Amazing stay. Super clean and ventilated. Bright and fresh. Breakfast in balcony is a dream.
Kyle
Everything about our stay at Dimora del Podesta was perfect. From the cleanliness of the room, the views, breakfast every morning, and hospitality. I would recommend staying here to everybody!
Enesa
Just exceptional
Verified traveler
The location was in a wonderful area. I took a private transfer to Positano arranged by the B&B which arrived promptly for pickup, and was a smooth transfer from the airport. I loved that there were minimal stairs to carry my suitcase up and down. My room was spacious and clean. I looked forward to breakfast outdoors each morning. Pietro and Roberta were so helpful leading up to my stay and were also available during if anything came up. Would recommend to anyone traveling to the area and book again, no questions asked. The perfect stay for the most perfect trip.

A Perfect Positano Stay with Unforgettable Views
Our stay at Dimora Del Podestà was everything we hoped for and more. This charming B&B offers absolutely stunning views that made every moment feel magical. One of our favorite parts was enjoying a delicious breakfast each morning on our own private terrace—it was such a relaxing and special way to start the day.
The staff was warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home throughout our stay. The location was ideal—nestled just above Saraceno d’Oro, where we had the best lasagna we’ve ever tasted. It was an easy and scenic walk down to the main beach, and Fornillo Beach, a quieter and equally beautiful spot, was just a short stroll away.
We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay in Positano and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Andi
One of the nicest bed and breakfast's we have ever stayed at. Beautiful rooms, breakfast, and service. 10/10
Dawn
Charm, location, service
The room is just as the pictures show. It was very large, surprisingly, with a lovely balcony with a view. The rooms are on the first floor, but not many stairs.
Unlike the rest of Positano!
Breakfast each morning top notch and very filling - pastries, cold cuts & cheese, coffee, juice, yogurt, and eggs or pancakes to order. YUM!
The staff was courteous and helpful. Heed their recommendation about where to park (if you are driving a car) and make sure you reserve a spot in advance. The parking is literally 50 steps from the B&B.
Downstairs restaurant was also very tasty and reasonable (for Positano).
Our only nit - which is not something that can be addressed - was the noise. Bring ear plugs. Or maybe ask for one of the rooms without a view so that you are not \"on the street\". Lots of tourist noise until 1am and then again starting 5am with workers (restaurants, trash pickup, etc).
We would stay again if in the area!

This property was lovely, in a central location close to loads of restaurants and shops. The service is great, we hd breakfast served in the room at the time we liked with plenty of choice. The room itself was nice and spacious, very clean.

Great Stay
We would stay here again. The room was wonderful and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our breakfasts were fantastic and our host even arranged transportation back to Naples for us. It was a great stay.
Srinath
Wonderful view, great breakfast. Easy walk away for dinner. We went to the recommended restaurant twice from the host. It was awesome food.
Sharon
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
Emilio
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.

Most beautiful place I have ever stayed!! Excellent views of Positano- near shopping and restaurant downstairs! Clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast served to us on our balcony!! Amazing. Loved it.
Kristen S.
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 .

Best accommodation ever!
The best accommodation we have ever had, room very bright and airy and most importantly very clean. Breakfast on the balcony was amazing. Delicious and rich and with beautiful views.
The restaurant downstairs is a must as well, with delicious food and friendly atmosphere.

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!

Amazing room, great location
Silvana and the staff welcomed us as if we were family! The room is in pristine condition, clean, quiet, amazing view! In the morning they will bring you breakfast in the room, great homemade pastries, eggs and coffee. They also own the restaurant downstairs making it super convenient plus amazing food! Lovely, would stay again and recommend it to my friends!

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.

Tge B&B to stay at! Beautiful location, very nice room, very friendly couple which owns the place. Amazing breakfast served right on the balcony! Now that's a vacation :)
Kristi
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.

I couldn't have been happier with our choice to stay here. Our room was clean, beautiful view from balcony, modern bathroom that was a decent size and the location was great! Breakfast on the balcony was the highlight! Take me back!

Small B&B gives a huge experience
Dimora Del Podesta is a small B&B, but it gives a huge experience to its guests. The building is beautifully renovated, situated on the one road in Positano so is accessible by bus and cab. The rooms are so large they are better described as suites, beautifully decorated, very comfortable, with porches overlooking the beautiful view. An amazing breakfast, large enough to keep you going for the rest of the day, is served in the room or on the porch. The staff is friendly and very helpful, and the family owned restaurant next door offers delicious food and 10% off for the B&B guests. All this for a very affordable price.

Beautiful Bed & Breakfast
My partner and I really enjoyed our stay here!
Everything about it is wonderful, the staff, location, room, views, breakfast! We couldn't have asked for more! And even after walking most of Positano would still have chosen to stay in this gorgeous place.
Be sure to walk the stairs down to the local beach and along to the main beach/ferry. As well as walk down along the street to the village.. both are such beautiful ways of getting there!
We were recommended this b&b by a friend and have already recommended it to others!
Bellissimo!

Pietros at Positano
Recently fully renovated this place is pristine. Pietro makes you very welcome and is a guide to everything. The 3 rooms are large with balconies overlooking the town and sea. You can walk to the shops and port or get the locaL bus around. The Saraceno DOr estaurant underneath is run by Pietros family and is wonderful and well priced. Meet all the locals and the family here. Breakfast is a feast taken in your room or on your balcony.

Lovely small family run bed and breakfast
This bed and breakfast was very comfy and close to the shops, restuarants and the beach. There were only 3 rooms which were in the owners house and the owners were very friendly and helpful. We were lucky to find out all the local knowledge from them.

Very well run, friendly family business. Great location. Very comfortable rooms above equally good restaurant that the family also owns.

Lovely B&B
We had a great experience at this B&B.
It's a family run place - and they are all delightful.
The room is spacious - with a big bathroom and a verandah with tables and chairs so you can enjoy the morning sun.
The location is good - not too far from the beach.
The family run the restaurant next door and give you a discount if you eat there.
Couldn't recommend this place more highly.

Living in a postcard at Positano
Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Pietro went far above and beyond the norm to provide us with a stay that is memorable for all the right reasons. Dimora del Podesta provides an opportunity to experience genuine Italian culture in the context of a family that knows how to deliver first-rate hospitality. We enjoyed all our meals at their historic restaurant downstairs and found the prices to be very reasonable. Hotel transfers were arranged without fuss and the views were incredible. Easy access to everything.

Wonderful family Bed and Breakfast
My husband and I were warmly welcomed by Pietro, the owner. He helped arrange a car for us to be transported from the airport and porter to the ferry on our departure. He was very informative about all the transits, restaurants, and all things the Amalfi Coast has to offer.The breakfast on the balcony every morning was delightful. And, his families restaurant down stairs was delicious. I highly, highly recommend staying here. Thank you Pietro!

Wonderful time in Positiano
Our place was well located with a wonderful restaurant below (10% discount). Breakfast was served outside on the balcony. Everyone was very helpful. After a hectic time in Rome, we needed the respite. We were advised of an easy way to get back to Rome via ferry to Salerno. We wholeheartedly recommend this B&B. Plus, Positano is as lovely as expected.

Welcoming Positano Experience
The owner is extremely attentive and welcoming. The rooms are clean and well maintained and the balcony views are spectacular. It is only a 20-minute walk to either of Positano's main beaches. The restaurant owned by the hotel owners is friendly and the food is excellent, local fare. The owner happily provides advice on excursions and local attractions. The breakfast, served in you room or on your balcony, is filling and a pleasant way to start the day.

Part of the family
We had a stay at Dimora del Podesta for 5 nights. I can honestly say it was our holiday within our holiday. Pietro and the staff were so helpful and the breakfasts on the balcony every morning were amazing. Everyone was so helpful and polite and made us feel at home. The family restaurant downstairs was always popular with great food at very reasonable prices. We became part of the local family.

Amazing Stay
We loved it. They are very welcoming and accommodating. Pietro is so pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean and smelt wonderful. The location was perfect and there was a staircase to the beach. Breakfast was Continental and served on our deck with the amazing view. There were some very nice additions like the fresh baked lemon bread and lots of coffee. We will be back - we loved it.

Italy September 2016 trip
The hotel room was absolutely gorgeous. You are served breakfast every morning on your own balcony. The room was clean and had a very Mediterranean feel to it. Bring your own shower items - there were no shampoos/conditioner or soap. Just soap to pump to wash your hands. There is a small blow dryer(not the strongest). All the tv channels were in Italian. There is wifi which was great. Walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants BUT there are 500 steps to go down the beach and 500 steps up. There is a lift somewhere which we never took if you can't handle the steps. There are a lot of hills and it's hard to walk so bring only flats. Scenery is gorgeous. You can catch a ferry and a bus to Capri/Ravello which is what we did. The food was okay in Positano, we loved the food way better in Sorrento.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
We can't thank Pietro and his family enough for the giving us the most sublime 3 night stay in the beautiful coastal town of Positano. Stooped in history, the quiet but wonderfully furnished 3 bedroom B&B was everything we'd wished for on our honeymoon, particularly the balcony, which allowed us to sip Prosecco and people watch in the cool evening.
Pietro, with his welcoming demeanour, advice and Italian charm could not do enough for us. The breakfast he served was plentiful with pastries, cheese and ham toasties, yoghurt, tea, croissants, homemade lemon cake and of course coffee!
I cannot wait to return. Keep up the incredible work Pietro and family, you are a credit to your community and everyone who visits!

Amazing
Location was great for us (late 20s couple) some older people may not appreciate the amount of stairs up from the beach (they can get the bus) Nice spacious room, comfy beds. What really made this stay amazing was our host Peter, he organised parking for us upon our arrival, prepared a beautiful breakfast on our balcony every morning, he asked us about our day and tried to give his input into how best to spend our time to maximise our Positano experience. Highly recommend this place, you wont regret it.

Perfect B&B in Positano!
We spent a few days in Positano and our stay at Dimora Del Podesta was absolutely perfect. The rooms were clean and comfortable, just as expected. Pietro was the most amazing host - making sure to help us with planning our visit while we were there. The daily breakfast on the balcony overlooking the views was so nice. We would definitely recommend this B&B to our friends and family and will for sure stay here when we return.

A gem in Positano
We can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at Dimora del Podestà. We enjoyed a spacious and comfortable room with a stunning view of the bay. The three brothers that run the B&B did everything imaginable to make our stay pleasant. Pietro helped arrange our car transfer to and from Positano, walked us through a local map to help us get oriented and provided helpful itinerary suggestions. The restaurant that the family runs below the rooms is fantastic and had some of the tastiest and most reasonably priced food in the village. Our favorite part of the stay was having a relaxed breakfast on our balcony each morning. Plenty of delicious coffee and morning treats before a leisurely stroll down to the central part of the city.

Would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Positano.

Authentic Italian Experience
If you are looking for great views, very friendly hosts, oodles of restaurant choices, then Positano is for you. Mind you, along with that comes lots of stairs to climb, narrow streets, wild Italian drivers and hot temperatures - but it is all worth it.
Dimora del Podesta is a small B&B in what I was told is a 500 or so year old building. No worries though, it is up to date and very casual. Each room has a private balcony overlooking the narrow street with those great Amalfi coast views.
The host provided breakfast on the balcony each morning. A 10% discount in the restaurant below was also granted as the family owns it as well.
Each evening the music from the restaurant and from some travelling musicians provided a pleasant atmosphere to sit and relax on the balcony or in the room.
Location is great but beware, there are a lot of steps to get to the beach. Of course going down is ok - it's the return trip that stretches the limits of your physical abilities. If you have any problems walking, best to take a taxi or rent a motorbike.
We'd return for a second visit in a heartbeat!

Best for the price
Host was extremely helpful and friendly. Bed was the most comfortable in my travels in Italy And room and view beautiful. Good location and fairly close to beaches and main drag. Attached restaurant (10% off if you're staying there) was quite good (but skip the house wine imho). Bang for your buck, this place was top notch.

Don't be afraid to stay in B&B
Just fantastic. Could not wish to have frindlier or warmer or more caring host then Danielle and Pietro. We will be back for sure. And the restaurant in the same building is really, really good.

I love this place
Super friendly host, nice room with a balcony, and convenient location as well. I really enjoyed Positano and this guest house, Definately I would go there again. Also on the ground floor there is a nice restaurant, foods are so nice and I went there every day. They offer a discount for the room guests.

Lovely family run B&B
Rooms are large, clean and have a very local real feel. Very conveniently located in Positano and the owner Pietro is very helpful with info and attentive to the various needs. Lovely atmosphere and a plus is the downstairs restaurant run by the rest of his family, really good quality.

Great B&B with friendly and helpful host, Pietro!
We absolutely loved Dimora del Podesta and their restaurant next door, Saracena d' Oro! Our room was gigantic with a great, huge balcony where Pietro served us our delicious breakfast. It was a great location and wonderful view. Pietro was a fantastic host and very helpful! The room was exceptionally clean, and we would love to return!

Just lovely
What a superb B&B. We loved it from start to finish, even from before we arrived there, after the owner sent us a really kind email asking if we needed parking, then booking a space in the car park which is RIGHT NEXT to the B&B. Wonderful. Service was fantastically friendly and kind all through our visit, and we just loved the room. It was huge and charming, including a mural on the wall of the view from our window, painted in the 1940s!! Our balcony had a lovely view, and though it overlooked the street and the family's restaurant, this didn't disturb us at all (and I normally hate rooms that overlook the road). We loved the buzzy atmosphere it gave, and made us feel part of 'Positano life' for a brief while. Breakfast was brought to us out on our balcony, so we could enjoy the lovely view for even longer, while soaking up the morning sun. The shops and restaurants of Positano were just down the road, and the beach was a 10-15 minute walk away. Altogether wonderful.

Felt like part of the family
The owner made our trip. He was just fantastic. Breakfast was an absolute delight, served out on the balcony of our room. The room itself was spacious and breezy and very clean. Perfect for a couple. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Comfortable and romantic B&B
My fiance and I stayed at the Dimora del Podesta for two nights. The B&B was very beautiful, quaint and romantic and actually is the traditional home of the family that owns and operates it. Pietro, the host and part of the family that owns the B&B, was very friendly and made us feel comfortable, bringing our breakfast to the outdoor patio of our room and giving us many good recommendations on things to see and do (like go to the local beach instead of the main touristy beach). The restaurant downstairs (Saracen D'Oro) is also owned and operated by the family and was delicious - locals had recommended the restaurant to us without even knowing that we were staying there and we ended up eating there both nights of our stay. The B&B is located off the center of Positano, which was nice for us since we weren't in the main touristy area but could take a 10 minute walk to get there if we wanted to. We highly recommend this B&B and have no complaints!

Beautiful B&B in Beautiful Positano!!!
Pietro was the perfect host during our stay in Positano!!!!! He treated us royally...from providing information on Positano to serving us a delicious breakfast on our bougainvillea-draped balcony to making us a sandwich to take on the ferry to Capri!!!! Another highlight was dining at his family's adjoining restaurant, where we enjoyed a delightful and delicious meal of veal scallopini in lemon sauce and ravioli in lemon cream sauce!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing...make sure you stay here!
We stayed at Dimora del Podesta for 2 nights and did not want to leave. In a beautiful location in Positano, Dimora del Podesta seriously has it all. The little balcony was just gorgeous for breakfast or an afternoon vino. The view was stunning, our room was beautiful, clean and well equipped. But, the best thing about Dimora is the host Pietro. Pietro was amazing! So hospitable and willing to provide anything you need, Pietro really goes above and beyond to ensure his guests have a great time. He took time out to help us plan our days, gave us so much insight into the history of the area and his family (who also own the delicious restaurant downstairs), I seriously doubt you would find this anywhere else. Thanks again Pietro for a fabulous stay, hopefully we can return one day.

Friendly and inviting
The welcome we received on our arrival at Dimora del Podesta was wonderful. The owner Pietro did everything he could to make our stay as pleasant as he possibly could. The accommodation was lovely with beautiful sea view. The room which my husband and I shared with our daughter was really spacious and we were brought breakfast every morning on the balcony overlooking Positano and the bay. Dimora del Podesta is in the centre of Positano, and the centre of the Amalfi Coast. You obviously have lots of steps but that's the nature of the place.
