The floors are tiled in maiolica from Vietri and the decor includes period furniture belonging to the family, which gives the rooms a certain warmth.

The large terraces have chaise-longes allowing guests to relax with a book or drink, in the privacy of their own room.

“Positano's best accommodations”

We couldn't have been happier with our stay at the Hotel Poseidon in Positano. The perfect location--half way up the hill--provided spectacular views and an easy walk to the beach and dock. The staff was so helpful. They had ferry schedules, bus schedules, limo services at their fingertips. Plus they suggested walks and tours we could do ourselves. Great pool! And the breakfast buffet was to die for. Can't wait to go back.

Area recommendations
The area we stayed in was the best.
When to go
October--it's still warm and the crowds are gone.
What to pack
Casual and beach wear.

“Spectacular views and very friendly and helpful staff”

We loved the Posiedon. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious. The terraces had magnificent views down the Amalfi Coast and there are a number of real nice sitting areas inside the hotel, too. The breakfast buffet is real good and the staff, especially Angelo and Jessica, are wonderful. And this location is more quiet than some others because it's not too close to the area where the local buses pick up passengers and leave the town. We would definitely go back to Positano (a nice base for day trips around the coast) and would stay at the Posiedon again.

“Awesome Hotel”

Hotel location is on the upper part of Positano. If you are coming in on boats be prepared for a hike. def recommend arriving by car/taxi as you can pull right up to hotel with your luggages. Def get a room with balcony! I stayed on the 3rd floor and sat at my balcony for 3 hours just drinking and enjoying the view. Service at hotel is excellent. The complementry breakfast was awesome!

“LOVED IT!! GREAT VIEW & SERVICE!”

I was VERY happy with Hotel Poseidon. The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. We loved our room with the painted ceramic floor tiles and lovely terrace. We did this trip with another couple and had a great time. We stayed for 3 nights and found the location to be fine-we're all in our upper 20's and could handle the walk. It's about 330 steps down to the beach if you take the stairs or if you prefer a more leisurely walk, you can walk along the road and stop in all of the little shops and it's not too difficult. The meals were very good and the pizza in the afternoons from their wood-fired pizza oven (I HIGHLY recommend the White Pizza) was outstanding. My only negative would be that the pool was a little small and seemed to have a lot of rules but a lot of the hotels in Positano don't even have a pool. I would highly recommend the Poseidon for the value, service and beautiful view!! Daniella who works there was a wonderful hostess and was so friendly to speak with each day. LOVED IT!

“Poseidon Hotel”

Extremely satisfied, great food, service/people all the best. The only drawback is transportation to Positano. Public bus service is very bad. You have to wait in a big line forever and finally you end up paying a taxi a lot of money for a one way trip. Of course the hotel has nothing to do about it. The place is like heaven. Great place to relax. You feel safe in the area. There is a very limited parking space, so renting a car is not a good idea.

Area recommendations
The town is very small, so you can see every thing on a short stay. During summer you can go to Capri and other places around. We had a tour guide that oriented us about the town's history. You need your walking shoes. For people with physical impairments is not a good choice, unless you stay at the hotel most of time.

“Heaven on Earth”

Our stay at the Poseidon Hotel was a highlight on our recent travels through Italy. It is simply a gem of a hotel on the beyond beautiful Mediterranean coastline. All the staff were very helpful and extremely respectful. Our room was beautifully appointed with a large private balcony which offered spectacular views of the town from the cliffs to the sea. The upper floors of the hotel held the pool and the restaurant with its beautiful dining room and outdoor dining area. We thoroughly enjoyed taking breakfast on the restaurant's balcony while being shaded from the morning sun by a canopy of vines and flowers as we drank our cappuccino and drank in the view. We loved every minute.

“Delightful.”

Hotel is a 10 minute stroll to the town centre, and close to several decent restaurants, It's own restaurant is worth trying.The terrace where the excellent buffet breakfast is served has wonderful views of the sea and the town. Service from the friendly staff is good. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Area:

Positano, Italy: A desirably picturesque tourist haunt, Moorish-style houses cling to Positano’s steep hillsides. It’s a pleasant walk down to the small grey beach and fishing harbour via narrow, flower-decked alleyways and steps, but the return journey takes some effort (luckily there’s a bus). A domed church is Positano’s main landmark. The town celebrates the Feast of the Assumption on 15th August by re-enacting a famous victory against the Saracens.
