This was the best hospitality experience I had on my vacation to Italy. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The property was beautiful and clean. The views from the room were amazing. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Property is lovely but would not be suitable for elderly or those with hip or knee impairments as lots of stairs. Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast location has an absolutely stunning view with friendly staff. Only negative was the shower … poor design, very small, no shelving.

Far too many steps and not user friendly.

The breakfast was very poor quality, staff almost not available.

Overall, great location, too expensive and no amenities.

The breakfast we great to have every morning.
The rooms were spotless and cleaned every day.

Serenity and adventure in Positano

This hotel was amazing. Staff were especially lovely. Alejandro was the best breakfast morning manager and Emmanuel in the evening for dinners. Great AC and the accommodations were great. WiFi very good. Lots of steps to find this hotel. Map it out before you arrive!!

This place was such a great find in Positano. The Villa is an extension of a bigger, luxurious hotel just up the path, and the amazing staff at the hotel treat you like any other guest (but you pay much less). Breakfast on the glorious terrace is amazing, buffet food and table service for coffees. The room was made up every day. There were porters to help with your luggage on arrival and departure. You’re on the edge of town, which I enjoyed - a lovely wander down into the heart of Positano, or you’re really well located to walk down to Fornillo beach for a swim.
Recommend to reach out to the hotel for specific instructions on arrival depending how you get to Positano - it’s easy once you’re there but hard to understand from the map.
My room was compact but very clean and comfortable.

The property's views were great, and the Hotel was close to the town center. The main breakfast area and restaurant were very nice.

Several issues were not apparent until we arrived at the Hotel. First, the main Hotel has a different name and is separate from this portion of the property. You must climb about 80 steps to get to the main hotel area. The steps leading up to the Hotel are not part of the property; they are dirty allies with steep steps.

The included breakfast was so so, with no hot items, and you had to pay extra for eggs.

The sink was not flushing when we arrived, but the issue was corrected once we told the front desk. There were several spiders in our room and the bathroom.

Avoid room 603. Like us, you may be lured by the economy of this basic room but upon arrival you will quickly be asking for an upgrade . Thankfully they were able to accommodate our request a few hours and a few euros later. The restaurant is fantastic.

Great location. Staff is amazing.
I think that it is a little over prized. Only cons are that some amenities are too old, as an example: the TV: we have to call the hotel staff 3 times to make the TV work. There was a little mouse in the property, but it looks nobody bothered to get a trap for it. It was very little mouse, but still.
Again, the staff is great, which makes our stay better.

Everyone was super nice, the view is fantastic, but the walk!!!!! Thank goodness for porters!! Plan to spend whole day down below so you can avoid multiple trips. Also eating dinner in town is basically not an option. Also thank goodness for room service if you're tired!! And also thank goodness for the young man who lugs your suitcases to the road!! Oh, and walls were super thin. Ear plugs!!

Great stay in a lovely hotel

We had a lovely time at Conca d'Oro and Villa Giovanni. The view from the hotel is amazing and the sun deck stunning.
I would probably book a regular room in the actual hotel next time, even though the villa rooms were grand, the view was not as good.
It's in a great area close to everything, the service is perfect, food great and we would stay again.
Unfortunately, their internet is not great and it's good to keep in mind the hotel looses the sun around 16.00.

Nice view, good room, average experience

The hotel is not known as it is advertised, you need to check in at a sister hotel, similarly there is no bag service from the port so it costs €10 per bag to and from hotel unless you want to carry your babe up 500 steps or so to the hotel.. The staff were pleasant, although the Italian idea of customer service differs somewhat when it comes to flexibility.
Although the photos show what appears as a reasonable size pool, pool lounges are included on the list of amenity, and it comes up as having a pool on the filter - this is misleading as it is at best a small jacuzzi -and located at the sister hotel - breakfast is ok but you must pay for anything egg based; otherwise food experience pretty average at hotel - wifi was very average to non existent - staff were helpful with organising dinner bookings and bike hire. It is on the outskirts of Positano so if you want to be in town...,

Very nice location, great view over the sea / bay. Quite a lot of stairs, be prepared for that. Old house, you will hear everything that happens in the hall / other rooms quite well, and no dark curtains (sun gets into your room from early morning) / do not expect to sleep long in the morning.

un picevole soggiorno

soggiorno molto piacevole, si cammina un po' per arrivare in centro, ma andando a Positano è una cosa da mettere in conto. Malgrado le 3 stelle l'albergo, per struttura e servizio, potrebbe essere tranquillamente un 4 stelle.in particolare Villa Principe, separata dall'albergo principale, è molto tranquilla e con una bellissima vista.

Pessima villa principe Giovanni,buono conca d'oro

Per fortuna abbiamo richiesto di cambiare camera e siamo stati spostati all'hotel conca d'oro , stessa proprietà ma molto più confortevole ! La \"suite\" con vista mare della villa principe Giovanni è una specie di cantina con puzza di umido e muffa con vista mare possibile solo arrampicandosi sulla ringhiera !bagno senza finestre con acqua della doccia tiepida! Infine x la colazione bisogna uscire ed andare al conca d'oro .... Che vuol dire 250 gradini a piedi su un'altra strada e sotto la pioggia al mattino non era il massimo !!! Bisogna informare bene le persone , non prenderle in giro !!!! Conca d'oro hotel ok!! Villa principe Giovanni di \"Villa \" ha veramente poco !!!
