We give 5 Stars to the Hotel Marincanto. It is a spectacular home base for discovering the beauty of Positano and Italy's Amalfi Coast. * We were greeted enthusiastically by Giovanni who helped us with our luggage from the elevator down to reception and then down the 100 steps to our room! Francesco welcomed us warmly as he checked us... More

We had a fantastic night at this hotel during our trip along the Amalfi coast. It’s easily as beautiful as the pictures would lead you to believe. Our room was quite large, and the bathroom seemed to have been refinished quite recently. The shower even had body jets. Our room was quite clean, and yes, the balconies are small, but... More

We stayed here in late April on our honeymoon. The room was well appointed with a fantastic view. The all white decour was a little sterile for our tastes but the bed was comfortable. The shower was adequate but not up to the standard expected considering the price of the room. The breakfast buffet was great with very attentive staff... More

We stayed at the Marincanto recently. We enjoyed a delightful dinner in the terrace restaurant looking out on the lights of Positano. The public areas were lovely, the staff were excellent, but unfortunately there were a couple of issues. Firstly our room 230 had a balcony too small for two chairs a table and two people and the lemon terrace... More

We stayed here for four nights and had a wonderful stay. The staff were very friendly, helpful and spoke very good English. They were also very good at recommending things to do in the area, which was great for us being slightly more active. The room we had was very big with a large bathroom, both with sea views. It...

Hotel Marincanto was our favourite hotel on our recent trip to the Amalfi Coast. Absolutely perfect - views, room, staff, location, pool and grounds. Our only slight disappointment was poor service when we had dinner at the hotel but perhaps it was just a difficult night as the rest of the staff were fantastic, especially Enza on the front desk...

Blown away by this hotel! Not expecting too much beforhand, but the location is unbeatable with sweeping views of the sea and Positano! 5 minute walk from main part of town and 100m from the bus stop. Booked a "triple" room and got a 2 bedroom suite with private balcony!! ...so unbelievable! We loved every second! Wonderful tanning decks with... More

We stayed at Marincanto at the end of April 2012 because our friends were getting married in Positano. It also happened to coincide with my birthday. The room and the grounds are so beautiful. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The restaurant was excellent. We ate here several times for lunch and dinner, and the... More

We recently traveled to Italy with my parents and this was our favorite hotel! It is located a bit further up the road, which makes for a little bit of a walk uphill, but the quiet, wonderful staff, and lovely accommodations make it worth it. Positano isn't exactly a large village, so it isn't much of a walk anyway! The... More
