Hotel berhampiran D'Anna Positano, 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.

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.

The Hosts make your stay a lovely time. Signor Beppe makes sure you have an easy holiday. His advice is honest and caring. The views you can see in the gallery are truly breath-taking and you are one hour away from all the major places such as Amalfi, Positano, Minori and Sorrento. We swam in the four different beaches and had lunch there too. Even the village itself is lively for evenings out when you wish to stay around. That is why we chose to stay there. We have plans to return so as to visit even more sites. For instance the Ercolano is on the way to the airport and is well worth the visit - so next time we shall visit Pompeii. Vesuvius is also an hour away and we bought excellent Buffalo milk Limoncello there, a novelty to us. And what about Ravello, what a sweet town with winding narrow streets opening onto a lovely tree-shaded Piazza Centrale and the Duomo. And a day in Capri with a lovely boat ride from Amalfi as advised by Signor Beppe. We take this opportunity to thank the whole family. Please take their advice and phone ahead if you have difficulties for your best choices or itinerary. And please slow down to enjoy the Tyrrhenian Sea and its rhythms, soak in the culture and smell the wine and the roses.

We had a very good experience with this hotel. Situated across the beach, near to the bus station and close to the railway station, the hotel has big, spacious rooms, with all the ammenities needed. The breakfast was great, with a lot of choices, and mostly, the breakfast room was a rooftop with such an amazing view over the sea and vezuvius. Everything was perfect

Myself and my boyfriend stayed at Hotel Residence for 10 days and we would definitely come back if we are ever traveling to the Amalfi coast again. Room - The room was great, however, this is the only area where, if I would ask for anything to be improved, it would be this. When we first checked in we were given the wrong room as we requested a room with a bath tub. This was a honest mistake by the staff and we were given the room we asked for the next day. However, the air con system was broken in the room. We complained about this and was assured a maintenance man would be sent to fix it the following day. In the meantime we were given another room for the night which had air con. When the air con was fixed in our original room it then broke again which meant the hotel provided us with fans and replaced the whole unit itself. Once this was done it worked perfectly, but obviously the constant moving about and heat was a little frustrating. The hotel compensated us for this inconvenience and we were very grateful for their generosity. The room itself was beautiful. The bath tub with jets was great but very powerful! The curtains completely blocked out any sun and the room was cleaned every day. The balcony was lovely for picture taking and people watching. Location - the location of the hotel is absolutely perfect. Right in the hussle and bussle of the town. The bus stop to Ravello is literally opposite the hotel and the stop for Positano and Sorrento is a little further down. The shop to buy the tickets for the bus is conveniently next door to the hotel which is also where we brought snacks and drinks. Service - the service in the hotel is absolutely superb. Every member of staff is so polite and helpful. The only thing they ask is no hot food being brought inside the hotel and that you leave your key at reception whenever you go out which was no bother to us. My boyfriend actually proposed to me on the trip and he organized a bottle of Prosecco and a fruit bowl to be in the room the night of the proposal. The hotel staff also gave us a bottle of Prosecco when we had issues with the air con which was very generous. They also helped us find out how to buy bus and ferry tickets when we asked. Breakfast - lastly the breakfast. Breakfast was included in our stay however we did not have any other meal at the hotel like the dinner as it was quite expensive for us and not what we preferred to eat. There’s lot of great alternatives in the amalfi town instead. However, the breakfast was absolutely amazing. It’s served in the restaurant 7-10 each morning and you order from a slip what you would like. I had the English breakfast and occasionally the pancakes which were amazing! You’re also given croissants on the table and water and can order whichever hot drink you’d prefer. We really enjoyed the breakfast and thought the variety was great. Overall, we would definitely come back and we absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Residence!

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.
