Villa Pietra Residence

The people were great but the place is very old. We shared our room with insects …the breakfast on the balcony was impossible because it was infested with ants and the shower over flooded - for this price you can do do much better.

I found Villa Yiara on ChatGPT (by chance) by searching for places to stay in Positano. The pictures on their website looked lovely so we booked it. What a delightful experience! The staff were in contact from the time we made the reservation to keep us updated on the status of our reservation, including best directions (so you are not climbing hundreds of steps). Upon check in, we walked into our room which had a beautiful view from our balcony. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated, everything was in its place, including fresh flowers. Each morning we were delivered a delightful breakfast to our balcony, enough food to feed an entire family (we were 2 people). The staff were so attentive, making reservations for us for dinner at an exclusive restaurant, making reservations at one of the beach clubs, so we had a good spot on the beach once we got down there and providing a tote bag with beach towels. Upon check in, they gave us their number on WhatsApp to use for any questions and were always quick to respond to any inquiry (like what stop to get off the bus). The walk to the beach took about 15-20 minutes but we got to browse all the cute shops and restaurants along the way. Villa Yiara really exceeded all our expectations! Highly recommend this place.

We had a beautiful room and lovely service from the staff. I enjoyed fresh flowers in our shower and bathroom daily. Also, loved the daily breakfast service. They gave you a choice of how you wanted your eggs prepared in the morning and time preference. Be prepared in any place you stay at Positano, as there will be lots of stairs.

We have traveled to many places in this world but I must say Villa Yiara was the absolute best. The minute you arrive you realize how special it is. Sparkling clean, great location and a staff second to none. The most pleasant surprise is their spectacular breakfast served in your room each morning by beautiful Maria. We obviously can’t say enough.

Wow, wow, wow. One of the highlights of our trip. The palatial room, complete with a chandelier the beautiful view, the balcony and the service from the wonderful host and delightful Maria. The shower with a gorgeous pocket window to the water, complete with 6 water jets plus a rainwater shower head was a true experience. The location while up on the hills above the beach was walking distance down ans also the bus stopped not far from the villa if your legs had nothing left. And the breakfast - absolutely delicious. We felt spoilt at Villa Yiara.

Buongiorno! We had a molto molto bene experianza in Villa Yiara- Our room and patio e magnifica, with beautiful bouganvillia fiori, comfortable lounge chair, and even an outdoor soaking tub!!! Walk to great restaurants, walk the Path of the Gods, and then take the local buses to see Positano -also take ferry from salerno ( Travelmar) beautiful way to see the coast! Gorgeous colazione served on your patio every morning -Imara and her friend Francisco were SO nice and helpful to get my medicine to me after i forgot it after we checked out-GRAZIE MIEILE, IMARA -tue e molta sympatica! Raul also SO nice and very helpful-beautiful hotel, would definitely stay again if we return to Amalfi -Arrivederci Tina e Rick

Just wow! From the moment we booked, the communication was excellent. Although we arrived late and were given an entrance code, it wasn’t needed—Raul was there to greet us straight from our taxi, took our luggage, checked us in, and gave us invaluable advice for our stay. And the room… OMG. The view, the shower, the bed—everything was truly 5-star! Each morning, Maria served us the most delicious breakfast on our balcony, always with such a warm and kind smile. To top it all off, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Imara. What makes this place even more special is knowing it was once her family home, now beautifully transformed into an incredible “home away from home.” Positano was originally a bucket-list, one-time destination for us—but now it’s somewhere we absolutely plan to return to, and Villa Yiara is a huge reason why. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts—we will be back!
