Cool hotel near a walkable beach, but be prepared for a lot of walking up and down. I thought the hotel was a little too old school for me, but I appreciate the sentiment it gives. It’s just not my cup of tea. Had a porter that helped me with luggage during check in and check out. Very good customer service and would recommend this to people.

Absolutely amazing hotel in Positano. Very spacious room with a really great terrace and view. The property staff were very friendly and helpful. It does take a lot of stairs to get to and from the hotel but that is basically anywhere in Positano. Free breakfast was nice and convenient. Only downside to this hotel is that the internet connection in the room is terrible, little to no connection, other than that, amazing property.

Hotel Demora Fornillo was pure magic. The views, helpful staff, complementary breakfast in the garden and location were perfect. The location is on the north side of Positano, nestled up the hill (about 300 steps UP). We found this location to out of the busy downtown area, however just a close walk by foot! It truly felt like a vacation and only wish we stayed longer.

The hotel was built into the side of the mountain. The staff and owner were very kind and attentive. The only negative and this applies to any hotel in the area is the amount of stairs you need to climb to go anywhere.

The hotel is in a privileged location, excellent view to the Mediterranean sea from our balcony. The staff is very polite and super helpful. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. To get access to the hotel from street you need to take several stairs, but it is a short distance. I will stay there again.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! The views are second to none. The rooms are comfortable and have good AC. There is a complimentary breakfast that's very good and the staff is super friendly and helpful and informative. Could not have asked for better people. There are good restaurants on the main road and transportation. Looking forward to returning.

Excellent view, and kind staff

We stayed on the top floor and the view and the room gave us a lifelong memory. The staff is very kind. The only way to get there is by walking up the stairs from the shore or down the stairs from the road, and it is quite a leg workout.

The hotel is very quaint and the view is magnificent. Our room was fantastic however we had a leak in the bedroom but the staff was very helpful and we were able to move our bed into the sitting area, which was totally fine. Our veranda was magnificent. Definitely hire the helpers to bring your luggage up from the ferry if you take the ferry. It is a bit of a hike to get to the hotel and we found ourselves a little bit lost a couple of times the first time up. There are shortcuts that would have been good to know about in advance. This hotel is not immediately in the center of all the shops, but if you are okay with hills, stairs, and about a 15 minute walk, this is a perfect place to stay.

Absolutely loved my stay here. We were in room 57 and had what I believe was the most immaculate view in all of Positano! It was definitely a hike so I recommend walking for young people who want a hard workout and using the porter service for people who do not like hiking uphill. The breakfast service was perfect start to the day and included a very kind and friendly staff. I hope to return someday!
