Villa Fortuna

This was a lovely hotel with a stunning partial ocean view. It’s right in front of the bus stop, which was very convenient because it’s pretty far to the city center. In addition to the bus stop convenience, there was an awesome local bar, grocery store & convenient store 10 feet from the front door. I will say, we booked this for my adult family of five and it was a little tight, so I would recommend booking an additional room if you have a big family or group you’re traveling with. I left a 5-star review because the place was beautiful and clean, but would have loved a little more help throughout our stay as far as new towels, more toilet paper, and getting the hot tub running (which is very minute in the scheme of things). They were very quick at responding to messages and the ladies running Villa Fortuna are lovely.

Great apartment in Upper Positano. Really lovely interiors, very quiet and peaceful in a busy town! Steep walk down into town but doable and lovely views!

We loved Villa Fortuna! Gorgeous view and perfect space for two. We were on our honeymoon and it was romantic, clean and lux. The service was amazing and Dianna and her mother was readily available with everything we needed. We were treated to welcome champagne and a nice note!

The room was clean, huge, and just beautiful. Diane and her mother were so kind and extremely helpful. Those house, walking distance to shops, cafés, and the beach. The best part is that the city bus is three steps from the front door. I would highly recommend Villa Fortuna for anyone looking to travel and stay in Positano

Our stay in Villa Fortuna was simply incredible and made our stay in Positano unforgettable. Diana and her mother are exceptional hosts and made our experience even better with their kindness, help and by sharing their knowledge of local area to help us get around. The room was extremely clean and the view from the terrace is beautiful! Every last detail has been put into the rooms at the villa and you have everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The bus stop outside of the villa is super as you can easily travel around Positano by local bus to take you to the beach if you do not wish to take the steps (we didn’t mind the walk so only used the bus in the evening). Prior to our visit, Diana shared a digital guide of Positano with us which included things to do and places to eat. We followed the recommendations, which were fantastic! I would highly recommend staying at Villa Fortuna if you want a 10/10 experience. Thank you so much for having us ☺️.

As I'm sure you'll read time and time again, Diana and her mother were so kind. Diana is incredibly quick to respond to emails, and she coordinated our private transfers and a private boat tour of Capri. She was also helpful with so many recommendations (e.g. restaurants, transportation, activities). The facilities are incredibly clean and spacious. We booked the Orange Flowers room, and the only reason why I would book another room in the future is that there is not much of a view from the balcony -- it is mostly blocked by the balcony wall. However, it's still a lovely place to relax and enjoy the orange tree, and we would certainly go back to Villa Fortuna! We counted 457 stairs to the shops, as the hotel is at the top of Positano. The steps were actually welcome though, as it felt nice to walk off our dinners! The location was also great because the bus stop is right outside, so it's easy access to other places like Amalfi and Ravello. We were able to walk to all of these places: Da Vicenzo (delicious classic dinner) L'Ancora (most iconic Positano view for sunset dinner) La Serra (INCREDIBLE Michelin restaurant experience) Brasserie Covo dei Saraceni (got pizza to-go from the street-level restaurant [not hotel restaurant] and ate along waterfront) Ferry to Capri (recommend private boat tour) Boat to Arienzo Beach Club (recommend booking chairs) Bus stop to see Amalfi Coast (recommend Amalfi Lemon Experience with picnic) Other (e.g. shops, bars, galleries)
