“Heaven on Earth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2010

We stayed at Villa Ligea with two other couples in September 2010 for 10 days we will not soon forget. The villa is very elegant and well appointed with terraced gardens and a private pool area, all with magnificent vistas of the Mediterranean and of Positano. The views of Positano from the terraces of the villa cannot be surpassed! We dined al fresco almost every evening we were at the villa with fantastic views as our background. Christina, who provided expert daily concierge services, arranged for grocery deliveries, restaurant reservations, boat reservations, transportation, tour and shopping advise. She is an invaluable resource for anything you would need to know about the area. Daily maid and grounds keeping services are also provided. Continental breakfast arrives every morning. We were thoroughly spoiled! All bedrooms are very large and comfortable. All, except one (though it has full views of the Mediterranean), have balconies or terraces opening to the Mediterranean. All bathrooms are en suite, very large and state of the art. Positano is a 10 to 15 minute walk away. The public bus stops just across the villa though it is usually quite crowded. Taxis or other private transport (we used Flavio Gioia and highly recommend it) are very reliable. Villa Ligea is heaven on earth and we would not hesitate to return to it.

“PERFECTION!!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010

Incredible!! Everything exceeded our expectations. An experience we'll cherish forever! The hospitality and warmth, the concierge service from Christina, the view, the quality .... EVERYTHING will be remembered for our entire lives. I can't more highly recommend this villa. They constantly went out of their way for us. The daily breakfast was perfect. It was all a spectacular experience. Thank you!

“Fabulous”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2009

Having waited for it to be completed for quite some time, we were very much looking forward to actually spending a few days at the Villa Lighea. The wait was worth it! The rooms all have a very personal touch, the view of course is spectacular. Enjoying breakfast on the large terrace overlooking Positano... Watching the sun set, drinking a glass of the home-made lemonade provided by Maureen ... Roberto and Manuela helping us in many ways, from booking tables in restaurants to limousine service. Apart from all three of them making us feel very welcome and at home. We will certainly be back.

“A paradise getaway - the pictures don't do it justice!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2009

This villa is a paradise getaway. My family stayed there earlier this summer (May) as our last destination on our Italia tour, and we could not have asked for a better ending. Villa Lighea is spectacular by itself - spacious, well-designed, energy efficiency-focused, and modern - with more than plenty of room for our party of 8. Put it in the context of Positano, a beautiful, amazing little city, and this villa is even more appreciated for the gem that it is. The views from the villa include the Positano mountainside and ocean, and the town is only a 15 minute walk away. The walk goes by quickly, and we didn't mind at all, but be aware if you're traveling with someone who needs certain assistance. On that note, the pretty, black-stoned beach is a 8 minute walk down hundreds of stair steps; not for those who would struggle with such activity. Our group included teenagers, and they had a great time both at the Villa and in town.

Roberto cooked a delicious meal that was prepared for us when we arrived - a great choice because we were able to have the leftovers as snacks for several days. Manuela was welcoming and warm throughout our stay. In particular, Maureen, the personal concierge-type staff woman and our new friend, was sweet, thoughtful, and very accommodating. We had wonderful service - always cookies and coffee in the morning! - and the entire staff made sure our needs were met and any questions we had were answered. On a side note, if you want to take a car service anywhere, I'd highly recommend Gaetano ("Guy"). I'm not sure if he's directly associated with Villa Lighea, but he was absolutely wonderful. We used him to get back and forth to Rome, and he was hilarious and quite a character, but also safe and very knowledgeable.

My family still reminiscences at least once a week about our stay in Positano. Thank you Maureen, Manuela, and Roberto for a happy, fun-filled family vacation. We cannot wait to come back! Until then, we'll be dreaming about laying on the villa's patio in the sun and recommending you to our friends back here in PA.

“Possibly the most beautiful villa with the best staff on the planet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2009

Our 2 week stay at Villa Lighea was the closest to a perfect vacation we've ever had. The staff was kind, considerate and attentive to our every need. We were greeted warmly by Manuela and Maureen and the personal interaction continued for the entire 2 weeks. Maureen could not have been more accommodating. Rosalita was a gem and her personal touches to the villa were so appreciated. Roberto was quite the chef and such a pleasure to get to know. This was not just owner/renter. These were people who really cared about us and our needs and went far beyond the norm to make sure we were comfortable and happy. We feel like we've made new friends and will be back.
