Villa Briganti

The views and hospitality simply don’t get any better than this, and it’s well worth the climb to reach. Federica and Rosetta run a smooth, clean, impressive operation, and are very skilled in the kitchen. We miss them, their wonderful breakfasts (my favorite: Uovo Purgatorio), and delicious homemade lemoncello, and of course the stunning, unforgettable views from their terrace! We wouldn’t hesitate to return — and we will! A few tips for guests: 1) As the description indicates, the villa is not on a street at all. It is actually the lower level of a multi-level villa perched on a scenic cliffside that you reach by climbing a series of winding staircases from the nearest street below. 2) If you have anything larger than a small weekend bag, definitely hire a porter to bring your bags to the villa — especially if you are arriving by ferry. You will regret it otherwise! (Because our week-long stay was part of a 15-day trip with 2 large suitcases 1 small one, and 2 hand-held bags, porters were an absolute must for us.) 3) If arriving by ferry, ignore GPS walking directions — even to the nearby Hotel Posa Posa on the nearest street. GPS can be completely off and misdirect you repeatedly so that you end up walking needlessly up challenging pedestrian staircases that don’t take you where you need to go. Instead, buy shuttlebus tickets at any tobacco shop in town, take the “Interno” bus from the main stop in town (Piazza dei Mulini), get off at the Fornillo stop (at a small cave-like setting adjacent to Hotel Posa Posa), then climb the 180 steps to the villa. 4) Although you can take any city shuttlebus from the Fornillo stop (at Hotel Posa Posa) down to the main square in town (the last stop on each line, Piazza dei Mulini), ONLY the Interno Positano bus will return you to the Fornillo stop when it’s time to return to the guesthouse. If you hop onto any other bus going up, you will not get there.

Initially, the endless steps — but trust me, you'll very quickly get used to them! Besides, if you expect to visit anywhere in Positano without climbing steps — many of them — you're being delusional. As a bonus, they help to offset the calories from all the pasta, pizza, seafood, and gelato you'll consume every day! ;)

run by a lovely family ; we were greeted and made to feel very welcome throughout the whole stay . incredible views - mediterranean sea and positano .spacious accomodation. federica offers breakfast for an additional fee.

you need to walk 188 steps up and then 52 down - we looked at it as a fitness challenge- but it’s not for the injured or unfit traveller .

Rosetta and her daughter treated us like family. Amazing location, super clean, and unbelievable views. Would highly recommend and would stay again in the future. My highlight was Chico, the beautiful dog of Rosetta and Rosetta’s cooking. She served us lunch and breakfast on the breath taking terrace.

Incredible panoramic views of Positano, beautiful staff and outstanding service and food options. Comfortable room and well equipped bathroom.

The host was excellent. Very friendly. When we arrived she asked us if we were hungry, and then she made us an Italian pasta. The breakfast had a lot of tasty options. Communication was perfect. They respond immediately and coordinate everything, even additional requests. The view in the terrace is amazing, you can easily spend your evenings in the hotel. I highly recommend this place for a romantic vacation in Positano.

The stairs are very long. But they hire people to carry your luggage.

The hosts made us feel like family. I would not want to go anywhere else

Nothing. It was great

Amazing view, wonderful food, and Federicka and Rosetta, the mother and daughter hosts, were so sweet and helpful. They’re excellent hosts, make amazing food, and gave great referrals for restaurants, transportation, and everything else.

It was great!

Federica and mother were so kind and welcoming. The breakfasts on the terrace were unforgettable, you’ll definitely want to order additional menu items and try the chili marmalade!

It was a pleasure to stay at Roseta and Federica propriety. Our flight was delayed for about 6 hours, and we arrived really later than expected, and around 1am. Federica helped to change the transfer accordingly, and Roseta offer to make food for us, even late at night. She made some fresh bruschettas and they were the best we ate during our 20 days Italy travel. They are really caring and we felt at home. The view of the propriety is amazing, the bedroom very comfortable, the shower pretty good too, the breakfast was delicious, everything amazing!

The view was breathtaking as well as property. Hosts were very accommodating

A lot of steps but that’s Positano
