Hotel Villa Gabrisa

Our experience at Villa Gabrisa could not have been more amazing. The rooms were clean and spacious, the views were incredible, and the staff were extremely kind and courteous. It's a great location as it's a bit removed from the touristy and busy main streets, and because it's higher up on the landscape, the place comes with spectacular views. Dinner was great and complimentary breakfast was delicious, we loved connecting with our waiter. 100 percent would stay here again when we come back!!

We chose to visit Positano during winter - not really a good choice because a lot of places were closed . But, despite of this set back - the staff of Villa Gabrissa were very helpful in planning our days giving us places to see and visit and making arrangements for our restaurant reservations and booking transfers for us. ||The rooms were clean and spacious, beds were firm and pillows soft. Bathrooms had strong water pressure and hot water was readily available. We got a room with a view of the sea and it had a jacuzzi - great way to enjoy the Positano view. The hotel has special arrangements with a parking garage which is near it - makes it easy to just grab the car and drive off.||If you ever find yourself in Positano - check out this hotel. It’s a great place to chill in

This is a magnificent hotel! The hotel is beautiful, very clean and what a location! Up high looking out to the sea is unbelievable. But the best part are the people! Walking in the lobby, you are immediately greeted by a group of very friendly, service oriented personnel. They are all smiles and very personable with their welcoming! I have never experienced such a welcoming atmosphere by not one but all the staff! They are there to assist you in your activities, restaurant recommendations and any questions you may have! What a way to start our visit! Housekeeping are just as friendly, thorough in their cleaning and very prompt! The kitchen and serving staff are superb. We have had breakfast, lunch and dinner here . Only breakfast is included with the room so with all the fine restaurants in Positano, we did experience lunch and dinner here. Again, service and food were excellent!excellent! Realizing we may want to experience other restaurants, the staff was there with great recommendations. We couldn’t ask for more. We enjoyed this hotel immensely! I don’t know how many star hotel this is reported but in my mind it deserves the highest rating!

We loved our time at Villa Gabrisa. Rooms are elegant, views of Positano and Amalfi are stunning, food is great and staff are wonderful. Give it a try. We watched the sunsets from our balcony, walked up and down the street to nice restaurants, read our books outdoor on the terrace of this beautiful place we now call our home.|I can't think of a better place for a few days in this beautiful spot on the Amalfi Coast.

What a wonderful hotel. The staff were all great and very helpful arranging transport for all the different activities we did. The location was perfect and the hotel has beautiful views overlooking the water. Will definitely stay here again. The onsite restaurant was very good as well.

I stayed two nights with my wife and we loved everything about this hotel. The staff was absolutely amazing and so accommodating. They helped arrange our transportation from Naples, it was very seamless and the check in process was easy. Our room was beautiful, we loved the decor and the views. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant and it was one of our favorite meals. Location was great, we enjoyed the quick walk to town and the beach. We could not recommend this hotel any higher, it makes for a wonderful stay in Positano.

I had the most wonderful time at this hotel and can't wait to come back again soon. The rooms are clean and cozy, and have beautiful views of Positano. I stayed in one of the attic rooms which had a balcony. The hotel is conveniently located near the SITA bus stop and only about 5-10min walk from the bus stop if you take the stairs to the right of the church (Positano is a city with lots of stairs which serve as shortcuts to the one main road). The best part of my stay was the exceptional service by the entire staff, but especially GIADA. Grazie! Book your stay here :)

My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights and could not have been happier with the experience! The hotel and the honeymoon suite was beautiful!! It was always kept very clean and the views from the balcony were absolutely breathtaking! From the moment we arrived, the staff were all so friendly, helpful, and attentive. Giada was exceptional and was always happy to help us. We really enjoyed talking to her and she ensured that our trip was incredible! The restaurant was also excellent. We would highly recommend Hotel Villa Gabrisa to anybody coming to Positano!!

This was a horrible experience with customer service. We booked a last minute trip to Italy and were looking for any available room in positano for 2 nights. We found this hotel, tried to book it twice (even though it was not our first choice) and were told the payment was NOT processed and the reservation was not made. So, we found another hotel and booked that properly instead (it was a MUCH more reasonable rate as well, and such nice owners!) then later, I received a confirmation that villa gabrisa confirmed our booking. I immediately responded and said that we had in fact not made the booking, included the screenshots of the "payment not processed" screens, and asked that they kindly cancel whatever booking they seemed to have on file. The owners said no, the rate was non-refundable and they would not cancel it. I explained what happened and they still said no way, we had to keep our $1700 for two night booking even though we did NOT want to stay there. They were being so rude, we decided it wasn't worth it to deal with them. The other hotel owner was so incredibly kind and when we explained what villa gabrisa was doing, they cancelled our reservation at no cost to us (even though that was a nonrefundable rate as well - the difference in kind and considerate ownership). On site, it was obvious the owners were being rude to us based on this situation. We tried to interact with them as little as possible, but it was still so disappointing to spend so much money for such an unpleasant experience. I would never recommend this hotel, all based on the poor customer service and rude ownership.

Where do I begin, we went to Positano in the off season (March) and booked a room at the Gabrisa- literally last minute, since we were traveling casually and without a firm plan (which in my opinion is a great way to do it because you will stumble upon CHARMING, magical places such as the Villa Gabrisa that have last minute deals. When we checked in to the hotel, the first room they brought us to was okay, but based on their advertising of the room we thought we'd booked, we were anticipating something larger with a bigger balcony. This first room was on the top floor and had a baby balcony. We if we could switch to another room that had a bigger balcony. They were so nice and said we could for 40 euros more... we looked at the room and UH YES-WHAT A GREAT DEAL. This room was HUGE, with a giant bathroom that had a jet spa tub overlooking the mountainside, and a giant balcony that made us feel like we were royalty. This was BY far the MOST magical part of our trip in Italy (Amalfi, Rome, Orvieto and Venice). Amalfi itself will take your breath away, but having such an accommodating and patient staff was the icing on the cake. And when I say patient I mean Paaaaatttttiiiiieeeeennnntttt, as shown by their lack of frustration with my travel partner who earned the name American princess (ugh...I know). So if you have someone in your group who is high maintenance, have no fear- they will be graciously catered to here! After getting in our room-we did not even unpack, we were transfixed on the balcony which overlooked Positano and the Amalfi coast. The staff brought us a bottle of Franciacorta and a BEAUTIFUL assortment of Italian meats and cheeses (upon arriving we made a mention of how hungry we were and they went above and beyond). We arrived around 2pm, so it was too early for getting Aperitivo and too late for lunch (places close in between). Every morning, Gabrisa puts out a complimentary breakfast- usually meats, cheeses, and breads. The real winner was the cappuccino that I enjoyed at a small table across the street overlooking the mountainside and ocean below. One word AMAZING. We walked down to the beach each day, which is about 20 minutes down, through charming little shops and restaurants. Since it was March not much was open, but the beach made it all worth it. The walk up is definitely not fun, as it is almost completely vertical, but hey it helped us work off all the pasta at least... It was very difficult leaving Amalfi and we almost stayed one extra day.. but we had to move on to Venice. I would suggest on your way out of Positano stopping to see Pompeii. This is something we STILL wish we had done. I also suggest looking at my photos, because they really do speak for themselves and embody what words cannot regarding how great this experience at Villa Gabrisa was.

This hotel was absolutely incredible. It is a small, boutique hotel with a lot of charm. We had a beautiful room and the staff went over and above in making us feel welcomed. The hotel restaurant served some of the best food we had on our trip and the complimentary breakfast was also very good. I highly recommend this hotel and would come back here.

I have great things to say about this hotel! We stayed here on our honeymoon to Positano for 6 days, so we were given and upgrade, probably because of how long we were there and how early in the season it was. The room was clean and pretty big, with two showers, a great bathtub, the bed was comfortable, and the balcony was small yet comfortable and had a great view. The service was very friendly and helpful, in the hotel and the conjoining restaurant. They had plenty of suggestions of places to go and were very helpful when we realized we needed a taxi for 3AM on our last day there. My only complaint was the WiFi which broke halfway through our trip. This is definitely a silly complaint, we really shouldn't need WiFi on our trip. It was just a bit of an inconvenience when it came time to check into our flight, review travel plans, contact family, etc.

Beautiful hotel! Great Staff! Stunning views! Leila is amazing and helpful. Their beer and wine selection is out of this world too. HIGHLY recommended!

First of all, if you're staying anywhere in Positano, you must know that the view is going to be amazing wherever you stay. Villa gabrisa is no different, and it's lovely. Since some of my friends were staying in other hotels, I can tell you gabrisa's rooms are about the same as others, but you will be thankful for the bathroom. The water pressure is legit, there is a shower door (not all hotels have this). These things matter to me. The breakfast included with our stay was also delightful, and you can have it outside while overlooking the water and it's just magical. What really made this five stars for me was the staff. We were here for a wedding and they were so incredibly nice and accommodating and helpful. I honestly cannot say enough good things about the people who work here. It really made our stay in Positano exceptional.

What a great charming hotel nestled in the Positano. hillside over looking the amazing ocean! Great service by Layla and Meme that made the experience even better. They are both assets to this amazing team!

Wonderful hotel with a great staff that is attentive and helpful. Great comp breakfast and nice, but pricy restaurant. Room was spacious and very comfortable with great closet and drawer space for a hotel. Would stay again.

If I could give zero stars I would. I booked this hotel in January 2018 for an August visit. A week after booking, I discovered I mistakenly booked for August 20 versus August 21, the date needed for my stay. Because I booked a non-refundable rate, the hotel refused to refund or change my date. I had Travelocity contact them on 3 occasions between January and July with the last try again today as I saw the hotel is now fully booked with exception of the honeymoon suite, and could easily rebook my room during the busy August season. But, Travelocity reports that the hotel won't change the date, offer any sort of refund (even partial) or even give a credit towards another stay. Wow. Unbelievably bad customer service. The Travelocity rep felt the hotel was so awful he got his manager to offer me a credit towards another future trip. So, I'm thankful for that, but I wouldn't stay ever stay at this hotel if that's the attitude they have...

This review is for the restaurant Da Gabrisa. I don't see it on yelp yet. The food was delicious and the view and service also spectacular. Highly recommend this restaurant it was our favorite in positano.

Didn't stay there but we will next time. Family owned and run and they were amazingly helpful to our needs of almost everything including buying groceries, tours, directions and purchasing train tickets to our next destination. They also own a wine store that we visited daily. We did eat there a couple days and their service was excellent and quality of their food was amazing. Highly recommend.

So in addition to my prior comments, the owner contacted me but hasn't responded to my last communication. These are some of the details that appear to not appear in my first review. The room was small. The window/balcony doors had no complete shades or sheer curtains. The bathroom door had hardware that was loose or about to come off. The wi-fi router was placed in an upper area of the room that kept the room a lit with an intermittent/changing light at night. The housekeeping service was fast and minimal. No replenishment of shampoo, soap, conditioner etc. only left what was already used. There is definitely more but we will leave it at that. Oh, the owner says we were extended use of their Wine Bar when we checked in. They certainly did not do so, I think she better compare notes with her staff on that one. If we had known they had service at the hotel we more than likely would have taken advantage of that.

Lovely little hotel with a beautiful view. Parking available, just ask the front desk. Well worth the drive to Positano. Enjoy the breakfast buffet before setting out for the day.

If I could give a zero for a star rating I would. I chose this hotel for my honeymoon to my sweet wonderful husband. We were supposed to go in August and we booked the largest suite. Instead, of being married in August we were married in a chapel at a hospital because my husband was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer with a life expectancy for most of 14 months. This is us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gto7I3ZldXw It was hard enough to cancel my honeymoon from a hospital room. Every other merchant understood. This process started two months ago and even when it was a situation where it was a non-refundable room they understood because they still had several months to re-book the room. The ONLY merchant that would not refund our money was this hotel. I explained the situation and they actually suggested that I COME ANOTHER TIME! How disgustingly insensitive. Yes, going on a trip without my husband to our honeymoon destination is exactly what I want to do. How disgusting to even suggest such a thing. I booked it through booking.com and they stated that the decision was solely up to the merchant and when the merchant said no they suggested I dispute and that I would win. Well I informed the hotel of this as well and they just ignored my email. So, be warned. I am sure they seem nice but this business practice is truly disgusting insensitive and down right in human. There are many beautiful hotels. I hope this story prevents anyone reading this from going here. Go somewhere else and leave a place that acts like this alone. They disgust me. I hope the hotels reads this and if they do...LOOK at my picture. LOOK at the PEOPLE you cant seem to consider when you make your choices. LOOK at my husband who is currently fighting for his life against a cancer. KNOW we have tons of medical bills and the $1400.00 you charged for 3 days could go towards meds for him or an extra week for me to stay home with him. You would have had 5 months to re-sell that room. I am posting this review every place I can. You disgust me.
