Positano Hotels with Balcony

This was one of our nicest surprises on our trip through Italy. We were apprehensive, at first, because we usually prefer to stay at hotels which offer full service (pool, concierge, front desk staff, etc.) vs. air bnb or bed and breakfast type places. However, once we saw pictures of the views this place had ... we decided to book ... and it was a fantastic decision! Mauro, who is the property manager, and all-around great person answered all of our emails promptly with questions and made great restaurant recommendations during our stay. He was on property to warming greet us, help us to park (believe me ... parking in Positano is impossible ... so the fact that it was possible to rent a parking spot on property along with the room was a HUGE convenience!) and check us in. The cleaning woman came every day and was so sweet. We arrived a little early before our 3 p.m. check-in time and he allowed us to come into the room a bit early, which was very nice as it allowed us to change clothes. He showed us the room and gave us the keys and instructions on how to open the door after hours, when there is no staff. We had no problems coming, or going, during our stay. The cleaning woman came every day and was so sweet. Our little apartment was spotless when we came back from the city. Our suite was the Palazzo Suite, which was pretty huge ... 750 square feet, or so, with a large kitchen, a bedroom and changing area, a small alcove with a washing machine (no drying machine ... only a rack) and a wonderfully big bathroom. The star of the show was the GIANT patio with panoramic views of the mountains and the city. Sadly, it rained for most of the time we were in Positano ... but thankfully our suite had a canvas cover, which allowed us to admire the view, even during a rain storm! A few of the other suites had balconies with an open sky ... but during the rain, they were unable to use the balcony like we did ... so we made a good choice of room! Of course the furniture was a little old and worn ... but the bed was comfortable and honestly, we spent very few minutes in the room. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel-style, picture-perfect room, this isn't it. However, Le Sirinuse and Villa TreVelle rooms with this view would cost 2 or 3 times the price. So, we were beyond happy with the value of the room and were very comfortable in it during our entire stay. The hardest part of the room was to motivate ourselves to go into town because the view from the huge terrace was so amazing that we did not want to leave. You must be in very good shape in order to fully enjoy the location in Positano. There are a LOT of steep stairs to climb up and down to get into the city ... and I don't know if I have been in a city quite as crowded as Positano, even early into the summer. Climbing back up to the hotel each night was quite a process, even for a fit person ... however, anywhere in Positano with a nice view requires this. You could hire a taxi, or uber, to pick

We loved everything about our stay at Il Gabbiano! We were there for 4 nights had the most wonderful time. The hotel is very clean, all of the staff were warm and welcoming, the room was beautiful, and a delicious breakfast on the balcony every morning was a nice treat. The view and balcony were amazing, the location was perfect (about a 15 minute walk to the beach, with a lot of great restaurants even closer), and the lobby had a nice seating area overlooking the coast- a great spot for a cappuccino or glass of wine/snacks. This was our first time in Positano and the we were so impressed with the hotel and the staff- we will definitely be back and will stay there again!

The most advanced sea view room is given to the side, and is the second floor, although it is not the best view, but it is enough. If you have a good chance of checking-in at night, you will meet a funny old grandfather, very friendly, and have no service. In addition, if you have breakfast, there will be a chef uncle, very gentleman service. Breakfast is plentiful. The room was very clean but slightly simple, no kettle and coffee tea, no slippers, but who cares. The parking fee is 25 Euros a day, and there will be drivers to help you get the car back. It is very convenient.

We come to play in the off-season. There are not many hotels to choose from. When driving and navigating, we can only find directions. There is a one-way line in front of the door. We cannot park. The hotel stops at the designated parking lot. Hotel rooms are ok, ocean view rooms with small terraces, breakfasts are not many but they are good. It is still not recommended to live in Positano during the off-season. It is too depressed at night and there are few restaurants open. There is no one on the sea breeze on the street. Walking to the restaurant recommended by the hotel on the beach requires self-stories. It should be better to live in Almafi, and the surrounding Positano Ravello Suriento has enough time for the day to play

This is superb accommodation in Positano. We couldn’t have wished for anything better. Staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble from advice, recommending (& booking!) restaurant reservations to beach towels. They made our stay so enjoyable. The room was as large, comfortable and stylish and beautifully renovated. Views are stunning. Breakfast is best ever hard and served on the balcony of the room - what an absolute treat. Loved the bathroom and unique shower. Don’t hesitate to stay here. Thank you Villa Yiaris for a wonderful stay.
