8/10 Very good

This is a beautiful hotel and we feel we found a gem. Our incredibly big room (junior suite) was very comfortable and overlooked the beach, which was a bustling hub of activity. The staff were helpful and very friendly. Highly recommend this hotel. Loved it.

The 6 night stay at Covo was great. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Maria at the restaurant along side her the manager greeted us and served us with so much love and care every morning. We had a great stay overall and Mainly because of the staff’s hospitality, good food and proximity to the beach. Will visit again.

Amazing property. We absolutely loved this hotel, the best location in town, very comfortable beds, clean rooms, delicious food, incredible sea views.The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is right beside the port so we were able to just jump on ferry for quick day trips. We travelled Italy for 10 days staying a various hotels along the way and this one is hands down our most favorite! We highly recommend!!

10/10 Exceptional

Beautifully appointed and situated hotel at premier Positano location, on the beach near the ferry wharf. Nice bar and restaurant, classy breakfast room in the water . Maria in the breakfast room makes you feel at home . Rosario , of the waiting staff, is wonderful. The front desk staff is always attentive, even before arriving with responsive emails. We could not have asked for more.
David, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Old and the shower was a cabin which you couldnt almost shower in The beach was extremely poor and to the public I wouldn’t return or recommend anyone to a 5 star of such hotel This hotel is no more or less than a 3 star hotel Breakfast was very accommodating
alla, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely property, though a tad dated. It has an old world feel to it. Without exception the staff were kind, helpful and efficient. Breakfast was great. We are happy that we chose to be at the lower level of Positano and enjoyed the dining choices that were within easy walking range. We were there the first week in October and the buzz of activity as the ferries and boats pulled into the pier made it busy and noisy; so peak season maybe overwhelming.
Georgia, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Worth every penny!

Loved this hotel! Located ON THE BEACH! In the walking section of old Town. Staff, all of them, excellent. Especially Rosario in the bar, Alexandra Concierge, gino front desk mgr. Room spotless, large balcony w seating, comfortable beds. Located right at the ferry dock so we didn't have to haul luggage up a bazillion stairs to a taxi (hotel also has porters to do that. If you taxiing here, i Hightower recommend the baggage porter both ways!

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay, couldn’t have asked for anything better. Pool area is gorgeous, we ended up spending most of our time lounging on the pool deck. Service was impeccable, every single employee went above and beyond to make it a fantastic stay. Room was a great size and beautiful - clean, comfortable bed, well air conditioned, gorgeous views. Only minor complaint is our room seemed especially loud at night and in the morning, some of it seemed like loud pipes but just general working hotel noise seemed very loud in the morning, banging and clanging of things, loud talking, etc. Rooms are not soundproofed the best which is expected with older buildings, but was still a bummer, we did not have the quiet peaceful mornings exactly. Our room was on floor 2, the furthest from the center so perhaps that was it, that on the edge we caught more noise from back rooms or higher floors. Overall it didn’t massively impact our stay, was a bit annoying but we’re still thrilled we stayed here and will definitely be returning. Location is excellent, short walk to everything and no uphill climb after the beach, you just walk back in the front door which is basically next to the beach.
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great property and right next to the beach and ferry dock area. Convenient to shopping and restaurants. But a serious hike up the hill if you made reservations too far up. Be aware. Parking is at Gennaro Garage and space is limited there and all over Positano, so we spent the money on a taxi from Napoli and it was worth it. Had no reason to have a car. The view from the balconies looking over the water and up the hillside is outstanding. The service by the hotel staff is as quick as we have ever received anywhere. Daily breakfast was top notch and with the same view. Great pool and bar area. Their business center room has the most ridiculously beautiful view of the bay and hills that I can’t imagine anyone getting any work done in there. Loved Covo dei Saraceni. :)
STEPHEN, 2-night trip

Positano stay

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. We were in a basic room and it worked great for what we needed. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. The breakfast spread is awesome and the pool is amazing as well. My only negative thing to say is we got two massages and they charge you an arm and leg for them and they come to your room to do them. We had a very small room so they brought us to a bathroom upstairs and the lights couldn’t be turned off. So for 180 euros I wouldn’t say the massage was worth it at all. But they did their best. The location is excellent when wanting to be close to the beach but you will have to climb stairs to get to the hotel and to do anything else. The only downfall to the location and the basic rooms is you are right in the heart of it so it’s extremely noisy at night. There’s a club across the way and can hear the music, people outside yelling at all hours and they come to do some sort of bottle pickup & drop off seems like anytime from 2:00 am to 6:00 am and it’s super loud. Other than that we would definitely stay here again no doubt!
