Address
Via Regina Giovanna, 5 - Positano

Some hotels on the Amalfi Coast capture its essence perfectly in their colors, atmosphere, scents, and elegance. Covo dei Saraceni, the 5-star hotel in Positano, is one of these, set directly on the Spiaggia Grande: the only 5-star hotel with direct access to the Marina Grande beach and pier, without having to tackle the town's iconic uphill climbs.

Since 1956, Covo dei Saraceni has been much more than a hotel: it is the keeper of a tradition that belongs to Positano. Born as the home of Clemente Savino, a coral merchant and fearless traveler, the property has evolved over the decades from a small inn into a landmark of international hospitality. Today, the third generation of the Savino family preserves the authentic spirit of that home. The hotel is a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts.

All the Light of Positano

Like an elegant Mediterranean home: this is the feeling you get stepping into the hotel's rooms and suites. The interiors reflect the light of the Mediterranean through the skillful use of Vietri majolica and glazed terracotta. Every accommodation is a private loggia facing the bay of Positano, from the Classic Room (23-27 sqm, romantic sea-view balcony) to the Junior Suite Deluxe (36-40 sqm, with a mini pool on the sea-facing terrace or a sea-view jacuzzi in the room), up to the exclusive Suite Incanto (125 sqm, sea-view terrace with private mini pool).

On the fifth floor, two infinity pools overlook the bay of Positano: away from the crowds, an unexpected oasis of calm where you can enjoy the sun and attentive service, in an exclusive atmosphere that guarantees relaxation and absolute privacy.

Good Food for Every Taste

A holiday on the Amalfi Coast must rhyme with good flavors and traditional cuisine. It's no coincidence, then, that Covo dei Saraceni is also a paradise for food lovers, with a culinary offering that explores the territory across four distinct venues. Savino Restaurant, the historic heart of the hotel, serves contemporary Positano cuisine inspired by the day's catch on its sea-view terrace; Cala Marinai Brasserie, set on the beach, is the realm of genuine Neapolitan pizza and delicious dishes by the sea; La Coquille Cocktail Bar, a white lounge suspended between the lobby and the beach, is the place for an aperitif with signature cocktails and tapas; and Volavento Restaurant & Bar, next to the fifth-floor pools, serves fresh dishes and craft cocktails beneath elegant pergolas, with the bar open until sunset.

The hotel's Concierge service creates tailor-made stays: from cooking and pizza classes with the Covo's chefs to tastings in the hotel's wine cellar, from ceramics and limoncello workshops to guided hikes along the coast.

Best located 5 star hotel in Positano

Without doubt this hotel enjoys the best position in Positano. My wife and I had a Junior Suite with Terrace and enjoyed looking out at the comings and goings of the numerous ferries and boats as well as the lovely view of Positano and the. coast. The food and service were faultless. There was only one small complaint which was the bathroom was very old fashioned and in need of refurbishment but, to be fair, it did function. Would highly recommend and return.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The hotel was beautiful. Gorgeous views on our huge balcony overlooking the beach and ocean as well as the buildings built into the cliff. Staff were so nice and even delivered us a complimentary bottle of prosecco after we checked in. Perfect location for beach, boat excursions, shopping, great restaurants and romantic evenings. Highly recommend!!!

First Trip to Positano

Our first visit to Positano, and we’re officially hooked! This hotel is absolutely perfect—the location is unbeatable, and you truly can’t beat the views. Having a private balcony overlooking both the sparkling ocean and the piazza made our stay even more special. We loved starting our day having a cappuccino and croissants looking over the water. The hotel also offers special activities. We did a canvas painting of the famous scenery: the cliffs, buildings, and water view from our hotel. It was a special experience, and very intimate with just us and our instructor—a special souvenir we have now up in our home. A huge thank you to Rosario at the bar, whose service was wonderful, but whose genuine hospitality was truly unmatched. He made us feel so welcome and was one of the highlights of our stay. We also have to mention Savino, the hotel’s restaurant. It is seriously underrated! The food was delicious, and the chef was incredible, sending out dish after dish for us to try. Our dinner was absolutely unforgettable and, honestly, unmatched. I have a feeling that in the coming years, more and more people will discover Savino and it will be nearly impossible to get a table! For our first time in Positano, we couldn’t have picked a better place. We’re already looking forward to coming back and staying here for years to come. 🍋💛
