I had hoped I could help as I have stayed on the Amalfi Coast and in Naples several times but don't know any of those properties.
Here's an old post about Casa Angelina: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/luxu...l#post22713652

Angelina is no longer part of SLH/Hyatt which is too bad becasue it looks great. I am booked at Villa Franca next June and am excited about it. Its hard to find award availability. I had to keep trying.

We aren't going until October and award availability for Villa Franca doesn't look too bad. Maybe I'll put that on hold and keep an eye on any reviews

Any tips on finding award availability? Not a huge fan of having to search day by day...

If you want something gotta work at least a little bit for it. Check everyday, day by day until you find what you want. I recently came across 2 nights at villa franca this way in peak season. Will report back on how it is! Also trying to snag cocumella but having some difficulty for my dates.

Review: Grand Hotel Cocumella
We arrived at 1:30 PM and were warmly greeted. The room was ready and we were shown to it immediately. I had booked a Classic Double for three nights but noticed yesterday that a Bi-Level Duplex Suite had opened up for the next two nights. I made a new reservation for those nights and amended my original to one night figuring we would change rooms tomorrow. Surprisingly, they were able to get us into the Suite for all three nights! The rate is around 780 euros a night, which is not cheap but seems worth it in this beautiful hotel.
The grounds are spectacular. Lemon groves, tons of flowers, trees, etc. They grow their own produce and we saw eggplant, tomatoes, and more growing.
The room is beautiful and the air conditioning works well. The Wi-Fi is pretty speedy. The hotel common areas feel like a museum. So many nooks in this old monastery to relax and even though it is fully booked it feels serene. Lunch was amazing by the pool (which is huge and well attended). The pasta and pizza was made so fresh (again with produce from the garden). Breakfast is complimentary and the dining room looks beautiful. We are headed down to the private beach (it's a wood platform with umbrellas and sunbeds).
Happy to answer any questions but from being here a few hours it feels like paradise!
Edited to add final thoughts: The hotel was great the entire stay. Staff is friendly. Even though it was fully booked, we hardly saw anyone at the pool, the beach, at breakfast, or in any other areas.

Recently stayed at Villa Franca. It's an incredible property and very well appointed. Nice location and incredible views. We were given a nice full ocean view room with a welcome amenity of cake and prosecco. We had breakfast in the restaurant each morning, did not realize that in room was an option. Food was great and they give you so much. There is an additional menu for upcharge items as well. To get there we took a ferry into Positano and had a porter take the bags up. Aside from walking and taxi there is a city bus but it is small. You can bring suitcase on it but they will charge you extra.
