Hotel Posa Posa

Hotel Posa Posa

10/10 Excellent
"What can you say about a gorgeous view of the town and boats on the ocean for breakfast? Really good breakfast as well. The room was spectacular. The view of the town and different houses around the hills was really unusual. It had a wonderful deck or patio that was outside the room and allowed you to sit and view the scenery. The room was nice as was the whole hotel. I would highly recommend it as a place for your Positano stay."
