Hey from Pietro

Member since July 2010 | 57,200 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 only 3 bedrooms are on the 2nd floor with a transparent plexiglass hallway with various items you can see and lights under the plexiglass. You have a fantastic view from the balcony worthy of a postcard. The room we were in is called Mimi which is between the other 2 bedrooms. The bus stop is a 5-minute walk and is located in Grotta 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, it's worth more than the hectic drive through the Amalfi coast.

Sublime in everything. Dream room, enchanting view. Managed by the same owners who are very nice people. Family-run restaurant to dine and enjoy excellent specialties, with a lot of courtesy that never hurts. In short, what can I say? I recommend it to everyone and I can't wait to return.

The B&B is very comfortable and quiet, and we had a very good time. Cleanliness, friendliness, and availability are the "specialties of the house". The excellent breakfast, served on the balcony with a sea view, is a significant added value to start the day well. I also suggest having dinner in the family restaurant where you can enjoy excellent specialties.
