Villa Oliviero

We stayed at Villa Oliviero this week in June 2026. I would rate it as an exceptional beautiful villa over 4 floors with 6 well anointed bedroom and 6 bathrooms all air conditioned with living area and sitting rooms all air conditioned . We were 7 adults and 6 grandchildren multigenerational family reunion ages 68 to 2 years old. We booked over a year ago after detailed search . It’s a wonderful place , originally built many decades ago , fully renovated to all modern luxuries, a great large jacuzzi , terrific swimming pool and outstanding views of positano . Villa has an interesting history dating back to few hundred years ago based on original stones on the liparati cliff of positano to ownership by German poet Stefan Andres to Bertolli family of olive oil fame , to a surgeon Dr.Oliviero , who last purchased it and subsequently renovated and developed by his grandchildren Nello and Alice . Best feature is easy access to public elevator Parcheggo Liparati taking us down to street level from liparati area to street level with very easy walk to positano beach and shopping area . Old reviews of people climbing 80-100 stairs to reach the villa are now “redundant” as the public elevator built two years ago , is extremely easy to use (at least € 1.0 per person per trip ) about 50 or so same level absolutely easy flat steps from the villa itself to the entrance of elevator upstairs and same downstairs with few steps on flat exit/ entrance to the main road with bus station going across entire town as well as walking steps to the beach or access to taxi. The villa is spacious , well kept , kitchen is spacious , outdoor dining areas has spectacular views of positano and the sea , day or night . The swimming pool area has two toilets , one enclosed and one outdoor warm water shower. The villa is managed by a team lead by concierge Gennaro and his team who are extremely helpful and reliable around the clock. They cooked us a wonderful dinner. Nello Oliviero is always available on WhatsApp. One of the highlights was the meals served by Gennaro and the chef ( Alina ) which were delicious especially that we were all lacto vegetarians-the pesto gnocchi and ravioli were outstanding. All of us especially kids loved the swimming pool and the jacuzzi. Jacuzzi is very large and accommodating all 6 grandkids and 3-4 adults. In fact we loved the villa so much that family decided to cancel trip to capri , sorrento and nearby areas in lieu of just absorbing the view and hospitality of the villa itself and enjoying multi level areas and swimming pool twice daily . I would rate this as one of the best multigenerational vacation stays we have had .

We were there for our daughters wedding. The steps and stars and climb were unbelievably tough but at the top at the bills was a incredible experience with Gennaro who managed everything and our lovely cook who i can’t ember get name exactly and alice. Best experience, s short story about s friend who needed assistance during our stay. She had some difficulty with the stairs. They were so compassionate and so helpful. Ed we’re all very grateful. The breakfast every mornikng royalty and the wedding event itself were exceptional. Thank you to the whole staff that helped us every day

We recently had our wedding and 4 night stay with our families at Villa Oliviero. We loved every minute of our experience and only regret not booking the full week stay. We received the highest level of professionalism and service during our visit. Alice was incredibly helpful with everything planning and logistics-related prior to and during the stay, and she never seemed to get frustrated or tired with our back and forth emailing and zoom calls. On arrival, we had immediate assistance from several staff members to help with luggage, give us a tour of the facilities, etc. We had multiple events (cooking class, brunch, welcome event for 80, wedding for 80) which all went seamlessly thanks to the amazing staff who truly seemed to enjoy the events. We were also blown away by the food at all events, and had several guests say the pasta at the wedding dinner was the best they had throughout their entire trip throughout different parts of Italy! We would like to also shout out Genarro, who was the go-to person for our week for any requests, big or small. He was always there to help with a smile, even when what we were asking for may have been unreasonable. His presence was very calming. We already look forward to returning to the villa which I am sure we will do in the upcoming years. Thank you for a truly magical week!

I very rarely write a review BUT Villa Oliviero is too amazing to keep it a secret any longer! I went there from NY for my Goddaughter’s wedding. EVERYTHING was SPECTACULAR! The location, the staff, the service- truly a dream come true! Nello, one of the owners helped us every step of the way. They send you prompt replies to ANY questions or concerns. The staff could not do enough for you once you are there. The accommodations are comfortable and beautiful. Even if you are not having a wedding or special event this is an amazing place to stay! Nello I could never thank you enough for all your help and for making Jessica and Peter’s wedding the most spectacular day ever!!! If you are going to Positano try and book a stay at Villa Oliviero
