We did not opt for breakfast, but the first morning the staff brought us tea and juice. Carlo was a patient and encouraging teacher for our Italian. Carlo and his staff of helpers were warm, welcoming, and enthusiastic about making us comfortable and giving us tips about Positano. This pensione was exactly the type of accommodation we wanted in Positano for a reasonable price – a room with a private terrace overlooking the sea. The sheer beauty and dramatic scenery is to die for, and you can easily take a day trip to the other areas. If you’re deciding between staying in Capri, the Amalfi Coast or Positano, I’d choose Positano. other than that, no other major attractions that we were aware of. Some say it’s not worth it, but I think it’s worth the experience as you’re already there! We also visited Amalfi, Amalfi and found Villa Rufolo’s gardens to be absolutely beautiful.
You’re in the grotto for 2-3 minutes, and the water is as electric blue as seen in google images! It costs 14 euros for the transfer and another 10 euro for the grotto entrance. The transfer boat holds approximately 30 people and takes you to the grotto area, you then transfer into a wooden rowboat that holds 4-5 people. It was a neat experience, but if you get sea sick be sure to take gravol beforehand. We visited Capri and did the Blue Grotto. If you’re planning to visit other areas/islands on the coast be sure to take an earlier ferry, as the last ferry back is typically 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. Beach chairs cost 10-30 euros/person depending on which area you choose to sit, or you can opt to sit on the stone area at no cost, but be sure to bring a towel to sit/lay on. The beach is a 20 minute walk and gets very crowded by noon. Unfortunately one small downside (if you’re a late nighter) is that there is a 1:30 a.m. Music on the Rocks (a small club) was a lot of fun if you’re a party animal and enjoy local and top 40 music. We especially loved Antonio, as he provided us with lots of information about Positano and the coast. Overall Carlo and his staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are quite basic (bed, washroom, and fridge), but that’s all you really need as you’ll likely spend majority of your time exploring.
Carlo’s staff took care of our laundry at no additional charge and delivered it to our room, which I found to be very nice. The bus stop (yes there’s a bus!) is also a 2 minute walk from the pensione, and loops around every 10-15 mins. There are great restaurants within 2-5 mins walking distance, as well as a convenient store. The location is great and offers a beautiful view of Positano and the sea from the balconies and terrace. We had a pleasant stay at Pensione Maria-Luisa.
