We had the loveliest time at Ville Principe Giovanni! The location was perfect, close to everything but in a quieter residential area. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of and welcome. Cannot recommend enough!

Serenity and adventure in Positano

This hotel was amazing. Staff were especially lovely. Alejandro was the best breakfast morning manager and Emmanuel in the evening for dinners. Great AC and the accommodations were great. WiFi very good. Lots of steps to find this hotel. Map it out before you arrive!!

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay here. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and the views from our balcony were stunning. The hotel staff was also very friendly and helpful. The hotel is on the top of the hill, but it was easy to walk to and from the town via the main road.

Johanne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Avoid room 603. Like us, you may be lured by the economy of this basic room but upon arrival you will quickly be asking for an upgrade . Thankfully they were able to accommodate our request a few hours and a few euros later. The restaurant is fantastic.

8/10 Very good

Staff could have been more helpful and friendly. Did not let us know there were fees for the beach towels, etc. There was a small leak in our bathroom faucet and ants in the bathroom.
Tamari, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The property's views were great, and the Hotel was close to the town center. The main breakfast area and restaurant were very nice. Several issues were not apparent until we arrived at the Hotel. First, the main Hotel has a different name and is separate from this portion of the property. You must climb about 80 steps to get to the main hotel area. The steps leading up to the Hotel are not part of the property; they are dirty allies with steep steps. The included breakfast was so so, with no hot items, and you had to pay extra for eggs. The sink was not flushing when we arrived, but the issue was corrected once we told the front desk. There were several spiders in our room and the bathroom.

Very nice location / view

Very nice location, great view over the sea / bay. Quite a lot of stairs, be prepared for that. Old house, you will hear everything that happens in the hall / other rooms quite well, and no dark curtains (sun gets into your room from early morning) / do not expect to sleep long in the morning.

Wonderful experience to have your own apartment, but still be able to have the service and amenities of a hotel. Location was perfect, close to restaurants, shopping and transportation, but still private and relaxing. Staff was amazing at every level...would highly recommend and can't wait to come again!
Joanna, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Staff is amazing. I think that it is a little over prized. Only cons are that some amenities are too old, as an example: the TV: we have to call the hotel staff 3 times to make the TV work. There was a little mouse in the property, but it looks nobody bothered to get a trap for it. It was very little mouse, but still. Again, the staff is great, which makes our stay better.
