Hotel in zona Boutique Lavinia, Positano

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

Wow what an amazing place to stay! From the moment we arrived the two ladies from Alcoine Residence (So sorry unsure on names) could not been more helpful. Yes it is not a hotel but the service they provide is much more personable. We had a 2 bedroom apartment which was incredibly clean and the view from our balcony was amazing! We loved choosing our breakfast and eating it on the balcony every morning. The facilities were amazing. One night we had our own dinner from the pizzeria and deli - the views were breathtaking. They also booked us a transfer back to the airport and booked us dinner reservations. We Would highly recommend staying here!!!

Una struttura curata con passione che riesce a trasmettere ogni singolo giorno una emozione! La vista che si gode dalle camere, sulla baia di Positano è veramente sensazionale! La colazione servita sul terrazzino poi , godendo della vista del Mare e con ottimi prodotti, ogni mattina ci faceva ben iniziare il nuovo giorno! In bagno asciugamani profumati è morbidissimi a iosa! La comodità del parcheggio poi, a Positano dove è introvabile, un altro valore aggiunto! La fatica delle scale per scendere a mare era assolutamente sopportabile ( d’altronde di sa che la città verticale è fatta tutta così) e poi quando rientravi in camera ti rilassavi in assoluto relax! Mi avete regalato giorni piacevoli e spero poter nuovamente essere vostro ospite! Grazieeeeee

parto da una premessa. Positano è magnifica e il il 90% delle location vista mare sono favolose. Questa, come tante ha una vista sul mare magnifica ma io sono qui a valutare la struttura con standard molto alti visto il prezzo. • vista mare magnifica con giardini curatissimi. Peccato però che la cura dei giardini prevede la partenza dell'irrigazione alle 6.30 di mattina (giù di lì). Forse i proprietari attenzionano maggiormente la cura del giardino al riposo dei loro ospiti. • stanza. Non ci siamo. è inaccettabile che una camera da quasi 400€ al giorno abbia 1 (UNA) sola presa in stanza (più una in bagno e una utilizzata per frigo/tv). Praticamente o vi portate una ciabatta o preparatevi a litigarvi con vostra moglie la ricarica del cellulare (assurdo). In caso di Teenager – AIUTO!- Suggerisco di investire 100€ a camera per un bravo elettricista per risolvere. Sostenibile come spesa? Penso di si. • colazione. Dimenticatevi le prelibatezze partenopee. Sono state servite solo torte asciutte (da tè per intenderci). Se eri nel giorno buono delle brioscine (piccole e solo alla marmellata). Vi piace la brioches alla nuttella? E no, vi prendete quella con la marmellata e ci aggiungete la nutella. Alzatevi presto per essere certi di trovarne ancora. Parte salata praticamente assente. Solo un po’ di prosciutto e uova sode! • location. abbastanza lontano dal centro di Positano. per arrivare si fa una statale in gran parte senza marciapiede, strada ristretta anche dalle auto parcheggiate. Insomma, non certo comodo come ho letto su altre recensioni. date un occhio su google street e ve ne renderete conto. Se contate sui mezzi pubblici lasciate stare. Pochi rispetto al numero di turisti. Suggerimenti: trovate degli accorgimenti per annaffiare il giardino. Probabilmente abbassando la pressione e aumentando il numero di annaffiatori non ci sarebbe quel rumore fortissimo di temporale. Date ad utilizzo dei vostri ospiti delle biciclette Colazione. o la fate o non la fate. La via di mezzo non va bene Maggiore cura della stanza da un punto di vista servizi. Personale molto cordiale (soprattutto la signora di cui mi sfugge il nome). Ambiente molto pulito e curato negli esterni.
