We absolutely loved our stay here. Although we only stayed for one night, we received world class service and hospitality. Paolo and Angela were extremely gracious and helpful - recognizing we would need a transfer service the next day, they proactively booked it for us in advance and offered several helpful recommendations. Our room was upgraded and overlooking the water, very close to shopping/clubs/restaurants. Breakfast was superb. Do not hesitate to book here - Marincanto will make sure you have a fantastic experience in Positano.

Stunning location - fantastic staff & views from terrace. Close to everything in Positano - Our view (room 203) was blocked by the shade sails - request a higher level if you want a clear view from your balcony. Otherwise it was lovely

I booked a suite, the bedroom was the smallest of the 3 rooms, bed only very small window with no view. The sitting area was ok. The bathroom had a huge jacuzzi (which we never used) and the smallest shower with not enough room to bend over. The bathroom window had the best view, we would have wanted to wake up with the same view from our bedroom, very disappointing.

Wow where do I start! I was here for a wedding and stayed a few days. Prior to arrival I had a terrible experience flying in due to cancelled flights and a 40hr delay. Plus the airline lost my luggage. Upon finally getting to Hotel Marincanto, I was greeted with open arms and the most sincere stay after a nightmare. They checked me in, gave me a welcome drink, snack, and upgraded my room. They even took care of locating my lost luggage and was able to get it in 2 days. They also took care of any accommodations and reservations with ease and were the most helpful. Dario really went above and beyond helping me locate my luggage and make sure my stay was perfect! The BEST experience I’ve had abroad thus far. Highly recommend this place. Also, they have a private beach so you do not need to fight for beach reservations and an amazing pool with a wonderful view.

We loved our stay at Hotel Marincanto!! The location was close to everything, easy walk to town and restaurants. But more than anything, the staff was excellent. The manager Paulo and the bartender Pietro made the stay amazing. Would stay there again because they were so excellent. Helpful in every way with recommendations for meals and excursions and quick to pour a drink when needed. Thank you!!
