PENSIONE MARIA LUISA

We were sadly disappointed in our stay here and from the beginning felt a little mislead. We booked directly through the property website which says they offer breakfast as an option and had photos of the breakfast room and our Lonely Planet guide book also suggested the property offered breakfast. When we arrived at the property however, the person checking us in said they didn’t have breakfast there and didn’t give any further explanation as to why it was still listed on their website.

The website also says they have a laundry service, but we were told at check in that we would have to take it ourselves and he gave no further information other than the location. Luckily we asked a different person working the next morning about the laundry and they were very helpful in arranging for the laundry to be picked up from the property and dropped back off.

Aside from the confusion of the hotel services the room was also a bit lacking for comfort. The pillows were very flat, towels were starchy and stiff and had ants crawling up the bathroom wall. There was a ton of rain the second and third day of our stay and we had no hot water because they were having electricity problems.

On a positive note the owner of the property was very nice and tried to be as accommodating as possible to alleviate our concerns (offering insecticide spray for the ants and to take a shower in a different room). Overall we simply felt the accommodations were not a good value and that we overpaid for what we got in return. The balcony with the view was the best part, but unfortunately we didn’t get to use it much because of all the rain, and would have sacrificed the balcony if it meant we could have had more comforts in the room amenities.

It was the second time I stay at Pensione Maria Luisa. This time in the Panoramic Double Room!
We appreciated the nice staff and the cleanliness of the room… and of course our terrace with a stunning view.

I feel lucky to have found this place for my trip to Positano. Room was big and cleaned every day, staff was nice and kind, and it’s so close to the main road, while being tucked away from the center and the crowds. An amazing value. I’ll be back next time I’m in the AC!

Had an amazing stay at Pensione Maria Luisa in Positano this July 2022! The property is a 2 minute walk from the bus stop so it's easy to get around the small town of Positano. The hosts Andrea, Carlo, and Miguel were also extremely helpful and hospitable. The view from the balcony is breathtaking!

Staying in Positano is expensive and I doubt you can find a property that offers more value for money than this one. Hopefully, the hosts can offer breakfast soon!

Fantastic location, close to everything, but away from the noisy part of town. The host was so nice and welcomming. Verry charming.
