1. Villa Anna with private Terrace and Sea View

Positano

"Terrible hike up many steps with luggage, expensive elevator fees which are basically required. Cleaning fee in cash only and not listed in the total All in all I would have preferred to pay more at a drive up hotel after factoring all the side fees needed each time to get to/fr this property. Living room needs more seating Sea facing bedroom missing a blind/shade so had to hang a towel Sea view is terrific and should be for how high we climbed"

"I travel a lot, and I can honestly say that the staff at this hotel—from the front office to the kitchen and every server—were absolutely phenomenal\. Everyone was kind, helpful, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for\. Whenever we had a question or needed assistance, they took the time to find the answer and help us in every way they could\. Their hospitality truly made our stay special\.

Miramare

10/10 Excellent

"Very good hotel. Great view from the balcony! Highly recommend."

Poseidon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible, one of a kind stay at the Poseidon! Not only is the hotel property itself amazing (pool, restaurant, bar, secret bar, balcony rooms, stunning views) AND the staff are the most helpful (booked dinner reservations, booked a hair appointment for my wife, predict all your needs), BUT ALSO the location might be the best in Positano. It is right on the main (only) road going down towards the beach so you have an easy, gradual walk past all the main shopping as well as right next to the main stairs for a fast-track to the beach. We will stay here everytime we go to Positano! Grazie mille!"

Marincanto

10/10 Excellent

"Use of the beach chairs and umbrellas made this an excellent choice! Great location. Wonderful breakfast on the terrace as well."

Hotel Montemare

10/10 Excellent

"I loved Hotel Montemare. We had a spacious room with a beautiful view and deck. On our deck we had a hot tub, lounge chairs and a patio table. We loved spending time outside on the deck enjoying the views. It did get noisy later at night because there was a hotel bar right above where we stayed. The staff was super friendly. Every spot in the hotel had beautiful views of Positano! We could walk about 350 stairs to the beach area of Positano, which was convenient (and a workout!). The breakfast was super delicious! Amazing location and wonderful experience overall."
