We had a sea view room with balcony and it’s the best location and views! Location was perfect for us because we took the Ferry. This hotel is right next to the ferries and the beaches. The room was gorgeous and breakfast was great, they provide some hot and cold items. The views from the breakfast and business rooms are also awesome. The pool was perfect, it also has fantastic views and the service annd food was outstanding. We will definitely stay again when in Positano!

A wonderful experience staying in this amazing hotel. Great location with beautiful views and easy access to the pretty town of Positano. We did a cooking class with the excellent chef which we ready enjoyed and the food was delicious. All the staff were very helpful and so friendly especially Leonardo and Giuseppe. Our room had a stunning view from the terrace. Some may not like the busyness of the boats at the port but we were high enough not to be bothered by the sounds and at night with door and shutter closed you hear nothing. The pool and bar/restaurant on the roof were simply amazing- so relaxing, stunning views and excellent service.
Great experience

I recently stayed at a beautiful hotel in Positano and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The location could not have been better — perched in an ideal spot with breathtaking views of the sea and the colorful cliffside town. The room was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated to reflect the charm of the Amalfi Coast. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our stay special. From local tips to help with reservations, they went above and beyond. If you’re visiting Positano, this is the place to stay!

I was reluctant to book this hotel after reading reviews about the taxi dropoff, stairs & ferry noise, but ALL of the other hotels would’ve involved more stairs. This location was actually the easiest. We had two nights in a suite with sea view, on the 8th floor which was far enough away from the beach and ferry dock to minimize exposure to noise considering proximity. The service was excellent, room & bath spacious with a sofa, a large balcony & bathroom was big. Spectacular view! I did not use the shower because it’s a weird capsule enclosure but the jetted tub was divine after a long day of walking up and down Positano’s many stairs. This is not a town for the infirm. The bedding and pillows were good quality. I requested down pillows; they accommodated. Breakfast was excellent including a wide range of foods: fruits, pastries charcuterie, bacon and eggs, juices etc. We ordered omelettes from the waiter. The Gelateria downstairs is nice. We did not dine in the hotel restaurant. Catching the ferry was a breeze. My only complaint was that during the day, ferries coming and going meant we could hear boat engines and smell diesel but keeping the doors shut eliminated the issue. At night it was perfectly quiet.
A magical stay in Positano
