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!

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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! Jonny & Michelle X Ps- the family restaurant below is also superb!

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.
