Vacation rentals with beach access in South Italy

We stayed at Ida’s lovely apartment for 5 nights. Ida arranged a taxi to meet us at the airport and the driver was waiting for us and took us to the apartment and brought down our luggage which was very helpful. Ida was waiting for us and showed us around her lovely apartment. It is spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The view is amazing. The outside space is great - table and chairs and sunbeds on the terrace as well as seats and a table on the balcony to gaze at the view of Old town. It also has a bbq. We managed the steps up and down as reasonably fit (for our age - mid 60’s). Ida is a fab host - and very kind. On the balcony to gaze at Dubrovnik.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Everything from start to finish was just perfect! The apartment is located near the town center and is within walking distance from several amazing restaurants, the beach, the bus stop, and amazing shops including a grocery store. It also has the most beautiful view! Anna was extremely helpful leading up to our stay and during. She organized car transportation, dinner reservations, as well as a chef dinner hosted at the apartment, with several courses that were all family recipes and unique to the area of Praiano. This experience was worth every single penny! We really fell in love with Praiano. So many restaurants with the best food and very kind people, with zero crowd from the surrounding areas. We cannot wait to come back someday!

Giuseppe is a great host, went above and beyond to accommodate us, on our morning of departure he made sure he was there to greet us off just as he did when we checked in, also Antonio from the ceramic shop had made us a souvenir that took 2 days to make but wasn't sure we would get it in time of our departure, Giuseppe was at our door step the early morning of our departure day with souvenir in hand, Above and beyond a true superhost, we hadn't left Italy yet and my wife and I are already planning our next trip back in the very near future. His excursion to pasteum was very well articulated and very knowledgeable. Again 5+ stars...

What a great spot to stay, just up above the busy square. Quite when the doors are closed but amazing view and great patio when the doors are open. Federica was an amazing host and made us feel right at home!

Gorgeous apartment. Assunta and her husband are wonderful hosts! So polite and helpful. The views are STUNNING from here and perfect private access to Arienzo beach club if going there. The main town is a ten minute walk along the roadside so not advisable if you are not that mobile or have kids but easy enough for a young couple. Would definitely stay here again!

This place is beautiful! The views are amazing, and do not disappoint. The wall to Amalfi is only about 11 minutes from here, and extremely manageable. It was nice to stay in Atrani, which was a but quieter than Amalfi itself.

Giovanni and Marina were fantastic hosts. They explained everything very clearly and they accommodated a few things we needed with a smile- it was very kind and more than necessary. I will stay here again and refer friends to stay here as well. The terrace for coffee in the morning is a priceless way to start the day.

Very nice and clean appartment and a host tha goes over and beyond; even hopping on a video call while at family event when we had a problem with the safe.

The view is a 15/10 and Irena was a great hostess! She was very proactive and took great care of me when I got sick. She made an extra trip with linens and had plenty of suggestions on where to get additional supplies. Even before I felt up for leaving the apartment, the view was healing in and of itself! Irena was also immediately helpful (at 10:30 at night!) in getting on the phone with the internet provider to reset the WiFi after a brief power outage that affected the entire bay. She got us up and running in just a few minutes! So grateful we stayed here!

View was phenomenal, I didn’t realize that it was actually 1 bedroom w a pullout couch in living room, that was my mistake

Casa Caldeiro was the perfect stay and exceeded our already high expectations! The view is incredible—photos truly don’t do it justice—and the location might be the best in all of Positano. You’re just minutes from everything you’ll need, yet the apartment feels completely peaceful and removed from the bustle as soon as you step through the gates. The walk down to the apartment is also stunning. Grady was a fantastic host, offering trustworthy recommendations and making check-in and check-out incredibly easy. I highly recommend taking his referrals for porters and taxis—they made our entire stay completely stress-free. We would, without hesitation, stay here again. The value is unmatched, and we’ll gladly refer any friends visiting Positano in the future.

It's a charming and secluded place with one of the best views we've ever had. The terrace at the house is wonderful for breakfast or a barbecue. The jetty by the sea gets plenty of sun in the afternoon and evening, but there is also enough shade provided by the pine trees. The house is a 20mins walk away from the village, and in May the roadside was full with wildflowers. Keep in mind that Sobra is a very quiet place, and the house is even more remote. You have to like that, but we did.

Everything was great! Location was perfect and the space was lovely. Hard to beat the private pool!

A beautiful property. Boštjan was very helpful and checked in occasionally to see if there was anything we needed. The free beer and wine provided on arrival was a nice touch after a day of travel.

This was without a doubt the most beautiful place I have ever been. I did not believe the place would be as amazing as the photos and it was even better! The location was in a super convenient location for the port. It was also very easy to walk to the port to catch a taxi and go to other areas on the island. The host was very responsive and communicated well. We will certainly be back!

Heaven on Earth! The accommodation is so beautiful and unique. The house is located on a mountain surrounded by nature and tranquility. It is equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed every second there. The view is simply breathtaking. Alfredo is a wonderful host. Thank you for this amazing stay!

This apartment was exceptional. Very well thought out. Really well equipped and lacked nothing. There is lovely art on the walls. Eva was a pleasure to deal with, had great advice and recommendations. It is located slightly (10 mins) from the old town and we preferred this, to be in a characterful neighbourhood with loads of local cafes bars and restaurants. We had a great time

Such an amazing host! Allowed for an early check in with our bags. Welcomed us so nicely. Airbnb was beautiful and great for 2 of us. Would highly recommend!

Graziella's home was beautiful and clean and it had everything i needed and more. Graziella was so kind and welcoming and she made sure i had everything i needed and even had breakfast items for me. She is truly a wonderful host. It was a perfect place to get away from the chaos of the bigger busier cities and relax in San Lucido beautiful quaint seaside town. There is a bus that comes through town a few times a day and the local tobacco shop sells train and bus tickets, but it only has one train. The adjacent towns are also very quaint and beautiful. There are a couple grocery stores and several shops in town that are very reasonably priced. People are warm and friendly and very helpful. The little town below can get lively and loud but the town shuts down very early. A car to see the beautiful surrounding area is definitely recommended. Paola has a few options but you will have to book in advance.

I enjoyed a great stay at Federico's apartment which is located right in the historic center of Cefalu, just a few steps from the beach, the cathedral, shops and restaurants! It was a great experience to stay in one of those old houses in the narrow streets of the historic center and still enjoy all the amenities of a modern, newly refurbished apartment. The place was very comfortable, clean, nicely furnished with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The bedroom is located in the back of the apartment and hence was very quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the little balcony overlooking the narrow street of historic Cefalu. Federico is an extremely nice host, very responsive and helpful! He provided great recommendations for restaurants, and for wonderful Kalura beach at the edge of Cefalu! Thank you for a truly memorable stay in Cefalu and I hope to come back sometime soon! I highly recommend this place!

Beautiful apartment in a wonderful city. I will return!

Great location with stunning outlook. Gio very helpfully introduced us to a local taxi driver who collected us from port and provided help through the week. Will miss sitting on the balcony watching the world go by.

This was a wonderful stay! It was my first time ever visiting Praiano and this was the perfect place for my trip! Antonio was always very responsive and helpful, I asked him for local recommendations and he helped me right away. i’ve never met another host that was as nice and helpful as Antonio was! He made sure we had the perfect stay outside of just having a lovely airbnb to stay in. The place was so spacious, clean, and pretty! I loved sitting out in the balcony enjoying the views of the ocean. I felt very safe, lots of walkable restaurants/stores, and not a far walk to the main beach. We were greeted during check in and they even came to say goodbye during check out. Overall I highly recommend this place! I will definitely be staying here next time I come to Praiano/Positano.

Very compact and well equipped apartment with a balcony looking out on the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius. Looks like the photos. 24 hour concierge Short walk to Piazza Plebiscito and close to the Spanish quarter
