Via Cristoforo Colombo, 77 - Positano

Mediterranean lifestyle: this is the perfect synthesis of Casa Buonocore, a guest house that has managed to blend the elegance of an ancient 17th-century villa in the heart of Positano with the welcoming feel of a home on the Amalfi Coast. The property has welcomed guests since the 1950s, when Mamma Erminia opened its doors to the first American visitors to the Amalfi Coast; after years as the Buonocore family's holiday home, it was restored in 2012 by Sandra, Nino and Annamaria Buonocore and transformed into today's intimate 9-room guest house.

Your Home in Positano

At Casa Buonocore, everything is simply perfect! With its boutique hotel atmosphere, it's a true little gem. The care that went into the decor is remarkable, from an antique door repurposed as a mirror to an old stool used as a nightstand.

The rooms are like small suites, with a slightly retro yet familiar feel that makes you feel right at home.

Every room has a balcony or a small terrace, while the superior and deluxe rooms also have a small sitting area overlooking the center of Positano.

Breakfast Your Way

Unlike many guest houses, breakfast at Casa Buonocore is delivered directly to your room, in a basket filled with fresh products, pastries and orange juice made from fruit grown in the garden: enjoy it at your own pace, whenever and however you like, in complete privacy.

The rest of the day revolves around the terrace, perfect for an aperitif after a day at the beach or exploring the Amalfi Coast, or for enjoying warm summer evenings among Mediterranean plants and the soft glow of antique lanterns.

An afternoon at home? The library with a view over Positano keeps you company...

Steps from Spiaggia Grande

If you've chosen Positano for your vacation, it's clear you love the sea, the beach and the Amalfi Coast sunshine. And finding a guest house like Casa Buonocore just steps from Spiaggia Grande is pretty much the ideal solution.

Not only that: beyond the beaches, you're also right in the heart of Positano, among the lanes and alleyways that will charm you at every turn. For guests with luggage, a porter service makes climbing the 70 steps to the entrance easy, while those arriving by car can use the partner garage just a few meters from the property.

Casa Buonocore - Positanos Best Stay!

Our stay at Casa Buonocore was truly exceptional and one of the best accommodation experiences we have had in all our travels around the world. The location is perfect, with an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, and everything Positano has to offer. Despite being so close to everything, the property feels peaceful and relaxing. The staff were absolutely gorgeous — warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive throughout our stay. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Breakfast each morning was divine. The quality and presentation were outstanding, and the level of service was incredible, with attentive staff ensuring every guest was looked after. The décor throughout the property is stunning, with beautiful details that create an elegant and authentic atmosphere. Every space feels thoughtfully designed and immaculately maintained. Casa Buonocore is one of the best places we have ever stayed, and it made our time in Positano even more special. We would not hesitate to recommend it and hope to return one day.

Absolutely amazing hotel with the friendliest staff! Breakfast is really good and there is a water station and coffee station you can use throughout your stay. Our room was really lovely, lots of space and the terrace was massive with 2 sun loungers and a seating area with amazing views! There was also a complimentary mini bar to use in the room which was restocked each day. Would definitely recommend and would 100% stay here again if coming back to Positano.

Map

In the heart of Positano, just a 5 minute stroll away from the main Spiaggia Grande' beach and the maze of little cobbled streets which characterize this picturesque seaside town, 'Guest House Casa Buonocore lies within easy reach of all of the town's colorful little shops, restaurants and pavement cafes.

Positano provides a great base from where to explore the rest of Italy's spectacular Amalfi Coast. Praiano, Furore, Conca dei Marini, Amalfi and Atrani are all just a short (and incredibly scenic!) car, bus, or boat ride away!
