“Lovely stay with family”

It is always challenging to find accomodations for our family of 6, especially in Europe, so we were excited to find the apartment at the Albergo Miramare.

It is always challenging to find accomodations for our family of 6, especially in Europe, so we were excited to find the apartment at the Albergo Miramare. We spent several delightful days there in July 2025 and it exceeded our high expectations. The rooms were beautifully decorated and well appointed, and there were gorgeous views from the master bedroom and the large terrace where we ended up spending a lot of our time. The hotel is well situated on the lower part of the Positano hills - while there are stairs to climb to get to the hotel from the main part of the town and beach, we found them very manageable and part of the Positano experience. At several points other travelers commented how lucky we were to be staying at that location as we entered the hotel and they continued their upward climb to places higher up. The breakfast buffet was delicious with varied options and served in a beautiful room overlooking the harbor. The staff was unfailingly polite and helpful, often anticipating our needs. Overall, a wonderful stay! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we return to Positano.

“Special Hotel in Positano!”

We stayed 5 nights in this beautiful hotel in Positano, Italy! We were celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary and the concierge, Carmela and Angela, upgraded our room from Deluxe Double to the Junior Suite, which was a very nice surprise! They also left Prosecco and a welcome snack in our room upon arrival! The room was immaculate and cleaned daily! They left chocolates on our nightstands! The view from the room, balcony and bathroom was gorgeous! There was also another window in the bathroom that looked up towards the mountain. The room decor was lovely and had beautiful tile. The hotel is located about halfway between the Main Street and the beach. Lots of stairs, but we managed fine. We enjoyed staying at this height for the awesome views! Be sure to call ahead and schedule porter service for your luggage. It was 15 Euro per bag when we were there. The hotel restaurant, La Scalinatella, served a daily buffet breakfast with so many delectable items to choose from, including Mimosas! We ate in the restaurant one night to celebrate our anniversary with a beautiful window seat! The food was delicious! We had the fresh catch and it was prepared at our table to remove the bones and placed on our plates. They prepared a special dessert for us with writing on it regarding our anniversary! I highly recommend planning a dinner here! Carmela and the entire staff were very friendly and accommodating! Thank you to all for helping our anniversary trip of a lifetime be more special!!!

“Lovely stay”

We enjoyed our stay at Albergo Miramare. Some small details could have made a difference however, e.g., there are plugs by both sides of the bed but both are Italian plug sockets, not the standard EU sockets so our adapters wouldn’t work here. There was no full length mirror in the whole room, the … more

We enjoyed our stay at Albergo Miramare. Some small details could have made a difference however, e.g., there are plugs by both sides of the bed but both are Italian plug sockets, not the standard EU sockets so our adapters wouldn’t work here. There was no full length mirror in the whole room, the only mirror being in the bathroom. We had a huge balcony but this overlooked the pathway, whereas we thought our room would be seafront, especially as that is what we had paid for and what was shown in the images on Booking.com. I wish the images on the hotel sites were reflective of the actual room types. The breakfast was great, and the staff were really friendly.

“Great location but at a price”

Choosing a hotel in Positano comes down to three things: price, view, and how many steps you are willing to climb.

Choosing a hotel in Positano comes down to three things: price, view, and how many steps you are willing to climb. The Hotel Miramare gets many things right- our room had a beautiful balcony overlooking the marina and sea, and the breakfast room has a spectacular seaside view as well, plus the included breakfast is very good. The hotel is above the harbor, slightly below the midpoint of the town. That means that there will be a lot of steps going back and forth to excursions at the port and to restaurants around town, but far less steps than if you stayed up near the top of the town. Steps here are no joke, much more strenuous than hill towns in Umbria or Tuscany, so location in town is a major consideration. Finally, Miramare is expensive- we paid over $1000 a night in June, but there are plenty of hotels here in Positano that charge $2000-$3000 a night or more in season. The staff was very professional and friendly, and using the porters are essential in getting your luggage to and from the hotel, as the hotel is not close to car access. Is it a $1000 a night a hotel? Elsewhere, definitely not, but in Positano, probably yes. We would definitely stay here again, but we also understand that when you decide to stay in Positano, a consideration like value more or less goes out the window.
