The staff for our entire trip to Italy was excellent. Our front desk clerk, Lolanda, was one of the best. FYI: This property is only open ~6 months a year, closed from sometime in November to sometime in April -- that's when they have down time to do upgrades and repairs -- as are many of the hotel properties in Positano. As we've been before, this was our first trip to rent a vehicle and drive into this small, tight, seaport "village," which is a total tourist trap due to so many people, scooters and motorcycles! Yikes. No parking at hotels. Only public lots -- so be prepared to valet for any amount of Euros necessary to leave a vehicle overnight! One last note for travelers driving: the paved road to get in and out is a narrow one-way loop (from West-to-East) that doubles as a pedestrian right-of-way. Of course this Hotel L'Ancora is only about 50 meters from the top of the hill up -- meaning that you have to drive the entire way to pull over and check in. No worries, though, the valets are excellent and worth the added expense. The views are especially great from their Restaurant, and they treat Hotel diners with the utmost respect and promptness!

We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back soon! The view from our room was amazing, and we enjoyed being in the center of the town. The walk down to the beach was right next to our hotel, which was very convenient. There are several lunch and dinner options next to the hotel, and the hotel restaurant is a great choice as well. The service was spectacular. My fiancé and I stayed for 5 days, and the staff was extremely helpful to help plan the proposal and other activities throughout our trip.

This hotel has THE BEST VIEWS of Positano and staff treat you like royalty here! The jacuzzi in the room with views were spectacular. More options for free breakfast would’ve been nice. VERY HELPFUL how they coordinate porter service for getting luggage to/from the ferry port as Positano steps/hikes daily to/from beaches, shopping & restaurants is insane!

Can not say enough about this hotel! Hands down one of the nicest hotels we've stayed. The staff goes above and beyond, every single one! They gave us suggestions on places to go and places to eat/drink. The views are beyond incredible. The restaurant has a wonderful breakfast spread every morning and dinner was fantastic. They also arranged transportation for us to go to a restaurant off the beaten path called Donna Rosa, which was an authentic and amazing experience. Would like to specifically mention one of the staff, Simon, who, after calling around for us, went by the Bus Depot in another town to pick up my husband's backpack which we left on the bus drive to Positano. Would have been a very costly loss for us as his car keys were in there!!

The hotel sits in the side of the mountains and has breathtaking views of Positano and the sea. The staff were very kind and helpful and looked after us during our stay. It is extremely hilly there and my daughter gets car sick with the hairpin turns, so the hotel arranged for a private car to and from the train. We had the best octopus dishes of our lives from the restaurant. Each morning, we enjoyed breakfast on the terrace and my little granddaughter loved her fresh orange juice and croissants and fruit. We will be returning to L’Ancora again.
