Positano Rental

Villa Il Giardino is situated in a very quiet position, high in the village of Positano, the centre of the Costiera Amalfitana. Internationally renowned as an important tourist and commercial resort, the area was often visited by famous people. Positano is easily accessible by rail and road, and has a small harbour where it is possible to take ferries to the islands of Capri and Ischia. This property, offering spectacular views, takes its name from the beautiful, terraced garden to the front of the house, which is almost unique in a steep village like Positano. The interiors of the villa are comfortably furnished and facilities include a fax machine and satellite TV. A particular feature of the house is the very light sitting and dining rooms, which open through French windows to a beautiful terrace overlooking the garden and the sea. There, it is possible to arrange cooking services for the guests. This property is located in the historical part of Positano and therefore not reachable by car. The nearest parking area is at approx. 300 Mts. away, and parking spaces can be arranged in advance. From a narrow, winding road it is possible to walk down to the beach of Fornillo. It is possible to have air conditioning in the bedrooms at extra cost. The owner spends part of the year in an independent apartment in the lower ground floor.

Villa Policies

• ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE TIMES - Clients must arrive between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. and leave before 10 a.m. on the day of departure.
• SWIMMING POOLS - Swimming pools are not open all year. If your rental period is outside the period May 30th to October 3rd, please check with us that the pool can be opened. Swimming pools are not enclosed with fences and there are no lifeguards. Clients’ use of the swimming pool is at their own risk.
• HEATING - Heating costs are not included in the price and must be paid directly on the spot to the owner or his/her representative before departing. Please note that heating in Italy, when not subject to restrictions by the local Government, is more expensive compared to other countries. If you look for a property in low season, make sure to ask for an estimate of the heating cost. You may be asked a supplementary deposit for heating expenses.
• WATER AND ELECTRICITY - Please note that most of the properties that we offer are not the typical purpose-built Mediterranean holiday villas. Most are converted farmhouses or former manor houses, full of character and history. Water shortages do occur; please use it sparingly during the summer months. At the same time, Italy is probably one of the few countries in the world where the government has introduced a system of electricity limitators to contain the national consumption. This means you must be careful when using more than one appliance at once because the limitator will shut the electricity off.
• INTERNET CONNECTION - Many of our properties have an internet connection. From our experience, when a connection is interrupted due to technical reasons beyond our control, it is unfortunately very difficult, despite our efforts, to receive immediate assistance from some of the internet providers operating in Italy. We therefore strongly suggest that those who need to access their emails should bring their own BlackBerry, or a similar portable device. Please note that in any case we cannot accept responsibility for lack of these services.

Getting There

• Transfers are available
• Villa is accessed by approximately 100 steps from the road. Access is not suitable for those with health or mobility issues.

• LOW SLUNG CARS - VANS - MINIBUSES - Most of our houses are located in the countryside. Some of them can be accessed only by unsealed roads and driveways. We therefore advise people intending to take a sports or low-slung car on holiday, to check with us first whether the access to the property allows for such a car. We advise against the use of vans and minibuses. Please always check with us, at the time of booking, if you are planning to use this type of vehicle when staying at one of our properties.
