry facilities but there were none available. The bedroom didn't have the greatest internet connection and there was no television, if that sort of thing bothers you.

Gorgeous island-top property, with AMAZING views! Delicious, filling breakfast, comfortable bed and cool view when waking up! The host is engaging and funny, the area is very nice to walk down to this small village, Montepertuso, outside Positano. We had two amazing dinners there. We are reasonably active and have stayed at many properties with a lot of stairs or hiking. We found the stairs doable if you weren’t in a hurry and took some breaks. It became easier as the stay went on. We also brought only backpacks and personal items, which made it much easier. The view when you get to the top, the kind and charming staff, and the comfortable stay was well worth it all.

Nothing!

A beautiful location high above the city. Easy access from local bus with reliable and timely service down to Positano. Marco was amazing and catered to our needs. His food was delicious and truly appreciated our time in his home.
