The pros of staying at La Dolce Vita a Positano boutique hotel include a unique location just above the beach, stunning view, stylish interior, a warm and personal welcome, beautiful room, and a great experience.

Some guests mentioned that there are very steep steps up to the property, and the porter service is considered too expensive. Additionally, some guests found that Positano is all steps.

The hotel is located right above Fornillo beach, offering a short, lovely walk from the main part of Positano. It's best reached by Ferry as the nearest public car parking is a good 10 min walk down (and up) steep stairs. If arriving by car, it's recommended to only take a small bag of necessaries.

The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast, a nice location up 105 steps overlooking Fornillo Beach, and a private lemon terrace for guests that offers a peaceful and private experience hidden away from the beach. The staff is described as very friendly and helpful.

Guests should be aware that there are lots of stairs in the area, but this is common in Positano. It's also recommended to book a porter to assist with luggage, especially when arriving from the ferry port.

Several guests highly recommend booking a room with a balcony facing the beach for a stunning and memorable experience.

Due to the steep steps leading to the property, it is advisable to consider using the porter service for transporting luggage, especially for those with heavy bags.

Guests appreciate the hotel's secluded location, offering a peaceful retreat away from the crowds of Positano, providing a relaxing and serene atmosphere.

The hotel's proximity to Fornillo Beach makes it convenient for guests to enjoy the beach and water activities, offering a more tranquil alternative to the main beach area.

Some guests noted that the rooms are not large, and there is no twin share option, so it's important to consider the room size when booking, especially for those requiring additional space.

While the air conditioning may be noisy, the sound of the waves can be very relaxing. Guests may want to consider this when deciding whether to use the air conditioning at night.

Guests should be aware of extra charges for porter service and late check-in fees, as well as the cost of breakfast if not included in the room rate.

The hotel's traditional Italian villa-style and well-kept gardens add to its charm, providing a unique and authentic experience for guests.

The friendly and knowledgeable staff are commended for their assistance with booking activities, providing local recommendations, and ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

For those arriving by car, it is advisable to bring only a small bag of necessities due to the distance from public car parking. Additionally, taking a ferry is recommended for easy access to the hotel.
