VILLA YIARA

I’ve got to say, the reviews on this are all well said. Villa Yiara exceeded our expectations with their service, to the rooms, and the location. The staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. If we ever needed any information the man at the front desk always had answers or helped us with other bookings. We even got a discount at restaurants if we booked through him! Was so nice. Thank you Villa Yiara for the wonderful stay ????

In soooo muchhh LOVE! We came to Positano in late March (off season) and booked 1 week prior (due to procrastination). On Expedia we booked the superior double room, I was a bit bummed out bc the pics didn’t look that great.. but on arrival I was astounded. It’s the room with both a balcony and a terrace (two views!), and a jacuzzi. It was so beautiful! They decorated the room with a giant vase of lilies that bloomed one by one throughout our stay, and there were also lilies in the bathroom, + a pot of living orchids. The room always smelled so floral from natural scented flowers. And don’t get me started on the giant chandelier in the room.

Service was 5 stars, from the enormous amount of breakfast they deliver, to the WhatsApp chat that’s constantly being monitored. Small details really gets me, including how they organize all of our stuff when they clean our room, there’s an espresso machine in the room, wine/champagne glassware, fridge full on drinks (not complimentary though) table cloth and chair pillows for breakfast on the balcony, scentless candles in the room and on the balcony, ironing board, and the list goes on! We asked for beach towels and they provided a cute tote bag with towels in them. They also helped us book a 60min massage to be done in our room for 90 euros which was amazing, and helped us book reservations for restaurants ????

Breakfast is the same everyday unfortunately but you can request different drinks and how you want your eggs. Pro tip, we couldn’t finish the breakfast one day bc we had a large dinner the night before and made sandwiches with it to have a picnic at the beach.

The location is perfect. It’s a 10 min walk to the beach (yes still quite amount of stairs) and it’s not Le Sireneuse but you get a beautiful view for a great price. Overall I have to say how pleasantly surprised I am by this Villa.

This place was the highlight of our visit to Italy. We stayed in a sea facing room, it was really beautiful. The staff was friendly. If you are visiting Positano, this is a must stay place for couples

CAVEAT EMPTOR (buyer beware!) Villa Yiara cancelled our honeymoon reservation without notice (I checked both the spam and regular inboxes of my email address), and was closed when we showed up for our room. I have email proof of the reservation being finalized months ago, and quadruple checked that I never received a cancellation notice. No one from Villa Yiara would pick up the phone to help when we and others tried calling them. Very nice locals helped us, but we had to undergo a very stressful time with our limited vacation days to make the most of the rest of our trip.

I must still give 4 stars for location, as Positano is undoubtedly beautiful and as the rooms were being painted (they had closed without informing us to paint the rooms before tourist season), I could tell they had great views.

Note: We booked directly through their official website, so it's not like an intermediary lost the reservation. Plus, we got the reservation confirmation email and a follow-up. And this is an event indirectly caused by Villa Yiara, but we almost got robbed when trying to find a last minute place to stay. That would not have happened if they had either communicated about the cancellation or if we got to stay in the room we booked.

Che dire, solo grazie. Peccato che chiudono di inverno. Positano, di questi tempi, acquista un altro fascino e da villa Yiara è tutto a portata di mano. Complimenti per il nome , non comune. Grazie.
