Just want to endorse what other reviewers have said about this wonderful hotel. Our room on the first floor had a large terrace where we could eat breakfast and sunbathe and it was very well fitted out and even had a slight smell of paint as the whole floor had just been renovated. I'd swear we were the first people... More

We stayed 1 night at the Buca di Bacco & all of the comments on here about the location, staff & service are spot on! The resort itself though we found over-rated. We are here on honeymoon & moving around the Amalfi coast visiting different places. Yes, Positano is beautiful but expensive and packed with tourists, many of whom are... More

This hotel just gets better and better! I have stayed at the Buca on several occasions and love it. The owners are charming hosts,the rooms beautiful, the position on the beach is wonderul and the view from the restaurant must be the best in Positano. Don't hesitate - go!

This is a good hotel if you want to be centrally located. Because it is close to the beach it does not offer the panoramic views as other properties situated higher up, but its advantage is that it is well placed to walk to the beach and ferries, as well as being amongst the shops and restaurants. The bus stops... More

Not! Wow, what a property! We got lucky with light seas and caught a ferry from Salerno after an Italo train ride from Rome. What a gorgeous ride along the Amalfi Coast! Arrived at about 3:30. Having not been to Positano before, I walked to the hotel and left my family and bags at the dock. Within two seconds of... More

Everything about this hotel was A+...the service, cleanliness, value, location. Plus, it is right on the beach with tremendous views. The staff is very attentive and helpful, the rooms are very large and have beautiful bathrooms, and the second story restaurant is excellent. If you go, be certain to ask for a porter as it is quite far down from... More

Based on the other reviews of this hotel I don't think I need to say a whole lot more other than adding my two cents worth of "Awesome".

Overall, this was a nice hotel. The location was amazing (right on the beach) and the room was nice although a bit small. The bathroom was very nice with a shower tub combo. The reason I won't give it 5 stars is 1. It's impossible to get to the first time and their website does nothing to mention it or... More

The hotel is in an unbeatable location (great view) and staff is really, really nice and helpful. Room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The hotel restaurant is good, especially if you get a table in the more exclusive upper terrace. I only wish the hotel had let us know that it is not reachable by car.
