We stayed in a large, bright room with plenty of space for clothes and a lovely balcony. The location is ideal—close to the beach and convenient for catching the ferries. The room came with thoughtful amenities like toiletries, a fridge, complimentary water on arrival, slippers, and fresh towels daily. I also requested a kettle and was pleasantly surprised to find it waiting for me at check-in. Overall, I recommend La Tartana. The staff are very helpful and welcoming, but the hotel has some room for improvement, especially considering the price.

That said, I have a few suggestions for improvement. Replacing the plastic cups with glass ones would enhance the experience. Some of the furniture could use attention to ensure drawers close properly, items hang straight, and there are no holes in the walls or ceiling. Cleaning could be more thorough in certain areas. In the breakfast area, it would be helpful to display all options clearly on a blackboard.

First off the staff was extremely welcoming and enthusiastic offering great advice and genuine concern for us enjoying our stay. They even went as far as printing maps of hiking trails and providing excellent directions and recommendations. Alfonso who staffed the desk during the day, made us feel special and Maria made sure we enjoyed our breakfast. The location was ideal.....close to the ferry, the beach, restaurants, and shops. Our room was comfortable, quiet, and clean and we had a small terrace with table and chairs to enjoy our view of the beach. Daily breakfast was delicious with typical continental cuisine including fresh pastries, fresh fruit, and allowed for freshly cooked eggs if desired. A special touch was a beach bag and beach towel provided for our use during our stay!

Nothing!!

All of the staff were so nice and welcoming! We had a hectic travel day bc the ports closed due to weather so last minute we had to find a different way to get to Positano but the second we checked in Alfonso put us at ease and was so welcoming and charming. He also was able to book transport when we left today as well when the ports were still closed. The rooms are beautiful and spacious with comfy beds. Breakfast and cappuccino is great, too. Also, the location is perfect, literally less than a 10 min walk from the beach!

Staff were brilliant, very helpful and friendly. Hotel is lovely, breakfast was adequate with choice of pastries, fruit, bread, meat, cheese and eggs. Our room was big and comfortable. The city view room also had a balcony with a sea view.

Whilst the room was good, the city view meant that it was a little noisy and we had some broken sleep as a result. If staying again we would ask for a room on a higher floor with a sea view.

The view was unbelievable and Alfonso was amazing - so kind, thoughtful and fun! He genuinely wanted us to have a great time - thank you!

They could have been clearer about where to be dropped off by taxi - we had to walk down many stairs with lots of luggage and injured our shoulders.

Alfonso is so helpful, it made the experience even better! He had great recommendations, helped us organize a porter or a taxi wherever we needed he really is so good at his job and also very funny! The room was so much bigger than I expected it to be and the view was just spectacular. Maybe 15/20 steps down to the beach and some amazing restaurants. The drop off location was great and then it’s slightly down some paths to get to the location it’s great! If you’re wanting to not have to trek a whole bunch of stairs this is the place!

The breakfast could have been a little better with the options provided. More of a snack bar

Nicely appointed room with a balcony looking out to the sea. Hotels that are created by converting old houses, castles, etc often have issues with things working in the room, like plumbing, electricity, etc., not the case at Villa La Tartana...everything in the room worked exceptionally well. Beautiful flow from the entry door to the balcony. The staff are exceptionally welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable. Can't praise them enough. Close to the beach and even gave us complimentary beach towels. Love this hotel!

Can't think of anything.

We did some research before, and chose La Tartana mainly because of its location (not too many steps and close to the beach) - and we could not be more grateful for it, as it met our requirements and was within our budget. The staff - Alfonso (main desk), Maria (breakfast) and Silvia (main desk afternoon and owner) - were extremely friendly, kind and helpful all the time. Our overall stay was six days, in a beautiful and spacious room on the ground floor with a small terrace and sea view, it was much more than what we could ask for! The location was amazing - 5 min at most from the beach, the main pier, shops and restaurants - and Positano overall was a great “base” to go to the different places in the Amalfi Coast we visited (Amalfi, The Path of the Gods trail, Capri). We will definitely come back and highly recommend this place to stay!

The Villa La Tartana had the most incredibly friendly and helpful staff in an amazing location. Our room had a sea view which also overlooked the city, it is probably one of the most picturesque views we have ever had. From the hotel there is a two minute walk down to the beach and its many restaurants. We had been travelling along the Amalfi Coast and the food we had in Positano was the best. We cannot thank Alfonso at reception enough for all his help with organising our taxi and making recommendations to us. We loved the breakfast and especially the omelettes!

We cannot suggest anything… it was perfect!

Breakfast was excellent with very friendly and helpful lady that managed the breakfast every day. Excellent view of beach during breakfast. Hotel was in excellent location and staff available all the time to answer any questions or give advice. Hotel very accommodating in providing glasses, etc for consumption of own beverages in the room. Discount offered if you used family restaurant on the hill which provided excellent food and tremendous views whilst eating

It is a pity that no coffee facilities were provided in the room
