Breakfast was great! Loved the warm pastries! The host was very nice to give us a ride into town as the bus was running very late. Location is nice because it's quieter since it is at the edge of town. Bus service is not very reliable.

Thomas

United States of America

Great value for the area. Nice to not be in the thick of the crowds. The room had a balcony that looked out at the mountains with lounge chairs and a cute table. They run an excellent restaurant and the pastries in the morning were fantastico! I didn’t get a chance to try it but the chocolate mousse was recommended by a local. They also gave me a bus ticket to get into town. Bus stops were really close. Super safe

The facility was beautiful, as was the view (mountain not water). Rooms are huge and so is the patio! Slippers provided. Best for those planning to stay on site, as it’s not accessible to venture into city centre without a vehicle.

The staff was very friendly and great. The food was delicious and well priced.

The family who runs the hotel is absolutely lovely and extremely helpful! Giuseppi really is as wonderful as all the reviews state. He helped us on multiple occasions and we provided his mobile phone to call him anytime for any info (which we did). His dad, mom and sister were all very kind also. The restaurant really is as good as the reviews state! Make a reservation as it sometimes fills up. Ask for pairing recommendations. The Arienzo beach was a piece of paradise. It was my favorite beach on entire coast. Definitely choose Arienzo over the closer smaller beach. But be prepared to walk on winding road, unpaved downhill, with limited signage, to find it. Take a water taxi back to center instead of walking up.

I would have preferred a continental breakfast that offered cooked food like eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc. But I was appreciative of what they had for us. Giuseppe was an incredible host and his family treated us like their own. If I'm ever back in Positano I will stay here again.

There's no elevator, but the staff took our bags up to our room after check-in, which was greatly appreciated.
We really got the family-owned vibe as soon as we entered the property (the father, daughter, son, grandmother, all were extremely friendly and welcoming!). The breakfast was amazing. Freshly made cappuccinos, pastries and hot cornetti (Italian croissants), it was all delicious! We even ate at this Michelin-guide restaurant for dinner one night and had a great meal (the ricotta cheesecake is so good!). The room itself was large and clean, and there's a terrace to look out on the mountain views. There was no air conditioning, but we didn't really need it anyway (early October).

Thank you to Giuseppe and family for a wonderful birthday stay. Check-in is seamless and we were given their biggest room for our stay. Amenities include breakfast (not continental although eggs/cheese can be added for an additional charge. Otherwise their homemade pastries are YUMMY), some toiletries, slippers, and turndown service daily. The mountain view is beautiful. I loved our huge terrace to wake up to everyday. At this time of the season we only needed the fan that was provided in the room. The SITA & local bus stops around the corner to the right if you want to go into the main center and when you come back it stops directly in front of the hotel. If you're feeling ambitious and fearless (bc the roads on the Amalfi Coast are pretty scary for us newbies & walking along inches to buses and cars), we did the walk down to the main center in 35+ minutes with plenty of views for photos! Otherwise it should be under 15 minute bus ride. We never rode the bus down to the city center (only rode it back at night). The famous Da Adolfo restaurant sits 400 steps below the hotel as well as Treville Beach Club. Both fantastic and away from crowds in the late September/early October season. When we mentioned we were staying at La Taverna, they all instantly mentioned how great the food and people are. If the locals like em, you know it must be good. I'd also like to mention the restaurant of the same name on the first floor. I came specifically for the incredible price point and their Michelin mentioned dining. The staff were informed of our celebrations and instantly knew who we were when we sat down and were constantly checking in on us. The service was incredible and food even more so. Get the cheesecake for dessert! If you come to Positano, please stay here and then have a high quality meal with friendly faces for an affordable price!

Breakfast starts at 9 so a little late if you get early starts but for the mornings I could do it it was great. No stores near by to buy water, but not that big of a deal.

“Beautiful accommodation and mountain view. No a/c. Good value if driving or staying in room.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 4 nights

No a/c in rooms! Breakfast starts too late at 9a earliest. Reception is not 24 hrs, I found it to open late (830a) and end early (12a). Location is only a 5 minute drive to the main centre, but it is a $25 cab ride to get there, or the buses end at 11p - walking wasn’t an option because the roads are so windy and there is no sidewalk, so it is too dangerous to walk on - only practical if you are driving/biking. Beautiful mountain view but no water view. Minimal toiletries provided.
The facility was beautiful, as was the view (mountain not water). Rooms are huge and so is the patio! Slippers provided. Best for those planning to stay on site, as it’s not accessible to venture into city centre without a vehicle.

Amazing living experience! Not far from Positano, very close to bus stop to the villages on Amalfi coast. The best is the good service and nice feelings from stuff and owner. Besides, the restaurant is very good too. We ate there everyday and found out it’s Michelin guide restaurant on the last day. Also, we enjoyed the big terrace a lot. Thanks owner Giuseppe for all the help and made our holiday better. I would highly recommend this hotel

Breakfast, consisting of croissants and tea/coffee was good but you have to pay extra for a la carte (eggs, fruit, muesli, etc.) You cannot walk into Positano but the transport links are good.
The staff were excellent and very accommodating. The manager drove us into Positano (about a mile away) and picked us up one evening, which was very kind. The bus also takes you to and from Positano, which is much cheaper than getting a taxi. The room was big and had a terrace/balcony overlooking the coastal road, with a view to the sea. The bathroom was very clean and had a good shower.

We loved our stay very much. If we had to be critical we would have liked air conditioning, a kettle/fridge and hair dryer. Apart from these items, we loved everything.
This is a fantastic family run restaurant and hotel. Giuseppe was extremely helpful on arrival and throughout our stay. He gave us maps and answered our many questions about the local area (buses, walks, food). The room was enormous and clean, and we loved the terrace. Even though the hotel is on the outskirts of Positano there are a few local beaches, restaurants and bus stops within a few minutes walk or drive. We ate at the restaurant 3 times and the service and food was outstanding every time. Giuseppe’s aunt Filomena did a cooking class at short notice for me and my husband and it was fantastic.

Welcoming family atmosphere, highly recommend eating at the restaurant downstairs for beautiful Italian food, breathtaking views with a large terrace to relax on! About a 40 minute walk into the centre of Positano but incredible views along the way which makes it worthwhile, would stay again!
