- "This hotel exceeds expectations. From the kind and informative staff to the phenomenal food and gorgeous views you cannot go wrong by booking this hotel. The actual hotel is gorgeous, the views spectacular. I was worried because I knew the hotel isn’t in Positano center, but ended up being a blessing. They will drive you to the center, the ride takes 3 minutes, when you call to have them pick you up they arrive in 5 minutes or less and the best part is you get away from the crowds of the main town to an oasis on the cliffs of the Amalfi coast. Couldn’t recommend more, felt lucky to have had the opportunity to stay here!!"

The gorgeous room with high ceilings, the welcome champagne, the cocktails enjoyed with live music, and the lovely breakfast—all exceeded my expectations. When my husband asked the manager about running routes, he kindly provided detailed information, and later even looked at the photos he had taken upon his return. Thanks to this hotel, all my memories of Positano are filled with happiness."
