La Casa di Peppe Guest House & Villa

My husband and I visited Positano and stayed at La Casa Di Pepe for three nights. Wow! What an amazing place to stay. The property is beautiful and the rooms are spacious and very clean. Each room is unique and the bed is comfortable. The property is quiet, clean, and has beautiful flowers and a garden all around. My favorite part of the entire stay was the cooking class we did with Elena, in the spacious, traditional kitchen. I don’t consider myself a good cook but Elena was so patient, knowledgeable and understanding. I truly felt confident in my cooking abilities afterwards! Elena is so knowledgeable about cooking, and you can tell she is passionate about the traditions of Italy, specifically the way the food is prepared. She educated us in the, “why,” behind how food was prepared, and the traditional way to make it correctly. We prepared tiramisu, lemon shrimp and pasta, and traditional focaccia, and it was truly the best meal I have ever made and eaten. She showed us how to properly pasteurize eggs, how to de-vein shrimp, and how to make fresh pasta. These are all skills I have never done before, and now I feel more confident in the kitchen. I really recommend taking a cooking class during your stay, the food you make will be better than anything you eat elsewhere. Also, this property has a sommelier who is so knowledgeable and helpful in selecting a wine to go with dinner. He was so wonderful and taught is a lot about different kinds of wine, and explained to me why I likely enjoyed a specific kind. Peppe, the owner was also a wonderful host. He was so welcoming and has such an interesting history. You can tell he loves what he does and really loves La Casa Di Peppe. The home has so many incredible historical items, and each has such an interesting story. Overall, this was the best place to stay, in Positano. It is close to the main town center, and has spectacular views. It is also not far away from the taxi drop off, and luggage assistance is available. There is a staircase (about 430 stairs) to get to and from the beach, and while it was a bit of a workout, it felt good to exercise a little bit. I am so thankful for everything, Elena and Peppe! We cannot wait to visit again! Thank you both, for everything! Sincerely, Victoria & Carter

La Casa di Peppe has already become an essential part of our annual Amalfi Coast trip. The villa itself is absolutely stunning with every detail meticulously thought out. The feeling of staying in an authentic Positano villa with the most fantastic luxurious views and calmness are worthy alone, but the warmth and hospitality of its staff and Peppe himself is what we keep coming back for. The location is right in the heart of Positano and an easy walk to anywhere and everywhere you would want to go, it couldnt be any better. The breakfasts served at Casa di Peppe were absolutely delicious and with the stunning ocean views alone, are to live for. Also, on our most recent trip we took a delightful cooking class with Elena, which was both, exquisitely delicious and an absolute must do during your stay, especially if you really want to submerge yourself in, learn about and have a taste of the authentic Italian cuisine. All of the ingredients were fresh, organic and locally sourced by Elena herself, an absolute Heaven for the tastebuds. The class was so fun and easy going, while the wine pairings we learned about and tasted were delicious and the atmosphere was magical. Elena is so kind, thoughtful and explains everything so well, time just flew. We werent expecting to have learned so much, that we have already even recreated some of her masterpieces here at home. As I type this, I am already missing Positano and looking forward to our next stay at Casa di Peppe. Can’t recommend it enough, a 100/10 and I guarantee that you wont find a better stay away from home than Casa di Peppe.

Casa Di Peppe is a delightful guest house in Positano, much more than just a place to sleep. The rooms have marvelous fittings, comfortably locally styled interiors, and breathtaking views across the Amalfi Coast. Definitely, the staff is very friendly, and all the personnel at this hotel really make you feel like you are part of a family. Definitely, a five-star stay for everyone who wishes to get an unforgettable experience during their visit to Positano.

My husband and I couldn’t stay here. We had another place booked, but our travel agent dropped the ball and never booked it. Then she booked this place. Too far from town, and too many stairs to the closest beach. I sure paid for my expensive room though. We tried to cancel within a couple days of travel agent booking. They refused to work with us.

This Villa was the perfect place to stay in Positano. It’s up near the top of the town, which makes it a little tricky to get to, but also a great place to get away from the crowds and noise of the town below at the end of the day. The gardens and balconies are so beautiful and relaxing. Pepe and Elena were amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make our vacation amazing. Not only do they keep the Villa immaculately clean and the beds and pillows perfectly comfortable, but the daily breakfast on the balcony was the perfect way to start every day. Elena was a wealth of information about local restaurants and transit options and all her recommendations were spot on. She helped us book drivers and make reservations and was so kind and friendly. Pepe was so entertaining and told us all about Positano and local stories and characters. The view from our balcony the London Suite was breathtaking and was the perfect place to watch the Ferragosto fireworks. One of my favorite of the many extras that the villa offers is the DYSON hairdryer in the room. The villa is also a 10 minute walk down (430 steps!) down to Fornillo beach which is quieter and a little cheaper to rent chairs than the main beach at the port. The port is about a 20-25 minute walk away. Overall, we could not have asked for better hosts or better accommodations. If you want a relaxing place to stay with helpful and accommodating hosts, stay here.

PROBABLY THE BEST PLACE TO STAY IN POSITANO! PEPPE AND ELENA ARE THE BEST HOSTS! THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP WITH RECOMMENDATIONS AND QUESTIONS AND ACTUALLY WILL TALK AND HANG OUT AS WELL. THE VILLA IS PERFECTLY LOCATED TO THE PRIVATE BEACH AND CENTRAL PLAZA. THE VIEWS FROM THE ROOMS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND THE BREAKFAST IS REALLY GOOD, (also as a bonus the TV has all variety of channels, including American channels). It's not lacking in anything.... It's def 5 star!!

Absolutely fabulous place to stay in Positano a complete refuge from the crowds, breathtaking sea views, glorious gardens and the very best of welcomes. Elena’s recommendations were brilliant from nearby restaurants and getting around Positano to the best massage ever @positanmassage came to our room, and fab private boat hire with lunch reservation at amazing restaurant. Wonderful breakfasts on the beautiful terrace looking out over Positano and the sea. All in all a wonderful stay I’m a truly beautiful and special place. Thank you so much

This review is long overdue. Peppe's villa was an absolutely unbelievable stay. My wife and I made the choice to stay with Peppe to start our honeymoon in Positano and we would make the choice to stay there again in a heartbeat. Peppe is an excellent host and very knowledgeable about the local culture and cuisine, often helping us arrange transportation, restaurant reservations, and excursions with his network. We would highly recommend La Casa Di Peppe to anyone as the place to stay in Positano!

We booked our stay at La Casa di Peppe on relatively short notice and were delighted with both the service and the quality of the property. Peppe was super accommodating and arranged for our transfers to and from Naples and then changed them after flight delays. Elena greeted us on arrival and a staff member carried our bags to the suite. The property is the perfect distance from the main road, providing peace and tranquility, while still being very convenient. Elena took time to orient us to both the villa and the geography, which was important given the vertical layout of the town. It is 20 minutes at a very relaxed pace to the main beach, and 30 minutes at that same pace to walk across town. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous and we were told they have the largest private gardens in Positano. Beautifully decorated public spaces are available for guests in the main villa. We stayed in the CMR Royal Suite which had the most astonishing views as the light changed from sunrise to sunset. The cleanliness and state of the rooms, and indeed the property itself, was exceptional and indicative of not only the high degree of professionalism in the operation and maintenance of the property, but the pride and love you get with a family owned business. Our suite was spacious and wonderfully appointed. Pictures and description are exactly as described on their well designed website. As spectacular as the Amalfi Coast is, it was always a pleasure to return to Casa di Peppe at the end of a busy day, it really is an oasis. The La Casa di Peppe website says “buffet breakfast” which is an understatement. The dining room table was loaded with an astonishing variety of baked croissants, fruit, cheese, bread, pancakes, cake and other items. Meat and cheese are available as is your choice of excellent caffeinated beverage. The breakfast balcony was the perfect place to combine the wonderful view and breakfast and once again, the service was superlative. A fantastic way to start the day. While on the subject of food, Peppe provided us dining recommendations for Positano that proved to be excellent - he clearly knows his food! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to La Casa di Peppe and recommend it most highly and without reservation. Peppe and Elena were charming hosts who made us welcome and comfortable and our only wish is that we could have stayed longer.
