Karen's Review Of
Hotel Marincanto:
The Marincanto is a classic hotel in Positano which in the 1960’s, even though being very understated, had such illustrious guests as Jackie Onassis and Grace Kelly, among other stars. A complete renovation in the past years has brought this charming place up to par with the top choices in town offering those famed views out over the cliffside town to the sea. It is certainly the coast's best kept secret. From the main street level all you can see is the parking area and a small entrance leading to the elevator which takes you down to the main reception area. Everything that epitomizes the coast is found here in one open and airy space: light, the turquoise sea, colorful ceramic tiles, spotless white interiors, and flowers bursting out of vases everywhere. The breakfast terrace is a dream with potted lemon trees and crisp white linens and more views where light meals are served. Each sun-laden room has its own private terrace from which to take in the sunset over the sea or breakfast. A private beach below the hotel reached by many steps is another privileged feature along with its perfect location on the main street of Positano.

The hotel is run down. The lobby has no charm and looks like a blank slate. The furnishings are plain. Unlike as advertised, there are no flowers of any kind in the public areas. The rooms are roomy but uninteresting. If all you care about is the view this may be the place. But if you want charm or ambiance you will be disappointed.

PROPERTY RESPONSE:

Dear Mrs Karen,

Criticisms are always precious and we are used to accepting them as a incentive to constantly improve and better fulfill guests’ expectations.

However, there are some feedbacks, which seem to be not generous nor rewarding. They don’t repay, in our opinion, the cont...
