A dream come true
Pros:

I think this is the most enjoyable hotel experience I have ever had in my life. Staff was excellent. Breakfast was DELICIOUS. Waking up each morning and having breakfast in the little garden overlooking the ocean was so incredible. Rooms were spacious. AC was incredible. Short walk to Fornillo beach which is where we spent our time. I wish I could live here. What a dream :)

Cons:

Stairs. Get ready for that walk! I am young and fit, and still failed to carry my heavy suitcase up the stairs and ended up needing to get a worker from the hotel to help (they were so helpful!). I recommend just getting the porter from the beginning even if you think you can handle it. The only reason we did not is because there was a storm when our ferry came in so the porters were nowhere to be seen haha!

Bueno!
Pros:

La vista es muy buena! Es muy espacioso!

Cons:

No es el más
Céntrico pero no está mal, te queda muy cerca de playa Fornillo. Bajas y subes muchos escalones para entrar y salir, tenlo en cuenta y más por el equipaje.

Pros:

The view from our balcony was the only good thing I can say about this place.

Cons:

There were ants on the floor but I guess the door to the balcony was only a few feet away and it’s the middle of the summer. The room was very large but it was old. The hosts were accommodating but did not speak very good english. The breakfast was not good.

Un séjour formidable dans un endroit magnifique à l écart du monde et du bruit.
Pros:

Le calme et la beauté de ce lieu. Un hôtel légèrement excentré du centre avec une vue imprenable. L accueil et la gentillesse d Andrea qui est très disponible. Les petits déjeuners servis à table et très bons.

Cons:

Pas de point négatif. Il faut juste savoir que Positano est une ville perchée à flanc de montagne, Il faut donc se faire à l idée qu il y a beaucoup d escaliers.

We had a wonderful time staying at Dimora.
Pros:

Reaching Dimora is a bit of challenge when you first reach Positano I must say, but the location was perfect for us. We traveled as a family. It was very quiet with awesome views of the town and sea and the mountains behind. One can relax in their own balcony watching the change of colour of the sea and the reflected light from sunrise to sunset or come and sit in the garden with unrestricted views. The dining room is always open with access to tea, coffee, etc. A short climb of stairs up takes one to many restaurants on the main road. The port and main town is 10-15 minutes walk away. Staff is very helpful and courteous. They always had a smile on their face. If we come back to Positano, we will stay here AGAIN!!

Cons:

Too many stairs to reach the hotel when one is coming up from the port.
