Located adjacent to the Le Sirenuse Hotel and sharing the same fabulous view of Positano, Hotel Ancora is a sparkling gem without the high price of it's 5 star neighbor. Our jr suite, room #206, with a hot tub on the terrace (only 2 rooms in the hotel have hot tubs) was worth paying extra!!! It's terrace is the largest... More

Anna and L'Ancora Hotel in Positano saved us when another hotel (Hotel Villa Franca) was not able to honor our reservation due to over-booking during 2 nights in OCT. Anna provided us with a nice suite that had a beautiful ocean view & small balcony.The breakfast area and food offering, which included cereal, coffee, fresh fruit, & pastries was very... More

Not enough words to describe how wonderful this hotel is! Booked Jr Suite with Private Terrace- THE prime, most breathtaking view in all of Positano. (Same view as Sireneuse next door at a fraction of the price.) Beautiful and spacious room, jetted bath tub/shower beneath window directly out to the stunning view; Staff were extremely friendly and gracious and met... More

Rooms had window view, no view or a balcony. Fortunately we had three couples that allowed us to gather for sunset wine and cheese each night. Cute clean rooms with jetted tubs. It appeared some rooms had their own hot tub on the balcony. Downsides were we couldn't call the elevator from our floor so had to up or down... More

As a last minute booking my wife and I enjoyed 4 wonderful days and nights at the Ancora. We had booked hoping for a reasonable sea view room and were very pleased when Alfredo from reception took us to our room. We had been upgraded to a family suite with more than enough room for the 2 of us. Large... More

Stumbled across this hotel when searching for Positano recommendations. A little bit of luck, this is a beautiful, clean, authentic hotel with a touch of Italian authenticity located on the hills of Positano and just a short walk (10 min) down to the beach. Breathtaking views, standard continental breakfast selection included, with excellent cappuccino. Service was great with turn down... More

A short walk from the bus stop. We were a little concerned by the small front desk arrival area in between two parking garage areas, but once inside it is a delightful hotel. Our room had the perfect deck overlooking the beach and town areas. The bathroom with a jetted tub was a lot of fun, it has a view... More

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Ancora for my 30th Birthday at the end of June. It was a lovely hotel in a perfect location, staff are very friendly and accomodating. We asked to change a room because our view was obstructed and they moved us the next day to an amazing room with views to match. The rooms... More

We spent four nights here and loved this hotel. Great value, perfect views from our balcony and really good service by all staff especially Alfredo at front desk. Note wifi is not available in rooms only in lobby for payment.
