Address
Via Cristoforo Colombo, 36 - Positano

On one side, the deep blue shades of the sea with the islets of Li Galli rising on the horizon; on the other, Positano, the "vertical" town where houses seem carved into the rock, forming one of the most enchanting scenes on the Amalfi Coast: this is Hotel L'Ancora, the 4-star boutique hotel for those seeking a holiday in the heart of Positano, sister property of Covo dei Saraceni. A family story that began seventy years ago and has been carried forward with pride across four generations.

A Privilege for Few

At Hotel L'Ancora, all 18 rooms and suites overlook the sea. Accommodations are divided into six categories: the Standard Room (16 sqm, with furnished terrace), the Patio Mediterraneo (20 sqm, with terrace and private Jacuzzi), the Classic (20 sqm, sea-view terrace), the Superior (25 sqm, balcony or sea-view terrace, up to 3 guests), the Junior Suite (30 sqm, with private Jacuzzi on the terrace), and the Family Junior Suite (45 sqm, up to 5 guests, with private Jacuzzi).

The interiors combine elegance and comfort, blending classic furnishings with typical coastal architectural elements, Positano style and modern comforts.

A vacation is also an occasion for small luxuries, like choosing a suite with a terrace Jacuzzi, combining the pleasure of a soak with the breathtaking view from Hotel L'Ancora...

For those who see a vacation as synonymous with the sea, it's just a short walk from the hotel to the Spiaggia Grande, Fornillo beach, or one of the many other beaches on the Amalfi Coast.

A Realm of Flavor

Each morning, a continental breakfast with fresh fruit and delicious local pastries is served, while light snacks are available throughout the day. For gelato, a limoncello, or dinner by the sea, the hotel recommends the Foyer Bar, the Bistrot Pizzeria and the Ristorante Panoramico, as well as the restaurant at sister hotel Covo dei Saraceni, where Hotel L'Ancora guests enjoy a special discount.

Tailor-Made Experiences

The hotel's Concierge service creates bespoke stays: from cooking classes, wine tastings, cocktail classes and pizza classes with the hotel's chefs, to guided treks, private boat tours to Capri and along the coast, to custom massages, a limoncello experience and a ceramics workshop.

What a fabulous hotel. Location is amazing. Close to ferry and shops. View spectacular. People so friendly and welcoming. Susie and Save were the best. Breakfast was superb. Room was nice and big with balcony (room 203). Valet for car. Everything was just the best. Some rooms have hot tubs. And if you want you can have breakfast served to you on your balcony. So romantic.

We absolutely LOVED our 4 night stay at this beautiful hotel!! The room was gorgeous, the view was spectacular, the food was delicious and the best part was the amazing staff who treated us like royalty. We also loved the location, which was only a ten minute walk up the hill. We were sad to leave this amazing hotel- highly recommend!!!

I didn't stay at the hotel so am only reviewing a meal I had during a short visit to Positiano. I managed to get a table overlooking the bay and the views truly are spectacular. The restaurant offered light bites so I chose the prawn tacos which were really nice with big prawns. I had a small bottle of Peroni beer which was €7 this was more than I'd paid for large bottles in most of the other places I'd visited but I wasn't expecting Positiano to be cheap. Cost €30 in total

Map

Hotel L'Ancora is the perfect choice if you're looking for a 4 star hotel in the heart of Positano. Just a few meters lie between the hotel and historic center, the Spiaggia Grande beach, and the sea. Although one of the most famous, Positano is not the only attraction on the Amalfi Coast, and the nearby towns of Amalfi, Ravello, Praiano, Conca dei Marini, Furore and Atrani are all more than worthy of visit. Equally unmissable, Sorrento, Naples and the island of Capri are all just a short car or boat ride away.
