In the heart of Positano, Villa Diamond Luxury Suite has city views from the balcony. This guest house also features a private pool. The guest house offers sea views, a sun terrace, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

We stayed here for a week and it was absolutely wonderful! There are two suites next to one another. Ours was called Suite Positano (the one without the elevated jacuzzi) with total privacy. The view was truly amazing — the tiered homes were so close it felt like we could touch them; the beach and the ocean were in full view too. We didn’t even need to rent beach chairs because our balcony was better with privacy. The view from the shower was stunning! The two staff were sooo accommodating and friendly, every morning they prepared us a breakfast feast! Fabio is who we communicated with on Whatsapp for anything. Anything we needed, they arranged for us. He even arranged a transfer for us from Naples airport to the villa for $170 with a stop at Pompeii (without the Pompeii stop it would’ve been €140). This transfer was literally half the price of what Viator quoted. But it doesn’t include porter service which is honestly necessary as there are a lot of steps involved (€15 per suitcase). Location is close to everything! there’s a very nice mini market just below the steps, the beach and the boat terminal is about a 3-4 min walk, tons of restaurants less than a five minute was including Chez Black and Covo dei Saraceni. We were in for a treat when Napoli won the championship and fireworks were going off all night and the firework spectacle was so close to us and all around our balcony! I did so much research looking for the best property with a view and for the best price point. Out of curiosity, when we arrived in Positano, we went to visit hotels we had considered like Hotel Poseidon and Le Sirenuse. A lot of these luxury hotels are rather far from the centre and they are located on the main road of Positano (there’s only one road in this town) — making it’s dangerous to walk anywhere from the hotels, they aren’t overtly close to the beach or boat terminal, and I question if one can truly survive the fumes from the hoards of tour buses.

Valerio was amazing, he personally served us breakfast each morning with all we could ask for. Sweet & Savory and a frothy delicious coffee. The owner was super hospitable, it is not in the city center but the trade off for the views and hot tub was worth the walk for us. Would recommend.

    Absolutely fantastic location! Short walk from the Ferry port and a much quieter beach than the main area. Room is quite big and the balcony had such incredible views to wake up to! Maryse was lovely and a great host, gave us some really good recommendations around the town. Highly recommend! P.S. Get a porter to help with the luggage. Only a small number of steps but we’ll worth it.

    Absolutely stunning location with views to die for. A lovely quiet location, all you hear are the chickens and donkey. Enzo and Sara were great hosts. The walk down the steps to Positano is stunning and must be done, we managed to walk up once, hard work but again lovely.

    We were welcomed with such kindness. The apartment was in a great location, super quiet and peaceful. Such gorgeous views from the balcony. More than helpful hosts who helped us arrange taxis, find our way around, provided food, drinks, constantly there if we needed help. A beautiful, enjoyable, welcoming stay, thank you so much.

    The hotel was really cosy and unique. The host was extremely accommodating and spent all morning helping us find a cheap taxi after our ferry was cancelled. The location is quiet and peaceful but very close to the main beach so it was perfect.

    Great location, easy check in and check out and very welcoming hosts! Great rooms, comfy beds and quiet area, but still close to restaurants and shops. My friend left her watch at the accommodation and Federico was kind enough to post the watch back to the UK! Thank you so much for such a lovely stay!
