Peaceful with a stunning view!
Pros:

The view and the room were spectacular! The location was wonderfully close to shops and anything we wanted! We loved the patio and sun room as well!

Cons:

No coffee creamer in the room. When we asked for a banana as they were setting up breakfast and we were walking out for a tour, they would not give us one. Seemed like a simple request as we were guests of the hotel.

Wonderful stay, Would absolutely recommend!!
Pros:

The location of L’Ancora was a dream! Couldn’t have asked for better location and view. Staff was so friendly, breakfast was lovely, view was amazing and we’d absolutely recommend to others. The room size was so much bigger than we thought it would be. Amenities were wonderful and staff was extremely attentive. We stayed at 5 properties on this trip and I must say the shower head and strength of water was incredible at this property. 10/10

Cons:

Can’t say we’d change a thing!

Maravilhoso em todos os aspectos!
Pros:

The hotel is simply fantastic. The location is perfect, and the staff is extremely attentive. I spent four wonderful nights there. My room was very spacious, with a stunning view of the beach. It’s close to one of the stairways down and near all the main points of interest.

Vistas elegancia y atención maravillosa
Pros:

Todo es maravilloso nuestra quinta vez allí las vistas son de las mejores de Positano el hotel está renovado cuidado precisas habitaciones y el personal es muy atento. El lugar es elegante y a un precio correcto para lo que ofrece. Glamour y elegancia en Positano sin que el precio sea desorbitado. Y sobre todo es un lugar cuidado que se preocupa por ofrecer lo mejor a sus clientes año tras año. Felicidades. Es uno de los hoteles que refleja la hospitalidad, elegancia y glamour de un destino maravilloso como Positano que repito desde hace muchos años.

Cons:

Hay poco que mejorar este año estaba cerrada la sala de desayunos pero es mucho mejor desayunar en la habitación con esas vistas

We loved it!
Pros:

The location was a quick walk from the ferry and central to restaurants and shopping. The view from our balcony was absolutely STUNNING! We enjoyed the fantastic selection of the included breakfast on the balcony daily. The hotel staff, from the front desk to room service and those preparing the delicious food were exceptional. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and Hotel L’ Ancora was the perfect spot. Thank you so much for a magnificent stay!

Perfect location and amazing hotel
Pros:

Amazing location and amazing room with breakfast served in our rooms every morning.
Staff were very lovely and helpful when we needed a taxi or any information.
Our room was very spacious and a large bathroom which makes getting ready for the day very easy.

Cons:

We were told that we had pool access at their sister hotel - then found that is was €80 a head for the day, we opted for a beach club instead.
