Palazzo Margherita

The view from the room is very stunning, which is fantastic for taking photos. The room is huge , very heigh ceilings feeling so special like living in the palace!! The room is equipped with all excellent amenities including washing machine and dishwasher. The service is very friendly. Highly recommend 👍🎉

This was one of our nicest surprises on our trip through Italy. We were apprehensive, at first, because we usually prefer to stay at hotels which offer full service (pool, concierge, front desk staff, etc.) vs. air bnb or bed and breakfast type places. However, once we saw pictures of the views this place had ... we decided to book ... and it was a fantastic decision! Mauro, who is the property manager, and all-around great person answered all of our emails promptly with questions and made great restaurant recommendations during our stay. He was on property to warming greet us, help us to park (believe me ... parking in Positano is impossible ... so the fact that it was possible to rent a parking spot on property along with the room was a HUGE convenience!) and check us in. The cleaning woman came every day and was so sweet. We arrived a little early before our 3 p.m. check-in time and he allowed us to come into the room a bit early, which was very nice as it allowed us to change clothes. He showed us the room and gave us the keys and instructions on how to open the door after hours, when there is no staff. We had no problems coming, or going, during our stay. The cleaning woman came every day and was so sweet. Our little apartment was spotless when we came back from the city. Our suite was the Palazzo Suite, which was pretty huge ... 750 square feet, or so, with a large kitchen, a bedroom and changing area, a small alcove with a washing machine (no drying machine ... only a rack) and a wonderfully big bathroom. The star of the show was the GIANT patio with panoramic views of the mountains and the city. Sadly, it rained for most of the time we were in Positano ... but thankfully our suite had a canvas cover, which allowed us to admire the view, even during a rain storm! A few of the other suites had balconies with an open sky ... but during the rain, they were unable to use the balcony like we did ... so we made a good choice of room! Of course the furniture was a little old and worn ... but the bed was comfortable and honestly, we spent very few minutes in the room. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel-style, picture-perfect room, this isn't it. However, Le Sirinuse and Villa TreVelle rooms with this view would cost 2 or 3 times the price. So, we were beyond happy with the value of the room and were very comfortable in it during our entire stay. The hardest part of the room was to motivate ourselves to go into town because the view from the huge terrace was so amazing that we did not want to leave. You must be in very good shape in order to fully enjoy the location in Positano. There are a LOT of steep stairs to climb up and down to get into the city ... and I don't know if I have been in a city quite as crowded as Positano, even early into the summer. Climbing back up to the hotel each night was quite a process, even for a fit person ... however, anywhere in Positano with a nice view requires this. You could hire a taxi, or uber, to pick

We booked the Praiano and San Sebastiano apartments to accommodate my family for a trip to Positano to celebrate my sister's 50th Birthday. To start, the communication from Mauro was excellent. He promptly answered all of my questions and emails, and when we learned that their boat, La Squalo, was not large enough for our party, he was able to connect us with (and help us with the booking) of another boat through Luxury Boats Positano for a day trip to Capri which was fantastic. He also arranged to have chilled Prosecco in our room on arrival as well as a delicious birthday cake on the boat which was a great treat. He will also offer to stock your room with some groceries if you would like the service - it is only a mere 50 meters from the apartments so we did it ourselves. The view from the apartments is incredible - beautiful sunrises and sunsets everyday! It is a walk down to the beach with many stairs, but after the first set of stores on the way back up, you can walk along the road instead to make it a bit easier (and the walk is beautiful), just a small stretch where you have to be very aware of the cars. The kitchen and washer are not very big, but enough for what was needed for our stay. The air conditioning was a welcome treat as it was unseasonably warm for October. This is an older building, so the water pressure was not great (and one of the showers quite small) but to be expected in an older property. When we had any issues (plumbing, electrical, needed towels), Mauro was very prompt and responsive and had things resolved quickly for us. There is also the ability to pay for parking if you have arrived with your own vehicle, and as the property is on the road, there are no outdoor stairs you need to take your luggage up or down, just the few flights os stairs to get to your apartment (and there are a few main floor apartments with no stairs you can book). The best thing about our stay was working with Mauro. Not only was he very helpful organizing ahead of our arrival, when we arrived with no dinner reservations for our larger party, he was able to secure dinner two nights in a row for us though his connections, and this was a life saver. He met us at check in and check out to help with traffic while we parked and unloaded/unloaded our vehicles. I would be more than happy to recommend Palazzo Margherita for the service you receive considering the value of the accommodations compared to many in Positano that are very expensive.

Recently stayed for 4 nights at Palazzo Margherita and accommodation was fabulous. Italian styled decor, clean, spacious and very well equipped. Location was fabulous and the views unbeatable. Approx 10 minute walk down the hill to village via the road not the stairs. Mauro was a fabulous host, so efficient, friendly and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend and would love to go back to Positano.

Amazing stay, which was made perfect thanks to Mauro in the reception, He is fantastic and very accommodating. We stayed there for 1 week and our family and friends rented out some other apartments in the same complex. thanks Pat

We booked at Palazzo Margherita about 10 months before they were taken for the summer.......and so glad we did. There were 5 of us (my wife, me, daughter, her husband, and our granddaughter) and we were booked in the Galli apartment. The booking went very well and we received word immediately from Mauro about our stay. Prior to arriving, if we had questions for Mauro, our emails were answered within a day. He's very good at getting back to you with a response. If you have a car (which we did) you will need to book a spot ASAP before the spots very close to the apartment get occupied. Our stay was absolutely remarkable! The apartment had plenty of room for all of us. We had two bedrooms and our granddaughter slept on the pulled out couch. Kitchen has most of everything you need. Even a small washing machine to wash clothes and then hang on a drying rack is there, which was helpful to us. To wake up each morning and have coffee on the balcony overlooking the water and coast is just plain breathtaking! I would sit every morning just enjoying the beauty of the Amalfi Coast!! There is a small grocery store about 50 yards from the apartment which has most of anything you need, just be careful walking....the roads are very curvy and the drivers have no fear. Also, a vegetable/fruit stand is another 30-40 yards past that with some very fresh products for sale. The walk to the beach below is a trek. Lots of stairs to go down and then climb up. Its a pretty treacherous climb but my wife and I were able to do it no more than twice a day (we're both in our mid-60's). Prior to us arriving, we did book with Mauro a full day boat trip to Capri.......if you have the opportunity to do this, DO IT! It was the best part of our stay there! Mauro will take care of everything for you. It was just the five of us and Hermes (the Captain) and the trip lasted the entire day. Of course, being clear, sunny, 85 degrees, on a boat 8 hours with drinks and snacks (supplied by the Captain) sure helped make it a memorable day!! The scenery and Capri will take your breath away! We did not spend any time on the beach but there were many people there enjoying it. The restaurants and stores were very typical touristy places, pricey for the most part, but the food was pretty good. Lots of people in early June so expect the crowds. In summary, I would book again in a blink at the Palazzo Margherita. Loved the apartment, loved the views from the apartment, loved the food in the restaurants, loved the boat ride, and Mauro took good care of us. Thanks to Mauro and Palazzo Margherita for making us happy and leaving us with such great memories of Positano!!

This was a mistake and we have learned our lesson. First, the good. It is centrally located, a 10 minute walk down stairs to the port area. The terrace has a fantastic view of the town and sea. High ceilings and a large bathroom. There is a market for food items steps from the door. The bad. There was paint chips from the walls on the floor of the kitchen; cracks not filled, and water stains on the ceiling. Some of the tiles were also cracked. The bathroom is accessible from the outside terrace for the person sleeping on the fold out couch, otherwise, going through the master bedroom. The ugly. As the ferry terminal is down so many steps, it isn’t practical to get luggage there, so as we were going to Sorrento, we opted for a taxi. The man at the desk proposed a Mercedes, we communicated that was unnecessary and just needed taxi service. He argued that it would be the same. We knew differently. We asked him to contact a taxi and he handed us the phone. It was an unpleasant experience. The guy no doubt receives a commission. We walked down to the taxi stand and booked a much less expensive ride. It was his attitude that was confrontational and off putting. All the other towns we stayed were staffed by more professionals.

This resort is beyond beautiful we had the Sponda room the pictures cannot give this room justice! This was the first hotel in Positano Mauro the care taker is amazing very helpful before and during our stay! There is a full kitchen we had so much fun just staying in and cooking getting amazing fresh items from the market down the road. The walk to the main area not far. If you want the million dollar view for your Instagram and Facebook likes you will not be disappointed when you see the photos you will understand what I am talking about!❤️
