What else can I say… if you come to Positano, this is THE place that worth a night or more! Breathless view fulfills all my imaginations about Summer In Italy. The lemon tree plus the breeze and blue sea and sky at this hotel is absolutely no beat. Great breakfast, awesome bar, lovely and clean room. What’s more, this hotel gets a crew of very friendly staff!

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!

Only real complaint was there strict no unregistered guests in the hotel room policy. We shouldn't be relegated to hanging out with friends only in the common area of the hotel. We booked a room with a jacuzzi and had 0 complaints. Staff promptly fixed the few issues that we encountered, the views were to die for and the AC worked great. If you have friends on vacation with you, and they aren't staying at this hotel, would recommend looking elsewhere though, this policy is infantalizing for travelers from the United States.

The view from the room was beautiful and the room and bathroom were spacious and clean and nicely decorated (a little bit dated but cute and kitchy). The terrace was huge and we enjoyed the included breakfast served on the terrace each morning. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is right on the main road heading into town and it has an elevator so no steps! The hotel also has a common area terrace with a hot tub. We were there in July and the heater in the hot tub was not on which made it actually refreshing. To get down to the port, you could wind your way down the street or you could take shortcuts on the numerous stairways throughout town. It probably takes about 15 minutes. You can also take the bus. But we actually rented a Vespa (from Pepe’s) and got around that way and the hotel let us park it in their small parking area for a small fee. I wouldn’t want to walk all the way back up from the port! This hotel is a great value. It doesn’t have the fancy lobby and it’s a bit further up the hill but we enjoyed it.
