Everything was satisfactory at this hotel. The trick is understanding the dynamics of stairs vs locations in Positano. The loop from the hotel to the Fornillo beach (400+ stairs from our room) and back up through town on the road was an adventure the first time and became enjoyable each time thereafter. Fantastic restaurants nearby where we really experienced Italian ‘culture’

We wanted for nothing and if we did need something, they were right there to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend staying here. I’ll be back!!

We had the two bedroom with Terrace. The terrace ended up being shared as opposed to exclusive. Also, the two bedroom was just one big bedroom with a queen size bed on one end and two single beds on the other. There was no separate room with a door for the second bedroom. We got used to all of the above and everything else was amazing but it is worth noting. The terraces were not crowded so we never had any problems with using the one right outside of our door. The breakfast was really good each morning too. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. We had a wonderful time!

LOVED this hotel but too many steps!

Room was very clean and comfortable, air-conditioned and more spacious than most in Italy, good shower and amenities. Patio outside with partial view of water. Excellent breakfast with incredible views. ALL staff was professional, courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. Close to shops and restaurants but if you take the stairs down to the beach (you don't have to, but much shorter), it's a hike and all steps. The room in the Annex was difficult with the stairs, even to get back up to the the reception area. The worst part was carrying luggage down (LOTS OF) steps to hotel but especially to room. Hired porter to come get them and take them to the port on day of departure. Well worth the 15 euro. Unless you're in great physical shape and enjoy a hike, be sure you do not have an Annex room, IF they can guarantee it. There is a small church smack in the middle of the complex that opened Saturday night for mass. The scenery/views down the steps to Fornillo beach were captivating. I would DEFINITELY return as long as I knew we weren't in an Annex room. Although a bit more spacious, it was difficult for me with back issues.

Solid little hotel with all the basics and great location to some of the best restaurants in town. But that’s why it gets 4 stars - it was simple and nothing that impressive. The staff was great and the breakfast filled us up, but our room felt pretty tucked away and hidden below the buildings.

The views are beautiful, the staff are amazingly kind and helpful, breakfast was a good variety of continental style and the beds/pillows were very comfortable. All my “must haves” checked.
The rooms are quaint and not fancy. They are very clean and all your basic needs are covered. Just not fancy and our bathroom was very small. It had a beautiful patio with gardens but the furniture on the patio isn’t very comfortable.
It’s close to the Positano local bus stop and good variety of restaurants (by close I mean 131 steps) and shops.
The walk down to the beach/city center is pretty easy. For the walk up I’d suggest the bus. You can pay $10 per bag for someone to take your bags to or from the room. I highly recommend this!
Just be prepared for steps. A LOT OF STEPS. Positano is on a steep hillside and everything you do requires steps.

Property is conveniently located around restaurants in the village of Positano. Beach is like 10 minutes away. With that said, be prepared to walk and climb stairs. The room that we got was a bit far from the reception so you have to walk the stairs down with luggage. The lady at the reception helped us with one of the bag. So make sure to pack light and only bring luggage that you need for this stay and may be keep the rest in the car if it’s an option. Parking is available nearby at Carpineto which is 4-5 mins walk with stairs

Things to note about the property, which are probably common to most of the hotels in Positano:
1) Parking is expensive
2) There are a lot of steps everywhere. Do not go unless you are prepared for them.
3) They also will charge to carry your bags to and from your rooms. We were quoted 10 euros, but I negotiated down to 5.

Otherwise, everything was great.

The property is kept up nicely and the rooms are very clean. The pictures are accurate. The location is nice for those who want a more peaceful atmosphere. With that said it's a bit out of the way from restaurants and shopping. Most of Positano is walking and climbing stairs but just know that this hotel requires even more due to its location. Overall, I thought the hotel was great, the staff is very friendly, and it is a great value. However, if you are looking to be closer to the main part of Positano for a more lively atmosphere this may not be a good option.

Fantastic!

Positano is one very expensive place to stay at especially if you’re staying downtown. This hotel is quite a little surprise and it’s only a 11 minute walk from downtown just don’t do the stairs at the base of the mountain to get there as that’s like going to Hell and back physically. The hotel was a great surprise. The beds are a little dated, the same with the rooms, but it really doesn’t matter when you open the doors out to the balcony and look out to the sea. The hotel rooms were fantastic with their Positano charm floors and decor. The bathroom is a little small, but that’s like being in Italy as a whole . The breakfast was fantastic. The customer service was really fantastic. Jessica really is an amazing person who helped out in every which way when we had a problem or needed a reservation. This by no means is a place like The Four Seasons, but for the money and location, it offers a great amount for its visitors. The customer service really blew me away here, and that within itself deserves five stars. Everybody walks in Positano and it really isn’t that bad of a walk when you’re going down to Chez black restaurant or downtown plus walking down the hill there’s a variety of shops to stop by to the same with fantastic restaurants across the street and gelato around the corner. Don’t get diverted by the hotel online ratings. If you’re looking for a small old world charm Positano classic stay and here not ata big hotel, this is the place to go too.
Highly recommended!
