We can't say enough good things about our stay with Valentina and their lovely family/friends. Starting with the location, the pictures do not do the villa justice. Perched above, in Nocelle - about 20 min from the heart of Positano, the views are incredible. We would come back each evening via bus (easy to use) to see the sunsets from our villa. It is quiet and peaceful, a nice little break from the hustle & bustle. Each morning, we had a lovely breakfast made by our new friend Patrizia, with fresh produce and pastries. and can't forget the coffee! The rooms were very clean, and any questions we had were answered quickly by the hosts. Valentina was so kind to assist us in arranging for an early flight pick up. We had to leave for the NAP airport at 430 AM, and she not only helped arrange a car to pick us up right on the dot, but also a porter who helped us carry our luggage. We would 100% recommend staying here, and look forward to returning back to this lovely place.

Given inherent location of Nocelle, and the limited food options for dinner in the area (there are 2 restaurants nearby), would just recommend bringing food back from Positano for any late night bites/snacking cravings!

Beautifully furnished, with a typical flavor, and exceptionally clean. The room, terrace, and receiving area were just beautiful. The porters were indispensable to carry the luggage to the room. The restaurant Valentina recommended 2 minutes walk away was amazing!

It’s hard work to get there by public bus or taxi. It’s a long and uncomfortable ride, specially with luggage. Not the property’s fault, but fair warning is warded. The bus charges per person and per piece of luggage. It leaves each hour on the 20 minute mark, and you have to fight locals and other weary tourists to get on board.

One of the most wonderful places I've ever had the pleasure of staying at so far! Jawdropping views from the rooms and the terrace (exactly as the pictures show), with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere since Nocelle is a pedestrian-only town. Our room was cleaned immaculately each day, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and smelled wonderful. Top-tier hospitality to top it all off. Mariangela gave us such a warm welcome and helped us with our luggages, Patricia greeted us each morning with a friendly smile and a delicious breakfast, and there was a drink and snack in the room waiting for us when we arrived. Valentina was responsive over WhatsApp with any questions we had, such as with arranging a porter for our departure. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to visit the Amalfi Coast, unless you've got bad motion sickness or have accessibility needs (see the downsides below).

Nocelle is at the end of a steep and winding road (around 20-30 minutes by car/bus, depending on traffic), and the bus journey can be rough if you're prone to motion sickness. The bus is hourly, and it can get very crowded trying to go back up to Nocelle from Positano (tip: always try to get on at the beginning of the bus line in Positano, at Piazza dei Mulini). Also, the road at Nocelle ends where the bus stop is, with quite a lot of stairs to get to the property -- if you've got large suitcases, it's well worth arranging a porter (Valentina provided a number that we could message directly). For us, these inconveniences were a small price to pay for the upsides, and the property was absolutely worth it!

Excellent property, clean with outstanding staff and the most comfortable bed ever! Great breakfast, incredible views!! Very peaceful and quiet little village that felt very safe. 2 great restaurants nearby to walk to. Close to the Path of the gods, a beautiful hike not to be missed.

It’s difficult to get to the property, and farther from Positano than we realized. It’s hard to find and expensive to get a taxi. There’s a bus that goes to town often but it is crowded with standing room only. The road up the mountain is very narrow and windy, causing many people to be carsick. The bus took 45-55 minutes. That was the only negative about this property!

This bed & breakfast was the PERFECT Positano stay. The room was very clean and had an excellent view of the sea from our balcony. It is definitely worth an upgrade to get a room with the balcony. The breakfast each morning was fresh and delicious. Our favorite part was the fresh squeezed orange juice. The meal was large and filling. I am glad we stayed up in Nocelle as it was more peaceful, quiet and relaxing. It is right at the start of the Path of the Gods. We walked down the stairs into Positano one day and would definitely recommend as the views were stunning and we ended at a lovely beach. There are additional steps to get to the bed and breakfast from the bus/taxi stop. we were glad we packed in backpacks rather than luggage with wheels.

I was nervous about the bus system after reading reviews that it was often delayed and overcrowded. We went in early May 2024 and never had an issue with the bus system. It was a small bus but it was always on time. It runs once an hour. Almost everyone has to ride the bus to get around Positano, so it was nice to always be the first/last stop. You can buy tickets on board in cash or go the tobacco store across the street from the main stop in Positano to buy discounted tickets in cash.

We could not have had a better experience at La Borragine. From the moment we got there we felt so welcomed by Valentina and Mary Angela and their entire family. They helped us organize a transfer from the airport and the driver was waiting right outside baggage claim at the naples airport, so easy to find. It only took about an hour and a half to get to Nocelle from the Naples airport and the driver was fantastic. After a very long travel day, I left my phone in the car and Valentina was able to get it back for me from the driver in less than 24 hours. There is a limoncello cart at the bottom of the hill where the property is and the man that owns it is named Raffaele -- we bought something from him everytime we left the property. He made our experience that much better! Breakfast was INCREDIBLE and getting to Positano Center was easy, just a 20 minute bus ride from Nocelle and buses run often. If you want to stay out later than the last bus, you can always get a taxi back. The highlight of our trip was the dinner at Mama Luisa's which is on the rooftop of La Borragine. It's a family style meal, cooked by the family with ingredients they grow on the property with about 12 people from around the world. We left the dinner with new friends from the US, the UK, Australia, and Norway and it was a night we'll never forget. We cannot thank Mary Angela, Valentina, and the rest of their family enough for the absolutely incredible experience we had. We would recommend this to anyone looking for an authentic experience. From the views, to the food, to the shower, and the service - everything was exceptional.

nothing.

The view was spectacular! The room was very clean and had all the amenities needed. Breakfast was provided daily. Very good- especially the omelette. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Owner gave great details of getting to the location. Made great restaurant recommendations. Welcomed us with a bottle of their own wine- delicious! We would definitely stay here again.

The area/town is full of stairs. Obviously- the town is built into the hillside. Just be prepared and hire a porter to help with luggage.

Every day we had a delicious, homemade breakfast on the terrace overlooking the beautiful scenery that is Positano. It was some of the best breakfast we've had on the trip! Valentina and her family were very accommodating and also made us an early breakfast when we had plans early morning plans for the day. They also host an intimate family-style meal 1-2 times per week at Mama Luisa's which was conveniently located right on premises. Highly recommended!

Nothing! Valentina and her family were the perfect hosts! Everything from the amenities, to the view and the hospitality were top notch! I would 100% recommend staying here and wouldn't change anything about our stay.

La Borragine Rooms are located in the picturesque destination of Nocelle, just outside of Positano. This is a quiet area with amazing views, away from the hustle and bustle of busy Positano. There is a handy local bus service that runs regularly to take you in & out of Positano. The staff at La Borragine are very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome during our stay. We had a delicious home cooked breakfast each morning, on the terrace, overlooking the spectacular views of the sea and Positano. The rooms were beautifully decorated and were spotlessly clean, with a daily cleaning service.

The view is amazing and the room is comfortable and clean. Patricia makes you an amazing breakfast every morning and is so friendly. You are right off the Path of the Gods trail so it is very convienent if you want to hike. A couple of the restaruants are very good and way more quiet than in town.

We really thought we were staying closer into town but this was far up the mountain. I was initally very disappointed but the facility far made up for the location. Also, it is very crowded in town.
