Address
Via Cristoforo Colombo, 36 - Positano

An intimate 4 star hotel in the heart of Positano, Hotel L'Ancora is the stuff dream holidays are made of. On the one side, the shimmering blue sea and the islets of Li Galli; on the other, the historic center of Positano, which, with its colorful little houses stacked up against the rocks is, for many, the most enchanting of all those on Italy's legendary Amalfi Coast.

Choose the luxury made in Positano

Hotel L'Ancora's bedrooms and suites, each of which has its own balcony or terrace, enjoy magnificent views of the Bay of Positano. Spacious and filled with light, rooms are furnished in classic Mediterranean style and equipped with every comfort, from air conditioning to satellite television.

The perfect honeymoon hotel, L'Ancora has two "Special Suites" with large panoramic terrace and outdoor Jacuzzi from which the guests can enjoy a breathtaking view over Positano.

When not relaxing in the privacy of their rooms, guests might easily be found soaking up the sun on the nearby beaches of Spiaggia Grande or Fornillo, or heading off to explore the other beautiful towns on the Amalfi Coast.

Taste the paradise

Each morning, a mouth watering selection of traditional pastries and fresh fruit is served in Hotel L'Ancora's pretty breakfast room. During the day, snacks and refreshments are available on request.
For ice-creams, pizzas or a romantic dinner by the sea, the hotel recommends the Foyer Bar, Bistrot Pizzeria, and the restaurant of the Hotel Covo dei Saraceni, all of which grant discounts to customers staying at the Hotel L'Ancora.

Excellent service and brilliant location.

Incredible location with the best views, beautiful rooms and a nice breakfast buffet in a gorgeous outdoor terrace restaurant overlooking the beach and the town. The service was friendly and fast, and the communication was good as soon from the moment we booked. Bear in mind that there is no parking on site, no pool or access to a hot tub unless you book a room with a hot tub. We booked a standard double room but it had a comfy, firm bed, was freshly painted and had a great balcony with sun loungers and we were lucky enough to get an en-suite with a jacuzzi bath tub. The breakfast won't be the best thing you have ever tasted but it was a good spread. Overall I would definitely recommend the hotel, but it is in a very central spot so it will not be very quiet!

Perfektes Positano-Erlebnis

Unser Erlebnis in Positano war dank dieses Hotels genau so, wie wir uns es vorgestellt hatten - einfach märchenhaft. Die Junior Suite ist ein Traum, sehr geräumig und im charmanten antiken Stil der Region. Das absolute Highlight ist die Terrasse mit Jacuzzi. Der Ausblick von dort auf den Hang ist einmalig. Auch das Hotelrestaurant ist empfehlenswert - toller Ausblick und wirklich gutes Essen (was an der Amalfiküste nicht selbstverständlich ist). Einziger Kritikpunkt: Die Matratze war durchgelegen und das sollte in dieser Hotel- bzw. Preiskategorie nicht passieren. Besonders positiv hervorheben möchte ich, dass der Check-in eigentlich erst ab 13 Uhr möglich gewesen wäre aber da es unsere Flitterwochen waren, war das Zimmer schon kurz nach 11 Uhr für uns verfügbar, worüber wir uns irrsinnig gefreut haben. Insgesamt empfehlen wir das Hotel zu 100% weiter und wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder dort übernachten, sollten wir jemals wieder nach Positano kommen.

The staff was friendly and so helpful. The room was excellent for our family. We had a suite and we were 5 adults. Convient to everything we wanted. Restaurant staff was very friendly and the breakfast was included and robust with many choices. Would definitely stay there again.

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.
