We enjoyed our stay . The staff were pleasant and extremely helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Our was big and the view of the coast from our room was magical . The bartender at the bar is so pleasant and helped us out a lot his drinks were also so good. The hotel is about a 20 min drive to Positano and Amalfi . The walk to the beach is about 8 mins and there are 2 restaurant options by the beach which were good

We loved staying at Maria Via Pia! It’s away from the crowds at Positano & Amalfi but close enough (10 min to Positano and 20 to Amalfi). We walked to the the famous Fiorde de Furore, rented Vespas to drive to Rovello and Minori. It’s was so nice to come back to a quiet place to relax, the breakfast was great and we had some great cocktails with Nicoli after a long day. The private boat transfer was also soooo convenient from the dock at Maria Via Pia! A perfect place to stay on the water, to relax and see the Amalfi coast!!! I’d highly recommend it!!!

So this is the only hotel that has steps down to the water where boats and boat taxis can pick you up. 10 feet from this platform there is a cave and grotto big enough for boats to go inside. And is right there for you. We stayed in room 14 which is close to the water. Request rooms down below as there are about 4 of them. Stay here.

The best thing about this hotel was the helpful staff. They arranged transportation and gave us useful tips on getting around in the area. The chef came out and customized a meal for us. That extra attention to detail and the beautiful view made our stay fantastic!
8.0
Extremely uncomfortable bed with a plastic, wrinkled mattress cover. Inadequate poor quality blankets. Breakfast was ok but many items were processed and not fresh like juices and baked goods. Did not like the only available milk being pamalait lactose free. But very nice, friendly staff and intimate atmosphere. Beware as there are many many steps approx 200 to the private dock and most days there the water was too rough to contemplate getting in the water there. Pool is very small and I would categorize it as a dipping pool.
Parking is tough in the area and expensive. We didn’t like the food in the whole area- very overpriced, heavy complicated tourist fare. In short food was a disappointment. Views from hotel are very nice (as expected). Probably an ok value of the all overpriced hotels in the area. Anywhere else I would give the hotel 2 stars and not stay there.

We had a suite. This suite had only outside access with 52 steps. We were not notified of this in advance. Room was lovely.
They have a bar and breakfast area that doubles as a restaurant as well. There is what I believe is family in there at all times over the 4 nights we were there. They were either playing cards, eating or talking. It was very unprofessional. Family stayed in suite above us and were arguing late into the night a couple times. Nix the bartender was excellent. Room did not get cleaned one day and had to ask a second time to get it done. Yes they apologized but it didn’t feel sincere. And I shouldn’t have had to ask twice.
I’d say family business is trying but need to step up for the rates they charge.

The location was great. Couldn’t ask for better access to the water. The staff was unbelievable. They met our every need and we’re happy to do it. Would highly recommend for a laid-back vacation. There’s a bus stop right at the entrance to the hotel, which makes it convenient once you figure out the bus schedule.

We had a great stay at Hotel Villa Maria Pia. My wife said it was the nicest hotel room she had ever stayed at. Comfortable bed great view. The room was in excellent condition and very clean.
The staff was excellent and they went above and beyond to help us with planning. They even picking us up from the bus stop when we got of at the wrong stop. Tip the busses do not stop at every stop. So press the stop button before you reach your stop.
Love this hotel would definitely stay there again.

This stay was amazing for my honeymoon. We wanted to stay close to Positano without the crowds and stairs. This location was incredible, the property was beautiful and quiet and the staff was so friendly. I would recommend this place to everyone. The breakfast exceeded my expectations, i stuffed my face every morning. The restaurant was tasty, only ate there once and ordered the eggplant parmigiana and a pizza- both delicious. You access the property from the main road- no stairs required. If you want to swim in the ocean it’s about 100ish steps down to the bottom where there’s a ladder. Once you’re in the water you’re able to access a grotto- it’s really stunning and so neat. Off the main road is a 2 minute walk to another set of stairs that gets you access to a couple very cute restaurants (we reccomend Il Pirata for day beds and also dinner) as well as another beach with a couple rentals for kayaks and paddle boards. We didn’t venture out much past this beach, “Maria di Praia” but if you can i would go see Fiordo di Furore. We took a water taxi from the hotels beach access to Positano for a day trip it was only €40, we even decided to trek down with our suitcases and take a water taxi to the ferry port to head to Capri next. The room was very clean, had so much charm and comfortable enough for my husband and I. Only heads up is the showers here are very small, but there’s nothing wrong with that! If you book you will really enjoy your stay. Thank you Villa Maria Pia!

One of the best swimming spots on the Amalfi Coast. Great bar and hotel restaurant. But it was the helpful friendly staff that made it even more enjoyable. We had breathtaking views of the ocean and we loved it.

From the moment we walked in we felt so much at home. The staff was incredibly kind and responsive and the room we had was like a slice of heaven with a king size bed, state of the art bathroom and shower with a private balcony with an incredible view of the coast line just over the grotto the property was over.
I travel a lot and this is by far one of the best if not the best hotel experience. This is a multigenerational family business and I felt being treated like family as well.

Very very good quality hotel. Access to a private dock to the water. Pool is also quite nice. Staff was very welcoming and nice. Would recommend going there instead of the overpopulated Positano.

The manager and entire staff at the hotel were so accommodating, helpful and friendly. The food and service was great. Parking is interesting and driving once you arrive is not recommended but doable. Overall we enjoyed our stay, we loved the location and definitely stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was great, bed amazing especially for an Italian hotel, and our proximity and view over the water was wonderful. The staff are friendly the breakfast and dinner was a high quality.having a parking spot around the Amalfi coast is an added bonus. Would highly recommend.

Great hotel with amazing staff, it was perfect for our stay we enjoyed the hotel grounds and relaxed by the sea, walked to nearby beach, beach club and restaurants, and ventured out to surrounding towns by scooter that the hotel provided at a reasonable price as well as by water taxi that they booked for us. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

We cannot say enough good things about this hotel and recommend a stay here if you get the chance. In Praiano, so not as busy. Service, rooms, views were incredible. It is situated on a cliff so multi-level and many stairs! But, well worth it! Took a water taxi to Positano, which is the best way to go - about 15 minutes. But, MANY stairs to get down to landing.

The stay at Maria Pía was absolutely perfect. The staff is exceptional and extremely helpful. Couldn’t have picked a better place or area to enjoy our last 6 days in italy!

The stay was lovely, we were a little early in the season so the pool was not filled up, which was a shame as it meant that guests went elsewhere in the day. We stayed two nights, went to sleep with the sound of the sea, had great breakfasts, and the staff were amazing.

The hotel was beautiful. How ever the staff was amazing. The owners are on the property so you can see them every day. I would highly recommend this hotel, and I would absolutely stay there again. Nello and Julia would go out of their way to do anything for you. Plus they are sweet, charming and a lot of fun.

Just a perfect hotel on the Amalfi cost. In the middle of all regions to visit and extremely practical. The bus stop is 10 seconds away (best way to move on the coast). And the staff is just extremely helpful, kind and always smiling.
Would recommend it without any doubt

We enjoyed staying at this hotel. It's a little out of the way. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated. The food was good but no hot items in the breakfast buffet. The coffee was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Just an FYI they require cash for the city tax.
