My experience at La Dolce Vita Residence was mixed. While the stunning views of the Mediterranean were lovely and the location near Fornillo Beach was convenient, the service left much to be desired. I encountered several issues with the host, Maryse, which overshadowed some of the positives of my stay.

The room I received was clean and spacious, but the overall hospitality was lacking due to the rude behavior of the host. The beautiful decor didn’t make up for the negative experience I had.

Although Maryse greeted guests with a bottle of prosecco, my experience with her was unfortunately quite negative. I felt that instead of being welcomed, I was treated poorly and faced issues regarding my reservation.

The location is one of the highlights, being a 15-minute walk to town along the coast and close to Fornillo Beach, which I enjoyed. However, the numerous steps can be quite exhausting, so I recommend using the porters for luggage.

The lack of a reception or maid service was disappointing. It felt like there wasn’t enough support for guests during our stay, especially considering the steep steps involved navigating to and from the hotel.

My stay at La Dolce Vita Residence was truly good! I was welcomed with a bottle of prosecco and enjoyed amazing views throughout my visit. The location near Fornillo Beach was convenient, although it required navigating quite a few steps, typical of Positano. The room was spacious and immaculate, but I did experience a minor hiccup with the walk to the main town center, which might not be for everyone. Overall, the personalized service from Maryse and Chiara made my trip nice, and I can't wait to return!
