Casa Sam was the perfect place for our family to stay in Positano. While the town can feel incredibly busy during the day, walking through the front door of Casa Sam felt like entering a peaceful retreat. We looked forward to coming back every afternoon to relax on the terraces and soak in the incredible views.One important thing to know—and this isn't specific to Casa Sam, but to Positano itself—is that Positano stairs. The entire town is built into the cliffs, so expect to climb a lot of steps wherever you stay. If you have mobility concerns or simply don't enjoy walking stairs, Positano may not be the best fit. But if you're prepared for it, the beauty of the town makes every climb worthwhile.The home's layout worked really well for our family. The main bedrooms are on the upper level, with the kitchen, living room, and beautiful veranda on the level below. A quiet, cozy bedroom with its own private terrace is tucked away on the lowest floor, making it a wonderful spot for anyone wanting a little extra privacy.The terraces are what truly make Casa Sam so special. We spent countless hours enjoying coffee in the morning, relaxing after the beach, and watching the evening light over the sea. The views are simply spectacular.The home strikes a wonderful balance between stylish and comfortable. The beds and linens were incredibly comfortable after long, sun-filled days exploring the Amalfi Coast. We were especially grateful for the excellent air conditioning, which ma

This location is fantastic, the house is amazing, the view, honestly I can't put in to words how great this place is. Adolfo is the best host. In all of my travels this place and experience is at the top. Adolfo’s father made us delicious pizza one night and took us on a tour of the coast on his boat. There are no steps to get to the front door, which is a great thing. Grocery and restaurants are easy walk. You can't do better than here.

We had an exceptional experience when we booked Adolfo's place. You will not be disappointed in the quality of the physical product as it is excellent in every respect. It exudes the "feel" of Positano, a stone house built in the 17th century perched on a cliff overlooking all of the harbor. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. Multiple terraces offer dramatic views from each level of the house. The services offered by Adolfo were world class. He has an intimate and expansive knowledge of a multitude of different places that he can assist in booking, including several Michelin starred restaurants. He also was well connected with a myriad of transportation options in the area and excursions. For us, a day in Pompeii in a private van for our group of 7, followed by lunch at a working vineyard and a stop to a high end ceramic factory for shopping curated by the fourth generation of the family wrapped up a great day in the area. Adolfo also arranged for a day long private boat tour of the Amalfi coast and a visit to Capri, where we lunched locally and explored for several hours before be picked up to explore the island coast of Capri, returning to Positano for a phenomenal day on the boat. Not to be outdone, he arranged for a special private chef meal that night, for our final night in Positano.Our group of 7 were treated like royalty by a host who knows his business exceptionally well and is as hospitable as a host can be. You will be thrilled you booked.

Staying at this villa was nothing short of magical, and Adolfo is the reason it became one of the most unforgettable trips of our lives. From the moment we booked, he stayed in close contact all the way up to our arrival — sending thoughtful recommendations, answering every question, and making sure we felt cared for before we even set foot in Positano. He’s the kind of host you hope for but rarely find: warm, generous, and genuinely invested in making your experience extraordinary.His local advice was invaluable. Every restaurant he pointed us toward was a hit, and the activities he suggested shaped the trip in ways we couldn’t have planned ourselves. He helped us book a private boat ride along the coast that ended up being one of the highlights of our entire Italy trip — the kind of afternoon you replay in your head for years.And then there was the dinner. Adolfo’s father Daniele cooked us a meal we will quite literally never stop talking about. The seabass dish he prepared will live rent-free in my mind forever — it was the meal of a lifetime, served with the kind of warmth and hospitality that only a family like this can offer. It felt like being welcomed home by people we’d known forever.The villa itself belongs in Architectural Digest. Every detail, every view, every corner of the home is stunning — the kind of place that takes your breath away every time you walk back in. We wanted for absolutely nothing during our stay.
