Castelvetere in Val Fortore Holidays from AU$4,991

Beautiful property that offered regular shuttles to Sorrento (20+ minutes away). However the food and drinks were very, very expensive and a long trip to and back to get anything else.

The hotel and the apartment are totally in 2 different locations - super INCONVENIENT. And it’s not 5 min walk - my family and I always jokes if Italian say 5 min walk it would be 10 or 15 min for American 😃. The apartment located right at the square is good for shopping and restaurants but to get to the apartment it’s a lot of stairs and you’re going up to 3,4 floors without elevator. Impossible to bring your luggage there without help . When you check in you have to check in at the main hotel - if you arrive in car service or taxi DO NOT let them go yet . Because with your luggage & children it’s impossible to walk to the apartment without a car taking you there . Free breakfast but you have to walk to the main hotel for breakfast and for using any amenities as advertised . The daily housekeeping service is great. The apartment is spaces with a little kitchenette is nice. I understand for Italy it is impossible to avoid stairs but this is a lot to handle . We left early to go to airport and the hotel can’t provide any help for luggage at that time we have to pay $60 € extra for our taxi driver to help us with luggage.

Pool: great. View: incredible. Staff: SO nice. Breakfast was great, but the regular restaurant menu was so disappointing. My husband ordered 2 pizzas and said they were the worst he’s ever had. We had a big dinner and only the eggplant Parmesan was good. All 4 of us were disappointed. Tiramisu was overly soaked and bitter. Then the last attempt at a meal, we were served raw chicken. Everything else was so delightful. We really wish they would re-assess their kitchen/menu situation, because then it would’ve been the best stay EVER.

The staff at Miramare was incredible. Very responsive, friendly and helpful relative to suggestions and bookings for restaurants, activities, excursions, etc. They also went out their way to assist with some unforeseen printing needs we had. The facility is very clean and well maintained. Our balcony room was terrific given the spatial "build on the side of a mountain" constraints of Positano. Gorgeous views!! Conveniently located between the main street above and beach/marina area below - made navigating the many stairways less cumbersome.

Staff are very att.
