This hotel was amazing. The room was so nice. The view was spectacular. The staff was awesome...helpful and very friendly. The location was great because it was far enough away from the "busy" part of Positano but close enough to walk to the main shopping areas. We loved our stay in L'Ancora and will definitely recommend to our friends and family should they travel to Positano.

Excellent property, the restaurant alone is a destination place, and having the hotel located in the middle of the shopping area is positioned perfectly, built on the side of the mountain along the Almafi Coast. Rooms are beautiful and the view is beyond compare .

This hotel was amazing and the staff were so lovely and attentive. The only thing that could be improved is that the bed was really firm (no mattress topper) but other than that the room was perfect. The location is where you want to be, right in the middle with everything you need around it. Would definitely recommend!

Our stay at hotel L’ancora was absolutely wonderful. Positano has been my favorite town in Italy, I did not want to leave. This hotel made us feel at home with its amazing central location, great staff, and included breakfast was a big plus!! We even used the transfer service at the end of our trip to Naples train station and our driver was punctual and made sure to get us to the station safe and on time. I truly loved our stay and can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful Hotel in the Heart of Positano

We loved our stay at Hotel L’Ancora for our honeymoon! The location is perfect as it is near many good resturants and shops. It is also just a 10 min walk to the beach! Our room was ready early, which was great because we were both sweaty after carrying our bags up (they offer a service to transport bags for £15/bag which we invested in when we left lol). Personally, I felt the bag service should be included with the room with how much we spent on our stay. The breakfast that was included was so yummy and the views were unbeatable! The staff was also very kind and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back soon! The view from our room was amazing, and we enjoyed being in the center of the town. The walk down to the beach was right next to our hotel, which was very convenient. There are several lunch and dinner options next to the hotel, and the hotel restaurant is a great choice as well. The service was spectacular. My fiancé and I stayed for 5 days, and the staff was extremely helpful to help plan the proposal and other activities throughout our trip.
