Buca di Bacco

We booked Buca di Bacco directly 10 months in advance and splurged on an ocean view room on the 5th floor—it was absolutely worth it! The view was stunning, and the location is perfect: just a 3-minute walk from the Positano ferry dock if you’re arriving from Salerno or Sorrento, and situated at the base of the town for easy access. The room was clean and perfect, with excellent housekeeping. They provide four bottles of water, and the minibar drinks are included. As a personal touch for a high-end property like theirs, I would love to see a fruit plate or baked goods offered upon arrival. Breakfast was included and served daily on the terrace, featuring a fantastic spread of fresh baked goods, fresh juices, and unlimited coffee and tea. As a direct booking perk, we received two complimentary glasses of wine at the terrace bar (5–6 PM) and one day of complimentary beach chairs and umbrella—towels were provided in a beach bag. We also enjoyed two meals at the hotel’s restaurant, receiving a 10% discount for booking directly. For luggage, we carried our own bags on arrival (good workout!), though porter service is available for €15 per bag. On departure, if using a private shuttle from Mandara Garage (mid-hill), arranging a porter is essential, costing €20 per bag at night. The front desk was very helpful in coordinating this. Overall, the hotel’s location, room, and food were excellent. Perfect for couples who want to stay at the base of Positano, close to the ferry, with easy access to the town and beaches. Book well in advance to get the best rates!

This hotel is definitely a 5 star experience. It is pricey but if you are splurging to go to Positano it’s worth it. From the high quality service, breakfast, rooms, it’s all top notch with a special attention to detail. I highly recommend this hotel and it’s right on Spiaggia Grande as an added bonus

Nice hotel situated right in the main area of Positano. Breakfast was good. Rooms are nice. The staff at the front desk could do better. No clear guidance on how to work with the porters or where to meet them or where to get picked up or dropped off. The lady behind the counter doesn’t even listen and was just talking over without clarity. Communication and customer service is key and this hotel has the right potential with training their staff.

Lugar lindo. Ótimo atendimento. Mesmo sem falar italiano, fui perfeitamente compreendida. Comida muito boa e preço ok, considerando Positano.
