Bed & Breakfast Palazzo Talamo - Positano

It was so clean and quiet.

9.2

The views here are absolutely fantastic, though it is directly above a busy ferry stop (nothing too large, but lots and lots of boats traveling between Capri, Amalfi, etc). Rooms are spotlessly clean, simple but elegant, and well-presented. Bed was very good. Bathroom was also very nice, but water temp varied considerably, which knocked a point off the overall experience. Hotel has a lift, which was very nice considering the verticality of Positano in general and the hotel in particular. Getting to the hotel is a chore, with traffic through the town very slow and lots of tourists walking in the streets; moreover, parking is not free...the hotel will have someone pick up and drop off your car with a 20 euro/night fee (ouch!). Vicenzo's, across the street, is OK, but plagued with strolling musicians trying to hock their CDs. Staff was helpful and professional. Hotel advertises internet at a cost, but let me use the computer for free and I think there's Wi-Fi in the lobby. 130 Euro/night is not cheap, but not outrageous for Europe and pretty good for Positano (particularly for what you get). Would stay there again.

We have had a wonderful stay at PT. The hotel is excellent. Recently refurbished, the room was very nice, excellent bathroom, the terrace superb, with a fanastic view. The location is excellent. Tip: if you travel with a notebook, request rooms 1 or 2 that are near the lobby; the wireless connection reaches the rooms and you won't need to move to the lobby to connect to internet. I fully recommend this B&B. You won't be dissapointed.

We werelucky to find it at once as the map (any map of Positano) cannot help. Look at the right and somewhere in the middle of the town you'll see it. People very kind, garage service in 3 minutes, breakfast medium, but what a view...

A nice sized room with a killer view, walking to several restaurants, a nice breakfast included in the price, and wi-fi option.

Located in the perfect spot in Positano, the family that runs this B&B are warm, helpful and accommodating. Do not hesistate to book here if you are planning to visit Positano(and you should!). Rooms are spotless and all have sea views. The breakfast is spectacular. We were 4 people and we all loved it here.

Location was outstanding, view was breathtaking Bed was a little uncomfortable as it was 2 single beds pushed together and they kept coming apart during the night.

We were overall very pleased with the hotel. Difficult to find from online maps, basically get off at the SITA bus stop #1 and take the orange Positano bus down to the gas station, then hike a little back up. We had room #12 on level -2, which had an even better view than the online pics. Paid 160E/night which was 50E more than other rooms, probably worth it. The hotel is 350 steps up from the beach. Nikola was extremely helpful at the front desk and spoke good english. His sister was not as nice, at one point tried to move us from this room with the best view and later haggled us with the final bill and asked us not to get the lobby furniture dirty with one of our bags. There is a grocery and decent restaraunts nearby but you will probably end up eating closer to the beach most days so great ready for the hike. We still recommend this hotel for the price!

We had a very pleasant time at the Palazzo Talamo. The room was a bit small but that didn't matter since we would spend most of the day out. It was extremely clean which was very important to us. The balcony was spacious and we sat out in the evenings watching the ocean. Palazzo Talamo had made a mistake on my reservation, and had actually booked out our room for the second night of our stay. They acknowledged their mistake and arranged for us to stay at another hotel in a upgraded suite, which they were going to pay the difference for. Fortunately the person that was supposed to have our room cancelled and we were able to keep our room. The breakfast was not something out of the ordinary; the usual toast, cornetto, cheese, yogurt, and fruit. On the other hand their cappuccino was excellent. On my next visit, I will surely stay at the P. Talamo.

I loved this hotel. It was beautiful and clean. Family run as of 2 years ago. The bathroom was lovely. The view from the terrace outstanding. There was a great restaurant across the street. The hotel was safe. I would go back tomorrow if I could, to Positano and I would stay at Palazzo Talamo! I highly recommend it.

Palazzo Talamo was excellent. The staff was very nice and helpful whenever possible. And, you can't beat the view. Our only problem was finding the place. Their streets aren't numbered in a very orderly fashion. Also note, get off at the bus stop on the west side of town and walk east back up the hill (only a short distance). It is MUCH shorter than getting off at the east side stop and walking down the hill, and well worth the small trip up.

This was my girlfriend and my first trip to Italy, and a B&B in Positano was suggested by a friend. From the moment we stepped into the reception, we both fell in love with the Palazzo Talamo. The B&B is a family run business who seem to take much pride in their work. All members of the family/staff were very friendly and made us feel right at home. The business is fairly new, so the rooms and other public areas are well kept. The room was very comfortable and had a wonderful view overlooking the sea. The Palazzo Talamo is much more then what I would expect from a B&B. It was very reasonably priced accommodation in a notoriously expensive part of the Amalfi coast. Definitely recommend it.
