Un aperitivo al tramonto che porteremo nel cuore
Pros:

Il nostro weekend all’Hotel Marulivo è stato incantevole. I proprietari e lo staff hanno reso il mio compleanno speciale e indimenticabile, con una dolcezza e delle attenzioni che porterò nel cuore... La location, speechless, è stata la cornice perfetta per la nostra fuga d’amore. Torneremo con piacere per rivivere la stessa magia… ♥️

A delight
Pros:

Pisciotta is the most charming of Italian hill villages and the Hotel Marulivo is the most delightful part of that charm. Beautiful rooms in a cleverly restored convent combine ancient and modern design. Wonderful views over the Mediterranean, sweet terraces and gardens all brought together by Lea and Massimo's accomplished hospitality.

Wunderbarer 3 Tagesaufenthalt bei perfekten Gastgebern in einem sehr geschmackvoll geführten Hotel
Pros:

Die Hotelterrasse ist ein Traum. Sie wird für das Frühstück genutzt und ist unbedingt für den Sonnenuntergang zu empfehlen. Das Frühstück ist super - auf Wünsche wird eingegangen - vegane Optionen sind kein Problem.
Die Gastgeber, Lea und Massimo sind überaus zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit.
Lea kann detaillierte Beschreibungen für Unternehmungen geben und Massiomo serviert perfekte Drinks auf der Terrasse bei schön ausgewählter Musik.

Cons:

Es gibt hier nichts zu bemängeln bzw. zu verbessern - einfach perfekt.

Quiet views of the sea
Pros:

Spectacular views from sunset / breakfast terrace, welcoming and helpful proprietors, quiet town. Room was immaculate.

Cons:

Could have had a little more protein (eggs) or other savory for breakfast; for me too much sweet, but that’s pretty typical in Italy. A lovely hotel.

Nice place, nicer views, we recommend it!
Pros:

We received an upgrade (room with ocean view) on our booking, what we really liked and was a very nice suprise. The hosts helped us with everything, recommendations as well as with bringing our bags to the place, which was fantastic! Breakfast was amazing, with a lot of different options to chose from. Wow! You can enjoy a wonderful sunset from the terrace while drinking a nice drink (f.ex. un aperol spritz), a must do!

Cons:

The ceilings were a little dusty, which was a bit unpleasant because I amm allergic to it. But it was not a big deal.

Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.
Pros:

La tranquillità del posto e l'accoglienza ricevuta. La signora Lea è molto gentile.
La stanza , sebbene piccola, arredata con gusto.e pulita.
I ristoranti del posto, davvero buoni.

Cons:

Abbiamo alloggiato in una depandance, non nel corpo centrale dell'hotel. Bagno, cucinino e stanza erano su tre livelli, con scalini molto alti, essendo una casa in un borgo medievale.
Un po' scomodo, andava specificato nelle caratteristiche della stanza.
Di sicuro non rispecchia la valutazione di 9.6, dichiarata da booking. Io darei come voto 8.
