Villa Poppaea

A beautiful property! Everyone was kind and welcoming, very helpful. The rooms were tight but tidy; breakfast was expansive and delicious. The pool is well-maintained and well-staffed. The shuttle bus into the city is incredibly convenient and runs nearly all day/night. My only complaint: the fitness center is very small and requires a reservation limited to one hour, and it does not open until 8:30. A lovely stay all-in-all!

We booked a sea view room, and while we definitely had a sea view (which was dreamy) we were close to the central building which means we couldn’t see positano from our room. However this was made up for by the views from the rooftop and the restaurant where we had breakfast. The breakfast was a little underwhelming, and staff weren’t forthcoming with whether you could order eggs or other options not on the buffet. But in the scheme of things these were minor points. Staff were fantastic, location was great, spending a few hours recovering at the rooftop pool after walking the Path of the Gods was greatly appreciated. 100% recommend this hotel, and Praiano…a much quieter but equally as spectacular location as Positano.

The room was very clean, Breakfast was not great! There was very little choice, this was the 3rd hotel that I had stayed in during my trip and the worst Breakfast..you had to ask the member if staff for more coffee and it felt like you were imposing on them. The hotel itself is lovely but the area is very rough. Every cafe I went into advised me to put my bag in front of me and look out for pick pockets.
