To start the property is just beautiful. Spotlessly clean and so spacious. But what made it so special was the morning breakfast served either on your balcony or just inside (if it rains) each morning. Unfortunately I do not know that name of the lovely lady who greeted us and served our breakfast but her warm smile and service is what made the stay most special. Thankyou

Excellent B&B to stay in Positano. The room was ample an clean and nicely decorated. I had a balcony facing the “pyramid”. But, the most important quality of the place is the staff and the owners. They treat us like family and they make us feel so welcome. The breakfast was incredible: eggs, bacon, toasts, milk and all kinds of cookies and donuts.

Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing
We absolutely loved this place! As a group of three friends we were thrilled to see such a large room / large living area with a converted bed. The sleeping area is connected but set apart much larger than a hotel style with a fireplace, large balcony, and large bathroom with vanity hallway area. The beds were set and made for our arrival. The apartment was in a very quiet, peaceful part of town! Plenty of shops and restaurants along the streets but a bit of a hike if walking, however the views are worth it! All sights were within a 20 min walk (but keep in mind the steps) and the boat dock was also very close- there are porters waiting for suitcases which was very welcomed- they bring them to your hotel for 10 euro per piece which was a lifesaver! The only downside is no elevator that we saw but not a huge deal. Full breakfast provided in the morning by staff which was delicious and the views are just amazing from the balcony. Very nice place would stay again and highly recommend.

This place is amazing , we had a small balcony where we had breakfast outside every morning . It is a small family owned b&b and they also own the restaurant next door which was also fabulous. We stayed in musica (room name ) and it was large and comfortable. Great views .

This B&B exceeded all of our expectations! It was spacious, clean, had a beautiful view, and wonderful staff. Forgive us as we missed her name, but our main hostess gave us tons of information and helped with our bus tickets (which was a task of its own to get)! Very accommodating and nice - she even gave us a parting gift. If we come back to Positano, we will be staying here again!

A very good stay :)
The lady who host me was amazing, the room is more beautiful than i thought with a beautiful view. I was lone, so it was nice to hear the people and music of the restaurant below :) Breakfast was very nice, the lady made me some warm food too (Asian culture haha) The only downside is that it is quite high up for elderly to walk, you can take a bus or taxi but I dont know where is the bus station in the bottom of the city. But if you like a hike, the view is defo worth it!

The friendliest place in Positano!
Pietro and his family could not have been more welcoming! We were greeted by Elia on our first day, who told us about the local area, places to go, weather, sunrise and sunset, and how things worked at the hotel (for instance the honesty bar). The room itself was a great size, with a large bed as well as a sofa bed, a table on the balcony and one inside, a grand mirror and plenty of space for luggage. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a fan, and an en suite. The whole room felt very light and cool. The breakfast was a highlight of our trip! - It is served either on your balcony outside or in your room, just leave the door open when you're ready and they bring it right to you! It included homemade pastries baked by Pietro's mother, a choice of tea or coffee, fresh fruit, toast and bread, a choice of yoghurt, and biscuits. Throughout our stay, Pietro and his family were so helpful in advising us on potential activities, as well as booking us into a cooking class in Praiano led by Silvanna, Pietro's mother - which we would also highly recommend!! Inclusive with our stay, was a 10% discount to the family restaurant below - here the staff are just as friendly. Each day we walked past the restaurant, the family would smile and wave - such kindness made us forget we were surrounded by strangers. The owners of this hotel were some of the kindest people we have ever met - and we would be privelleged to stay here again.

A great place
Fiancée and I stayed there for 4 nights. Charming and lovely. Sylvana was wonderful and along with Pietro very helpful. We loved Rosalba who was beyond sweet and caring. The location was perfect for us, the room excellent size and comfort, and it was just as authentic as we'd hoped it would be. The restaurant downstairs was better than anticipated. Let Ricardo suggest some wines for you.. he was a fantastic server. Only suggestion would be to significantly trim down that tree to have a more unobstructed view. We booked the place based on the reviews. You should too!

Great small B&B in an excellent Positano location.
Dimora del Podestà is a great small, family-run B & B in an excellent Positano location. It is high enough for nice views of the sea, low enough for a pleasant stroll into the heart of Positano, and close to a local bus stop for those who get weary of all of the steps. There are only a few rooms, each with a view balcony where breakfast is served each morning. The breakfast is very pleasant, often with homemade pastries, and can be adjusted for special diets, e.g. gluten intolerance. The family was very friendly and helpful with logistics, suggestions, etc.
