Hotel Villa Degli Dei (Positano, Italy)

The views from these apartments are absolutely astounding, with many guests reporting glimpses of Capri on clear days. These fabulous vistas of the Amalfi Coast set the tone for an all-around impressive experience.

The picturesque Amalfi Coast is a very popular tourist spot, but guests of this villa found that the location of this property guaranteed peace and quiet. Perched high in the hills above Positano - well away from the region's 25-mile long main drag - guests were relieved to find the ambience here imbued with a deep and memorable sense of tranquillity.

This property's one-man reception team - mentioned by name in the reviews of many guests - is incredibly helpful, warm and friendly. He has no qualms about giving suggestions for itineraries or restaurants or even offering a helping hand with luggage. Like the views, his warm welcome made a great impression of this property.

Nocelle, the village in which this property is situated, is noted for being difficult to access via car. Unsurprisingly, those who drove into the region found the parking situation to be challenging, with many struggling to locate a space.

Located high in mountainous terrain, this property boasted multiple sets of steep stairs. Indeed, this was the case throughout the area, with guests reporting that access down to the beach and into the nearby town was only possible via stone steps. Those with mobility issues struggled in this respect.

Many found that the local bus service - which connected this property to surrounding areas - was, at best, intermittent. There were consistent reports here of guests being stranded due to unreliable service.
