Hotel in good location, be prepared to do some walking to get to beach (447 steps). Great views from room. Bar and restaurant at beach. Very friendly staff .

My wife and I stayed 2 nights early July 2011 in one of the “side sea view” rooms. The room was very large, nice and extremely clean – I’m pleased we went for the upgrade. The rest of the hotel is nice enough. WiFi while we were there was free, you just needed to obtain a passcode for the day. The hotel is not much more than an impersonal B&B though with your normal fair breakfast for the area although nothing hot/cooked and not much in the way of any other services.

Not sure what is going on with the lift. While we there, we were told it didn’t work for going down to the beach, thus giving you quite a lot of steps to go up/down to get there. However on our last night after a few bottles of vino I did press the beach button and low and behold it went down to the beach – I didn’t venture out though for fear of being stuck down there and having to make my way up 160 steps which in my current state would have been unwise. It would be nice to see whatever arrangement fixed as this is surely a big selling point for this hotel.

The hotel is well positioned to easily get to some of the more interesting restaurants in Positano rather than the tourist traps that are down at the port.

The hotel offers excellent value for an expensive area and I would happily return to it again. It was very peaceful after being in Capri.

We stayed at Hotel Vittoria for a week and our experience was fantastic. The rooms are quite large, nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. The breakfast is adequate and rather more generous in variety compared to other Italian hotels. The best part of the hotel is the amazing sea view from the balcony and breakfast terrace. Fornillo beach is a 5 minute stroll away albeit down a number of steps but drinking in the lovely views helps to keep the mind off the walk and also helps control the pasta belly! The hotels location at the top of Positano gives easy access to (in my opinion) the best restaurants in Positano. Our overall experience was so enjoyable that we will definitely be back.

Gorgeous rooms, gorgeous food, bit of acwalk down to positano but worth the walk, very friendly staff
