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.

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!

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!

Marco & Paisia are such lovely persons. We really felt comfortable at their house even though you have to take a few stairs up, we did not mind. :) Their breakfast is so delicious, they try to use everything from their own garden. The views are breathtaking and we really enjoyed the quietness up their as in the towns such as capri, positano and amalfi it gets really quiet. That‘s why we even more appreciated the calmness up there.

Everything was perfect for us.

Host Staff View Breakfast Tips: Would recommend it to young folks with carry-on baggage only. Not for entomophobia people.

Stairs The AC wasn't working properly

Our hosts were warm and welcoming and always went out of their way to make us comfortable. We can't thank them enough for sharing their beautiful home with us. Our breakfast was outstanding every day and were met with wine in the evenings upon our return to the Villa. Their View is nothing short of spectacular. If you want an authentic experience, this is it! Not to mention, their dogs are just the sweetest!!!

We really didn't mind the stairs and we knew upfront that there were allot to climb to get from the road to the Villa. Once again, the views, the property and the hosts were well worth the climb!

Our stay at Colle dell’Ara absolutely exceeded expectations. The hosts Paisia and Marco are lovely and very accomodating. Everything about the room was perfect. The view is spectacular, easily one of the best views in Positano. They have a lift for your bags so you do not have to carry them up the 398 steps. Trust me though, the stairs are worth it for the view! The breakfast included was delicious, fresh omelette every morning with Crossaints, donuts and many other things!! The place is situated very close to a bus stop and that bus takes you into the centre of Positano. Their two dogs Arya and Horus both very cute too, two huskies is a bonus to your stay :). Thank you Colle dell’Ara we would absolutely stay here again.

Nothing!

It located up high in a very tranquil gorgeous area above the beaches. The vineyards and gorgeous greenery that surround this villa are so relaxing and romantic. The inside is impeccable and Paisia and Marco are the most kind hospitable hosts ever! Horos and aria are their gorgeous huskies that warmed my heart from the second I arrived making me feel like I was home. The attention I got was like no other- they make every effort to welcome you and treat you like a family!

Marco and Paisia are phenomenal hosts. The property is very cosy and the view is stunning. The room was large, had a balcony and the bed was good. Breakfast was delicious. It's a quiet place on top of a hill, away from the crowds. There are good restaurants relatively close. The property is clean and well taken care of. We enjoyed talking to Marco and Paisia about life in Positano. They really made us feel at home. Good place for an auhentic local experience. We'd love to come back again!

We loved our stay, but mind you that this is not for everyone. There's no way to avoid the 400 steps - that's 5 to 10 minutes of stair climbing. So, if you do choose this place, make sure to pack light! It's also a bit removed from the city center and the beaches - you can get there by foot, bus or car, but it takes some time. If you must have everything at your doorstep, this might not be the place for you.
