Villa Fortuna

We really loved our stay at Villa Fortuna. The apartment was decorated beautifully, and was immaculately clean!! By that, I meant absolutely spotless, including the lobby area. (Shout out to the wonderful Marta!!) Our teenagers (19 and 17) slept on the pull out sofa, and they were plenty comfy, and there was enough space for all four of us. The villa is in Upper Positano, but as a result, the cost is half of what you would spend to stay closer to the beach. Still, all of Positano is walkable from the villa (if you are in decent shape - or you can use the public bus), and we liked that Upper Positano is removed from the crowds. We walked down to the town center each morning, then back up each evening with no problem. Two nights I was even in heels! It's great exercise! The villa is very quiet - we never heard neighbors or outside noise. There is a bakery literally next door, which is where we had breakfast and coffee/cappuccinos each morning. There are also several wonderful restaurants nearby - with gorgeous views! And the bus stop is right outside the door - so no lugging luggage up steps! And like I mentioned, if walking steps isn't for you, you have the option of taking the bus, which will drop you right outside the door. Diana was great at communicating with us before and during the trip, and she helped us arrange several activities and had wonderful recommendations for a private boat charter, restaurants, a private airport transfer that dropped us at our door, etc. Thank you Diana for a wonderful stay!

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!

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)
