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.

This hotel is very comfortable and has a great view and value. Vincenzo at the front desk always wore a smile, and Susie and I shared many conversations. These two made me feel so welcomed. Is this hotel the peak of luxury in Positano? No but it was clean, affordable, welcoming, beautiful view, great location, solid breakfast delivered to your room daily included.
