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.

With that being said we are currently on day two of our Positano trip and enjoying the Eden Roc Hotel with a balcony suite overlooking the ocean. I can't give enough stars to the staff, the vibe and feel, the simple reserved romantic elegance of the entire property. The immaculate cleanliness of the room and coupled with the architecture is just enough not too much and each time we leave the property we are super happy just to return again to kick off our shoes and relax inside our quarters. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast.

Our room had a huge terrace with a private hot tub and gorgeous views of the coast. We even got to choose from a variety of pillow types to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The staff is phenomenal- so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They made us feel like royalty! While the hotel is beautiful, the staff is what really sets this place apart. Breakfast is complimentary and delicious, with a wide variety of both sweet and savory items. Their restaurant, Adamo ed Eva, is fantastic and is definitely worth a visit for lunch or dinner. The pool is a nice size but only has 8 lounge chairs and 3 umbrellas on the pool deck. There's more lounge chairs under the covered deck by the bar area. The main beach and beachfront shops, restaurants, etc. are a short walk away. Without a doubt we will be staying here during our next visit to Positano!

Upon check-in, we were incredibly surprised and delighted to receive a free upgrade to a Junior Suite. The room was absolutely stunning, perfectly blending classic Italian charm with modern comfort. The views from our private balcony were nothing short of spectacular--waking up to that panoramic, postcard-perfect view of Positano is a memory we will cherish forever. The service here is exceptionally warm and attentive. Every single staff member treated us like VIPs. We were blown away by the thoughtful touches, like returning to our room to find the complimentary fridge fully refilled and the flawless turn-down service already taken care of. It's that level of detail that sets this hotel apart. To top it all off, our dinner at the hotel was spectacular. Dining against the backdrop of Positano's twinkling lights while enjoying world-class cuisine and impeccable service was an absolute highlight of our trip. Breakfast included too!

Extremely unsettling experience at the restaurant…read more The most serious issue: our table being photographed by male staff members appeared to be happening and was witnessed by multiple women at our table. The bartender and a bald male staff member stood behind the white swinging bar doors across from us, laughing and repeatedly looking at a phone aimed in our direction. One of them then raised the phone over the doors. After the meal, I directly asked the bartender whether he had taken a picture of our table. Instead of answering clearly, he repeatedly appeared to deliberately misunderstand ("Oh, you want a picture?"), then became visibly nervous when I corrected him: "No, I mean earlier, behind the door." He laughed and claimed it was "a picture of the view." This made no sense. It was already dark outside, the restaurant lights were bright enough to reflect the interior onto the windows, and the bar area was positioned somewhat far from the windows. More than half of our table was women. It was deeply uncomfortable and, frankly, disturbing. There were other disappointments as well. Our party of six was informed only after being seated that we were required to order an exotic tasting menu rather than being allowed to choose individual dishes. A young female server with glasses was polite and genuinely helpful in trying to work with the chef so our table could agree on a single menu, and she was one of the few positives of the evening. Even so, the final bill exceeded €1,000 for food that was merely average. There was also a simple request to have something served on the side that wasn't, but that was just a small mistake. The restaurant itself is visually beautiful. However, what strongly appeared to be photographing guests, followed by an evasive response when questioned directly, crossed a line that no atmosphere or presentation can make up for. Privacy and professionalism should never be optional at that price point.

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.

Getting to the main shopping areas is easy, with not too many stairs. But if you're looking for some higher views, it's a bit of a walk. If you're planning to pick up someone, the carport is about a seven-minute walk away. Also, the hotel has a great relationship with the luggage porters and service staff. What makes this hotel special is that it's built into a cave! You'll find the restaurant on the water's edge, and the rooms are tucked away along the back. Plus, there are elevators, which is a big help for anyone who needs a little extra support or has mobility challenges. The service here is top-notch! They were so attentive to our needs, knew who we were for the week, and made sure everything was perfect. Just a heads-up, room service is a bit later in the day. They also come around in the late afternoon to bring towels. Overall, the rooms are pretty quiet, especially next to each other. I really loved this location because it's so easy to get to the ferry every day and you can grab a cabana nearby. If you're planning to do a lot of touring, they meet near the hotel, which is great because you can take a quick walk back instead of climbing up hills to another hotel or restaurant. I think there are some trade-offs, but this hotel was definitely worth it for two people! I highly recommend staying here!

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.
