Hotel berhampiran Art & Craft Gallery, Positano

There are some really wonderful things about this hotel but some improvements could be made to make the stay more comfortable. The good stuff - the views from the complimentary breakfast (and we had dinner at the restaurant too which I would recommend) are incredible. Check-in went smoothly and we were offered a welcome drink. Paolo at the front desk was incredibly helpful on several occasions - he spent extra time with us to help us navigate our way to the Path of the Gods hike and gave us some great recommendations for our trip to Amalfi/Ravello and for dinner in Positano. He definitely made us feel welcome. The beach club is one of the reasons we chose this hotel and it is very convenient to not to have to leave the property and make reservations/ pay for a beach club. Also, their chairs area is basically sharing space with one of the nicest beach clubs in Positano, so that is a plus. Be warned though that is about 250 steps down (and then of course back up) to the beach and not much they can do about that, but it can be quite exhausting even if you are in really good shape! The areas for improvement - our room did not get cool enough - the air struggled to get below 22.5 degrees, and our refrigerator did not work. We asked for ice a few times for our water/wine and it either took a really long time to come, or on one occasion was never delivered. The standard room was pretty small and there was no drawer space / shower was tiny and views minimal so I would probably upgrade next time. Lastly, we were only at the hotel for 2.5 days and had one afternoon planned to spend a decent amount of time at the beach club. We didn't learn until it was time to go down that the space had been rented out for a wedding and was not available that day. The pool guy told us when we were on our way down - no other notification prior to that. They did set us up with chairs/towel at the beach area on Spiagga Grande next to the hotel but there was no food/drink service available over there and it was inconvenient to say the least and not as nice as the hotel's space, so that was disappointing given we picked this hotel for their private beach.

We loved The Royal Hotel Positano. Situated on the side of a cliff, the views were nothing short of spectacular. The hotel was easy to find and onsite parking was a plus! They helped with getting our luggage from the car to our room and then back to our car, which was very nice, as it might have been challenging with the stairs. There were stairs to get to the main lobby from the parking area, but there are stairs EVERYWHERE in Positano. Our room was very clean. There was daily housekeeping. The bathroom was updated and had a rain shower head that was very nice. Having breakfast every morning included with the room, was a nice perk. The breakfast was a typical European style breakfast of meat, cheese, pastry, yogurt, coffee and juice. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

My wife and I were honeymooning along the Amalfi coast and after a few days of chaos in the well known villages and towns, we escaped to Casa Pendola for a few days peace and quiet. Perched on the hillside, we had a top floor room with balcony where in a morning the cockerels, birds, dogs and gentle hum of Bomerano could be heard. For us this was fabulous. Our room was tastefully decorated, exceptionally comfortable and very clean. The hostess (apologies but I couldn’t recall her name) was helpful and friendly throughout our 2 night stay. The pool is welcome on hot afternoons particularly after walking the path of the gods. And a short 1mile stroll takes you into the town below for dinner, drinks and supplies. All in all, a perfect stay, thank you!

Words can’t describe how amazing our experience was with hotel Mary. Vico Equense is the most beautiful place, and only 10 min train ride to Sorrento. If you’re looking for accommodation I would highly recommend staying here! The views from the hotel were amazing, clean and tidy rooms, infinitely pool stunning, huge breakfast served each day, and to top if off a private beach club all included in the price…. Like what?! Truly worth the money and would come back here in a heart beat. Staff were super friendly and recommended great restaurants. All round one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! Can’t wait to return.

How this hotel does not have 5 stars is beyond me. We reached out last minute after a terrible customer service experience at another hotel and Daniela, at the other end of the phone, was so incredible. Although there were no family rooms available they did have a brand new apartment close to the hotel free. We could avail ourselves of all the hotel's amenities (breakfast, pool, bar, etc.) throughout. The apartment was perfect, but what impressed me most was the the level of customer service. Everyone, from the team preparing for the weddings being hosted while we were there, to Elena and the team in the restaurant was attentive and warm. Thank you again Daniela, Maria, Marika and Elena for making our stay so memorable. You deserve that extra star...I'm sure it's on its way. Also, make sure you visit the Scavi di Stabbia and Pizzeria da Iolanda while you are in Gragnano.

We absolutely loved our stay at this family hotel. Our room was beautiful, spacious, well equipped and had a gorgeous terrace with a great view of Ravello. The service is amazing, the staff will do everything to make you feel at home. Luisa and Stefano were really kind and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with veggies from their own eco garden, we also loved their home baked sourdough bread and the possibility of complimentary room service so that we could enjoy our beautiful view. We've been in several hotels in Italy and this one was by far the best one (great value for money, excellent service - the hospitality was worthy of a 5 star hotel). Grazie mille, we are looking forward to come back!

For several years now, I have been spending my holidays in this enchanting place, nestled in a breathtaking natural setting that offers spectacular views and unparalleled tranquility. That being said, the true strength of this establishment is the staff, which sets it apart from the surrounding accommodations. From the moment of arrival to departure, the staff ( receptionists, bar and cleaning staff) is extremely friendly, attentive, and responsive to guests' needs. I would even say they make you feel like family. Their dedication and genuine desire to make the stay as comfortable as possible more than compensate for the structural shortcomings, which could benefit from some improvements to enhance the quality of life. Without the extraordinary and caring team that takes care of Gocce di Capri, the experience would be entirely different. Their warmth transforms an already beautiful place into one you wish to return to, stay at, and never leave.

May 13, 2023. In April, Judy and I visited Pompeii with another couple who are good friends and traveling companions, while visiting Italy, Switzerland and Sweden. Our group has considerable international travel experience and each of us really enjoyed Mirosa Bed and Breakfast; the people and accommodations were great. It was an excellent choice. Of note, during our stay issues arose with a booked tour and related timing and transportation issues. Owners Mirosa and husband Pasquale personally took control and, through considerable effort on their part, made it all work out. Amazing hospitality and warmth all around, including a wonderful visit with kind lady who served breakfast. Thanks! MD & Judy Dell’Osso Crockett, Texas USA
