We really enjoyed our recent stay at Villa Costanzo with our two daughters (ages 11 & 14). We've rented several HomeAway properties over the years and this apartment was by far the cleanest we've ever stayed in. You can tell Edmondo takes pride in his property-- his check in process can take about 45+ minutes but it's all very helpful information about the apartment and the area. The apartment is in the middle of all the action but once you close the soundproof windows, it's very quiet and we had no trouble sleeping. He also gives you a laminated card you can present at several of the local restaurants for a 10% discount.

If arriving by rental car like we did, you will also get a discount from the Di Gennaro Parking Garage (20 euro/day; this is the very last garage before you come to the pedestrian-only area). You can hire a porter to take your bags down to/up from the apartment. Our daughters really enjoyed hanging out and swimming at the little beach club located just outside the apartment. Get there early to reserve your chairs and umbrellas but you can come and go all day. Positano was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Italy!
