Via pestella 53, 84017 Positano, Italy –

The place was huge, beautiful and had every convenience, including a rooftop deck! The hosts were incredibly personable and helpful. They met our car (their place is pretty far up) made Capri reservations, assisted with train and bus schedules, and even gave us a bottle of wine and some snacks! We were late returning from Pompeii, and they made restaurant reservations at a place that sent a shuttle to the bus stop for us. We were in Italy for 2 weeks, and this place was our favorite. You do have to be able to walk, though!

The hosts were fabulous and extremely helpful despite a bit of a language barrier. The views were spectacular from the property, and although it’s quite s walk to get to, it’s a lovely walk.

Susan

United States of America

The host family treated us like their own family... they taught us how to make fresh pasta and we all cooked and ate an amazing dinner together. They were incredibly attemtive to our needs. Excellent experience across the board.

Jeff

The host is very nice and accommodating. Nothing was a problem. The matress was super hard and as soon as I mentioned it to him, he brought another one. The breakfast was nothing special for extra 5 EU. You could do better at any cafe. The views from the villa are very nice and it is very quiet.

Sam

Genny made us feel like a treasured member of his family. He was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions or requests. He brought us fresh vegetables from his garden and lemon cello made by his mom with lemons from their trees. I highly recommend paying a bit extra for very fresh and delicious dinner and lunch made by his mom. By fresh, his mom killed the chicken in the morning. The furniture and beds were authentic rather than designer. The views from the decks were phenomenal. I highly recommend this villa for anyone who would prefer an authentic experience over the Ritz.

Genny was an amazing host. The moment he arrived he greeted us with all the information we needed and even offered to make reservations at a well known restaurant we heard about through a coworker. He was very quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the day. The property was awesome and very quiet as many locals live there.

Gennaro was extremely helpful managing all aspects of our stay. Hi home is truly a gem, with 360 degree views of the sea and the mountains. Close to excellent restaurants in Montepertuso and a lovely walk down to Positano.

John

United States of America

The property was impeccable and had many amenities including a washer, which was very important for us backpackers. Hosts were the best, absolutely amazing. Genny, his father and mother were the sweetest people. With all the welcoming snacks they gave out, I feel like the lodging should have costed a lot more. The area is a bit hassle to get to, but Gennys place is a 3 minute walk to the bus station, so no problem there. I'm definitely coming back here and recommending this place to all my friends.

We loved our stay at Villa Genny and Emily. We were made to feel so welcome and Gennaro went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. We are a family of 5 and walked everywhere. There is a well stocked mini market in Montepertuso that is better priced than in Positano. The view from the house is amazing and we wish we could have stayed longer!

The weather was chilly when we were there and the house is very large with tile floors. It was difficult to get the house warm enough. The shower water was not as hot as we’d have liked and would suggest a few more towels for kitchen and bidet be provided. Trash bags and a few toiletries would add additional comforts.

The location of the villa was problematic for us. Besides it's being far from the downtown Positano (need to take a 20 min bus) there is still 10 min walk. And when you need to carry luggage up and down it is very inconvenient. Although, the host helped us with luggage, it was an imposition. This was a last minute reservation, and most reasonably priced accommodation. The recommended restaurant that family owns, was not good at all. The food was overlooked and looked like it was a leftover from lunch. I would not stay at the villa again

We can not recommend Villa Genny and Emily enough! Firstly Genny and Roberto picked up from the bus stop in Positano and took us to the villa, they went above and beyond for us. Genny showed us through the villa and we were welcomed with a glass of wine and food. Angela cooked us an amazing four course meal, we highly recommend her cooking. All ingredients are fresh and out of their garden. We ate dinner on the roof terrace which had panoramic views. We were sad to leave the villa and the hospitality at Villa Genny and Emily. We hope one day we can return.
