This hotel was amazing. The room was so nice. The view was spectacular. The staff was awesome...helpful and very friendly. The location was great because it was far enough away from the "busy" part of Positano but close enough to walk to the main shopping areas. We loved our stay in L'Ancora and will definitely recommend to our friends and family should they travel to Positano.

This hotel is very comfortable and has a great view and value. Vincenzo at the front desk always wore a smile, and Susie and I shared many conversations. These two made me feel so welcomed. Is this hotel the peak of luxury in Positano? No but it was clean, affordable, welcoming, beautiful view, great location, solid breakfast delivered to your room daily included.

Excellent property, the restaurant alone is a destination place, and having the hotel located in the middle of the shopping area is positioned perfectly, built on the side of the mountain along the Almafi Coast. Rooms are beautiful and the view is beyond compare .

This hotel was amazing and the staff were so lovely and attentive. The only thing that could be improved is that the bed was really firm (no mattress topper) but other than that the room was perfect. The location is where you want to be, right in the middle with everything you need around it. Would definitely recommend!

Our stay at hotel L’ancora was absolutely wonderful. Positano has been my favorite town in Italy, I did not want to leave. This hotel made us feel at home with its amazing central location, great staff, and included breakfast was a big plus!! We even used the transfer service at the end of our trip to Naples train station and our driver was punctual and made sure to get us to the station safe and on time. I truly loved our stay and can’t wait to go back.
