We loved the view from out bed and breakfast. It was quiet and relaxing. The hostess Anna is AMAZING! She helped book our taxis, reservations to resturants and shuttles to the resturants recommended by the b&b. She always let us know when pur car service was there. Breakfast is included here. They offer lunch which you pay for when you check out. The food was delicious and homemade. The mini fridge is fully stocked with water, soda, beer, wine, prosecco, limoncello, orange juice and aperol spritz. Whatever you drink from there you also pay at checkout but the prices are pretty affordable. We can get to a beach straight from the b&b you have to walk down about 200 steps but its beautiful and people pay 600,000 Euros to go there. You're about 18-20min walk from the Positano main area. There are many shops and restaurants thatare delicious. We tried 2 out of the 4 resturants recommended from the b&b which were also amazing...La Gabrisa and Da Constatino. We also ate at La Combusa and Don Giovanni which were also amazing. The b&b also provides beach towels for 5,00 euros which was amazing. She

Very nice property. As in all of Positano, many stairs to reach the beach area. Staff was very helpful. As it is about 20 min walk outside Positano and far from restaurants, I highly recommend using the free dinner shuttle that La Maliosa has with 3 different restaurants. The restaurants are all pricey in this area, but you do not want to add on 2 one-way fares for taxi service which can be 30-35Euro each way. Taxi service is very expensive in this area and bus service is completely overcrowded. For a quiet get away in a beautiful area, La Maliosa is a very good bed and breakfast.

The room was small for the price we paid, it said sleep 4 but definitely max 3 people can make it. The area outside is full of mosquitoes and the breakfast is served only from 7:30 to 9:30, we hurried to have breakfast and 2 of the boiled eggs we opened where completely rotten.

The hotel itself is a bit far away from the main part of Positano, it’s above Treville actually as we saw the water taxis below. Host Anna was amazing and greeted us upon arrival. She was so lovely and helped us with booking cars during a busy high season (which was needed to get back/forth from town approx $30-40 p ride), helped us speak to local restaurants about reservations and also was just awesome in general. We used a local boat company she recommended for our private boat tour. We did not interface much with other staff but they were also friendly enough. Anna was our main person we felt connected with and she was also the friendliest. The hotel itself is charming but definitely a more on the dated side. The fountains on the grounds did not work, the lounge chairs did not have any cushions or covers on them. For hotel rooms the pillows could use a replacement as the batting inside was matted and not fluffy (which is why some friends I know being their own pillows on trips) and same with the bedding and sheets. Everything was super clean though and the inclusive breakfast spread was lovely. After we checked out they said we owed a 3euro pp charge per day (asked for us to pay in cash) which is not much but it would have been great for that to be charged when we booked? So what we would have left is just any incidentals? We wanted to share a tip with Anna directly at check-out for being so helpful during our stay but we didn’t see her prior to our 6:30am car pick up.

The highlight of this property are the views and the hotel grounds! Breakfast views and views from the front of the room are extraordinary. Staff is very kind. Room is pretty basic and you can often hear neighbors but I really didn’t mind. It was a unique stay. It is a bit out of town from Positano (which I liked for the peacefulness). It’s about a 30 min walk to the harbor and 15-20 mins of that is on some hairpin turn roads thst can be a bit scary to walk on because of the close cars if you’re not used to it (all the locals do it though). Only thing I didn’t like was that there were no instructions for the safe and when I asked I was given the code to open it but couldn’t customize the code which kind of defeats the purpose. The property felt extremely safe however

The place isn’t horrible but you are a 30 minute walk from Positano and the rooms are pretty small and not anything special. You’re walking on a busy road with cars flying by you on a giant cliff. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Do you like rude people and terrible views?
I'm writing this review a day later because I needed time to process how bad it was! To start off, we arrive on scooters and call the call box; a man answers and states we have to pay 10 euros to get our bags down...huh? I told him we weren't parking and he kept saying to move our scooters if we weren't gonna keep them there...all while we were getting our bags off the scooters. Check in was nice, they gave us a very refreshing peach tea to go along with the wrong room. We got a triple room (rated 3.4/10) instead of a double (rated 10/10) even though we booked a double. Then we asked to move and he laughed at me saying that we should be grateful for the extra bed. Also he said the pictures under the double room were actually just hotel pictures when we inquired why the views look way different than the photo. I guess the third bed was for the bugs and lizards which roomed with us.... hotels.com tried to fix it by calling and couldn't so they refunded; we got on with our day. The grounds were decent, nothing like the photos but pretty cute place. We got a strange knock on our door at 10:11am saying we have to leave now because they need the room. Checkout is at 10:30am (which is a terrible time anyways), why harass us before that? Finally we went to check out and pay the tax and he calculated it wrong (angry about hotels.com calling them much?) asking me for €30 instead of 16. I helped him with the math and he wanted all my cash (€10) and 6 on my credit card.

The place is great in every aspect. Location is very good, close to the city centre but not too close to get the traffic and movement of it. Not far enough to need to get the car every time you're going to Positano. Staff is one of a kind, very very friendly and welcoming to people from every nationality. The view is amazing and the room is very good.

Dreadful
Overpriced - out of season, got the impression they couldn’t be bothered! All other hotels, even through COVID, kept restaurants open for guests - here NOTHING. Breakfast was a joke- two packs of pre-packed dried bread and two mini pots of jam, and a mug of coffee. WiFi wasn’t switched on - the whole experience was dreadful - to the extent that even though I have another paid booking - I won’t be going back. Don’t need to do this to myself - horrendous place.

Too expensive, too narrow room
The hotel was not bad and located just aside the road from Positano to Amalfi. Positano is within walking distance of 20 min. 1. Room space: very bad. My family of three reserved quadruple room by Hotels.com. However, the space of quadruple room was the same as one of triple room, obviously different from the photo showed in Hotels.com site. The photo of quadruple room was exactly the same as that of the triple room. So, I appealed to the manager two times with showing the photo of the room I reserved at the hotels.com site. The manager said that the photo was different from real room. It means the photo was fake. The hotel gave one more extra bed into triple room. 2. breakfast: very poor. the bread quality was very low, even no sausage no ham. only boiled egg and slice cheese. Clearly, it needs to upgrade. 3. bath room: very narrow. 4. veiw: good. You can see the sunset of the Mediterranean at your room. 5. amenities: very bad. there was no grocery store and no restaurant except mini bar in the room. As a conclusion, this property is too expensive in the point of its value. Clearly, it need to be down graded.

We really enjoyed our stay here, however, it is quite far from town. If you have heavy luggage you need to carry them down a lot of steps to get to your room. The room we had was very nice and clean with a beautiful ocean view. The owners are very friendly and nice. The breakfast buffet every morning was a nice perk.
