After spending our first 4 days in Rome, my husband and I were looking forward to relaxing in Positano. We stayed between 9/29/09 and 10/2/09. Carlo, the owner, is very easy to reach via email and was very helpful providing directions and advice to get around Positano. I had reserved a room with a private terrace and wow, what a... more

We found this hotel online, we arrived in Positano by bus. We had to look for the hotel, but noticed the name painted in black on the side of it!!!! So much easier. We had a charming room, regular shower, not small tub with hand held!!! The owner could not be nicer, so warm and inviting! We paid $5 euro... more

I would have liked to write a proper review for the Maria Luisa after having experienced the wonderful view but they managed to give the room I'd booked to someone else. I'd exchanged several emails a week earlier with Carlo, offering my credit card details, assuring him I'd arrive around 2 or 3 pm, giving my mobile phone number, etc... more

This hotel is a gem for the price, the room was large and comfy. The terrace was huge with a table and chairs and umbrella, plus 2 deck chairs. The view was to die for, straight out to sead. I am sure there are some 5 star hotels in Positano that didnt have a view like we had. We stayed... more

The view from the sea facing rooms with the balconys are amazing. The terraces are large and spacious and the rooms are clean and humble. I would rather stay in a more basic hotel with that view than a more plush hotel without the view anyday. The hotel is basic and clean and the host Carlos is a darling. My... more

We stayed at Pensione Maria Lusia for one night in a 3 week trip in Italy. When we got off the bus, we must have walked for at least 15min with luggage to get to this place. It was quite a hike. However when we got there, and were shown our room, we were blown away from our first views... more

Ok...so for a budget traveller like myself this place was absolutely beautiful, great value for money and the staff were fantastic. We feel like we really lucked out with this place! This little family fun hotel is the best value place to stay in positano. And for a 10 Euro extra you can get a room with a private terrace,... more

We had a very small room at the bottom of the stairs and we got a great rate. The place has definitely seen more lively days. The very pleasant owner shared with me that he used to host guests, back in the day, for months at a time, and that he used to enjoy making dinner for the whole place... more
