Waking up to the sound of gentle waves and the sight of the shimmering sea in all shades of blue – Hotel Pupetto was nothing short of magical. Our room overlooked the water, where the sea danced from pale turquoise to deep navy, and the view never got old. The location is absolutely ideal. Just a short 5–6 minute walk from the port along a breathtaking cliffside path, and you find yourself right on Fornillo Beach – quieter, less crowded, and truly serene. We swam in the sea every day; it feels cold at first but you adjust quickly, and it becomes pure bliss. Breakfast was classic Italian – simple and fresh. Hotel Pupetto is peaceful, authentic, and gently tucked away from the tourist crowds, yet close enough to everything. If you're looking for that perfect blend of comfort, nature, and Positano’s quiet charm – this is it.

This was our favorite hotel we stayed in during our 2 week trip to Italy. Positano crowds are insance and this was a perfect retreat from the madness. Easy to get to from the port if you take a ferry. They have a porter service for no additional charge that makes it very convenient to get your bags to and from the port. Pupetto also has it's own beach club on Fornillo beach which we loved and felt more exclusive. As a guest you get the discounted rate, which is totally worth it. Much better beach than the chaotic Spiaggia Grande. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and accommodating. Nice view from the second floor looking over the beach and bay. They have a great restaurant where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with a beautiful view of the water. Especially liked the "Pupetto" pizza. Would recommend to anyone who needs a fab 3 star hotel in Positano without overpaying or feeling claustrophobic.

Perfect. No issues.

The Big plus for this hotel was that it is right on the beach. All rooms open to the beach and Sea. The open air restaurant and vine/flower covered patio areas are also open to the sea view on the upper level and a lunch type quick service restaurant is below. The staff from front desk to service personal to beach chair guys and porters are all excellent. English is generally understood but please remember it is their second language. Room was spacious with comfortable beds and pillows. in an odd design the shower is not in the bathroom but part of the bedroom area with shower door open to the bed. Do note access to hotel is only available by walking down 400 plus steps (no exaggeration) the same steps you must go up although you can use and elevator of a neighboring hotel to cut out about 150 steps if it's working. You can arrange with the hotel to have porters bring your bags up and down. We drove in from Rome and used a parking garage the hotel arranged. A pretty good buffet style breakfast was included with our stay that scrambled eggs, sausages, breakfast meats, fruits, and a choice of about 15 different pastries some that changed each day. We did eat a dinner at the Hotel was was not disappointed with pricing reasonable. You can walk from the Hotel to the main Beach and lower area of the town for shopping by way of a sloping path, both up and down, with about 20 stairs at the end in about 15 minutes. Anything other than along the main beach you need to climb an uncountable number of steps in every direction. Anyone with mobility issues will have extreme difficulties.

The beach is not a sand beach like you find most everywhere in the US. Instead it is round rocky stones and pebbles of various sizes making water shoes or sandals a must. That also true over at the main beach. As with many resorts there is a fee for use of 2 lounge chairs and umbrella - 30 Euros a day (9am-6pm) or 40 Euro's if you want front row. There is waiter service for drinks and food. As stated earlier if you have mobility issues, from bad knees to shortness of breath to physical handicaps you will be challenged if you wish to get around.

I cannot stress enough how AMAZING this hotel was. I want to give a special thanks to Magda, she coordinated for us to help us solve an issue that came up with so much kindness, compassion, and helped me feel so much better and in good hands. I absolutely loved this place. The view from the room was an absolute dream, and the location was so incredible for us because we did not want to be in a loud area but wanted to be close to main Positano. It was a 20 min walk to the main beach, but this place was so amazing you almost didn’t even want to leave. The food at the restaurant was top-notch, and the wine selection, amazing. As another plus we are a gay couple and felt absolutely safe and at no point “othered” by staff, which does happen in other parts of Italy. Overall I cannot recommend this place enough. I just wished I stayed there longer.

Such a charming hotel on the beach, only a short walk to the center of town. Our room was large and very clean. The hotel recommended a parking garage for us to leave our car overnight and also sent their porters to carry our luggage down hundreds of stairs (and then UP when we checked out). The hotel even told us how to cut through another hotel to utilize their elevator to save many flights of steps. Their al fresco restaurant is lovely, and dinner was delicious. Unlike some of the other hotels in Positano, this one was reasonably priced. I highly recommend.

Nothing

A wonderful stay at Pupetto hotel. We had a sea view room with a balcony and absolutely loved the proximity to the beach, we could hear the water from our room. If you want a Positano hotel without stairs, this hotel is perfect. We are 26 so it only took us 5 minutes to walk to Positano town each morning. We stayed four nights and used the beach and the beach club restaurant. Hotel residents receive a discount on the beach chairs. The restaurant is exceptional. We are usually one to venture out for dinners but we had dinner twice at the hotel restaurant. The food was exquisite, pricey - but worth it and the restaurant staff were kind and accomodating. Breakfast was wonderful, I love the different pastries they had each morning. Thank you to the front desk for organising our Vespa hire and the porters for their assistance with our luggage’s.

Had seen this Hotel on previous trips , always wanted to stay here , used to look a bit tired but absolutely immaculate and our room was lovely as was the balcony . stroll down some stairs to the beach and enjoyed the beach cafe and sun-beds which were discounted price.Easy and pleasant walk into Positano centre . Easy to get to the boats to take you elsewhere. breakfast was good and staff were really excellent friendly and so helpful , it felt like nothing was too much trouble especially reception. They also provide beach towels which was great.

Dinner menu was quite specialised we are vegetarians so not much choice .

View is incredible one of the best you'll ever wake up too, Beach a little disappointing very Stoney but the beaches on the coast line are all like this, Location is amazing in relation to how close to the beach you are & only a short walk along the beach front to reach Positano, But if you are not fit & able to deal with lots of stairs then this hotel may not be for you as getting down & back up is only for the fit hearted

Nothing it is what it is you cant moan about the stairs or beaches as they are exactly what the Amalfi coast is its a beautifully crazy place built on cliffs that make no sense but also make for an incredible experience.

Beach front hotel with panoramic views of sea and surrounding hills and cityscape from our room and balcony. Hotel had a cafe by their beach and above it a top notch restaurant for dinners with sea view. The breakfast is huge and delicious served by the sea. The courtyard is beautiful with flowers and lemon trees. A scenic path runs from the hotel to the port and town along the cliff side with breathtaking views at every point. The staff is friendly and efficient and rooms and amenities are great. This hotel is better than 4 & 5 star hotels we have stayed in Italy!

Nothing

Absolutely everything.

Before coming ask the hotel to tell you how it is best to come to their place. We went through long way with a lot of steps which was unnecessary. There are a perfect way to come from bus stop and port if you come with ferry. Don’t make our mistake😀
