Finding this place is next to impossible... The GPS was lost, we were lost it was a mess... We ended up at a dead end -- there was no more road left -- we finally saw a sign of Villa Degli Dei but you couldn't drive there... We parked the car which looked like a designated parking lot and followed the sign to the Villa. After 110+ steps we got to a gate that was locked... There was nobody there to receive us... Unfortunately when we booked, nobody told us that there will be nobody at reception... Lucky for us one of the guests just got back and let us in -- were able to point to the nearest grocery store where we had to notify the grocery store clerk to notify the cleaning lady who showed up -- but couldn't register us because she had to call somebody who had to drive from Positano Eden Rock (sister hotel) to take care of the paper work...
All in all it took us about 1.5 hours to get registered and settled in... only to find out that there is no phone, no internet and namely NO PARKING -- The parking I initially mentioned costs 1.5EU per hour to leave your car there... OR you have the option to go further up the road and try to find a corner on the road to leave your car -- in hopes that the buses and other traffic can fit and it will not dent your car...
This is not mentioned in any of the description of the Villa -- that if you USE the kitchen YOU ARE responsible for cleaning the kitchen... if you don't you get charged...
Bring your own soap -- cause what they give you will be enough to wash your hands on the first day -- but that's about it...
There is no breakfast included nor there is an option for breakfast at this location...
If you want to get into Positano which is about 5km drive it will take you about 30+ minutes... your other option is the bus -- which runs every hour... So for about 1.10EU you can catch the bus... but then you might end up waiting up to one hour for the bus... You can walk to Positano by going down 1700 steps which starts next to the Villa --- this will take you down to Arienzo -- from there you either catch a bus or walk...
There is a grocery store -- with minimum selection but it will cover your breakfast needs -- the Pizza place has great food and very reasonable price... There is a restaurant as well, but we never eat there so I can't comment on it...
The view was fantastic from our room -- the overall comfort of the room was great and the room itself was clean...
You would hope that a location as this would provide you with some serinity and quite ness... But you can forget all about that... because every morning you will hear the rooster, the cow the mad dogs and then some half whitted old man screaming... Not a very peaceful way to wake up...
If you are not in any physical shape to climb steps if you want to be in town then don't stay here -- This place is good if you want to hide out for a couple of days and do very minimum... OR if you are an outdoors enthusiast and want to hike...
