“Rifugio degli Dei” rose from what was an ancient rural factory built in the middle of the 8 century by our great-grandfathers, who, with knowledge and passion, were dedicated to the cultivation and care of the vast olive groves, gardens and animals that surrounded this special place.

It was perfectly reconstructed in 2007 and particular attention was paid to preserving the architectural character typical of the Amalfi Coast and of Positano, such as the vaulted ceilings and “gaveta”, chestnut-wood architraves and slaked plaster walls.

The old building whit its olive grove is located in Positano in the quarter known as Arienzo in the “Parco dei Monti Lattari”, with around 250 stairs from the main road and illuminated path surrounded by the green Mediterranean undergrowth to reach it.

From this age-old agricultural place, one enjoys an exceptional panoramic view, where the mesmerizing beauty of Positano, the island of Li Galli, Punta Campanella and Capri, lie before you – all this within a space of absolute tranquility.

The Country House, surrounded by olive groves and bush in this enchanting corner of Positano, has been divided into three apartments: Poseidone, Dioniso and Afrodite and have been simply, yet tastefully, furnished, with particular care given to maintaining classic architectural details found historically along the Amalfi Coast.

An absolutely stunning stay in Positano, we could not have asked for anything better. The room was well equipped with amazing views, air conditioning, and a small kitchenette. Davide and his family were exceptional hosts! They were very helpful with our luggage, transportation, and giving us tips for exploring Positano. Breakfast was a highlight of our stay! Davides mother made delicious cakes and we were always greeted with coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. This truly is such a gem of a place and we're so happy our paths crossed with it. I could no recommend it enough!

My husband and I had a lovely stay. The hosts were so kind and accommodating. The climb up to the B&B is about 400 stairs so keep that in mind. Our apartment space was sparse but clean. Would recommend!

Excellent experience. The B&B is away from the crazy tourist circus that is downtown Positano. It's a short walk from downtown and up a few stairs. You can enjoy a panoramic view of the water and city, while sipping your coffee on your private terrace among singing birds. The hosts are fantastic. I was taking pictures of their tomatoes in the garden and the grandma saw me, the next day I had some fresh tomatoes from the garden in my kitchen. That's sweet. The suite is huge and immaculate. Breakfast was excellent. I'm sure you are seeing the trend so I'll stop here and finish with it was our best experience in Italy.

We stayed at the Refugio Degli Dei for 5 days (August 23-28) - We loved it. Davide and Anna are very helpful. The rooms are spotless. Bar fridge is filled with reasonably priced drinks in case you forget to pick stuff up in town. Breakfast is done well, and there is always the amazing view. This place is a bargain - but getting to it is not for the feint of heart. If you can do a few hundred steps without too much trouble, you will find the stay here well worth the effort.

Very beautiful structure, the only flaw is the steps to reach the structure (after all, the coast is all steps), but I assure you that it is not so tiring and the view, once you arrive, is truly unique. The place is very strategic because at the bottom of the steps there is the bus stop, both SITA and the internal minibus to Positano which takes you to the center in 2 minutes (my girlfriend and I also walked a few evenings, about 15/20 minutes). Furthermore, crossing the street and climbing more stairs, you can reach the Arienzo beach, very convenient and quiet. Another advantage for those who love walking is the start of the Path of the Gods, which starts right from the structure, I highly recommend doing it. The breakfast was modest, not a huge buffet, but all very good and prepared by the owner Anna with their products. Highly recommended!

La cortesia dei gestori e la posizione panoramica hanno reso il mio soggiorno indimenticabile. La pulizia da 10 e lode, la disponibilità dei gestori mi ha davvero sorpreso. Consiglio a tutti coloro che vogliono abbinare ad un soggiorno mare delle belle camminate di valutare questo piccolo angolo di paradiso. La vista è mozzafiato e la natura che avvolge la struttura fantastica.

B&B in posizione spettacolare all'interno di uno splendido giardino di ulivi e limoni. Siamo stati in un ampio appartamentino nuovissimo e ordinatissimo con vista mozzafiato su Positano. La terrazza privata vale giornate di completo relax senza spostarsi in paese. L'accoglienza è splendida: calorosa e amichevole; dopo un giorno ci si sente in famiglia. Le colazioni favolose, con le ottime torte della signora. Una bella spiaggia attrezzata è proprio sotto la strada all'inizio della scalinata. I 350 gradini per raggiungere il B&B sono un peso solo i primi giorni: poi sono un piccolo allenamento per il Sentiero degli Dei, una escursione meravigliosa da fare in entrambi i sensi. Complimenti per il B&B e la sua gestione: siete meravigliosi! Dobbiamo ritornare assolutamente! Marco (Torino).

Beh, che dire. Abbiamo avuto l'onore di pernottare una settimana in questo angolo di paradiso e possiamo solo spendere parole positive su questa struttura, a partire dall'atmosfera, i silenzi, la vista meravigliosa che ti riempie la mente e il cuore, la pulizia. Ma sicuramente il punteggio più alto va a loro: Davide, la signora Anna e il Signor Ludovico, la splendida famiglia che gestisce questo posto meraviglioso e che, da subito, vi farà sentire "non in vacanza" bensì "in famiglia"! Unica nota dolente le famose scale ma se così non fosse sarebbe perfetto. E poi una volta su sarete ampiamente ricompensati!
