Pros:

Beautiful views and lovely spacious rooms. Well located - popular restaurants and shops only a few minutes walk from the property. Staff were really friendly and helpful, they organised for a porter to bring our luggage up to the property for us.

Cons:

Only thing that we didn’t find great was the breakfast.

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.

Perfect!
Pros:

Prachtige grote kamer met ook nog een eigen terras, aan de tuin die uitkijkt over zee en over het stadje. Locatie is perfect voor het bekijken van het stadje.
Fantastisch ontbijt in de tuin!

Cons:

Bij de beschrijving staat niet dat ze een voorkeursparkeerplaats hebben. Het is een chaos wat betreft parkeerplaatsen in Positano dus dat zou iets beter aangegeven kunnen worden.

Privelistea si gazdele sunt minunate
Pros:

Gradina si terasa camerei cu priveliste spre mare, dar si spre coasta minunata. Micul dejun a fost perfect in cea mai placuta atmosfera.

Cons:

E dificil de gasit drumul corect spre locatie de la statia de autobuz. Sunt multe variante de scari si este usor sa te ratacesti ceea ce e dificil daca ai si bagaje.

Situation et vie exceptionnelle. Grande surface et grand confort.
Pros:

La situation, la vue exceptionnelle, le jardin ou prendre le petit déjeuner.
La taille du logement, la terrasse.
Le petit déjeuner est très bien.

Cons:

Nous sommes restés 2 nuits et la chambre n’a pas été faite durant notre séjour. Il n’y avait pas de bouteille d’eau à disposition dans la chambre.
Le prix de la chambre reste cependant un peu élevé.
