Pros:

La vista. La stanza era pulita e grande. Bello il balcone/terrazzo

Cons:

Il personale. Non sempre informato sui fatti: l’ultimo giorno sostenevano che non era stata pagata la stanza.

Stanza molto bella e accogliente ma sconsiglio la struttura per un breve soggiorno, in quanto troppo scomoda da raggiung
Pros:

Camera molto ampia e spaziosa, con un bel terrazzo privato affacciato sul mare

Cons:

Posizione impervia. Per raggiungere la struttura bisogna fare un’infinità di scale, impossibile con il bagaglio per cui, oltre al costo del soggiorno, occorre considerare il costo dei facchini del porto (15 euro a valigia, a tratta). Colazione molto modesta.

Awesome views!
Pros:

We booked this hotel for the view and we weren’t disappointed you walk around with a smile on your face it’s stunning!

You have a lovely terrace to soak up the views!

The staff are awesome very friendly they take care of you ! Breakfast on the lawn under the olive trees is a treat we loved it.

The room was basic but clean , the bed was comfy and the air conditioning was ace! Boy did we need it after walking up the steps from the beach with our back packs!

Positano is very hilly with steps so be warned take your time, there is a local bus but it’s usually full the timetable is on the front desk. We ended up walking down into the Center it takes about 15 minutes. You can get the local bus in the town for the ride back it’s a one way system apparently takes about 20 or so minutes.

We would stay again for sure ! 😊

A dream come true
Pros:

I think this is the most enjoyable hotel experience I have ever had in my life. Staff was excellent. Breakfast was DELICIOUS. Waking up each morning and having breakfast in the little garden overlooking the ocean was so incredible. Rooms were spacious. AC was incredible. Short walk to Fornillo beach which is where we spent our time. I wish I could live here. What a dream :)

Cons:

Stairs. Get ready for that walk! I am young and fit, and still failed to carry my heavy suitcase up the stairs and ended up needing to get a worker from the hotel to help (they were so helpful!). I recommend just getting the porter from the beginning even if you think you can handle it. The only reason we did not is because there was a storm when our ferry came in so the porters were nowhere to be seen haha!

Bueno!
Pros:

La vista es muy buena! Es muy espacioso!

Cons:

No es el más
Céntrico pero no está mal, te queda muy cerca de playa Fornillo. Bajas y subes muchos escalones para entrar y salir, tenlo en cuenta y más por el equipaje.

Pros:

The view from our balcony was the only good thing I can say about this place.

Cons:

There were ants on the floor but I guess the door to the balcony was only a few feet away and it’s the middle of the summer. The room was very large but it was old. The hosts were accommodating but did not speak very good english. The breakfast was not good.

Pros:

Beautiful views and lovely spacious rooms. Well located - popular restaurants and shops only a few minutes walk from the property. Staff were really friendly and helpful, they organised for a porter to bring our luggage up to the property for us.

Cons:

Only thing that we didn’t find great was the breakfast.
