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 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 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.

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!

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.

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!

Not Enough Stars!!!!!!
We experienced the most amazing vacation in Positano largely due to this enchanting villa and extraordinary owner, Matteo. The Villa… the views are breathtaking – so beautiful that you need to continuously remind yourself that they are real! The Villa is lovely – beautifully decorated, comfortable, spotless and thoughtfully includes all conveniences. The location is central which avoids the crowds down by the main beach but is close to all our favorite restaurants (Da Vincenzo, Mediterraneo, Next2), a local market for all essentials including fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese and more (Latteria) and the best beach (Il Fornillo). Matteo was the most gracious host….he was there to welcome us and gave us a tour of the Villa. He was our private concierge in providing us with recommendations on restaurants, sights and things to do. He was so warm, kind and thoughtful and he made sure that we had the best experience. We were so sad to leave but have the best memories – we can’t wait to return to this Villa and to see our friend, Matteo.

So happy we found this amazing place!
We stayed there the last week of April and it was wonderful! We were a little nervous beforehand, hoping our choice for the week (based on a few pictures and reviews) would live up to our dreams. But as soon as we met Matteo and he gave us the grand tour, we were thrilled! The place was beautifully decorated and maintained, much larger than we expected, and the views were storybook perfect! The villa was in a great location - very quiet but also quite close to several amazing restaurants and a short 5-10 min walk to the central shopping district. All the taxi drivers and other locals we told about where we were staying also said we were in the perfect spot. Matteo was a great host- he was friendly and very responsive to all our questions before and throughout our stay. He welcomed us with delicious fresh local oranges and lemons, which were a delightful treat each day. We spent a busy week visiting all around the Amalfi coast and Capri, but enjoyed returning each evening and waking up each morning to the amazing views. Whether you just want to relax around the villa, cook in the spectacular kitchen, or dine out and explore, we’d highly recommend this place to stay!

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!
If you want to have the best experience in Positano, rent this villa! It is relatively easy to get to and very close to great restaurants and shopping. I can't praise Matteo highly enough. From the beginning, he helped me in planning our stay. He was very patient with all of my questions for close to a year and made restaurant reservations and arranged for a porter for our luggage. Matteo was the perfect host, so kind and helpful with all of our needs. About the villa, there aren't words to describe how lovely it is. It was perfect for our group of 5. We especially enjoyed the terraces, which provided excellent views. Every room was large and welcoming. The kitchen is unbelievable! The bathrooms were great, too. Wonderful appliances, including a washer and dryer, plus an area to hang your laundry if you need to. If we ever return to Positano, this is where we will stay. I can't imagine a better place or host. Grazie, Matteo and hugs to you, the Boss and Lola. Fondly, Sheri

Wonderful villa!
A wonderful villa - amazing location, spectacular view, and a very thoughtful and great host. The stairs up are worth it every one bit! However, for the price we thought it needs some love. Also, the AC didn’t work in one room for our entire 5 day stay and we had to keep shutting off the electricity to get it to work for a couple hours. The dryer did not work properly either (later figured out it was because we had to keep shutting the electricity off), one shower was impossible to use half the time because it was running boiling water, and the microwave was dirty (had red sauce inside upon arrival). Also, upon arrival we were told there was a tourist fee and cleaning fee that we had to pay cash for. We were also warned that if would use more than the allowed electricity, we would have to pay extra - which I think is a little odd to charge for considering the price of the villa.

Wonderful Stay with Incredible Views of Positano
You will love this charming and spacious villa with huge outdoor and indoor space that provides wonderful views of Positano from every level and from every bedroom. VRBO host Matteo was very friendly and takes great pride in his villla. He gave us a tour of the entire house with instructions on how to use everything. Matteo also provided us with nearby restaurant recommendations and also even helped arrange a private transportation for our group to Bomerano. Grazie mille, Matteo! The lovely villa is exactly as pictured. Kitchen and multiple living room areas downstairs with a half-bathroom and a huge outdoor deck with sweeping views of Positano. Upstairs, three bedrooms: each bedroom with their own balcony so everyone has the same incredible views. There are air conditioner units in each bedroom if needed. There is a 150 Euro cleaning fee which should be paid in cash, but that fee is fully disclosed up front when you book the rental on the PDF agreement. Tip: if coming from the beach, don't take the Google map route (which will be shorter but vertical: all stairs). Take the slightly longer route up to Viale Pasitea which curves around. It's a more gradual ascent (easier on knees), plus you get to see all the great stores and restaurants. Overall, our group of 5 adults had a completely lovely stay in Positano. I HIGHLY recommend Matteo's Villa on Via Santa Caterina (located between the Hotel Punta Regina and the Chiesa di Santa Caterina). Would definitely stay again!

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.
