Positano

"Terrible hike up many steps with luggage, expensive elevator fees which are basically required. Cleaning fee in cash only and not listed in the total All in all I would have preferred to pay more at a drive up hotel after factoring all the side fees needed each time to get to/fr this property. Living room needs more seating Sea facing bedroom missing a blind/shade so had to hang a towel Sea view is terrific and should be for how high we climbed"

Top Positano Hotel Reviews

Hotel Savoia

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Savoia. Excellent property at a great location providing excellent service. We had the room with a patio and hot tub looking at the twinkling lights on the hills of Positano. Well worth the money!"

Il San Pietro di Positano

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this experience made it our overall favorite hotel in the 30+ years that my husband and I have been traveling together. The property is extraordinary and the staff is above and beyond. The managers greet the guests and seem to make their rounds at breakfast and dinner to make sure everything is perfect. The food is spectacular and we really enjoyed the beautiful exercise facilities. An added bonus was the complimentary boat tour along the Amalfi coast with the option to jump in the water in Amalfi. The have this boat tour everyday except Sundays, I believe. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again someday!"

Positano Art Hotel Pasitea

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel offers modern eclectic decor. Very unique... Including multicolored lights in the bathroom shower area. Friendly staff and great restaurants that are walkable.. The hotel offered and organized a trip to a local restaurant high up in Positano called Da Costantino. Well worth the visit. Fantastic views. The tiramisu was really good. Great bar area which also offers a full buffet breakfast for €25/day. Alternatively, you can order off the à la carte menu, which includes omelettes, coffee, etc. The local bus service stops outside the hotel and transports you down into the town and back for a small fee….If you don’t want to walk the 1000 steps up to the hotel. Positano offers services to nearby Capri and Amalfi as well as from Naples, Sorrento and Solerno. Ferries are a great way to get around the Amalfi coast if you don’t want to tackle the roads which wind through the mountains with hair pin bends😳."
