The balcony/hot tub, actually an American king sized bed

Alyson United States of America

Everything, nothing to dislike. Excellent in every way. Staff was great.

Jeff United States of America

We splurged to stay here for a night and it was worth every penny! The view from our balcony was breathtaking. Be prepared to take lot's of photos!! Breakfast was better than expected, with plenty of small bites and a nice fridge with meats, cheeses, and yogurt. Plus, the view from the restaurant is worth it by itself!

John United States of America

The view alone makes this hotel worth it -- it was absolutely unforgettable. If you told me this was the best view in Positano I'd believe it. We sat on the terrace for hours just taking it in. Taking in the same view from out private hot tub was a perfect end to the day. The location is great, close to parking garages and close to the large tourist avenue down to the main beach. Breakfast in the attached restaurant is excellent, one of the best I've had at a hotel in Italy. There's plenty of options and variety. Get there early to enjoy your breakfast with a terrace view. The staff are friendly, helpful, and competent; and they get things done fast.

George United States of America

the best location, make sure to get a room with a sea view. breakfast was great with the best view. booked car service from the hotel from naples train station. rec walking over to fornillo beach - much nicer and quieter about a 10 minute walk (da ferdinando beach club 10/10 for food and chairs/umbrella)

Niki United States of America
