Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The fantastic large terrace balcony with a view of the ocean was a highlight, but the basic rooms could use an update. The service was superbly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond with restaurant recommendations and organizing our airport transfer. The location, although perfect for some and a bit far up the hill for others, had its charms. The dining options were a bit lacking in variety but had a lovely setup for a light breakfast. Overall, the facilities were decent, with some areas that could use improvement.
I absolutely loved the hotel's stunning views, perfect for enjoying a drink on the balcony. While the rooms were a bit small, we still had a wonderful time, even opting for a takeaway cheese plate and wine for a cozy dinner setup. The service was top-notch, except for a minor blip overnight. The location, though not central, was convenient, offering easy access to the main Positano area and local transport. The dining experience was surprisingly good with a beautiful sea view. Overall, a delightful stay with minor hiccups along the way.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It's nestled in a wonderful location, just a short walk from the Positano bus stop and offers its own parking space, making life so much easier in this area where parking is scarce. The traditional style of the hotel gives it a unique charm, and the rooms boast stunning views both above and below. However, it's a bit of a trek up the hill and slightly far from the beach and city center.
