The customer service was outstanding – the owners couldn’t do enough to help and really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Everything was spotless, and the facilities were excellent, with everything we needed.

The views from the property are absolutely stunning. It’s worth noting, however, that there are quite a few steps to reach the accommodation. This is very common in Positano and part of the charm of the town, but something to keep in mind (you will get this with any accomodation in Positano)! Overall, the scenery more than make up for it!

Absolutely the best place in Positano! From the very first moment we arrived, it felt like home — cozy, authentic, and full of warmth. Marco and Paisia create a truly special atmosphere, and their two adorable huskies make it even more unforgettable. Yes, the hotel is on the hillside, but the steps are easy and the views along the way are magical. Breakfasts are generous and delicious, rooms are spacious and comfortable. We stayed in three hotels during our trip, and this one was simply the best. I can’t wait to come back!

"At first, I thought it was crazy, but I fell in love with the place after seeing the pictures on Booking. I said to myself, 'I want to go there.' So, that's what I did. I chose Colle dell'Ara as my romantic spot to celebrate my 30th wedding anniversary. I reached out to Marco for advice on exploring the Amalfi Coast, and his suggestions were spot on. Marco and Paisa are fantastic hosts. Marco went above and beyond to help us, especially with our arrival. He picked us up at Chiesa Nuova and drove us home. What really amazed me was when Marco carried my backpack and two 13-kilo carry-on bags all by himself - I couldn't believe his strength! We enjoyed three delicious breakfasts and even better conversations. He told me I resembled Pope Francis! Marco welcomed my wife and me in an unforgettable way. He mentioned having an Argentine friend, and I jokingly said he now has two. Thanks, Marco, for an incredible experience!"

Having to check-out!

It might be a bit of a climb to this property but it is totally worth it. After arriving on the ferry to Positano and making our way through the crowds, we made our way up to Marco & Paisia’s place and couldn’t believe our eyes when we arrived. Sitting almost as high as you can get, the property looks down on Positano town - the most beautiful place we have ever stayed and with the best view. As you can imagine, Positano is very crowded, so it’s so nice to be here away from the crowds and enjoy Positano from a distance. The room was so stylish and clean, it really feels like you are in a 5* hotel. Marco & Paisia are best hosts - they gave us great recommendations and make the most incredible breakfast - really such lovely people. There are so many special touches which didn’t go unnoticed and we are so grateful that they made our time there so special. We wish we would have been there for longer!

Staying at Colle Dell’Ara was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. The breathtaking view from the property is absolutely unforgettable — waking up to that panorama every morning was a dream. Marco and Paisia, the wonderful hosts, made us feel truly welcome from the very first moment. Their hospitality and kindness went beyond expectations. Breakfast was fresh, delicious, and served with care — the perfect way to start each day. We also loved the company of their two sweet dogs, who added a special warmth to the atmosphere. What really stood out was how genuinely dedicated Marco and Paisia were to helping us explore Positano and the surrounding areas. Their recommendations, tips, and constant support made our stay not only easier but also more meaningful and authentic. We would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a beautiful and heartfelt experience in Positano.

It was the best stay we had during our time on the Amalfi Coast. As soon as we booked our accommodation, we got in touch with Marco and Paisia, who were always happy to answer and clarify all our questions. They gave us very useful and important tips on how to get to Positano, what to see and do, how to navigate the coast, and much more. It really made the stay more enjoyable. They are incredible and really love what they do. The breakfast was one of the best we've had, made by Paisia. From incredible omelettes, to sourdough bread, crepes Suzette, and much more ... Just amazing! 🤌 The stay has an incredible view over Positano, and for us who love dogs, it was a very pleasant experience with their 2 huskies. We highly recommend this stay, and would definitely choose it again.

When we first read the description about Colle Dell'Ara it felt like a magical place. And even with the warnings concerning the 400 steps we knew we had to go. It was such a good experience. Marco and Paisia are great host and very kind persons. I wish them the best. The 2 dogs Arya and Horus are adorable. The view are amazing and it is worth every step. Paisia is also a very good cook. But if youre not in a good physical condition the steps are not for you. We would go back again for sure.

Firstly, the 400 steps to the hotel are no joke. They help you with the luggage, thankfully. However once you're up to the hotel, its stunning. I wish we had a more relaxed stay so we didn't have to rush up and down the steps. Truly beautiful views and lovely room. I do recommend it. Absolutely amazing location. Great breakfast. Staff. Very cost effective for the area, and you can get a bus and see positano.

They need to invest in bannisters for the stairs to make them easier to walk up and down.

This is truly a stunningly beautiful property with the most breathtaking views and the friendliest hosts! Breakfast is provide and is absolutely delicious, I found myself looking forward to it every morning! As if it couldn’t get any better, they have two adorable huskies! If you’re able to climb a decent number of stairs to reach this location, you have to stay at this peaceful B&B! We found it to be a really lovely escape from the crowded bustle of Positano city center!

I think it would be hard to find a better view and a more comfortable, peaceful place anywhere on the coast than this home. The couple that runs it are some of the nicest people we met on our trip across Italy, or really anywhere for that matter. They made us amazing food and treated us to a truly comforting experience when we stayed. Also, Marco went out of his way to text us during our trip recommendations and advice while we explored Positano throughout the day and made sure we had no trouble arriving back to the house at the end of our day. Yes, there are a lot of stairs to reach the house, but the best things in life are worth the extra effort and if you just do it, you will not regret it. Cannot wait to return! Also, they have two amazing Huskies that live at the house and kept us company during our stay!
