"Housed in a miraculous former aristocratic home poised over the water on the Amalfi Coast, this storied escape pairs historic pedigree with perennially spectacular views." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A family-run, iconic Positano hotel that encourages a slow, leisurely stay — think long breakfasts, enjoying morning light on your terrace, and a relaxing dip in the pool rather than rushing around." - Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz is a writer and editor based in Rome.

"Remarkably un-hotel-like, this was the Marchese Sersale family’s summer house for two hundred and fifty years, and they still run it. Despite its location, it’s quiet, isolated from local traffic and apparently from most tourists, and we love that it’s part of Positano, a town constructed like an amphitheater—houses literally cut into the cliff, each with an unobstructed view over the next, and stairs instead of streets. Inside, it’s simple and lovely, with an authenticity so unpretentious it’s almost careless." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Here’s a seaside view along the Amalfi Coast, from the highest floor of the hotel. Besides that, you’ll have plenty of space to unwind: bedroom, living room, and bathroom complete with a very large, dare we say two-person, tub." - Yolanda Evans
"An iconic Positano hotel recognized for incredible views and a bright red facade, recommended as one of the most emblematic luxury lodgings on the Amalfi Coast for couples seeking classic seaside romance." - Alex Schechter Alex Schechter Alex Schechter is a Los Angeles-based journalist who covers travel, food, and dining.
