Perfect!
Pros:

Prachtige grote kamer met ook nog een eigen terras, aan de tuin die uitkijkt over zee en over het stadje. Locatie is perfect voor het bekijken van het stadje.
Fantastisch ontbijt in de tuin!

Cons:

Bij de beschrijving staat niet dat ze een voorkeursparkeerplaats hebben. Het is een chaos wat betreft parkeerplaatsen in Positano dus dat zou iets beter aangegeven kunnen worden.

Privelistea si gazdele sunt minunate
Pros:

Gradina si terasa camerei cu priveliste spre mare, dar si spre coasta minunata. Micul dejun a fost perfect in cea mai placuta atmosfera.

Cons:

E dificil de gasit drumul corect spre locatie de la statia de autobuz. Sunt multe variante de scari si este usor sa te ratacesti ceea ce e dificil daca ai si bagaje.

Situation et vie exceptionnelle. Grande surface et grand confort.
Pros:

La situation, la vue exceptionnelle, le jardin ou prendre le petit déjeuner.
La taille du logement, la terrasse.
Le petit déjeuner est très bien.

Cons:

Nous sommes restés 2 nuits et la chambre n’a pas été faite durant notre séjour. Il n’y avait pas de bouteille d’eau à disposition dans la chambre.
Le prix de la chambre reste cependant un peu élevé.

Incredible on all fronts!
Pros:

The location is in the quieter area of Positano which is perfect if you want to stay away from the crowds. The garden is absolutely stunning and enjoying the delicious breakfast there every morning was hard to beat! There are a few friendly cats around that we loved playing with. The rooms are super spacious and the mini fridge was a great addition. It feels very safe.

Cons:

You could hear through the walls quite easily and there were a lot of steps to get to the property which makes carrying large suitcases difficult!

Beautiful breakfast with a view and memorable.
Pros:

The rooms on the first floor are beautiful, they have an amazing private garden balcony and views of the ocean, as well as a shared garden space. Having breakfast and just lounging out there was one of the best parts of our visit to Positano.

Cons:

The shower was a little funky, it’s a shower head overtop a big bathtub so it got water all over the place.

Great place, good value, would recommend
Pros:

The view and the room. Good value.

Cons:

Like many other properties in town, access is VERY HARD from the port and requires the suitcases carried up by porters. We didn’t understand how hard it would be (due to no fault of the hotel)

Personalized Positano perfection!
Pros:

The views are amazing, staff was very responsive and informative. The property owner greeted with us daily during breakfast.

En varaisi tätä hotellia toistamiseen.
Pros:

Aamiaisen paras puoli oli puutarha, jossa se tarjottiin.

Cons:

Huone oli ikävä, tahrainen peitto ja kurja wc tekivät olon epämukavaksi.

Pros:

It is best hotel in town. The rooms is gorgeous and pretty. It has one of the best views of the mountain and sea at the same time. The garden where you take your breakfast (which it is included) is marvelous. It is super beautiful and the views from it are the same. They serve to the table in breakfast or you can have a couple of beers. The staff was super helpful and they send me a lot of messages before check-in so look after my need into the town. Consider Positano is super hard to navigate and the staff sent me a step by step picture of the road to the Hotel.

Cons:

Nothing everything was great.
