Staff very polite, rooms always cleaned meticulously, great view
Room and bathroom very well equipped and updated. View from room was amazing! Breakfast on patio/balcony was especially nice. Staff goes to great lengths to ensure satisfaction. Many good restaurants are within 5 to 10 min walking distance I'm convinced that anyone traveling to Positano would be pleased with these accommodations. I WILL go back one day!
Wonderful property. Location and our beautiful balcony offering the best view of the Positano bay .
I will highly recommend it .
Not difficult for your bags .
Great hotel. Clean, quiet, amazing terrace. Great breakfast every morning delivered to your room. Friendly staff. We loved our beautiful visitors Cats would come to our terrace and hang with us.

Breakfast was great
It was 15 -30 minutes walk to main square, of course lots of steps & up and down , but this Positano after all
We would definitely stay here if we ever come to Posatino again ❤️🙏
The family owned hotel people were the best. Always with a happy greeting, glad to help with anything. Restaurant reservations, personal drivers, taxi’s and recommendations for places to visit.

Awesome. Great location, helpful staff, excellent restaurant
Great hotel. Would highly recommend. Very thankful they had parking as it is very difficult in Positano to park. Fantastic food and great breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was very clean with a great view. Very central.
What a wonderful family-run hotel. Great service all around with clean, spacious rooms. They even deliver breakfast to your room so you can eat out on the balcony overlooking the sea.
