Pensione Maria Luisa

Pensione Maria Luisa was an amazing place to stay in Positano. The location and the views are unreal- both the city view rooms and ocean view rooms are mesmerising. On top of the comfortable rooms, the hosts- Carlo and his daughter were the most accomodating, helpful and friendly hosts I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with. They went above and beyond to help us out and gave great recommendations whenever we had a question about transport, activities etc. The beach below the hotel is stunning with amazing views, with the choice of a public area or beach clubs- and is less busy than the main beach. We found it easier to walk around to the main beach and then take the road up as opposed to the stairs, takes a bit longer but you see more of Positano and its gentler on the knees ;) Thank you so much for our stay

This delightful and comfortable Pensione is ideally located for access to Positano and its less frequented beach to the north. While accessing the Pensione takes some extra steps, it's well worth the effort. Excellent service and friendly staff.

Lovely hotel overlooking Positano. Rooms are spacious and clean and bathroom has everything you'll need. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Good WiFi and roof terrace. As with many places in Positano there is no vehicular access,, there is a path with steps from the road. There is no breakfast here also.

My friends and I are all studying abroad, and we spent part of our spring break staying here. This was the best place I’ve stayed at all semester, and it was extremely luxurious and beautiful. The views are incredible from the main dining area and the rooms. Carlo was so kind to us. The rooms had many necessary amenities, which is sometimes hard to find. I 100% recommend this place.

Our room and bathroom had ants and the balcony leaked water when we took a shower. They charge 15 Euro if you return to the hotel after 0130 After using the shared balcony one night, the next night there was a sign that the shared balcony could not be used after midnight. Basically more rules than at your parents place while you’re on vacation trying to enjoy yourself. Making this very clear as we had no idea about the prison rules prior to booking the place. The view of the city is beautiful and the staff is helpful if you have any questions but that’s really all.

Positano is expensive! If you are aware of that and don’t have price expectations from other areas of Italy then this place is really good in any aspects. The sunrises are unbeatable. The nights on the terrace are worth the price. The owners are really sweet and supportive.

We were sadly disappointed in our stay here and from the beginning felt a little mislead. We booked directly through the property website which says they offer breakfast as an option and had photos of the breakfast room and our Lonely Planet guide book also suggested the property offered breakfast. When we arrived at the property however, the person checking us in said they didn’t have breakfast there and didn’t give any further explanation as to why it was still listed on their website. The website also says they have a laundry service, but we were told at check in that we would have to take it ourselves and he gave no further information other than the location. Luckily we asked a different person working the next morning about the laundry and they were very helpful in arranging for the laundry to be picked up from the property and dropped back off. Aside from the confusion of the hotel services the room was also a bit lacking for comfort. The pillows were very flat, towels were starchy and stiff and had ants crawling up the bathroom wall. There was a ton of rain the second and third day of our stay and we had no hot water because they were having electricity problems. On a positive note the owner of the property was very nice and tried to be as accommodating as possible to alleviate our concerns (offering insecticide spray for the ants and to take a shower in a different room). Overall we simply felt the accommodations were not a good value and that we overpaid for what we got in return. The balcony with the view was the best part, but unfortunately we didn’t get to use it much because of all the rain, and would have sacrificed the balcony if it meant we could have had more comforts in the room amenities.

Such a wonderful stay!!! The hosts spoke great English and were really helpful. We booked a panoramic double and our view was amazing. Comfy bed, charming room - the only thing better would be an included breakfast but that didn't bother us!! Would definitely stay again :) close to the Fornillo beach and short walk into Positano itself, we enjoyed staying outside of the busier area.
