Incredible views, a quiet neighborhood, and fantastic staff

Review of Hotel Vittoria
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Aug 2023
There are so many choices in Positano, but we were so thrilled with our choice to stay at the Hotel Vittoria. Downtown Positano is extremely busy and quite touristy, while the Hotel Vittoria just a ten minute walk around the corner is much quieter. While it's of course still in a touristy area, the Fornillo neighborhood is at least less clogged with day-trippers. The best day of our trip to the Amalfi Coast was our day at the Vittoria's "Pupetto Beach Club" at Fornillo Beach, and the views from the Hotel Vittoria terrace were jaw-dropping. In four days there we never ceased to be amazed by the views, and we were so sad to leave. On top of all this, the staff at the Hotel Vittoria are excellent. They were extremely friendly and helpful, even booking a taxi for us when the ferries were canceled. If you're going to Positano but you want a slightly quieter neighborhood and a slightly quieter beach, we can't recommend Hotel Vittoria and Fornillo Beach strongly enough!

Hotel Vittoria was an INCREDIBLE boutique hotel that blew all expectations!! It’s was delightful staying somewhere with a limited number of rooms. We were in room 82 which had the largest outdoor terrace. Huge shoutout to Roberta. She worked the desk almost every night of our stay. She was incredible helpful and kind.

The hotel serves a great complementary breakfast each morning. I typically made a plate and brought it back to my wife where we enjoyed it in our private terrace. They will make you coffee as well. In the evening they will also serve you any type of alcohol drink.

The hotel is not accessible by car. We parked before approaching the hotel in a shared lot. The hotel then had two porters help get our luggage from the car park to the hotel. All extremely seamless.

Being on Fornilla beach was a blessing. The one day we adventured to Positano down town was a harsh reality. There were SO many people - it was extremely congested and chaotic. As soon as we got back to Fornilla beach area. there was a sigh of relief. All of the restaurants were much less crowded. We enjoyed all 4 beach restaurants (down from the hotel). You just take their internal elevator to the lowest floor. This actually saves your some 250 steps. From the base level you are looking at another some 200 steps to reach the beach. The entire Positano area requires stairs. These beach restaurants “shacks” were some of our favorite spots!

You will NOT be disappointed booking here. Extremely fair pricing with a great “home” like feeling. To the hotel management team, job WELL done!!

Side note: we brought a sound machine which I would recommend. There seems to be a lot of dogs barking throughout morning and day time. This has nothing to do with the hotel as there are a lot of private homes. Just figured I would share this information :)

Also: there is another elevator that does not work. It seemed some reviews said it’s possible to take a second external elevator in order to avoid the some 200 steps to the beach. This is officially a non-working elevator. Would be great if they ever decided to fix this. Although I’m sure it’s a costly endeavor.

Room tip: BOOK THIS HOTEL!!

We really loved our stay here in Positano. I cannot recommend this hotel enough!!

The rooms are very spacious, incredible balconies with sweeping views, quiet, great shower pressure, very clean and run by a lovely family who are happy to help you with anything and everything.

The buffet breakfast is also great and the views from the terrace are magnificent. Complimentary coffee, scrambled eggs, bacon, yoghurt, fruit, toast, croissant, as you please.

The beds are very comfy, the room is very spacious and clean. I would’ve loved to stay longer, it felt like a real vacation here where you are looked after.

There’s only about 20 rooms in the hotel so it feels nice and quiet and not too busy around you.

The hospitality and helpfulness of the staff/ reception is fantastic. They are kind and helpful and made our stay so much more comfortable (if that was possible).

Thank you again!!! Will recommend to all family and friends when they ask where to stay in Positano.

Room tip: This place is an absolute gem, book early if you want to stay here!

wonderful stay. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Great location and delicious breakfast. Beautiful and great views. Highly recommend! The location is quiet and short walk into town. Lots of stairs but you find that everywhere in Positano. also, easy walk to beach and great restaurants. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend this beautiful hotel. It is tucked away on the quieter side of Positano with a direct path leading down to Fornillo beach (much nicer than the main one in Positano). The rooms were very spacious with beautiful tiled bathrooms including a bathtub. The highlight was the massive balcony (recommend booking the top floor rooms), which had deck chairs and tables with incredible views over positano. The buffet breakfast was plentiful, fresh and the coffees delicious. The service was fantastic and the rooms and hotel kept impeccably clean. The only downside is that their is no direct car access. Our taxi dropped us off at the top of a set of long stairs. A porter from the hotel helped us with all our suitcases. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Nice hotel with ocean view on the edge of the cliff on the quieter side of Positano. Rooms and balconies were very spacious and clean.
It is quite a trek to reach the hotel as it’s right on the top of the hill. Once you reach half way to main square you can catch a taxi if available, walk or get a bus. We had to walk and pay Porter service to take our luggage.
We did not know that hotel can send a Porter to the ferry when you arrive and bring your bags (only) to the hotel for free.

Room tip: hotel can send a Porter to the ferry when you arrive and bring your bags (only) to the hotel for free.
