Great location, amazing views and wonderful staff.

Stephan United States of America

From the moment we booked until the time we left, the staff was very communicative. They offered suggestions on how to book tours and transportation. We stayed in the two bedroom apartment and felt like we had an entire retreat to ourselves. The balcony overlooked the water and wrapped around all the rooms of the apartment. Pictures do not do this property justice. It is even more incredible in person!

Holley United States of America

the view was amazing, it could not have been a better location

Sarah Ireland

The view was beyond beautiful. The rooms were spacious and so well appointed. The staff was exceptional especially Martina who helped us negotiate taxi drivers, covid tests, printed documents, references for great restaurants, etc. etc. Because of our stay at the Alcione, our trip ended on the highest of high notes.

Robert United States of America

Agnes was very helpful and one of the nicest Italians we met which is what saves this review. Many will just tell you tough luck. We had booked the Annex apartment, it was much too large for two people and down the street 200m+ from the main strip. She kindly cancelled the rest of our week since they didn't have any other rooms available. The apartment was very large and great for a group of people, had a nice kitchen and laundry. The hotel has a prime location and view. We wished we had been able to stay there

Samuel United States of America

Everything was excellent but the best thing was the view and the breakfast in the balcony. Felt like we were in paradise.

Fei Sweden

Breakfast was great and they allowed for customizations to your breakfast order. We were just a short 7 minute walk down to the beach. Very close to city center and restaurants. View was breathtaking of the town and ocean. Balcony breakfast was a definite must each day.

Chris United States of America

Alcione Residence is an amazing place to stay in Positano! Perfect location, incredible views and service. We were so happy we found this place and cannot recommend it enough!!

Kristin United States of America

Large suite with an enormous terrace and the best view in Positano. The breakfast in the room was very generous with setup with white table cloth really terrific. Agnes and Martina went out of their way to make our stay perfect
