We can highly recommend this great villa to anyone visiting the Amalfi coast. We were two couples both celebrating our 45th wedding anniversaries and stayed here for 6 nights. From the time we booked, Genny was so very quick in his responses and went above and beyond to give us all the information that we might need. He would even send us pictures with diagrams drawn in. He and his father had a parking spot saved for us and carried our luggage up to (and from) the villa. The villa had everything that we needed as well as a washing machine, which we needed as this was our 4th week in Europe.
They had drinks and snacks for us when we arrived. What a treat! The breakfasts were fantastic with fresh fruit and vegetables from their garden.
There is a small market and bus stop near the villa. We tried the walk to Positano but found out after about 950 stair steps, we gave up and took the nearest bus! But our husbands (both 66 yrs) went the next day and made it in about 45 minutes (and 1200 stair steps later) to Positano. That was mostly all downhill.
Genny was able to advise us on places to visit and suggestions on where to eat and who to contact for tours. Nothing was too small for him to help us with.
We would highly recommend this villa.
But be advised that practically anywhere you stay on the Amalfi coast, there will be steps and stair steps to get there!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Genny is the most helpful and kind host that we have ever met (and we travel a LOT). He contacted us a few days prior to the arrival and arranged transportation to and from the airport in naples. He carried our luggage to the house, cooked us breakfast every morning (with fresh vegetables from his garden), arranged car/scooter rentals for us. He even took me on his scooter to get to the rental place and returned the scooter for us when we were done. We can go on and on about his character and helpfulness.
The place itself is VERY well kept…the view is amazing!! Bed is comfortable…bathrooms are very nice….shower pressure was amazing. If you are ever near this area, don’t think twice…BOOK THIS PLACE!
Thank you for everything Genny! We will definitely return soon!

Un havre de paix en retrait de l'agitation de Positano
Nous avons passé quelques jours très agréables dans la villa Genny, un accueil très chaleureux de Genny et sa famille. Le logement est très bien équipé. Nous avons suivi les conseils de Genny et avons déposé la voiture pour nous déplacer en bus, en bateau ou à pieds. Un chemin de marches mène au village de Positano, prévoir 30/35 min, très jolie ballade.
Emily nous a aidé à louer un bateau.
Visite du potager où l'on trouve de tout, impressionnant.

Il soggiorno li è stata la parte che più ho apprezzato di positano.
Persone magnifiche, vista mozzafiato e villa dotata di tutti i comfort.
Che dire, un posto che porterò nel cuore e che mi sento davvero di consigliare.
Grazie per aver reso il mio soggiorno a Positano unico!

Terrazza su Positano
Credo che questa struttura mi abbia fatto amare ancora di più il mare , la pace, i colori e le persone. Fin dall’arrivo la disponibilità di Gennaro è stata eccellente , aperitivo di benvenuto , spiegazione dei posti da visitare e clima familiare molto piacevole . La struttura è molto bella, pulita, con tutto il necessario ( anche un pacco di spaghetti e pomodorini freschi per una spaghettata serale), una terrazza con una vista ottima per fare colazione con prodotti loro locali. Anche Emily è stata disponibile fin da subito e ci ha organizzato un bellissimo tour in barca in poco tempo.
Amore , cordialità , gentilezza. Un posto del cuore dove ritornarci .
Grazie infinite Gennaro ed Emily

Amazing villa and hosts!
Genny and Emilia were amazing! We stayed at their lovely home and they took care of everything. They set us up with a private car and made reservations for us at a private beach club l— made our entire experience unforgettable. Their home is very clean and comfortable. They even provide free breakfast and their Mom will even serve you up a dinner if you want to stay in and order from them!
The views are incredible and you won’t find a better place to stay in positano!
Genny and Emilia are now our friends due to this lovely stay and their hospitality!!
Highly recommend that you stay here!

Posto incantevole
Eravamo 5 ragazze, abbiamo soggiornato (purtroppo) solo 3 giorni in questo fantastico luogo. La villa, lontana davvero pochissimo dal caos di Positano, gode di una posizione e di una vista mozzafiato. Oltre ad essere molto grande e spaziosa, è ricca di ogni comfort (lavastoviglie, lavatrice, sky). Il pezzo forte peró e’ senza ombra di dubbio la gentilezza e la genuinità dei proprietari di villa Genni & Emily: soddisfano davvero ogni vostro desiderio e richiesta.
Grazie villa Genni&Emily per la vostra ospitalità, sarà difficile dimenticarci di voi :)

Lovely people in a fantastic environment
We staid one week at Villa Genny and Emily. Don't be wrong, you don't share the house or the terrace with other people. The house is for you will all you need. The coffee machine, the BBQ, Air condition and first of all very attentive people like Genny. Not to forget very good bed that is so important to rest. If you need something, just ask him. Surrounding is fantastic with the hole of Montepertuso. Hiking up you can make a whole tour of sentiero degli dei but be prepared. At Montepertuso you have also all the facilities between groceries and good restaurants.

Can’t appreciate it until you’re here
So. Skeptic. That is what I was until I arrived. I’m platinum with IHG (ambassador) and Marriott. Over a million points. I am hard to please and was not excited when my wife and her friend booked here. My gosh….I missed the boat. It’s hard to know what everyone is looking for. Yes it’s a bit out of the way. Yes it’s not in the middle of downtown. But dang did I(we) win. First and foremost Genny and Emily are the MOST…Most accommodating host I have ever seen. Ever. My friends and wife joked the entire time that we had little angles with us the entire trip. They write a message in your welcome book that “whatever you need any time call or knock.” True story: we are walking from the room to downtown (legit 35 min walk) and a random nice guy walking up the stairs(first person in 20 min) ask if we want a group photo. Of course we take him up. He takes the pic and we chat for about five min; super nice. He ask where we are staying and when my wife tells him he smiles and gives us the “perfetto” sign. Anyhow, the place is amazingly clean, the terrace is one of a kind view, and the host and hostess is top notch(we called them or text and they took care of 85% of everything). We absolutely loved our stay and as lazy as we are…will come here and stay for our next visit.
As you can see we did paper rock scissors and I lost. Lost what? We were sitting at dinner and all agreed we had to leave an amazing review because it’s hard to associate the service with the place because YES…it’s a bit outside of town but we had to leave a review. I won😬. I’ll leave you with this and I think I get to leave pics after I type. I woke at 0700 and hiked to the “hole” (which is gorgeous) and had the chance to speak with a few locals (all knew Genny and Emily). Perfect morning. I am on one of three balconies and we have breakfast on the terrace in one hour. Great find. Oh…sorry I am about to ruin it for you but Genny…is a dude😬😬. Short for…I’ll let you come and find out. Off to food.

The hole, fantastic walk, you couldn't miss it. And the stairs then ... What's better than a natural gym😁.
Thank you for choosing us and staying with us. It was a pleasure to have you as our guests.
Now we are waiting for you again to collect the lemons from the Garden to make a good limoncello 😅.

Villa Genny&Emily
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Genny & Emily. The hosts were very attentive and gave us lots of useful information about the area. They were ready to help for anything we need. The villa was clean and the view was amazing! We had the whole place to ourselves, including the rooftop terrace where we enjoyed breakfasts and dinner cooked by the owners’ mother with delicious homemade Caprese cakes.
We would definitely recommend it to anyone considering coming to Positano or Montepertuso
