Hotel Vittoria

Stayed 1 night in the room with French balcony. Booked on their website directly. Amazing views from the room and the breakfast area. Spacious room with separate living area. Living area has a day bed. Can accommodate a third person. Very clean. Staff is very friendly. It is a hotel with a reception and front desk. Has their own private easy access to Fornillo beach and their restaurants on the beach. Away from the city center, but very peaceful and away from the crowds. Hotel has porter service to help with luggage. Breakfast was plentiful. Had lots of fruits, meats, cheese, hot breakfast options and tons of pastries and Italian cookies. Short walk to other restaurants like Mirage, Saraceno d’Oro, Posides and Il Fornillo.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Vittoria during our honeymoon trip to Positano. Although September is one of the busiest months to visit the area, the hotel is located on a separate beach (about 10 minute walk) away from the main tourist area. It was extremely nice to be away from the chaos and have less people around. The beach club that the hotel is associated with had far less people visiting, and they offered price discounts on the chairs there. The hotel staff were very accommodating and friendly! The hotel had breakfast included and it was really great. The rooms were clean and had a very nice view of the town and the water. We will definitely be back one day! It was a fantastic place to stay and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend it!

We had such a wonderful stay at hotel Vittoria. Altogether for our family holiday we booked out 3 rooms. The rooms were lovely - true authentic Italian decor, balconies and views from all angles of the hotel. Breakfast and coffee was wonderful. Staff really friendly. Porters on hand to help with the luggage and they have their work cut out with all the stairs. Yes there are stairs but there is everywhere in Positano. Out the back of the hotel you can walk directly down the stairs to Pupetto beach, which was one of our favourite in Italy. Highly recommend this hotel - we would return in a heartbeat.

This is listed as a waterfront property, but it’s a grueling hike from the beach. There are over 250 steps, and that’s AFTER a 10-15 min uphill walk. It’s true Positano is a lot of stairs, but many hotels can be reached after a few dozen steps, not hundreds. My friend is healing from a leg injury so we chose this place based on the beachfront photos (that are actually photos of another, unconnected hotel nearby) and waterfront description in the listing, so that we could avoid too much climbing. The only water visible from the hotel is a sliver of ocean view visible from the breakfast area. It is deeply recessed into town-the trip up left me so sweat drenched that I needed a shower. There is no mention of any climb in the listing. We also had an infestation of insects in our room. We called the front desk, and when the concierge came to our room he told us it was fine because these bugs don’t bite, and then left us with the bugs. You could not walk in the hotel room without stepping on them. They weren’t cleaned up until housekeeping came the next day. This hotel also has a curfew. We invited two guests to our room. Shortly after, we received a call telling us our guests needed to leave, not because we were making noise or disturbing other guests (I asked), but because he wanted to close the hotel. Presumably this means hotels guests are locked in/out after a certain hour? The concierge threatened to call the police on our guests on their way out. I’m not sure what about 4 adults quietly enjoying a drink in their room, then leaving calmly when asked, warrants a call to the police?
