This is the best destination for Positano! It has been my second time here, but this place exceeded my expectations. The location is absolutely incredible, right in the center, very close to the beach and all the main attractions. The staff was absolutely gorgeous! We needed iPhone chargers, irons, iron board and more and everything was brought to us in an instant. This is perfection! I traveled a lot and believe me, I have rarely met this beautiful service! I totally love them and I will for sure come back here as soon as possible :)

    The owner is absolutely amazing! Such a warm, kind and helpful lady. It’s a beautiful story as she’s converted her childhood home into a fabulous hotel. Beautifully served breakfast in your room with a knockout view. The interior design is outstanding! You must visit Villa Yiara!

    Lovely villa high up on the hills behind Positano with stunning views of the Amalfi coast. Gorgeous terrace and gardens with a delightful little plunge pool. If you want a relaxing break where all you want to do is chill at the villa and soak up the views and sun, as long as you bring enough food for your stay, this is the place for you.

    Property was lovely and fantastic sized room and common areas, with a gorgeous view from the pool. However the bedroom smelled of mould and dust, which was very disappointing for the price of a luxury resort. Staff did not provide any assistance when this issue was raised.

    We absolutely loved this villa! The place is very nice, the interior design is tastefully done with a kind of vintage vibe. Everything was very clean. The view from our private terrace and common terrace was terrific! The breakfast was delicious. Tess was very welcoming and made us fresh scrambled eggs and toast. There were fruit, fresh pastries, coffee, juice, everything you need. And to have a breakfast with a view of the sea and the church was just dreamy!

    Gorgeous boutique hotel!!! Right near all the main restaurants. Beautiful views from the balcony. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast is brought to your room it’s delicious and so cute! Recommend getting “blu porter” luggage service to take your bags from the port to the hotel because you do have to climb the stairs to get here but it’s worth it!! Also the air conditioning is literally better than my in my own house in Australia.

    A lovely boutique hotel with large rooms, and a beautiful terrace with a stunning ocean view. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Great value for being in Positano, especially so close to the ocean. It is right on top of the less crowded Fornillo beach, one of our favourites, away from the harbour. You are a 10-15 minute (relatively flat) walk to the heart of Positano, or 10-15 minute walk up stairs to the main road with restaurants and shops. Really enjoyed our stay, and would recommend.
