La Fenice

The most amazing bed & breakfast I have been to, in a beautiful and quiet part of Positano. La Fenice makes you feel right at home with an extremely friendly, family oriented staff. They were so welcoming and accommodating which made our experience one to remember. This place has their own pool and a beautiful private beach. They provide amazing breakfast and lunch with produce from their own property. This was our favorite stop on our vacation and we hope to come back here again soon!

The most incredible hotel I’ve ever stayed at! What truly makes this place special is the wonderful family who run it, the fresh, delicious food they prepare daily from their own farm, and of course, the stunning location. It’s set right on the water with its own private beach, and just a short walk from town. I almost want to keep this hidden gem a secret, but it deserves to be shared. Absolutely loved it!

Five stars doesn’t even do La Fenice justice. The private beach (which is soooo superior to any beach club in positano), insane complementary breakfast, genuinely hospitable hosts, I mean I could go on for days. Perfectly secluded but conveniently located. I accidentally booked the wrong hotel and they took us in like family (they only do direct bookings which makes sense because it’s a very personal, intimate experience). In such a stressful situation, they made us feel at home immediately without asking questions. I would climb a million stairs to stay at this place again, we’re actually already planning our next trip. Core memories were made and I’ll forever be grateful to the La Fenice family.

Best place to be at amalfi cost. Safe, quiet with lots of space for yourself and your privacy, separate but still very close to walk center of amazing Positano, breathtaking views all day and all places. Not to forget the absolute privilege of a private beach and the silent nights. The family running the place rounds it to a total best place to be.

Charming inn and very reasonably priced in a very expensive region. Rooms small, rustic but tasteful, with verandas that give expansive views of Positano proper and the bluest sea. As everywhere here, prepare to climb up and down, luckily burning off the pounds you may add from the delicious breakfast served here. A 12-minute walk brings guests into the heart of Positano while creating a calm oasis from its tourist crowd. The owners - two sons and a father - personify hospitality. Luke

Giulio and his family were the most amazing hosts! This is guest accommodation for sure - but it also their home and farm. We stayed at the beginning of March in a cottage on the downhill side of the road. Lots of stairs so just be aware. It didn't bother us but if you have lots of heavy luggage - well...you know the drill. A beautiful private beach at the bottom of the cliff awaits with a lovely waterfall up from that at the edge of the highway. Kayaks are available. The water was warmer at the beginning of March than the Pacific ever gets even in the height of summer. The accommodation was island style casual with a lovely terrace. We were greeted on arrival with a complimentary limoncello spritz and snack. The view was incredible! We had a very nice breakfast each day with produce from their farm. We got to meet the chickens and see how these kinds folks produce the most wonderful fruit and veg in very challenging conditions. The setting is beautiful and they are genuinely nice people. This is NOT your full-service, bougie, all-inclusive, spa-products kind of place. It was historic, quiet, quaint, authentic, and a bit rustic - which is what we love. It's about a 10 min. walk to Positano town proper but I would rather be a bit outside the madness personally. Even in early March there were considerable crowds in the afternoon especially at the nearest bus stop - Sponda. Giulio helped us with great advice on catching the Mobility Bus though - which is your best bet for getting around. If we ever find ourselves back on the Amalfi Coast we hope there will be a spot around their campfire for us.

this b&b is amazing! we stayed 4 nights and were in an interior room. when i booked, they were upfront that it had no view or balcony but i really wanted to stay at their location (and was booking a bit late) so decided to stay there anyway. the cost was very reasonable for positano as well, especially since they have a pool and private beach. the room ended up being great, no complaints! it even ended up having a private roof deck with a couple chairs (we used that to dry towels/etc.). i’d definitely try to get a balcony/view room next time, but interior was totally fine. they had an amazing breakfast every day (included) and lunch down by the pool was extra but also amazing. i had a big salad each day with a bunch of veggies from their garden. the pool and beach are both amazing. getting back up from the beach is a workout (a lot of stairs!) but it’s positano so that’s kind of a given, haha. i can’t wait to come back here - the whole family is great and super helpful (i feel like we asked giulio a million questions) and location is perfect! slightly outside of town so it doesn’t feel too crammed with people. thank you!!

La Fenice is THE most amazing place. We rented a 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath Villa at the top of the property and it was terrific. Our family - my husband and I, our two adult daughters and their boyfriends - loved everything - the Villa, with beautiful views and terraces and AC; the pool, with delicious food and drinks served by Giacomo; the private beach, with loungers, umbrellas, kayaks & paddle boards; the 5 minute walk to town yet the quiet tranquility of the Villa/pool/beach; and the excellent service provided by Giulio and Giacomo, whether it be booking dinner reservations or a private boat tour, arranging transportation or serving us food and drinks. ||It was the best vacation we could have had. Giulio and Giacomo will do everything they can to put you in true hassle-free vacation mode. ||We would definitely return!
