Our stay at Dimora Fornillo was amazing. Franco, Alessandro and Vincenzo were super nice and attentive to details. We sure felt special and would love to come back next year.
This is a small 7-room property that needs renovation, especially the bathrooms. Our shower drain was clogged the entire stay despite repeated complaints; the owner ignored the issue, though the younger staff tried to help. Rooms and furniture are very dated, with the only plus being the view.
Also, the “7-minute walk” claim is misleading—it’s more like a 15–20 minute hike up 300 steps.
Loved it!! It is up 1,000,000 stairs but so worth it! Staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful, we met the owner too and he was great. Beautiful views from the property and very central. Send you good instructions before you check in and help with getting your bags there.
Franco was amazingly helpful and the room views were amazing!!

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 best hotel view we have ever stayed at! Staff was phenomenal!
10/10 stay. Amazing staff and room views with the best little garden for breakfast. The walk to the beach is about ten min down the steps. Delicious pizza restaurant around the corner on the road.
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.

Fairy all hotel it’s not hotel. It’s just like a house.
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.
