Marilù vacation home in Positano

Near the lace-makers' lane that gives its address its name, Marilù is a private vacation home tucked into Positano's stepped hillside, where the village's ceramic-tiled staircases connect it to the main beach promenade below.

The property's 9.7 rating across 63 reviews points to a host attentive to detail — rare in a town where rentals often trade on views alone and underdeliver on basics. Guests arriving at Via dei Merletti enter through the left-hand door, a small but telling detail that signals a personal, owner-managed stay rather than an agency-managed block.

Positano's ferry dock, connecting to Amalfi and Capri, sits roughly a ten-minute walk downhill. The steep return climb is the trade-off every visitor negotiates with this coastline.
