Address
Via Marina Grande, 23 - Positano

Right on Positano's Spiaggia Grande, La Caravella is the perfect residence for those seeking a holiday on the Amalfi Coast built around relaxation, the sea, and beauty, not only in summer but also in autumn and winter. The property occupies a historic home which, since the early 1900s, has hosted notable families and artists of the era during the summer season.

Your Home in Positano

La Caravella Positano has 12 apartments just steps from the sea and the historic center of Positano, immersed in the lively atmosphere of the town, among shops and restaurants. There's something for every taste: some units have a fantastic sea view, like the Li Galli Rooms or the Vista Rooms, while others, like Edera, sit directly on Positano's Spiaggia Grande.
The decor reflects Mediterranean style and, above all, the motifs of the coast, with bright colors and typical ceramic floors.

The larger apartments also come complete with a kitchenette and can host up to six people. The terraces overlook the sea, and from them you can also access a stretch of private beach. The Sole apartment, on two levels, even has a lovely fireplace in the living room, while from the terrace of the Luna apartment you can admire the island of Li Galli, where, according to myth, Ulysses was tempted by the Sirens.

A Swim in the Sea, Then Up to Nocelle

Positano is the ideal destination for discovering the Amalfi Coast: not just the sea, with Spiaggia Grande and Fornillo, but also many trails offering a different view of the Divine Coast.
You could start, for example, by visiting Nocelle, the ancient village that until recently could only be reached via a path of 1,550 steps, or Montepertuso, the small town nestled in the Monti Lattari. Then perhaps return to the beach and be taken to one of the wonderful coves around Positano.

La Caravella offers its guests a range of services available on request and for a fee to make the stay even more relaxing and comfortable, such as a shuttle to the airport, station or port, or excursions along the Coast by land or aboard a private boat!

Not a great experience.

Not a great experience. When we arrived we were met with a room we did not book. We specifically booked a room with a large balcony and when I asked about it I was told by the manager over the phone that we didn’t book a large balcony and he just argued about it. We did have a very small balcony you could barely fit 2ppl on. After reading horror stories of other peoples experiences I decided to just take the room and move on. The room seemed nice enough and had a fantastic view. If that was the only issue I’d have rated it higher. Unfortunately there were other problems. There is a ton of mold in the shower. Like everywhere. The room smells of sewage. The bed feels like sleeping on a box spring without a mattress. The staff have loud early morning arguments and you can hear every word. Just overall not a good time. My suggestion is find somewhere else in Positano. I do have to add that I loved Rosa the desk agent. She’s certainly been around for a while and you can tell is a tough lady but she was very present to us.

A Wonderful Stay in the Heart of Positano

Our stay at La Caravella was absolutely wonderful. The location truly could not have been better. La Caravella is in a prime and incredibly convenient spot—close enough to enjoy everything Positano has to offer, while still feeling peaceful and quiet. We loved being able to walk out in the morning for coffee, pick up groceries, or simply wander through town. Having so much within walking distance made our stay incredibly easy and allowed us to really enjoy Positano. Our suite was clean, comfortable, and well cared for, and it was such a lovely place to call home during such a special trip. Mario was fantastic from beginning to end. His communication with me was consistent before and throughout our stay, which I greatly appreciated. He also helped oversee our transfers, and everything went perfectly with zero hiccups. Traveling internationally for our elopement came with a lot of moving pieces, so having someone so responsive and dependable made a huge difference. Rosa, Clara, and Manuel were at the property during our stay and were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were available whenever we needed anything while still allowing us the privacy to enjoy our time together. La Caravella gave us the perfect combination of location, convenience, peace, and genuine hospitality. Positano will always hold a very special place in our hearts because it is where we celebrated our elopement, and La Caravella will forever be part of those memories. We would absolutely recommend La Caravella and would happily stay here again.

Extremely Disappointing Experience At La Caravella di positano

1
Oct 1, 2026
Our experience with La Caravella di Positano was extremely disappointing, particularly when it came to communication, responsibility, and customer service. After checking out, we realized that we had accidentally left a phone underneath the pillow in our room. This was not just a personal device; it was extremely important to our business. We immediately contacted the property by email, explaining the situation and asking for their assistance in locating and recovering it. Unfortunately, our emails were ignored, and despite making approximately 50 attempts to call, we were unable to get a response or any meaningful assistance. What made the experience even more frustrating was the transportation arrangement for our departure. We had paid approximately €180 in advance for a taxi to Naples Airport, as we had an early morning flight to catch. We had also specifically requested porter assistance and were assured by the property that everything had been arranged. Despite these assurances, the taxi arrived approximately 30 minutes late. We had not been provided with the driver’s contact details or any direct information about the transportation provider beforehand, despite requesting these details in advance. When the taxi was late, we had no reliable way to contact the driver or resolve the situation quickly, leaving us under unnecessary stress before an important flight. The combination of the delayed, prepaid transportation, the lack of coordination, and the complete absence of follow-up regarding our missing phone has left us deeply dissatisfied. What concerns us most is not simply that things went wrong, but that the property has seemingly chosen not to respond or take accountability after receiving payment and after we repeatedly attempted to contact them. The entire experience raised serious concerns about the transparency and reliability of their arrangements.

Good property, great location, VERY DIFFICULT to deal with

Amazing location and good value, but VERY difficult to deal with. On arrival, we were redirected to a sister property of La Caravella. While it was nice and they gave us a decent room, it was located up in the hills—which was exactly what we had tried to avoid. We specifically chose La Caravella because we wanted to stay directly on the beach. Unfortunately, dealing with the staff was incredibly frustrating. At one point, I ordered two Aperol Spritzes. After waiting 45 minutes, I was handed two bottled cocktails that appeared to have come from the store next door—and then charged €50 for them. Ridiculous. To their credit, they moved us to the correct property the following afternoon. However, between the confusion, moving properties and dealing with the situation, we essentially lost a day of our vacation. Once we were finally settled at La Caravella, our experience changed completely. The location is fantastic, being right on the beach in Positano is exactly what we wanted, and we ultimately had a great time. If the arrival and service issues had been handled better, our review would have been very different. The property itself offers an incredible location and good value—the management and guest experience simply need improvement.

Map

La Caravella is located at Via Marina Grande 23, right on Positano's Spiaggia Grande, the beating heart of town. From here, it's just a few steps to the historic center, with its lanes, boutiques and traditional restaurants, and to the dock for boats and hydrofoils heading to Capri, Amalfi and other towns along the Coast. The Circumvesuviana train station and the port are within easy walking distance, while Praiano, Furore and Amalfi are just a few minutes away by car or bus. The Path of the Gods and the hillside villages of Nocelle and Montepertuso make for an ideal excursion for guests staying at La Caravella.
