Villa Mary

A family-run hotel in a 19th-century villa high above Positano, with private terraces, a pool and owners who plan your stay with you.

Why people love it

• Tiziana and Antonio. The owners are named in most reviews for restaurant bookings, tour advice and help during travel problems. When the road into Positano closed, Tiziana stayed late to arrange a train through Sorrento for arriving guests.
• Private terraces. Rooms have their own terraces with views over Positano, and breakfast is served there each morning.
• The pool. Guests praise the pool and the quiet compared with the town below.
• Honeymoons. Many recent guests were on honeymoons or anniversaries, and several were surprised with drinks and treats.

The worst thing guests say

In October 2025 a family said staff asked their child to keep the noise down at the pool, and that it isn't suited to young children. Two 2025 guests mentioned the many stairs down to the beach. No other recent complaints appear.

Insider tips

• Plan for a long walk up from the beach.
• Staff arrange luggage carrying from your car.
• Hosts are reachable on WhatsApp before you arrive.
