Everything went well until the property owner notified me that I left $600 cash when we checked out and contacted me about it and never followed up on returning the cash! Really terrible on her part.

Awesome hotel! Outstanding staff - truly outstanding. The breakfast was included and was great, but - and I'm not sure why - they elected to charge extra $$ for a handful of ala carte dishes. In any case, the free breakfast was a Top 3 location on our 2 week trip to Italy/Sicily. You definitely won't be disappointed. Also, the Hotel had a free wine-tasting each night from 5p - 7p. Again, this was terrific. No gym and no pool. Location is truly perfect to enjoy both the beach and city center areas. We really appreciated the new shower set-up in the updated rooms ;). Thank you again to all the staff at Montemare for a great 3 nights in Positano!

Perfection
I would 100% recommend Hotel Montemare. The staff are truly wonderful and go way out of their way to make sure you have a wonderful stay. Lattes to go, endless dinner reservation call shears for us, and little gifts on the door each night. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. We had a partial ocean view and it was perfect. The location is perfect. A 15-30 minute trek up the hill but ideal to be away from the cruise ship people traffic that’s closer to the shore. And all the great restaurants are here by the hotel. Our favorite restaurant for food, vibe and panoramic views though was the one right at the hotel rooftop. We loved our stay and I’m not a person to write reviews but we feel grateful for our time at Hotel Montemare.

Can I come back now?
This property was lovely. The customer service from first stepping foot in the hotel was so high touch. Reception walked us through a map, provided dinner recommendations and honestly just the water upon arrival when dripping in sweat is lovely. The views from this hotel are so beautiful and we loved having a balcony to enjoy. As two people, we felt there was a good amount of space in the room for us and our luggage and to move around. I wish we could have spent more time in this hotel. Staff were all amazing, thank you for a great stay!

They booked my beach club, they made my dinner reservations, they made sure I had a welcome drink. All wonderful things that made my stay amazing. I can't wait to come back!

I wouldn't advise anyone to choose this hotel. It's excessively expensive and falls short in terms of amenities and service. Despite paying $1500 per day, there's no operational bar for snacks or drinks. While they do offer daily wine tasting from 5-7, the quality of the wine is low, and they don't provide snacks to accompany it. Additionally, the hotel lacks room service and a spa. The only highlight is the complimentary breakfast, which is excellent. However, considering the high cost of $1500 per night, I had anticipated superior amenities and service. I would rate this hotel 5/10.

Dear Mrs Vigneswaran,Thank you very much for your review and especially for your valuable time.I am sorry that we did not live up to your expectations.However, I would just like to respond to you on a few points in your review:-You did not pay as you say euro 1500.00 per night , but less.-From 12.30 to 22.30 we have a small snack/room service available for our customers.- Our TIME TO WINE offers 3 types of quality, complimentary wines from our territory, accompanied by homemade crostini.- we have room service from 07.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m.- we definitely do not have a spa, and especially on our website and on the others we sell on, availability is never mentioned.We would have been happy during your stay to pick up on your discontent and figure out how we could help you, but unfortunately you never mentioned anything to us during the two days of your stay.I hope we can see you again at our hotel Cordially

From the arranged transfer from naples airport till the moment we left the staff here were wonderful and took care of any request we had! The room was spacious compared to other hotels in Positano and the breakfast buffet in the morning was perfect and convenient. Only downside was the far walk down to the main beach which is to be expected in Positano. Otherwise, we hope to be back!

Amazing for First timers. Seasoned Travelers Read
Rooms were basic, nothing over the top for the price.. Staff was very accommodating until day of departure. We were being rushed out due to a limo bus blocking the road. People screaming at us to leave now. We would have preferred assistance instead of demands. Breakfast was nice. Restaurant good, but over priced like many things in Positano, but know that coming in. Overall, I think this is a 3 Star Hotel in an extremely popular place. Most likely better then most, but level your expectations for this beach town.

Response from Hotel Montemare on 26 July 2023
Dear Mr. Steven, thanks a lot for taking your time to post a review on Expedia. I read carefully what you wrote and I just want to outline some situations: During your stay you asked for a taxi to reach Piazza Dei Mulini and we were more than happy to have organized for you the pick up at 10:15. We told you several times that the driver was waiting for you on the parking and that he couldn’t stay more there. Despite this, you went up on the parking with 30 minutes late. As concern the situation during the check out: You booked on your own a 20 seats bus to pick you up at 10:30. At 10:25 I called you in the room to ask you if you needed help with the bags and invited you to come quickly to the reception for the check out because the BUS could not stop along the road (it blocked the traffic). At 10:35 I called you again and another calling was at 10:40. You completely ignored what we were saying to you and you left the room around 11:00. I apologize if we seemed rude or impatient that morning. However, I wish to remind you that you were going on the parking without stopping at the reception to pay the bill. This is the reason why my collegue followed you on the street. I also would like to know the reason why you used the word 'screaming' when we were talking to you in a serene and calm way. Restaurant prices reflect the good quality of the food, the impeccable service and the amazing view of the terrace. Best Regards,Hotel Montemare

My partner and I were welcomed to this beautiful property by a lovely girl with all the information we needed during our stay. While we waited for our room we relaxed on the terrace with a delicious cocktail provided by the hostess. The room was impeccably clean and had an amazing view. Everyday we came back to a little gift from the hotel, from champagne to homemade cookies and candy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with lots of options and a nice touch with freshly squeezed OJ. There are a lot of options for accommodations in Positano. I think this was a perfect hotel with easy access to transportation, lots of dining options within walking distance, amazing views and outstanding staff.

Fantastic friendly staff, amazing views, beautiful clean rooms, shops & restaurants nearby. Walkable to Positano center & shore/ferry dock. HOWEVER, if traveling to or from with luggage I advise using porters at dock to deliver luggage but keep valuables in backpack on you. The trek by foot is steep either by road or stairs. There is no option at port for taxi or shuttle. Porters use small motorized carts. Other than that we loved the hotel and regret booking only one night. We opted for private van at departure to take us to Naples train station which was suggested by staff and well worth it. They made all arrangements for us!

A truly beautiful hotel. My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The views from the hotel were breathtaking, the food at Il Capitano was delicious. I would say though by far we were most impressed with the staff. The concierges all went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We truly loved our stay here and would stay again!

They will charge you €50 per hour (!!!) for a late check out even if you call in the morning and told them you’d be going on an excursion and asked to keep your bags until the evening. Scam. Terrible overrated buffet. Crawling with bugs, I was stung by a bee.
Response from Hotel Montemare on 4 May 2023
Dear Mr. Arash, thanks for taking your time to post this review after your stay at Hotel Montemare. It is right that this morning you called the reception desk to ask to store the bags for the afternoon. It is also true that the Concierge asked you to pay the bill before 11:00am and then she would have provided to store the luggage for you. I'm sorry but you left the hotel without paying the bill (before 11:00am) and without leaving the key of the room. Your room was occupied by the bags and we tried to call you several time to have your authorization to move the luggage in our storage, without any response. We would be happy to know what you didn't like from our Buffet Breakfast as we did not receive your feedback during the stay. Regarding the bite of a bee, you can clearly understand that it is not our fault. Bee, mosquitos etc are part of the nature and I do not think that a bee bite can be a relevant factor to review the hotel service. We hope you have a great day.

We had the absolute best time here! The staff is exceptional. Anna and Grazia as well as other staff members went above and beyond to make our stay here special. The hotel is beautiful and they put a lot of effort into doing the little things that count. The hotel is owned by 5 brothers and each brother works in a different area of the hotel and their children also work at the reception desk and other areas of the hotel. You can tell they put a lot of effort into making sure that their guests have a wonderful time. The breakfast is pretty good! We enjoyed how it was different each day. I recommend getting the suite that has the hot tub outside, ,it was amazing and the view was impecable. We will be back here for sure, I highly recommend staying here! Thank you everyone!
