Beautiful Positano hillside apartment!
The apartment is in an excellent location on the hillside in Positano with impressive scenic sea views. The stairs to the apartment are lined with lemon trees and an array of flowers. The walk down the hill to the very centre of Positano takes around 5 minutes with breathtaking, spectacular views! The apartment is more spacious than we expected - perfect for a couple. The kitchen is fully equipped with indoor and outdoor dining, large terrace and a sun lounger. The double room was very comfortable with a separate toilet and shower. There were two hairdryers, plenty of towels (including two beach towels) and lots of shelf space/wardrobes for storage. Raffaele the owner was extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. He organised our transfer from Naples airport (something I highly recommend). Such a nice, genuine host! We stayed in Positano for one week, but we could have stayed longer because there was so much to do. Buses conveniently stop nearby and the local restaurant Casa Mele offers a superb tasting menu! Our holiday was a dream come true! We hope to visit again one day and stay in Raffaele’s apartment. Highly recommended!

A lovely apartment with a beautiful view.
Excellent: a holiday destination with stunning views. A short walking distance away from the direct hustle and bustle of the town. Pack shoes you can walk comfortably in and expect to climb up lots of steps.

Just perfect!
We were so pleased we had chosen Casa Montechiaro for our stay in Positano. My husband and I have found it impossible to think of anything that could be improved upon. The location is about a ten minute walk down into Positano (lovely views all the way), can be a little exhausting coming back in hot weather though, so you need to have a decent level of fitness especially to manage the steps up to the apartment. I would definitely choose Casa Montechiaro again though, the views from the balcony were amazing and we could have sat there all day. Its position means that it is in the shade in the afternoon, which we were glad of, otherwise the apartment would be much to hot in the evening, we stayed here at the end of May and we didn't need to use the air conditioning. Everything you need for a relaxing break is here. If there was one thing that was a little annoying, was the sound of dogs barking quite frequently, it didn't disturb us to much but the noise just spoilt the tranquillity of the area at times (don't let this put you off, this is an amazing apartment). Raffaele and Angela were fantastic hosts, always available if you have any questions. Visited Sorrento on the bus (great for shopping and much cheaper than Positano) just one tip here, whenever you go somewhere on the bus, don't leave it to late for your return, the queues can get very long in the late afternoon. Capri itself was a little disappointing - to crowded, enjoyed the boat ride more. Went with Positano Boats (based on the beach) a small boat with just about 12 people, more intimate and friendly, we were able to go for a swim off the boat and get close to points of interest around the island. Fantastic places to eat in Positano, Casa Mele the closest, not cheap but amazing food (if you are familiar with Master Chef then this is the kind of food served, need to book though!), service exceptional. We have fantastic memories of our holiday here and I am certain we will be back one day, hopefully back to Casa Montechiaro.

Fantastic views and spotless apartment
I'd read all the previous reviews and wasn't disappointed. This was just perfect after a busy few days in Venice and Rome. The location is fantastic- just 10 minutes walk into the centre, 5 mins from bus stop , 15 mins from beach. There are 130 steps up to the apartment so be prepared for this or pay for a Porter. However this is why the view is spectacular. We spent hours in the mornings (the sun is there from early to around 1pm) and late evenings on the terrace, watching the boats in the bay below. And it's so quiet given the height but just around the corner from town- so all the amenities but also no noise, other than the cockerels. The apartment is spotless, well equipped kitchen, large fridge, towels hairdryer and bedding. The provisions left were very welcome as we arrived early evening and didn't need to venture out after our journey as Angela had left enough food and drink for our first meal. Raffaelle was in regular contact by email to check in but wasn't at all intrusive We had such a relaxing break and as soon as you sit outside , above the lemon groves , looking out into the clear still Mediterranean Sea, you just go into a different zone. A fabulous place.

Beautiful apartment with an amazing sea view!
We had a wonderful vacation at Casa Montechiaro in beautiful Positano. The apartment is very charming and beautiful with a full equipped kitchen and an amazing sea view from the large terrace. We got a very warm welcome from the very generous and kind host Raffaele who met us at the bus station and carried our luggage to the apartment. He then showed us around the apartment and gave us useful information and tips about the apartment and the city. He had also bought us some lunch, wine and fresh fruit which was very appreciated! Overall, we had an amazing vacation in beautiful Positano and would love to stay at Casa Montechiaro again!
