Oh did I research our stay in Positano. Crazy crazy hotel prices, little availability, I wrote to several hotels to obtain quotes and try and figure out room sizes, views, location in the hill and services. I finally settled on Villa Rosa and was glad when they had availabilities (several months out).
I booked a superior room as I wanted a terrace with both a village and sea view. Well, I got what I wanted. Our terrace was huge, with a parasol, large day bed, a coffee table and chairs, as well as a breakfast table and chairs. It was adored by beautiful flowers, and we did have that view that I was so keen on. I spent hours watching the yachts come in; or spying on the Franco Bar below's trendy clients... One afternoon, I even elected to stay there instead of going down to the beach.
Location is key in Positano, and the Villa Rosa was high enough for views, but low enough for our legs after busy days visiting.
Our room itself was large, with 2 twins beds set up as we had requested. The Air Con worked well, and we had some desk and cupboard to place our clothes in. There was no space for our make up in the bathroom, so we had to improvise, but everything in there was functional. The beds were very confortable and I loved the room decor. On very hot days, when we came after walking around, I could sit on a comfy chair inside OR a desk and still have that beautiful view. I like that there was a safe and minifridge. I am no aware if they had room service for snacks and drinks.
Note that there is no elevator though, so be ready for steps. They are large and easy to manoeuver though.
Breakfast was good with viennoiseries, cappucino, tea, fruits, bread, jam, charcuteries and cheese. You could get more for purchase, but we were fine with the offer. I loved that it was served outside, with white linens, and that we could pick the time of service. It was always on-time for us.
Service was excellent, and always with a smile.

This is a beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. Each room in this hotel has either a terrace or a balcony. We were in room no.25 and we had the luxury of a large terrace which boasted stunning postcard views of Positano.
A lovely big breakfast was served daily to our terrace by Luca or Antonio and set up with a table cloth. The food itself was great, more than we could eat!
The staff were fabulous, especially Anna and Ersilia at the front desk in the day who assisted us make a restaurant reservation at Café Positano and to arrange an airport transfer for our departure from Naples Airport. Carmine worked the desk at night and on the morning that we planned to walk the Path of the Gods, he was kind enough to arrange our breakfast 'to go' and helped us with where the bus left from and timings.
Not only were the staff amazing during our stay, but prior to our arrival too. I really think booking directly goes a long way to building better relationships and in our case it really did. Owing to extenuating circumstances, we had to delay our holiday by a year, but the hotel and staff were accommodating and caring/ It was well worth the wait!! Shout out to Antonella and Carmela responding to emails.
The location of the hotel is ideal for all aspects of Positano. It's a short (but uphill) walk from the beach past shops. We arrived to Positano from ferry from Capri. We only had hand/cabin luggage which was manageable, anything more and I would recommend you either have the hotel arrange porter or accept the porter assistance upon arrival.
In terms of beaches, Fornillo is a better location than the more popular Spiaggia Grande which we found was generally full of Instagrammer. Fornillo is a short walk around the port under the well photographed archway. There you can hire a sunbed (between 25-30 euros) and hire kayaks from the Ristorante La Marinella (only 5 euros per hour).

Our 9-day stay at the Villa Rosa in September 2024 was nothing short of magical. The hotel’s location couldn’t be more perfect—perched high on the mountainside, it offers sweeping, breathtaking views of Positano that truly need to be seen to be believed. The central location combines convenience and beauty, with just a short, scenic walk down to the beach and easy access to the town’s many fantastic restaurants. Villa Rosa offers the best of both worlds—close enough to explore Positano effortlessly, yet still a peaceful retreat.
The hotel itself is utterly charming, with an inviting Coastal Italian aesthetic that makes it feel warm and authentic. Our room was spotless and spacious, but the real highlight was our stunningly large terrace. Each morning and evening, we found ourselves mesmerized by the unparalleled view—Positano’s pastel-colored buildings cascading down the cliffside, the shimmering blue waters of the Amalfi coast, and the rugged beauty of the landscape. Watching the sun rise and set from the comfort of our terrace became the defining experience of our trip—an image we’ll carry with us for years to come.
From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly welcome. Special mention must go to the wonderful front desk team—Ersilia, Ana, Sara, and Antonella—who greeted us every day with warm smiles and genuine enthusiasm. They went above and beyond to help with restaurant recommendations, bookings, and arranging excursions. Their local knowledge and kindness made navigating Positano so much easier, and it was clear they genuinely cared about making our stay unforgettable.
The breakfast, delivered straight to our terrace, was another highlight. Each morning we looked forward to freshly brewed cappuccinos, delicious croissants and pastries, and a variety of bread, cheese, deli meats, fresh fruit, and juices. It was the perfect start to the day, enhanced by the jaw-dropping views of the coastline.
Our stay at Villa Rosa was nothing short of perfect. The hotel not only offers stunning views and comfort but also exemplifies the warmth and hospitality that make Positano so special. For anyone looking for a picturesque, relaxing, and centrally located place to stay, I can’t recommend Villa Rosa enough. It perfectly captures the essence of Positano’s charm and beauty.

An absolutely perfect place to stay in Positano. The location of Villa Rosa is ideal & then you have also have a beautiful terrace & amazing views too. All of the staff we encountered were so genuinely friendly & helpful. The in room breakfast was an absolute treat & the gentleman who brings it takes so much care in setting up your table beautifully too. Thankyou to everyone who was working there for the 3 days we stayed (2nd - 5th June)

Our stay at Villa Rosa in Positano was the highlight of our Italy trip this past summer. After a long day of travel, we arrived at the hotel and, although our room wasn’t ready yet, the staff provided us with a place to store our luggage and offered water to help us cool off. We set out to explore and grab a bite to eat, and by the time we returned, our room was ready.
Opening the balcony doors and taking in the breathtaking view nearly brought tears to my eyes—it was stunning, and I felt so fortunate to have such a beautiful room. The hotel’s prime location made it perfect for exploring Positano. Each morning, breakfast was delivered to our room, allowing us to enjoy a delicious meal while taking in the incredible view. Since returning home, I often find myself reminiscing about these moments.
The staff at Villa Rosa were nothing short of wonderful, adding to the overall experience. This trip was particularly memorable as I got engaged to my now fiancé during our stay. I will always be grateful for our visit and cannot wait to return, hopefully in the near future.
Thank you to everyone at Villa Rosa for making our stay unforgettable!

Our second stay at Villa Rosa. The views of Positano for the price and quality of the hotel is fantastic value being steps from the main area of town
The balcony offers sun lounges and beautiful breakfast with a view of the ocean. The breakfast is large and generous, which good coffee and friendly service.
We had to move rooms on this stay due to noise. The guest above us decided to rearrange the iron furniture which is extremely heavy for hours into the night. We also had an ant problem due to the rain which was swiftly managed by the team. Only other feedback would be as a noise sensitive guest is to ask for a corner room, the walls are incredibly thin so you can hear when people have showers, use the bathroom etc.
Thank you Villa Rosa for a pleasant stay.

Beautiful hotel with break taking views in a perfect location. We loved our stay at Villa Rosa. The hotel is very pretty and clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. Our stay included breakfast served on our terrace with delicious fresh Italian pastries and fruit, coffee, yogurt. I love the location as it is on the center of everything and only a short walk down to the beach. I highly recommend the terrific hotel.

We stayed here for one night during our 10 day vacation to Italy and we wished we could have stayed longer. The staff was super nice and accommodating storing our luggage and then carrying them to our room. (no elevator of course)
Breakfast is served each morning on the balcony and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Our driver was taking us to Naples early in the morning so the hotel staff accommodated us by bringing our food early so we could eat before we leave.
The view and balcony is worth every penny. Do it. Splurge a little and get an ocean view room and enjoy yourself.

Let's start with the nicest people Managing and working at this Hotel. We were treated like royalty every minute of our stay. The most accommodating Hotel I've stayed in, in a long time. The view is right out of every postcard you've ever seen of Positano. Comfortable rooms, with a great balcony porch sitting area, where we had breakfast every morning. Breakfast was included. Sometime during the day, all you had to do, was go by the lobby on your way to your activity and fill out the card with what you wanted for breakfast and what time you wanted it delivered. Exactly at the time requested, a knock at the door with exactly what you wanted to eat plus the most incredible pastry included and frothed milk for your coffee. Hotel staff brought it out to your private balcony, with a white linen table cloth. This was truly a Five Star experience. Additionally, this Hotel is centrally located in Positano which made it perfect for all of our activities. Great restaurants and shops within walking distance. This will be my choice to stay every time I visit Positano.
