"Five stars don’t feel like enough for Hotel Poseidon. The setting is gorgeous, but the people are what made our stay unforgettable. A very special thank-you to Marguerite, her sister, and her mother. These incredible women have created something truly special: a hotel that feels luxurious and deeply personal, with warmth you simply cannot manufacture. They treated us like kings and queens while making us feel completely at home. We traveled with our young son, Sebastian, and their kindness meant everything. Traveling with a little one comes with fussy moments, but never once did anyone make us feel uncomfortable or like an inconvenience. They met us with patience, care, and genuine affection, allowing us to relax and enjoy this beautiful experience as a family. As parents, that is something we will never forget. And the secret rooftop bar? An absolute gem. One of those places you almost want to keep to yourself, but it’s far too special not to mention. Hotel Poseidon has beauty, soul, and the most wonderful women behind it. We arrived as guests and left feeling like family. An absolute highlight of our time in Italy, and a place we would return to in a heartbeat."

"The included breakfast was a nice feature. The staff were very kind and helpful. The rooms are small and a.nit expensive for what they are but that is the cost of staying on the coast. The hotel is located very close to all the shopping stores and close walk to the beach. Great hotel if you are looking to stay close to the main areas."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Villa Rosa, right in the heart of Positano! The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with all our needs. The view from our top-floor room was absolutely breathtaking, and the breakfast was wonderful as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this lovely place!"

"Nice hotel room with a great view. Staff were nice and helpful. It’s a long walk with lots of stairs to get to the central area/beach and the hotel does not provide a shuttle. The hotel is right beside a bus stop though (cash only) which will take you to the bottom."
