Address
Via Rampa Teglia, 4 - Positano

Dating back to the early 1900's, Buca di Bacco is one of the oldest establishments in Positano. When Buca di Bacco first opened its doors to visitors travelling along the Amalfi Coast, it was in the form of simple tavern in which to enjoy delicious local food and wine.

A favourite port of call for the intellectuals and artists who "discovered" Positano at the start of the 20th century, over the decades Buca di Bacco was gradually enlarged so as to provide not only excellent food but charming accommodation too.

Antique writing desks, sweeping drapes, floors laid with the colorful, hand-painted majolica tiles from Vietri, bathrooms in precious marble and glorious sun-kissed terraces: Hotel Buca di Bacco's rooms recall the classic Mediterranean elegance of the area's most luxurious coastal villas, combined with the technology and services of a Grand Hotel.

The food prepared by Anna (ably assisted by her niece, Carla) is just as delicious as that once prepared by her grandparents: traditional dishes, made with only the very freshest, locally sourced ingredients, to be accompanied by a glass or two of Bacchus's favourite beverage. Entertaining, hands-on cooking lessons are available, on request.

Great family holiday in a lovely hotel in one of the most beautiful places

Perfectly located beautiful hotel in one of the most picturesque places I’ve ever stayed. We had a junior suite for family of four and it was perfect for us, good size with the most amazing view overlooking the beach and also the cliffs around us. Breakfast was lovely, sat on a terrace above the beach overlooking everything, the most perfect setting. All staff are super friendly I can’t recommend this place highly enough. We will definitely be back at some time.

A Perfect Return to Paradise — Even Better Than Before!

My husband and I recently returned from the most amazing vacation in Positano, and we are still glowing from the experience. We first visited this breathtaking village 22 years ago, and it left such a lasting impression that we knew we had to return. We stayed once again at Hotel Buca di Bacco, and we are thrilled to say that our second visit was every bit as magical, if not more so, than the first. Our room was absolutely lovely, with a spectacular view of the ocean. One of the highlights was the private terrace, complete with a table and chairs and two loungers, where we spent hours simply soaking in the beauty and tranquility of the Amalfi Coast. Each morning began with a beautiful breakfast buffet, served on a charming terrace overlooking the water. It was the perfect way to start the day: delicious food, fresh air, and that unforgettable view. We were especially fortunate to be there during a full moon. From the comfort of our bed, we could see its soft light shimmering over the sea. It was an incredibly romantic and unforgettable sight. The staff at Buca di Bacco were exceptional. From management to housekeeping, everyone we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. It’s rare to find a team so consistently kind and attentive. Returning to Buca di Bacco after more than two decades felt like coming home. We are so grateful that it exceeded our already high expectations. We will treasure this experience and hope to return again soon. Positano, and this wonderful hotel, will always have our hearts.

We spent 3 days here and recommend this gem of a hotel in Positano. Boutique style with only 47 rooms the attention to each guest goes far and beyond. Special mention to Fernanda for her assistance with getting us to the hotel and arranging our transportation. All front desk team members were amazing with ensuring we were well take care of. Grazie Mille.

Excellent hotel for beach access

This hotel is in a prime location- one flight of stairs up from the beach. With all the stairs in Positano, being able to get from the beach to our room in 2 minutes was incredible. The included breakfast was great and we enjoyed it every day in the outdoor dining area. The only downside was the air conditioning- it requires the room key to be in the room, so it is off all day while you are gone- with the summer weather in Italy, the room was sweltering when we got back every day!
