We Found THE MOST Magical Airbnb in Positano, Italy (From Host to Guest)

Exploring Positano has been on our bucket list for years, and this year we made it happen! We’ve been traveling across Italy, learning from Airbnb hosts in Rome, hotels in Florence, Tuscany, and now the stunning Positano on the Amalfi Coast.
Our adventure started with a scenic journey from Florence to Salerno, followed by a boat ferry to Positano. The views were breathtaking, and our charming Airbnb, Casa Claudious, offered an incredible Mediterranean Sea vista. Dining at Il Fornillo, a local favorite recommended by our host, was magical. We also visited the TikTok/Instagram-famous Arienzo Beach Club, enjoying a day of luxury and a delicious lunch.
A highlight was our day trip to Pompeii, where a private tour deepened our understanding of Roman history. Back in Positano, we indulged in gelato, shopped at the stylish CB by Kore Positano, and enjoyed a delightful lunch at Ristorante Mediterraneo Positano, followed by cocktails at L'Incanto Ocean Bar.
Our four days in Positano were filled with history, relaxation, and adventure, creating unforgettable memories. We can't wait to bring these insights back to our Airbnb in Joshua Tree and continue learning from hosts worldwide. Stay tuned for more 'From Host to Guest' adventures!
Thanks for joining us as we navigate through the trials and triumphs of our adventures and a big thank you for all of the support always... we appreciate YOU!

New to our channel? Well, hi there! We're Kristen and Michael, a couple embarking on a wild adventure of transforming our dream desert home into a short-term rental biz!
As crazy as it sounds, we decided to ditch our beloved Los Angeles (which we called home for 7 years) and chase our wildest dreams of owning a piece of land in California. And guess what? We did it! We finally bought our desert house in the summer of 2021, and we've been DIY-ing our hearts out ever since!
We're talking about an (almost) complete renovation, from top to bottom! But that's not all! We're also building our business from scratch, with the goal of sharing our little oasis with our family, friends, and even strangers from all over the world.
So come on and join us on this crazy ride! We promise it'll be full of laughs, tears, and lots of DIY fails (and wins!). Welcome to our channel!

We toured Sicily in 2022 and I had the same thought, I did not want to leave. So in 2023 I bought a run down villa, restored it and moved my family there. We also have an Airbnb on property which is almost ready for this summer.

[@kristenandmichael]

Oh wow! That sounds amazing, how do you like living there?

[@bigonia]

Absolutely beautiful! Incredible Airbnb, spectacular vistas, well shot and edited. Thank you for taking the time to bring us along. So happy for you both to have made this trip possible. 🙌

[@sunnysharif6410]

Such a beautiful video! I wish all tourists were as classy as you guys! I'm an American and have been living in Italy for the last 35 years and Positano has always been my favorite summer destinatin. This year I've decided to stay home, the mass tourisms has ruined most beautiful places in Italy, Positano being the most painful one for me. The "Instagram" tourists (mostly American) are ignorant, loud, disrespectful to the environment and plain nasty!

[@alemassa6632]

Agree 100%.

[@adriennecruz3843]

So glad you two are enjoying this well deserved rest!

[@Myhappyplace65]

Loved it guys. This is what the hard work is all about. Well deserved vacation for an amazing couple. You guys work hard to make people's experiences at your property and now it was your turn. Love to see you both having such an amazing time for yourselves. When those kids come🙏 Get a good stroller 🤪and keep on living it. God bless you guys 😍 We have 4 and its never stopped us 🤪

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

Aww I agree you guys deserve to enjoy t hi s amazing vacation It’s giving b me great ideas too

[@lost-south-lake-crafters]

Thanks so much for sharing your vacation, such awesome footage. Beautiful!

[@BLVRZ]

You guys are such an inspiration! My wife and I are set to go to Italy in September, Florence & Cinque Terre. Blessings!

[@kristenandmichael]

Thank you! It was such an amazing experience, so excited for you both!

[@skyeseaborn1170]

This was delightful! I just found your channel. I’m excited to watch the other videos. Kristen those dresses are beautiful on you!

[@hjisagirl]

You did the route like we did,,,and wow….what a perfect introduction to the Amalfi Coast!!

[@annamartin3489]

I went to Positano the first week of May and wish I could have stayed longer. My hotel was on the pyramid cliff called Hotel Reginella and had a very nice view. I would love to go back someday and stay longer than 3 days.

[@charlesking617]

Lovely video guys!

It was magical!

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

Thank you so much for sharing with us, I could enjoy it just as if I was there and I appreciate that. ❤

[@RichardJayJr-vz8ev]

Now this is a great video/channel. A couple reasons: I live in Hawaii so I see a lot of travel videos- Done almost entirely by travelers not locals. I think most people would appreciate a “locals” insight. What a twist! Air B n B hosts giving travel from their perspective! Fantastic! Next: You are so relaxed and confident NOT “trying “ to sell an approach. Clearly, you are the professionals who know what you’re talking about. ALOHA

[@luizadana9455]

Wonderful places and you are such a lovely couple! ❤️

[@smelliere1]

Gorgeous video! Glad you guys got to have some relaxing time away.

[@TheZsuZsa123]

1st time viewer of your channel because Positano was included. Very nice editing, cool couple vibe and beautiful Positano. You 2 do travel videos in an interesting format, it moves quickly keeps my interest and shows places I have never seen. Thanks

[@susangasporra1176]

WOW! So beautiful ❤️

[@funmiester]

Great video that can be even GREATER with - letting us know the price. Thank you

[@kristenandmichael]

Was around $800 a night, that’s including all the fees and cleaning fee.

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Lovely video…wonderful couple! ever checked out Nikki Positano channel

[@Shibalvr]

I wondered if it was her place since Carlo is the Superhost of this Air BnB?😮😊

[@monevaluation4716]

Kristen you look way way better without make-up as you have an amazing natural beauty.

[@monicamcgahan]

Fin would fit in perfectly in Positano❤

[@kristenandmichael]

We agree! He loves the beach haha

[@gila1959]

Sorry for your idea of the bus to positano we did that several years and several times took the bus and it was fantastic road you dont see much from the sea you dont see the whole road and not the bful gardens and gorgeous homes of the steep hill ..its true - its crowded , lots of turists ..

[@claub5438]

❤❤❤

[@susanlombardo8444]

Beautiful, do you have the whole house/villa as an Airbnb?❓❓❓❓ Thanks for sharing!! 👍😀

[@majorwin2622]

Great video but i would say incorporate music that's native where you are visiting. Makes a huge difference. Trust me!!

[@Dani-bp2ye]

Pleeeease come to visit me in Rome!!!

[@ProfumoDiSanremo]

We are waiting for you in the "Bel Paese" for another future trip, then if you have thrown a coin into the Trevi Fountain in Rome then destiny will take you back to Italy ;-)

[@monicamcgahan]

No wonder they drink wine like crazy there!! No sulfates ect… When I drink wine I swell up twice my sz!

[@kristenandmichael]

Same, we can't drink white wine normally, but here it was like water

[@monicamcgahan]

Were you nervous at the loading dock? I follow a vlog family who own blue star boats tours and she post the craziest scariest thing about a ferry docking and almost killing several people!

[@kelleenwilliams2766]

Elizabeth!!!

[@mmmay29]

That Airbnb was beautiful! How did you like the beach club? Worth the money?

[@suesmith4289]

WHY ???

[@john8034]

so what?

[@proserve9607]

Your face shots without sunglasses. Looks a little bit not normal?

[@DellHell1]

Great series but here’s the thing, those apartments are meant for locals and hotels are meant for visitors. Expect local authorities to change the licensing laws in the coming years.

[@suesmith4289]

Positano, is beautiful but very overated, crowded and VERY expensive.😓

[@kristenandmichael]

We live in Southern California, so expensive is what we're used to haha
