We just ended a fabulous week at Hotel Palazzo Murat which enjoys an exceptional location in central Positano and combines wonderful staff, atmosphere, facilities and food. While close to the beach and accessible directly from the main, bustling pedestrianised area, it is an island of tranquillity in the tourist storm. We particularly liked the shady gardens that connect the bar and restaurant with the pool. These are both beautiful and quite unusual in our experience, enhancing further the sense of privacy. Bougainvillea is trained around the bedroom balconies including forming part of the overhead canopy, creating a spectacular setting. Breakfast was first rate with a commendable range of gluten free options in a section we dubbed “gluten free corner”. Hot buffet food included scrambled eggs, ratatouille and bacon and there are more options available for an extra charge. There was a wide range of other buffet items, including fresh fruit, cold cuts, cheeses, yoghurts and cakes. Freshly squeezed orange juice was crushed from the fruit on the spot. The breakfast team were extremely helpful, did a lot to settle us in on the first morning and provided a welcome shuttle of cappuccinos. The restaurant is incredible. Leonardo (Guest Relations Manager) kindly organised a guided tour of Pompeii for us which was very professionally delivered by a third party. Special thanks to Leonardo, Ernesto, Elena and not forgetting Antonio who looked after us in a secluded glade by the pool that we adopted as our own, but the whole team are excellent and were always on their game. We plan to return!
