"Interesting stay ! One night. The property is way up the hill. Thought we had a room in the main building but apparently we booked a one bedroom about 2 mins walk away from main property. Reception : young 16 year old intern was very helpful and courteous. Offered us an adult beverage. And water. Gave us tourist information which was on point. Their terrace was very good. Great views of Positano. Next morning the breakfast though not very elaborate was good. Lone Hostess made sure we were well attended to. The apartment had a loft bedroom upstairs and kitchenette dining table and bathroom downstairs ( challenge if you have to go to the restroom 1-3 times a night). Zero view and noisy… in an alley that people use to drag their luggage and head to the 2nd beach. No nightlight to go down steps in apartment so must keep bathroom light on to see where you are going and that light is too bright. Catch 22. Commode seat was not bolted. Floating. Paid a pretty penny for that night .. was expecting better. Buyer beware and research before you book .. ! Bon Voyage !"
