Dash was an excellent server and very attentive. The snacks they gave with our cocktails were also delicious. The cocktails were good. Of note, in Italy, cocktails are just basic mixed drinks but they were still well made and tasted delicious so that's what matters. They also had an extensive cocktail list which was nice as most of the Amalfi Coast doesn't have an extensive cocktail list. The view here is gorgeous. It is a really nice romantic place or also just a place to watch the sky change colors as the sun goes down. It's a phenomenal view.

Service was top notch, the owners constantly said hi to every single one of their guests and everything was ...just magnificent. We got a free upgrade the first night to a suite, beautiful balcony views and large room! They moved our luggage the following night to our reserved room and I loved our view there as well. We dined at Il Tridente the first night and food was superb! Make sure you try their deliza limone! I will never forget my days here and Hotel Poseidon topped it off with a relaxing, beautiful and comfortable stay. They made us feel like family :)

The food is pricey but delicious and super fresh! The facility is so relaxing and well equipped for unwinding and rejuvenation. I would love to come back here in the future when we come back to Southern Italy.

Villa Magia has by far been one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had in my life…read more When you first arrive, you are greeted by porters to help you with your luggage. This is a nice feature for any hotel, but in Positano it is an absolute life saver! The nearest street is a few flights up from the hotel entrance, so carrying heavy luggage down can be quite precarious. However, they have trained professionals ready and eager to help! I was amazed when they scooped up more luggage than I could carry alone over flat ground and easily traversed the steps to lead us to the hotel. Your first glimpse of Villa Magia is breathtaking. As you walk onto their courtyard, there are two beautiful trees and a flowerbed that overlook the cliff and the beachside of the city. Walking deeper in, you are met with a gorgeous terrace lined with vines and plenty of seating that overlooks the coast. It feels like walking into a postcard! This leads to the outer dining area for Luna, the hotel restaurant. Definitely try to eat here if it fits your schedule! The food is amazing, and the head waiter, Salvatore (Sal), was a joy to interact with. He will make wonderful suggestions and make you feel right at home. The staff at the front desk, just inside past the terrace, are also fantastic. They ameliorated every aspect of our stay, including providing us with an iPhone and messaging system via WhatsApp for 24-hour assistance. We worked primarily with Jada, who was amazing and so welcoming. When she found out we were planning a day trip to Capri, she not only reserved our tickets for us (which we found out later sold out, so we were lucky she had!), but also gave us her personal recommendations as she used to be a skipper for one of the boats. Our room was beautiful, spacious, and had absolutely amazing views. There were high ceilings and even built-in sauna! Our favorite parts were the sun room and the balcony garden. Every morning they would deliver breakfast to our room (which we had pre-selected the night before and sent via WhatsApp), and they would set it up wherever we liked. Our entire stay the staff made us feel like both family and royalty all at once. I absolutely cannot recommend Villa Magia enough. Hurry to make your reservation, because there are only 12 rooms on property! A one-of-a-kind experience that is sure to enhance your visit in beautiful Positano.

Albergo Miramare will hands down be our go to hotel in Positano. My husband and I both agree the…read morelocation of Albergo Miramare is ideal when traveling to Positano. It is located in the middle so you walk down a few flights of stairs from the main road or down several flights to the beach depending on where you are going. Whether you are going up to the main road for dinner or down to the dock for a boat tour, you minimize climbing stairs with this prime location. Don't get me wrong there are stairs on all paths but we found our hotel to be in the best possible spot as opposed to being located at the top of the mountain creating a long climb home each day or at the bottom where you would have a long climb up each day. Beyond the ideal location, here are the other reasons my family will look no further for hotel accommodations when traveling to Positano. Staff: The staff were so easy to communicate with from the very beginning. After booking our apartment for the week, my husband's work conference dates changed in Sicily. I emailed the staff at Albergo Miramare and within hours they adjusted our dates with no issues. Danielle and Nicola were incredible with arranging transfers to and from the airport for my family. They assisted us in chartering a private boat to Capri which was our favorite day of the trip. Every staff member we encountered from reception, porter service , housekeeping and restaurant staff were all friendly and professional. Room: We booked the apartment for our family of four. Our apartment was located across the steps from the reception office and only a few steps up from the hotel restaurant. The apartment had two bedrooms, two full baths, two closets, a small lounge area in the master bedroom and a full living area between the two bedrooms and hallway connecting the two bedrooms. The apartment was spacious and having the full living area was a nice feature when taking breaks from the heat during the day. The air conditioning was of US standard as it really cooled the entire apartment unlike many other air conditioning units we have experienced in our travels abroad. The beds and pillows were soft and comfortable which made for a good nights sleep. Housekeeping changed sheets and replaced towels daily. The private balcony was the icing on the cake for us. It was spacious with two tables for enjoying dinner and four lounge chairs for resting and enjoying the views. The view was so picturesque from our private balcony. Restaurant: The breakfast included in our room rate was served daily from 7:30-10:30 in La Scalinatella. The restaurant was just beautiful with a paper tree draping from the ceiling and walls. The views from the restaurant are the best you will find in Positano. Each morning there was a diverse buffet served with fresh fruit, cooked vegetables, cheese selections, sliced meat selections, eggs (boiled, scrambled and fried), bacon, sausage and hash browns. Each day they offered different sweet options such as a lemon cake, ricotta torte, pancakes and chocolate cake. Once seated you were also served a selection of crossaints. Between the beautiful setting and the nice selection of breakfast options it was a delightful way to begin your day. Be sure to request the hotel's porter service upon your arrival and your departure as they will meet you at the road to carry down your luggage. Should you have an early morning departure they will carry up your luggage the night before and lock it in their storage unit to prevent you from carrying it up yourself upon your departure. Be sure to arrange this valuable service. If you are looking to book your stay in Positano then look no further as Albergo Miramare is such a gem.

Everyone at the front desk was so nice and helpful with our check-in and check-out. They really went above and beyond for us. We were surprised with a bottle of prosecco to start our honeymoon stay with them, and were given a lovely painting of the hotel view on our last evening. They even set up a private car to pick us up at the train station and return us back to Naples after our stay here. The men that helped with our luggage we really appreciate - I can't imagine doing that job all day with the steps in Positano. The cleaning team were great too and cleaned our room each time we left. The view from the room is jaw dropping. And having the pool to use at the luxurious sister hotel, a 10 minute walk away, was also amazing and a great plus. My only complaint is that the breakfast (eggs and meat) was cold. Overall I'll be definitely recommend Hotel Miramare to friends as this will be a lifelong memory.

Had an incredible stay at Hotel Pasitea!…read more Location-wise, I really enjoyed being higher up the hill despite the treks down to the beach. First two days, we took stairs up and down, everywhere we went (according to my health app, one day we did 82 floors...) and that was killer. Definitely helps going around on the road and avoiding those demon stone stairs. Our room was high up on the third floor with an awesome jetted tub to soak our sore feet and legs at the end of each day. The bed is in the firmer side but still comfy. Also appreciate that they provide lots of pillows and blankets. The balcony is wonderful! Two beach chairs and a table with two seats are perfect for soaking in the fresh air and breathtaking views. Housekeeping and the staff are great! We didn't get room service during our stay but the housekeeper still handed us fresh towels and tp rolls (they're super thin) on our way to our room. Spidey senses are sharp! Also, there's no iron in the room do you just need to call and request. Highly recommend!!!

The location is pretty good as it is semi close to the Sita bus stop !!!…read more How to get here : you have to go down the hill and take the middle path down a couple of flights of stairs to get to the road you are supposed to be on !!! Once you are in front of villa Franca hotel at the end of the stairs make a right and it's about a two to three minute walk on your right ) . It took me like 40min to try and find this place as google maps doesn't work well in Italy I've discovered !! For what I paid I couldn't have been happier . I stayed here Thanksgiving Day . It was off season so I got a good deal on a room . For a memorable experience I suggest you book a room with a terrace and spa tub and keep your expectations to a minimum as again this is Europe so the ratings ( e.g 3 star ) are different . I think this is supposed to be a 4 star hotel which I know translates to a 3 star in America which makes sense given the price point . The only fault of this place is really the condition of the rooms which again is reflected in the price point . Expect some broken items or perhaps markings on the wall or stuffing coming out of the couch . lol Also walls were semi thin . I heard my neighbors having sex at 2am . Seeing them in the cafe downstairs at breakfast was fun the next day I tell you . That being sad the complimentary breakfast was good enough !!!

How fitting it was when I got to stay here for a few days during my cousin's writer's workshop back…read morein March. I love how they continue to support writers. This was the workshop's 15th year. John Steinbeck once stayed here and wrote, "Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone." It really is a breathtaking, magical city that I was fortunate to visit. What makes it even more amazing is that it is owned by the Sersale family from Naples who have opened up their summer vacation home and turned it into a lovely hotel in 1951. They had purchased the adjacent building next door to expand. This hotel was also once a US Army rest resort. It is still a family operated hotel with some staff. Antonio, the co-owner and general manager was at the writer's workshop dinner, and his wife Carla does the gardening throughout and designs for the Emporio Sirenuse boutique store across the street. Famous celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Kylie Jenner have also stayed here. The rooms are a good size. We had a marble bathroom with huge bathtub and a small patio seating that had wooden lattice windows that opened to the pool/terrace overlooking the beach. I'm shocked about a Dyson hair dryer in its own box. The turn down service was so great. They laid out my sleep clothes, a small towel on the floor near the bed, slippers, a Baci chocolate (my fave), bottled water, turned down the lights and put music on the TV, and gave a card with the weather report for the next day. It was helpful! Positano was chilly and sometimes rainy mid March. Antonio, not the co-owner though same first name, was at the front and greeted us when we transferred from our AirBNB. He was the sweetest and helpful when I inquired about a tour to Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius. Even when I left before the writer's workshop ended, he said I should stay. I really wished I could! I had already taken 3 days post spring break from work since I had been to Germany and was headed to London before going home. The spa was open to the writers and their +1s. After hiking Mt. Vesuvius, I got to sit and relax my muscles in the sauna, ice room, and did 2 dips in the cold plunge pool. The snacks and tea were great. I loved that there was a shower with Aveda products. The gym was also on the same floor. La Sponda restaurant at the hotel terrace area is a Michelin star. They're usually open for dinner, but they were closed because it was still considered winter and not open until the end of March or beginning April during peak season. We were fortunate to enjoy a cocktail hour prior to dinner at La Sponda specifically for the writer's workshop. They also served a buffet breakfast plus a la carte entrees for 2 days. I missed one day since I had my tour of Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius in Naples and left early am before breakfast. I did take advantage the second day! Btw, you can also order in room service. I loved everything at Le Sirenuse from all the plants and flowers to the detailed decor, epic views, delicious food and friendly staff. This was a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget.

BdB is all of these things and more. BdB is located towards the bottom of the mountain by the beach. This is the best location because you still get an incredible view, but you're close to the beach and waterfront so you only have to hike the Positano stairs if you feel like it (the stairs are KILLER in the heat, so keep this in mind!) Our room was really spacious, nicely decorated, with THE most incredible view of Positano you can get. The beds were on the older side but not uncomfortable. The real gem of this restaurant is the breakfast. Fresh amalfi fruit (watermelon, apricots, cherries), eggs, sausage/bacon, freshly baked pastries, heirloom tomatoes with balls of freshly pulled mozzarella, plus incredibly kind servers who will make a cafe freddo of your dreams. **Buca do Bacco is located on a walking path. Make sure to get in touch with the hotel to confirm details on how the porter service works. You will not want to carry your bags up and down the mountain in the heat on your glam amalfi vacation (and it's SO worth it at 8€ per bag.)

A decision to stay 3 nights at Hotel Reginella (room #29) on a recent visit to Positano proved to…read morebe a good one. Though I imagine one can choose much fancier properties this hotel was, for me, pretty perfect, meeting my requirements in every way. Booking.com describes Hotel Reginella as a 3-star property and more than 350 guests have rated the place 9.3 on a 10-point scale. These things factored into my decision to book my stay at Hotel Reginella but so did the photos and the stated distance (about 3/4 mile) from Spiaggia Grande, Positano's main beach. For about $355USD/night in May (breakfast included), you will find that Hotel Reginella: * is immaculate and charming; * has nice water views from the rooms; * features good AC; * staffs with extremely competent employees happy to give good restaurant recommendations, secure dinner reservations, schedule luggage porter service, and provide very helpful information for getting to the Path of the Gods; and * provides a wonderful in-room breakfast - delivered on your schedule - featuring your choice of protein, fruit, juices, breads, coffee, and sweets. Hotel Reginella sits among shops and restaurants and other hotels, on a road that's only minutes, by foot, from Poistano's main shopping area. Though the main beach is easily reached from this road, once you become a bit more comfortable, the stairs up and down (400+) are a more traditional way to get between locations. After the first night the stairs down were my route of choice. I remain 100% happy with my decision to book 3 nights at Positano's Hotel Reginella.

Love this hotel!…read more I'm in love with Positano and in love with the Reginella. Positano can be difficult to navigate when you first arrive if you are not familiar with it. If you take the ferry in there are porters who can bring your bags up not affiliated with the hotel. The hotel offers an affordable transportation option to be picked up or dropped off at the Naples airport. Taking the stairs up or down is the fastest way to get to the beach or center but is a little bit of exercise. However being a few levels up provides incredible views and puts you much closer to a lot of great restaurants including my favorite Da Vincenzo. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and attentive. They all go out of their way to help you and do it with a smile and professionalism that is as good as it gets. They all felt like friends by the end of my stay. The room was exceptionally clean and we had an amazing partial view of the town. Breakfast is available on the first floor with excellent coffee. The staff made terrific recommendations to us while we were there for restaurants, the beach and getting around. I can't wait to go back to Positano and the Reginella.

He truly made our time here unequivocally special and honestly just made us feel so welcomed. I will never forget when the hotel had live music on Wednesday night and he danced with my mom. The environment he cultivates for his guests is unlike no other. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the wonderful bar team too. All of the boys were so kind to me, they made me feel like royalty. Needless to say I was blown away by all of the wonderful people working here. The beauty. The hotel is showered in beautiful pink flowers and gardens that are impossible to ignore. To say the views are spectacular would be an extreme understatement. I don't have the words to fully convey how truly magnificent this hotel is. I already miss it greatly and it's only been one month.
