My wife and I stayed here for four nights in early October 2024 while visiting the area. We had a hard time deciding between staying in Positano or basing our of another nearby location. In the end we were very happy with our decision. Positano is very busy during the day when a lot of day trippers come in via bus and ferry. However, if you're staying there you find it much quieter and calmer in the morning and evenings. It is certainly one of the more expensive areas to stay on the Amalfi coast but I felt like Casa Albertina provided something that, while pricier than other places we stayed in Italy, was not terribly expensive and allowed us to stay where we really wanted to be. Positano also sits in a good location with a short ferry ride to Amalfi and one of the shorter ferry rides to Capri. We found getting around the Amalfi coast to be a bit time consuming. Ferries were cancelled 10/3-10/5 due to rough seas which then puts a strain on the already crowded buses and taxis are not cheap and share the same busy narrow road with the buses. For this reason it's good to be in a place where you won't be disappointed if you have to unexpectedly stay there for the day and who could ever be disappointed with a day in Positano? Fortunately for us we made day trips to Capri on 10/1 and Amalfi / Ravello on 10/2 when the weather was great so we were unaffected but heard other disappointed couples. We booked a double superior room with sea view balcony and "sea view balcony" is quite the understatement. The view was unbelievable. It looked like a painting all times of day and night. The room includes a fridge with drinks that are reasonably priced so after getting a tour and shown to our room we immediately popped the Prosecco from the fridge and sat on our balcony. The view was so stunning my wife wiped tears away which might have been my favorite part of the trip. The hotel includes a sun deck with lounge chairs and the same incredible views. There is a rooftop bar open until 10pm where the drinks are again reasonably priced for Positano and for the unbelievable views and included snacks. Every member of the staff were very friendly and accommodating from check in to check out. The gentleman that gets espresso at breakfast was so kind and knew our order by day two. My wife asked him about one of the types of fruit they had that we had not seen before and after answering her question he came back to the table with a whole fresh one and a knife so we could eat a fresh one at the table. He then remembered and brought another one the next morning. I really wish I had gotten his name to call him out by name but he was working breakfast every morning from 10/1-10/4. While the balcony was the highlight the rest of the room was very nice and clean too. The bathroom and shower were maybe the largest I've seen in Europe which was a nice change of pace. The location was great for us. There are 71 steps down to the main road but that's the price you pay for th

We loved this hotel. But let me warn you, it is quite a hike from the road to the entrance, steps and steps and steep steps and a tunnel. The porter carried our bags up. Our room had a terrace with table and chairs and an incredible view of Positano and the Mediteranean. It appeared that the spacious bathroom had recently been renovated. We ate breakfast on the terrace of the breakfast room. It was a buffet. The waiter took care of our coffees and took very good care of us. One of the best restaurants we ate at is right next door, da Vincenzo. We highly recommend this hotel.
