    “The location was absolutely spectacular! The views from the hotel and my room with terrace were something out of a fairly tale. The breakfast overlooking the water and city was dreamy, and the food very good!!! Everyone working there was extremely friendly and helpful! I was impressed with the bathroom towels and robes from ETRO, one of my favorite brands.”

  • Perfect hotel for a stay in Positano.

    “In a great location for the best views. Breakfast was plentiful and the service was great. We turned our room key into the front desk when we left for the day, which I thought was a bit strange. But to our surprise they turned down our bed and even folded my wife’s pajamas and laid on the end of the bed for her. More properties should provide this level of service.”
