Guest Reviews

• Carolina (10/5): Peaceful, calm and relaxing! - The owner was extremely kind and gave us some fabulous recommendations for dinner. We truly enjoyed the location and views the garden had to offer. It was a dream and I would highly recommend to all travelers!
• Payam (7/5): -
• Anna (8/5): Brilliant hotel, very attentive staff. Thankyou for having us! - Homely and very welcoming.
• Emily (9/5): Incredible on all fronts! - The location is in the quieter area of Positano which is perfect if you want to stay away from the crowds. The garden is absolutely stunning and enjoying the delicious breakfast there every morning was hard to beat! There are a few friendly cats around that we loved playing with. The rooms are super spacious and the mini fridge was a great addition. It feels very safe. You could hear through the walls quite easily and there were a lot of steps to get to the property which makes carrying large suitcases difficult!
• Dvoracek (8/5): - Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt
• Jessica (9/5): Beautiful breakfast with a view and memorable. - The rooms on the first floor are beautiful, they have an amazing private garden balcony and views of the ocean, as well as a shared garden space. Having breakfast and just lounging out there was one of the best parts of our visit to Positano. The shower was a little funky, it’s a shower head overtop a big bathtub so it got water all over the place.
• Chad (10/5): Personalized Positano perfection! - The views are amazing, staff was very responsive and informative. The property owner greeted with us daily during breakfast. Lots of stairs but worth quiet and serenity. Hire luggage porter if heavy bags.
• Yoav (9/5): Great place, good value, would recommend - The view and the room. Good value. Like many other properties in town, access is VERY HARD from the port and requires the suitcases carried up by porters. We didn’t understand how hard it would be (due to no fault of the hotel)
• Tytti (5/5): En varaisi tätä hotellia toistamiseen. - Aamiaisen paras puoli oli puutarha, jossa se tarjottiin. Huone oli ikävä, tahrainen peitto ja kurja wc tekivät olon epämukavaksi.
• Marcel (10/5): -
• Luis Alejandro (10/5): - It is best hotel in town. The rooms is gorgeous and pretty. It has one of the best views of the mountain and sea at the same time. The garden where you take your breakfast (which it is included) is marvelous. It is super beautiful and the views from it are the same. They serve to the table in breakfast or you can have a couple of beers. The staff was super helpful and they send me a lot of messages before check-in so look after my need into the town. Consider Positano is super hard to navigate and the staff sent me a step by step picture of the road to the Hotel. Nothing everything was great.
• gallo (8/5): - Accoglienza,animali ammessi!!!e il giardino davanti la camera,magnifico
• Lindsey (10/5): Memories of a life time! - EVERYTHING… the views and staff and rooms were AMAZING! Breakfast in the courtyard over the ocean was breathtaking and the fresh fruit on property was delicious! The staff went above and beyond! Will definitely recommend to everyone The Stairs but that is all postitano
• Giuseppe (10/5): - Struttura molto bella in ottima posizione affacciata sul mare !! Letti molto comodi , proprietario gentilissimo! Colazione ottima servita sul cortile immerso nel verde affacciato sul mare ! Il tutto un quadro dipinto dalla natura
• Julliet (10/5): -
• Tracy (10/5): Love md the quiet location. Great rooms. Friendly staff! - Great location. Incredible staff! I liked everything! I do wish there were water kettles in each room but not a huge deal.
• Sofia Gortsouli (10/5): - Beautiful views and great service! The breakfast was very rich!!! Loved our stay!!! Good value for money. The garden of the hotel is also another top. Highly suggested!
• Mercedes (5/5): -
• Patricia (10/5): -
• Kombe Véronique (9/5): -
• noam (9/5): -
• Gianmaria (10/5): -
• Holyfield (10/5): Magical, but difficulty sleeping - Staff was beyond wonderful, so helpful and kind. View from the location was outstanding Mold in my room
• Harald (9/5): Sehr schöner Kurzaufenthalt in Positano - Traumhafter Ausblick, gute Lage
• Katarzyna (9/5): - Great garden, beautiful view, helpful staff, nice terrace, good breakfast. If you're sure you're ready for Positano it's a great place to stay Stairs, so many stairs, everywhere - I'm not talking about the hotel itself, but about the way to get to the hotel. Doesn't matter if you use the bus/ferry/car you still need to climb and later go down hundreds of stairs. Also - The shower's drain was clogged
• Aude (8/5): Emplacement de rêve - Logement en plein centre de Positano, avec terrasse privative avec vue mer incroyable ! Personnel très gentil et serviable. Sèche cheveux pas qualitatif Literie moyennement confortable
• Julia (8/5): Schöne Unterkunft für ein paar Tage mit tollen Ausblick mit kleinen Abzügen. - Schöne Lage am zweiten Strand von Positano. Sehr nettes Personal, toller Ausblick mit Garten und wunderschöne Terrasse. Das Bad hätte etwas sauberer sein können. Die Armaturen waren voller Kalkflecken und das Wasser leider nur lauwarm.
• Semwal (10/5): Absolutely worth it! - Lovely place, truly a hidden gem in positano, our host, Vincent and Alex were so good and helpful to us, the rooms are big, clean and comfortable, the view, balcony and open areas are so good. Our positano trip is memorable because of the hospitality and comfort. Don’t worry about the steps, every step to this place is worth it!
• Kerrie (8/5): Lovely getaway - Hotel Dimora is a lovely getaway from the hustle and bustle of downtown Positano. The views while having breakfast were spectacular.
• kovrob (10/5): Beautiful days in Positano. - The place, the Hotel is beautiful. The hotel staff were very kind and helpful. The day started with delicious breakfasts, wonderful coffee, and a beautiful view. I can recommend it to everyone. We will definitely come back here again. Thank you for everything. Niki and Robert, from Hungary.
• Daniel Enrique (8/5): - La vosta desde la habitacion y el trato del personal La ubicacion del hotel hace que tengas un dificil acceso al centro de Positano y a la playa.
• moriaha890 (10/5): A magical place!! - Incredible! We walked around the entire city, and this hotel had by far the best view. I was in awe every time I looked out our door windows. I will absolutely stay here some day. Super kind staff, accommodating and helpful! Wonderful breakfast included in the morning. This place was magical, I already miss it. I can’t recommend it enough. We lived this haven on our Italy trip.
• Marta (9/5): Fantastico giardino con vista - I ragazzi presenti al check-in ci sono venuti incontro per aiutarci con le valigie e si sono proposti di farlo anche al check-out senza alcun costo aggiuntivo. Davvero gentili. Se avessi saputo prima che il posto era cosi bello avrei valutato di fare una notte aggiuntiva. Piccolezze rispetto al complesso del soggiorno.
• piel (9/5): - Le petit-déjeuner sur la terrasse avec une vue à couper le souffle, l’emplacement près de la plage de Fornillo plus tranquille que la plage du centre. Le personnel aux petits soins et très réactif aux messages Rien
• Estefanía (10/5): Estancia única y de ensueño - Todo! El hotel es espectacular y las vistas aún más. Todo limpio y muy bien decorado. Personal muy amable. Las terrazas que tienen para desayunar son impresionantes. El desayuno muy rico. Sin duda repetiría una y mil veces mi experiencia en positano. Ah! Y tienen unos gatos en los jardines que son un encanto jajajaja unos anfitriones perfectos! Todo me encantó.
• JOHN (10/5): - Great place to stay while visiting this beautiful city.
• YONGHO (10/5): 고마워요 - 졸라 좋았음 그냥 바다랑 야경 다보임 무한 계단이있어서 포터 서비스 15유로정도 이용할것을 강력 추천!
• Urs (10/5): -
• Ewa (10/5): - Lokalizacja Balkon Widoki Uzgodnienie miejsca parkowania Parking zarezerwowany przez hotel za dodatkową opłatą 50 euro Blisko z parkingu Trochę schodów. Nic
• Janelle (10/5): -
• O7836IXwilliamt (10/5): Great location - Great location with easy access to the beaches and town. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. Note that there are steps required to reach the hotel. V
• Richard L (10/5): - Everyone was great!
• N6422JQtylerp (10/5): Perfect Location - View, room, breakfast, and location were perfect. Highly recommended. If we didn't have a flight home we would have booked another night.
• andrewtX29HB (10/5): Amazing Experience, Beautiful Views - Absolutely beautiful location. The patio area opened up to a garden with a full water view, and the room was sparse but had everything we needed. We didn't have the breakfast in the morning, but it smelled delicious. And the staff was so kind and helpful, helped us get to the hotel and schedule our bags with porters for the morning. The steps are quite the surprise, even though I knew they were coming, so be prepared to climb. The views and rooms are definitely worth it.
• Bahar (4/5): - This is a small 7-room property that needs renovation, especially the bathrooms. Our shower drain was clogged the entire stay despite repeated complaints; the owner ignored the issue, though the younger staff tried to help. Rooms and furniture are very dated, with the only plus being the view. Also, the “7-minute walk” claim is misleading—it’s more like a 15–20 minute hike up 300 steps.
• Jerry (10/5): Staff were excellent - Room was very nice, staff were outstanding Lot of steps but we knew that
• Henry (8/5): -
• Maja (10/5): Charming!! - Amazing place! Family owned with very accommodating and nice staff. Very tasty breakfast in the garden with lovely views. The owner who lived in Positano his whole life added to the charm of this place. Rooms had everything you’d possibly need, bonus: big balcony with chairs to lay. The hotel doesn’t have many rooms so everything seemed intimate and calm. Of course you need to take stairs to get everywhere, but it’s not a long walk down to the beach and even shorter walk up to restaurants. If we come back to Positano we will be staying here again. Cuddly cats on the property - another big plus!
• Journey37910103314 (10/5): Stunning views and friendly staff - The views from this hotel are incredible. Breakfast served outside on the terrace is perfect. Very reasonably priced and staff are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Even helped us with bags when we left. It is high up so would be hard to access if you had mobility issues. Though I think that might be a common issue in the area. Thanks for a lovely stay and the upgrade!
• Francesco (10/5): PAUSA RELAX IN UNA OASI - La stanza spaziosa e molto pulita. La colazione in giardino davvero romantica. La possibilità di uscire dal cancello sul retro e scendere circa 200 scalini che ti portano direttamente sulla spiaggia di Forillo
• Leanne (7/5): Beautiful view but… - The view was the best part of the accommodation. The room was bigger than what I thought it would be. The bed was very comfortable. The balcony was fairly large (but not private) and the wooden doors to the balcony were very nice. I didn’t use the balcony as it was too humid and hot to stay out there. The owner/staff were accommodating with breakfast, making me a cheese toastie on one occasion-not something Italians generally eat I believe. Breakfast was sufficient. Great coffee/cappuccinos! The courtyard area directly from the dining area is lovely and romantic looking. The WiFi worked well in reception and my room. The beach down the steps from the accommodation is beautiful looking towards the rock face and the water looked aqua and clear. There are several restaurants along the beach that I considered pricey (Australian dollar is terrible). In the bathroom I was greeted by multiple dead ants on the window sill and down the wall behind my fresh clean towels. It appears the ants had been sprayed and killed but not wiped away. The last straw was a little later when I found a few live ants crawling at the top of the shower. So I then informed staff and a staff member attended. Weirdly, I further found what appeared to be several dead rolled up ants on the sheet inside the bed, which was not pleasant. Then staff called the owner and attended. The bed was stripped and remade with clean sheets, the bathroom was sprayed and wiped and they also wiped the floor. The owner did later apologise for the ant issue in my room and stated that it was hard to find good staff. I did not have anymore issues with ant for the next two days. The room has very basic cheap furniture in it which appears quite old. The corner moulded bedside table was a bit grubby and needed a repaint. The shower base had many cracks in its edges. A couple of the plants on the balcony did not appear to be cared for. The larger garden expanse from the lovely courtyard area off reception needs a bit more loving care. There were weeds in various areas and generally it was not so inviting. The price for water at reception was a bit expensive. But they have you a bit cornered as it is many steps away and a lot of effort to obtain cheaper water from a shop up the hill. Speaking of, you definitely need GPS to navigate going to the shops or restaurants further up the hill. The streets (called via) are more like walking paths/steps between buildings. If I had my time again I would not have stayed in Positano (Fornillo or Positano centre). First of all, it’s too expensive for what it is and in Fornillo the amount of steps to the very few shops and restaurants above in such high humidity and heat is too much. I knew there were going to be steps, but the humidity and heat was next level!
• Kerri (10/5): Short but stunning views. Thank you - Beautiful views from the terrace. Staff friendly and helpful. Tough walk up with cases but it was worth it. That’s the area too!
• Amber (9/5): - Loved the view and patio, how helpful and kind Franco always was, the morning breakfast, and it was in a good area between the less busy beach and town! I would happily stay here again! The bathroom had an odd smell and the shower was tiny with changing water temps, but really that is the only complaint. It could definitely be remodeled soon and be 100% perfect.
• Candice (8/5): -
• H6748TNkenm (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Positano - Great location in Positano - convenient to the beach, with fantastic views. Great staff! Wonderful balcony with incredible coastline views.
• Daniel (10/5): - Perfect place to stay!
• Mariano (10/5): -
• 673jackp (10/5): Delightful stay - What a wonderful experience and what a wonderful staff ..clean , convenient and very accommodating.. Shout out to Franco ..TOP 🫶🏻
• Mahmoud (8/5): Befriedigend. - Der Meerblick ist fantastisch. Freundliches Personal. Die Entfernung vom Zentrum, vor allem bei so vielen Stufen. Das System des Frühstücks.
• Road18248342445 (8/5): Great little hotel - We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Dimora Fornillo. The staff were very helpful and gave clear arrival instructions and also arranged for our luggage to be delivered by Porters (which I highly recommend). We had a superior large room which had the most amazing view. With the view comes stairs, but the hotel is located between the road above and beach below, so is manageable. The room was lovely and clean. This hotel is very quaint and the breakfast is served in the garden overlooking the sea. The staff also helped arrange our departure and helped with our luggage which was most appreciated. I felt this hotel was good value and would recommend to my friends.
• ibrahim (9/5): Muhteşem Positano - Otelin manzarası çok güzeldi. Çalışanlar nazik ve yardımseverdi.Kahvaltısı normaldi. Banyoda duş perdesi vardı. Modernize edilmesi gerekir diye düşünüyorum. Denize inmek için çok fazla merdiven mevcut.Positanonun genelinde durum böyle.Engelli yaşlı küçük çocuklu ailelere çok uygun olmayabilir.
• Pérez Blanco (10/5): Encantadora y cómoda! - Las vistas, el acceso al jardín a todas horas, y el camino directo y privado a la playa ! La nevera hacía ruido por la noche y los vasos estaban sucios, por lo demás todo bien !
• Marian Eduard (10/5): - Pozitionare excelenta, personalul extrem de prietenos.
• Bensu (10/5): Highly Recommended - The view is breathtaking and the location is very good, at the heath of all the attractions but still quite. The staff is very friendly, especially Franco helped with carrying our luggages. I highly recommend this place!
• 27madelinep (10/5): Great experience! - My best friend and I stayed here our first time visiting Positano. We absolutely loved this hotel, we had an amazing stay! The courtyard and the terraces had a stunning view. The staff were also extremely helpful and kind! The beach is accessible from the hotel. Be prepared for the stairs. We will stay here again
• Nardella (10/5): We didn’t want to leave. - Amazing staff and location over looking the water. Breakfast was perfect start to our day.
• Laura (7/5): Good -
• Olya (10/5): Exceptional - I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Positano! The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The views from the hotel were absolutely breathtaking - waking up to the sight of the sea and the colorful town was unforgettable. The location was perfect, and everything was clean and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back again. Thank you for making our stay so special!
• Brett (10/5): Lovely hotel! - Centrally located, spacious room, complimentary breakfast.
• Christopher (5/5): Passable -
• Tahmid (9/5): Overall fantastic, would visit again! - The view and the room were stunning. Location was fantastic, we significantly enjoyed the secondary beach compared to the primary. Staff were fantastic. Bathroom could have been cleaner, no tea and coffee in the room. Needed to go to kitchen for this. Not the best products in the bathroom.
• Tahmassian (9/5): Amazing view, amazing lication, big size rooms! - Location and view Bathrooms were too small
• Andreea (10/5): Cozy and confortable - Room is very big, clean and the garden and view is amazing!! Highly recomanded!
• vovkvika1 (10/5): Amazing stay at Hotel Dimora Fornillo - My stay at Hotel Dimora Fornillo was perfect in every way. The hotel was ideal—conveniently located near the Fornillo beach. Just a 5-minute walk to the beach via stairs. The check-in process was seamless, with warm, professional staff who made me feel instantly welcome. Moreover, staff was incredibly attentive providing help whenever needed. The service was top-notch! My room was cozy and had breathtaking sea view from its terrace. Having breakfast at the hotel’s yard was a highlight. Enjoying breakfast with such a beautiful view was truly amazing. The breakfast buffet was simple, but very delicious. I’ll absolutely be back—and recommending it to anyone heading this way.
• Discover49794559736 (10/5): Loved the Hotel Dimora Fornillo - We loved Hotel Dimora Fornillo. The hotel was adorable and is a perfect spot to take advantage of the beach club. They helped us with reservations to Chic Mama (which was an insanely fun experience). Also it really felt like visiting family because Franco and the staff were so helpful and sweet. The wifi was pretty spotty but honestly not a big deal because it forced you to enjoy the views. Make sure that we pay for the porters to bring your bags to the hotel. The 15 euros per bag sounds like a lot but it will save you a lot of pain.
• Stephanie (10/5): Loved it!!! - Loved it!! It is up 1,000,000 stairs but so worth it! Staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful, we met the owner too and he was great. Beautiful views from the property and very central. Send you good instructions before you check in and help with getting your bags there.
• Benge (9/5): Superb -
• Martin (7/5): Nice location in Positano - Nice location - although a bit of a walk (which is true for many hotels in Positano). Nice and clean room and very helpful personnel and owner. It’s really a wonderful property (incl the garden!) and a nice stay should be ensured. The only downside for us was that the place seems to be a bit dated and could use some make over. It should be mentioned that Positano (incl this hotel) is not a cheap place… we would consider booking something on short notice in one of the top places next time as there seem to be significant discounts - rather than booking ahead several months.
• David (10/5): Wow, what a view - Great experience. Awesome room. Fantastic location. Excellent service. Very pleased with our stay.
• Seamus (8/5): Excellent views…a private beach was advertised but anybody could use this stretch of beach - Breakfast good…great location The very steep steps down to hotel
• Anthony (10/5): - Beautiful property
• Joseph (10/5): - Franco was amazingly helpful and the room views were amazing!!
• Andy (10/5): - Cool hotel near a walkable beach, but be prepared for a lot of walking up and down. I thought the hotel was a little too old school for me, but I appreciate the sentiment it gives. It’s just not my cup of tea. Had a porter that helped me with luggage during check in and check out. Very good customer service and would recommend this to people.
• Caitlin (10/5): - Absolutely best hotel view we have ever stayed at! Staff was phenomenal!
• Emma (10/5): - 10/10 stay. Amazing staff and room views with the best little garden for breakfast. The walk to the beach is about ten min down the steps. Delicious pizza restaurant around the corner on the road.
• worldtravellerks (10/5): Beautiful view worth all the steps! - The views from this hotel are amazing. Lot of steps to get there, but there are porters that you can hire to get your baggage to your room. We spent 4 nights in Positano, so there were a lot of steps over the course of our stay. Would probably only stay 3 days if I had it to do over again! The room was just as depicted on the web site. I actually got a bigger balcony room than I was expecting. Breakfast was served at the outdoor area of the hotel. Lovely area. Breakfast was certainly adequate. You can order (for a small fee) other breakfast items like omelets. The reception area had a stocked refrigerator with beer/wine/drinks that you could bring up to your room. 972 Euro for 4 nights. Very affordable.
• Ross (8/5): Great stay in Positano in a secluded yet central location - - Friendly and helpful staff - Amazing views from the garden terrace - Good value for money, walking distance to some great restaurants and beach clubs - Nice breakfast served on the terrace each morning - Room was clean and had good air conditioning - Be aware of the many steps to access the property - Beds were too small - I am 174cm / 5ft 9” and found them short - No shower curtain
• Randy (10/5): - Absolutely amazing hotel in Positano. Very spacious room with a really great terrace and view. The property staff were very friendly and helpful. It does take a lot of stairs to get to and from the hotel but that is basically anywhere in Positano. Free breakfast was nice and convenient. Only downside to this hotel is that the internet connection in the room is terrible, little to no connection, other than that, amazing property.
• Wiktoria (4/5): Terrible customer service, broken bathroom and breakfast not entirely included - The view and the location were nice. The customer service was practically non existent. We were told that we need to sit down at the table for the breakfast and after waiting for almost 40 minutes for someone to come with said breakfast, I had to go to the reception and ask. The guy did not say much and did not wipe the table, there was still food ON the table from the previous guests. As for the breakfast - it was included in our stay but only part of the breakfast was for free. For the other part such as omlette or fresh squished juice you had to pay which in our opinion was a ripp off - if you say the breakfast is included then you should not have to pay to have something warm brought to you. As for the part that was included - in the menu it said that you can request a non dairy yogurt but when I asked for it they did not have it, same goes for gluten free options. The bread was old and stale. The bathroom in the room was not the standard of a 3 star hotel. The shower did not have a working door. The toilet seat was moving when you sat down, it was broken. The check out was at 11 and the guy called our room at 10:50 to remind us to leave the room, as we were already on our way out. It didn't leave a good impression because throughout our stay we already had had the impression that they didn't want us to be there. The guy was just very incompetent and unsure of what he was doing and the girl did not say a word to us from the moment we checked in, which we found very weird. We are not exactly sure what she was doing there because the guy did everything, even if he did it badly, she did not help at all. We know that Positano is expensive and we were not expecting anything else when we booked a stay at this hotel but charging the price that we had to pay for the terrible customer service and the bathroom and other amenities that were missing (you did not even get an amenity set or extra blanket etc.) is unacceptable.
• Jessica (10/5): - Beautiful property with excellent views
• Mark (8/5): Very good -
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - View from picture window was glorious, overlooking mountains and sea. Hotel is in the nicest quietest part of Positano. The hotel was very comfortable, we had a large room with a sofa and a private section of balcony with loungers. Breakfast was served in the garden. The staff were cheerful, friendly and helpful and even voluntarily carried our bags up hundreds of steps. Hotel is gated both from road and beach. Beach is reached by steps. We had a wonderful time, but be aware that you will comfortably reach the medically advised step count!
• emmahD8139QJ (10/5): Stunning Views and Great Service - Had an amazing five night stay at Hotel Dimora Fornillo. The views from the terrace and the garden were absolutely stunning. The easy access to Fornillo beach, the town centre, and many delicious restaurants were a huge benefit. Everyone at the hotel was super friendly and helpful. Could not recommend this place enough if you are looking for a place to stay in Positano.
• Jenna (10/5): Franco and the team tended to our every need and we really enjoyed our stay here. It was amazing - The property is beautiful and the view is absolutely incredible! It’s clean, big rooms, well kept
• Elizabeth (10/5): Luxurious stay in a great place. - The facilities were excellent and the view amazing. The staff all had a pleasant and friendly manner. They took care to find out how we were arriving. For us this was by car. We parked where they suggested and strong young men carried them down the hill on arrival. Then up the hill on departure. When it rained we could stay in our spacious room and watch the view. Great location for us too,
• maya_elizabeth (8/5): Great views and value to stay in the best town on the Amalfi Coast - Overall, we were happy with our stay at this quaint little hotel. After doing a lot of research, I knew I wanted us to stay in Positano which was absolutely the best decision for us. I was persuaded by previous reviews of this hotel, along with the excellent price for the space of our room (we booked deluxe terrace room) and the hotel’s location. The location was excellent - spectacular views, tranquil setting, close proximity to Fornillo beach and pleasant walk to Spiagga Grande and the town centre (it should go without saying that you need to be prepared for walking up and downhill). We enjoyed our daily breakfast in the hotel garden. Service was always professional and prompt. We found the bathroom and especially shower small for us, however, we were expecting that going in. Also, I wish I brought my travel kettle as there wasn’t one available in the room. All in all, a wonderful week here.
• kimdB5456YW (10/5): Can’t recommend enough - My boyfriend and I had an amazing trip. Franco was amazing. He carried our luggage for us with all the stairs. Breakfast was so good and not the usual continental breakfast. They took our order and made it. The other staff were all just as friendly and welcoming. I also feel like we had the best view in Positano
• N945IHkathrinb (10/5): Fabulous! - I stayed here for one night with my mam after taking the ferry from Naples. We absolutely loved it! The views were stunning, and the service exceeded our expectations. Franco was incredibly kind and attentive, he made sure we felt truly welcome and completely comfortable throughout our stay. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, which made it even more enjoyable. Everything was spotless, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer!
• J5271ATdianaw (10/5): Treated like family - The owner and staff at Dimora Fornilla made my sister and I feel like family. The owner is friendly and welcoming, and chatted with us every day as we sat out on the beautiful grass terrace for breakfasts. The hotel is beautiful and small - just 7 rooms. Ours was very roomy and had a large balcony overlooking the beach. The staff recommended great restaurants. From this hotel, you can walk down to the beach or into town within minutes. Highly recommend!
• Kay (9/5): Stunning views, everywhere we looked! - Stunning views from the bedroom, our veranda and at breakfast! Warm and friendly hosts who were responsive by email even before we arrived and had plenty of advice for where to eat and what to do. Great location too! Everything was just perfect
