Hotel Dimora Fornillo

LOTS of steps (150?) to access the hotel, this was not mentioned anywhere in hotels.com page. We stayed during christmas holidays and it seemed like the hotel was just opened for us; Rooms cold (also only one heater for 50m2 apartment), hot water took > 10 minutes to arrive, shower floor was moldy and with lots of small animals (spiders etc). The kitchen was completely empty. The balcony and the view to sea was stunning and in the summer the place is probably great. Access to beach was another 100 steps and from beach you can reach Positano center during good weather. On windy weather the beach was with lots of waves and walk to center was not possible, but you can walk to city via main road. On the main road there are also few restaurants which serve food The steps.. a guy came to pick our luggage to the hotel but when we left he only played with his phone and didn't move a muscle to help us (I didn't ask) Parking WAS AVAILABLE on the main road (20€ per day) even if hotels.com says it is not.

Hotellissa on ystävällinen ja kielitaitoinen henkilökunta. Tilava ja siisti huone upealla näköalalla. Oma terassi ja aamiaista voi nauttia sisällä tai ulkona. Paljon rappusia (koko Positanossa on), joten ei sovi liikuntarajoitteisille. Lyhyt matka rappusia pitkin keskustaan, loivempi reitti tietä pitkin. Suihkussa lämpimän veden tulo kesti pitkään, sitä ennen viileää vettä. Hyvä wifi.

Thr staff and service was great. The hotel location is difficult to get to and from. The rooms are dated and sparsely furnished.

Wowee, did we love this place! The views from the outdoor areas are absolutely breathtaking. The room was bigger than some apartments I've lived in and was comfortable, clean and well appointed. The breakfast every morning was delicious. Everyone who worked here is so nice and it was a pleasure meeting them! I really can't say enough great things about this place. We loved Positano and we loved it because this hotel just suited our needs nicely. I will say, if you don't like stairs or are unable to do stairs this is not the place for you! If you are comfortable with stairs, stay here! You are close enough to the road that you can walk to lots of dining options, gelato, and shops, if you go up from hotel. If you go down from hotel you will find a smaller beach that is not filled with hundreds of people. It was amazing!

Super clean hotel with friendly staff. Great views and a much quieter option than staying in the overcrowded and noisy town area of Positano. If you are older or have issues walking steps, might not be for you (although the whole area is on a cliff so most hotels have a number of steps to climb in order to get to them). Great stay overall!
