Hey from Pietro

Member since July 2010 | 55,787 hits

My name is Pietro and I am the manager of the Dimora del Podestà Bed and Breakfast.

I enjoy reading, which led me to create a Book Sharing area inside the B&B where books, either mine or the result of continuous exchanges, are available to guests.

I am present at the property and available to guests from 8:30 in the morning until 6:00 in the evening.

The most interesting moment at the B&B is breakfast, which takes place on the balcony overlooking the sea. Over a croissant and a cappuccino, we discuss the day's plans and organize excursions and visits together.

I was born and raised in a tourist context, in beautiful Positano. As the son of a restaurateur and the grandson of a hotelier, hospitality has always been a part of our way of life!
Today, together with my brothers, Daniele and Elia, we continue the tradition of hospitality at the family restaurant, Saraceno d'Oro, and with Calanteluna, another beautiful accommodation option in the small and wonderful village of Praiano, 6 km from Positano.

Area city center

The B&B Dimora del Podesta is located in the neighborhood of Fornillo, one of the most lively and characteristic areas of Positano, located at just about 400 meters from the Fornillo beach and about 500 meters from the center of Positano, declared a UNESCO Human Heritage site!

The colors, the fragrances and the secular traditions, are the frame to the tangle of alleys and characteristic small streets of this small but incredible vertical city, considered the pearl of the most beautiful coast in Italy and perhaps in the world.

With its many little stairs, rocky beaches and flamboyant bougainvilleas covering the walls, the handicrafts boutiques and romantic sunsets, be prepared to enter into a world of emotions!!

One of my very favorite places I have ever stayed! This family owned charming bed and breakfast, are the kindest people who truly care about making your stay the best possible. The gourmet breakfast on my own personal balcony with sea view was a definite highlight. The price is very reasonable. The location is perfect. The rooms are spacious with A/C. Staying here you get to experience a cozy home of a friendly Italian family. Stay here! You won’t regret it.

Lovely bed and breakfast in Positano. Easy self check-in. Spacious room with balcony and very clean! Good location with a short walk to the beach and town. Amazing breakfast. Good value for money for the area, as Positano is very expensive for accommodation.

The best bed and breakfast with an ocean view and an incredible pizza restaurant right below where you get a 10% discount! The breakfast on the terrace each morning was exceptional! Piedro was so helpful and gave great tips and suggestions for our trip, we can't thank him enough! I love the 'honesty bar' where they provided drinks (water, wine, alcohol, beer) in the communal fridge at a very reasonable price! All you had to do was write down what you took and your name and pay for it at check-out! You can access the fridge at any time of the day. The check-in was so easy and the hosts were so kind. It takes 15 minutes to walk down to the more private beach in Positano and the same distance to the main beach. It was beautiful waking up to that view, I will never forget this trip. Thank you for the most wonderful and beautiful time in the most beautiful place.

This place is located on the Amalfi Coast called Positano. Pietro is very congenital and helpful and will go out of his way to get what you require. He treats you like family and you can help yourself in the kitchen for utensils. The room is very clean with ceramic wall in the bathroom and the main floor. The 3 only bedrooms are on the 2nd floor with harden plexiglass hallway floor with all sorts of items you can see and lights beneath the plexiglass. You get a fantastic view from the balcony worth a postcard. The room we were in is called the Mimi which is between the other 2 bedrooms. The bus stop is a 5 min. walk and it's location is called Grotto Fornillo. You need to catch the bus called Interno Positano 1. 70 Euros each. If you are in Salerno and want to take a ferry for a fantastic view and it's worth more than the hectic drive through the Amalfi coast.

Il B&B è molto confortevole e tranquillo e ci siamo trovati molto bene. Pulizia, cordialità e disponibilità sono le "specialità della casa". L'ottima colazione colazione, servita sul balcone con vista mare, è un valore aggiunto non trascurabile per cominciare bene la giornata. Suggerisco inoltre di cenare nel ristorante di famiglia dove si possono gustare ottime specialità.
