Amazing views and great location

This apartment is absolutely beautiful. It has the most incredible balcony with amazing views of Positano. It is so spacious, beautifully decorated and perfect for our family of 7. It is located next to many cafes and shops but not in the busy Positano Centre which suited us all better. Also not too many stairs to climb by Positano standards. Matteo was a wonderful host. We highly recommend his home.

Amazing house, perfect location, everything and more!

We had the best stay at Matteo’s house! He was an amazing host and was always available for whatever we needed. The house is so charming, and you cannot beat the views from the balcony. It’s in an amazing location, close enough to walk into Positano main area but so quiet and peaceful not being in the main square. There are a ton of great local restaurants in the area, we preferred these over going into Positano proper. 10/10 stay and will definitely go back!

Positano Dream

Matteo was a wonderful host. He was very helpful and responsive during the booking and planning process, check in and out was very easy and during our stay he kept checking in to see if everything was ok. The villa was beautiful, in a perfect location with great restaurants on both sides of the villa. Views were outstanding and was perfect for our family of five. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Positano!

Positano

The communication with Matteo was exceptional from the time of booking til after we checked out. Our family (of 3 generations) loved staying in this beautiful home-in the perfect Positano location. Matteo’s recommendations for restaurants, cooking classes & day trips made our stay perfect in every way. We could not have asked for a better host.

Positano vacation

My wife and another couple had an amazing stay at Villa Dolphin. The home and patio is gorgeous, clean, and lots of space. The home is also located on the quieter side of Positano which is nice to be out of the touristy area but also easily accessible when you want to drop in. Matteo, our host was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the entire trip. Highly recommend and Connor wait to come back!

The best place on earth!

The only thing more magical and wonderful than the property and location is the owner, Matteo! From arranging dinner reservations and suggesting points of interest to visit and paths less traveled, to getting us the best driver when needed, Matteo is in a class of his own. Grazie Matteo, sei fortissimo!

Beautiful positano villa

Beautiful villa about midway up the mountains of positano. Walk from beach area about 20-30 minutes depending on traffic and crowds. Combined with Seventy steps to villa from street level, it was quite a hike but doable. Located near many good restaurants, which was nice on the days we wanted to eat nearby. Matteo was an amazing host, there to greet us and introduce us to the villa and to see us off when we left. He helped us with restaurant recommendations (getting us in before others waiting on the day or our arrival). He also provided us with recommendations for a driver, which turned out to be essential on the days the ferries didn’t run because of rough seas. Would definitely recommend to others.

Wonderful villa

We had such a wonderful time at Matteo’s Villa. 6 adults stayed comfortably with all the luxury we needed. Beautiful big kitchen lounging areas, large bedrooms with air conditioning, fabulous patio with the most outstanding views. Our Host Matteo was most accommodating friendly and charming. He arranged car and restaurant reservations for us and was at our beckon call if we needed anything. We would highly recommend this villa. Was in a great location close to the town and relatively short walk to the beach. Thank you Matteo!

Heaven on Earth

If you want to find paradise in Positano, then you must stay at Villa Dolphin. We were a party of 6 women, and we found everything we desired at our temporary home. Matteo was the most gracious host and was always available for any questions we may have had. Matteo helped us secure reservations for restaurants, drivers and tours. We all agreed that we found heaven on earth. Do not hesitate to stay here!! Grazie, Matteo

Postino perfect spot!

Our family enjoyed 10 wonderful days in this perfectly located villa owned by Matteo, who was amazingly accommodating with us and very accessible during our whole stay. The villa affords you a panoramic view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, complete with sights and sounds of everyday life. We planned to experience this area as though we actually lived there, with local shopping,our own pasta making and cooking as well as frequenting some of the neighborhood restaurants. You would be well advised to have some Italian under your belt so that you can interact with the locals, which only adds to the already amazing geography of Positano. Bella Positano! Grazie mille Matteo!

Beautiful - exactly as pictured.

We were in Positano for my son's wedding so it was already set to be a magical week. The villa was exactly as pictured, is very clean and spacious and is in a nice location, close enough to walk to the main beach but far enough to be away from the commotion. And the views of the Mediterranean sea are breathtaking. Matteo is such a gracious and kind person - he is a true gentleman (my wife cried saying goodbye!). He recommended a small family run restaurant up the street and we enjoyed the food and service so much that we ate there three nights. All of my family enjoyed our interaction with him and we would all highly recommend this experience.

Extraordinary views, stellar acommodations and marvelous host!

We could not have found a better home in Positano to enjoy a most memorable vacation in a magical place. The villa is roomy, well appointed, pristine, and with views to die for!! Yes it is a lot of steps up and down, but that's true everywhere, welcome to Positano. The garage spot, a must if you have a car, was convenient, secure and a rarity in this town. Our host Matteo could not have been more helpful, warm and welcoming, available whenever we needed him yet not the least bit intrusive. There are plenty of great restaurants right nearby, as well a small grocery store and a pharmacy. We long for the day we can return. Ciao.

Magnificent

Every once in while you come across a real gem. We felt privileged to have stayed at Matteo's Positano Villa. You will not do better. The place is magnificent, better than the photos!. Well appointed, beautifully furnished, functional and convenient. Only surpassed by Matteo's hospitality. He epitomises the Villa, friendly, helpful, welcoming. We saw him as a long lost friend! I would have no hesitation in recommending his place. No hidden nasties, just wonderful holidaying. Oh the view!

Magical Villa in Positano

My wife, two children and parents spent 5 nights in Positano. What a magical place it is and made even more spectacular by this amazing villa. We had more than enough room for everyone. The appointments in the villa are first class. The views from everywhere in the home are spectacular. Matteo is a wonderful host who helped us from the moment we arrived to the morning we departed with assistance with our luggage, to recommendations for shopping, restaurants and so much more. His quintessential Italian hospitality and charm made us feel like we were at home. You won't find a more beautiful place to stay in Positano than Villa Dolphin. Thank you Matteo for making our stay in Positano one of the most memorable vacations our family has shared.

The Garofoli's

The villa was beautiful. Although the kitchen was old in nature it was suitable for preparing any meals. Our only complaint about the stay there was we think Matteo should supply the villa with some basic staples like milk, butter, bread etc. Matteo was great. He was very informative at the beginning. The only problem with the villa is something that no one can change. It is 73 steps to the villa from the street. If you want to go to the beach via stairs you have another 369 stairs to navigate. You can go by the road but be prepared to walk uphill from the beach which is substantial. There is a bus that can take you to your villa which comes every half hour and proved very helpful on certain days. However you will be challenged by the number of people who take the bus. We loved Positano and our villa. Ciao.

Wonderful in every way!

Our vacation at Villa Dolphin was absolutely wonderful. The villa is just as it appears in the photos....the views spectacular from the amazing balcony and the kitchen our favorite spot...rich with history and character. Just 70 steps from the street (a short walk up by Positano standards), it is set in an ideal spot for short walks to local restaurants and shops as well as two beaches. Our group of six loved every minute and especially appreciated our host. We cant say enough about Matteo. Kind, friendly, incredibly responsive and just a wonderfully nice guy. He arranged for our request to have a private chef prepare dinner for our group onsite on Wednesday evening. Rosaria is amazing! She met with us in advance to discuss our preferences and prepared a most delicious dinner. Perfect in every way! We loved our time here.

5 Stars!

We can highly recommend both this villa and its owner! We had a truly wonderful stay this villa in Positano. Positano is such a charming town. There is an incredible restaurant (Mediterraneo) just a few doors up from the villa (make sure you order a Limoncello). The villa itself is gorgeous- spacious, open, airy, and comfortable. I swear, I wanted to bring the mattress and pillows home with me. They were so heavenly comfortable! The views from the balconies and all the windows are stunning. And as for Matteo, the owner, he the kindest, most receptive person imaginable. He was so helpful in answering all of our questions about anything in the area. And if any problem should come up with the villa, he responds practically before you can even hang up the phone! Truly a wonderful person to interact with. We loved our stay and would definitely stay here again!
