Castello di Arechi Tours and Activities

The check-in process was completely lacking. I stood outside for over an hour emailing calling and trying to get lit in the door. It says the front office is open, but you have to know how to get in the door. Apparently you have to use the keypad and click on one of the options that was available. But nowhere was that in the directions and the phone number to call the reception area was not taking phone calls and no one ever responded to my emails so I spent almost 2 hours standing outside until other people came along and let me in. Absolutely ridiculous!

The staff was very welcoming and accomodating as we all arrived as a group of 8 at different times. They were able to keep us all on the same floor and the room type were as promised. The rooms were very clean and we felt very safe. The front desk staff was helpful in dining recommendations as well as directions to the beach. All of their "local" recommendations were amazing! The treck to the beach was up and dosn many stairs but not the fault of the hotel. We would highly recommend a stay at the Bellevue.

The location is perfect. It’s located at one of the highest points on the hill, which provides an amazing view over Positano during the night and daytime (Depending on which way your room / balcony is facing of course). The hotel provides a shuttle service to and from the beach during specific hours only (In the event you are not up to walking from the beach back upstairs to the hotel) and the Luxury shuttle to Naples airport came in clutch. The staff was amazing and ensured that I had the best hotel stay and best time in Positano. If you would like an elite experience, I highly recommend staying at HVF.
