Oh no! No Yelp reviews? Well, this definitely needs to start with 5-stars! And here's why…read more..
My wife and I recently took a trip to Europe, stopping in Austria, Germany, Rome, and finally the Amalfi Coast. All of those spots were fun in their own ways, but we were most looking forward to relaxing along the Amalfi Coast. Reading the other reviews for Villa Mary, I was a little afraid of Paris syndrome (because of all the hype on TripAdvisor - 5 stars), but I am so glad that was not at all the case! Villa Mary was a lovely spot, perfect for relaxing. Some of the highlights were: the level of individualized service from Tiziana & Antonio (definitely the best thing about it!), the pool with a spectacular view, the location, and of course the included breakfast on the balcony.
I want to highlight a couple of things. First, as I mentioned above, the service was amazing. This has been written about in many of the other reviews, but it can't be left out. We felt like we were guests at a friend's place rather a hotel. The second we walked in, we were offered coffee, followed by a very thoughtful walk-through of what to do while in town. We followed almost all Tiziana's recommendations, and were not disappointed by any!
Secondly, the location was great! There are a few reviews about how it's a long way (and a lot of stairs) to get to places, but it's really not. Sure, there are stairs, but if you're not expecting this when visiting Positano, you didn't do your homework. I thought maybe even though I was expecting a lot of stairs, there'd be more than I could even imagine, but that wasn't the case. It's great exercise! And the grocery store (which sells cheese, wine, limoncello) is really not far at all. Location is great! I would much rather stay somewhere like this - with a view and away from all the craziness downtown.
Lastly, thank you so much, Tiziana & Antonio, for making our stay a memory we will never forget! Ciao!
