Hotel Casa Albertina

We loved this hotel. But let me warn you, it is quite a hike from the road to the entrance, steps and steps and steep steps and a tunnel. The porter carried our bags up. Our room had a terrace with table and chairs and an incredible view of Positano and the Mediteranean. It appeared that the spacious bathroom had recently been renovated. We ate breakfast on the terrace of the breakfast room. It was a buffet. The waiter took care of our coffees and took very good care of us. One of the best restaurants we ate at is right next door, da Vincenzo. We highly recommend this hotel.

The staff was unbelievable. They were able to accommodate all of our needs with ease. Breakfast was delightful. They had a nice area overlooking the town & sea which made for one of the best views I've had in a Breakfast setting probably ever. Room: the room was quaint [#33]. It was simple and that works. We had an absolutely spectacular view of Positano from our balcony. They had reasonable amenities. The reason we did not give 5 stars was because of the bathroom set-up. The shower was high off the ground so you had to take a higher than usual step up to get over and into the bathtub. Secondly, the shower head was at a poor angle and the maneuverability of the shower head made it difficult to shower on a daily basis. It was just uncomfortable. The water pressure and temperature were good however. Another reason we gave 4 out of 5 stars is because you could not bring outside food into the hotel. They did have room service, but we literally just wanted a take out pizza to enjoy in our room on the patio and that was not an option. The location was amazing. There are so many delectable restaurants within walking distance and it is about a 5 minute walk to get down to Spaggia Grande. Overall we had an amazing vacation and I'm happy overall with this hotel. We would stay here again. Thank you for a great experience. We were grateful for the opportunity.

This was such a great place, excellent location, and incredible views. We were so fortunate they upgraded our room which included a balcony. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and included breakfasts were simply breathtaking. Along with the staff being so nice and helpful. The steps up to the lobby are the only challenge if you bring heavy luggage. However, they do have people to help carry them up, which was a true blessing. We cannot wait to return.

The Casa Albertina was an amazing experience! Beautiful rooms, incredible views, and above-and-beyond customer service. It was perfect for our 20th wedding anniversary. The only problem was that is was truly heart-breaking to leave!!

The best view from a hotel room ever? Casa Albertina, without a doubt. When I opened the terrace doors of our room at Casa Albertina and took in the panoramic view of Positano and the ocean, actual tears came to my eyes. It is so jaw-droppingly beautiful. The stunning view is just one reason to choose Casa Albertina when visiting Positano. Another is the wonderful breakfast buffet on a balcony overlooking the ocean. I really appreciated not having to leave the hotel for breakfast, and the view was magical. I will miss having cappuccinos and pastries on that terrace forever! Every time we came into the small lobby we were greeted cheerfully by the staff, who were happy to make recommendations or provide assistance. Our room was cool and quiet, and pretty spacious. Really, the only downside of Casa Albertina is the walk to get there. The hotel is located higher on the hill, and the hike up and down is no joke, especially in the heat. We had to make careful decisions about coming and going, it wasn't like you could just pop back to your room to grab something you forgot. It was a long, hard climb that required a shower afterwards. This is going to be true of most hotels in Positano, though. Work on your cardio before you arrive! Also, consider the number of bags you bring. We arrived at Casa Albertina in a car, and the driver helped us bring our bags up the stairs to the hotel. Leaving Positano, we took the ferry, and needed to lug our suitcases (two carry-on size bags each) down the stairs to the beach. It was doable, but fewer bags will make it easier to get around in general. Overall, we loved our time at Casa Albertina and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again and take in that dreamy view.

My wife found Casa Albertina online, but I booked and coordinated our trip. Our trip could not have been more wonderful from day one until we left. The staff was exceptional and the breakfast was delicious. For my wife, who doesn't eat breakfast, Andrea was the best part . . . he delivered her pot of coffee to the room every morning we were there. They booked our pick-up at the Naples train station, which went flawlessly. They also made and adjusted restaurant reservations for us . . . they can book virtually anything you might want to do while on the Amalfi Coast. Our room was beautiful and had a magnificent view of Positano, the Grande Marina and the coastline. The sunrises looked like postcard pictures and the city twinkled at night as we sipped wine on our balcony. We were treated like special visitors from the moment we arrived. Our sincere thanks to the management and staff . . . Casa Albertina will be our home away from home the next time we are in Positano.

Starting with the good: lovely and friendly crew, family feel and good location. Gorgeous views and semi-decent location. Modernized bathroom. Unfortunately, I should have done more research, do NOT stay here if: you don’t want or can’t climb stairs to enter the hotel. Or, if you want luxury, this is NOT the place. Scratchy old towels and stained, wool itchy blankets. The breakfast was just ok.

Wow! What a perfect 3 night stay in Positano. Casa Albertina was a sweet paradise to come back to each evening, waking up to our personal balcony view was a dream. We stayed on the 3rd floor and although we explored Positano during our stay, nothing beat the views from Casa Albertina. We were so impressed with how well kept every corner of the hotel and rooms were. Everything was pristine, and we appreciated the little added touches like robes, slippers, soaps, and mini bar. We enjoyed cocktails each night on the rooftop bar, and breakfast with a perfect view each morning. When you search Positano these are the views you are dreaming of. Even if you don’t get a room with a balcony or a personal view, it’s still the best because you will have plenty of opportunity to enjoy the spectacular view at breakfast or from the rooftop or third floor lounge area. The website says you “come as guests and leave as family” and we really feel that way. The owner at the front took great care of us and every other guest he interacted with.. we had our luggage taken care of, car services called if needed..and personally I loved the 24 hour person at the front desk. As an added bonus Andrea the waiter will take care of you at breakfast each morning, he made us feel so welcomed. The location is also very well appointed, you will have the most incredible lunch right downstairs at Da Vincenzo and really appreciate the location once you start to walk around. We were on our honeymoon, I would say it’s perfect for couples or any type of trip really. If you review Casa Albertina poorly I really think you will not enjoy Positano no matter what because we are very particular and to us it was perfect.

The pillows were the hardest I've ever used! Like lumps of rocks! Apart from that the bed was comfortable. The room (paintwork/desk) had seen better days but everything worked fine. Not sure why there were bathmats at the side of the bed though. We booked a room 'without special view' which means you don't have a view at all. Might have been nice to have known in advance. I didn't take a photo as it was so upsetting. The 'orange juice' at breakfast tastes like a soluble vitamin drink and I'd be surprised it contained any oranges! On the upside, the welcome was very warm and the roof terrasse was the perfect place to have cocktails and enjoy the fabulous view. We walked up with our bags from the port - it's a long way up, but we knew this in advance. Positano is a good work out!
