Ottaviano Vacation Packages

The property was clean, accessible and well maintained. The staff were friendly helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. Although the property is a wee distance from the town, the regular free shuttle bus into town was very handy and helpful meaning there was no limitation or cost to getting into town and beyond.

We stayed for two nights and we liked several things. We arrived around 10 AM, before the 2 PM check-in, and the owner kindly kept our luggage and called when the room was ready around noon. The room was comfortable, everything worked, housekeeping was good, and staff arranged a porter to the bus stop at checkout. The other staff were also polite and helpful. Unfortunately, our experience was affected by interactions with the owner. When we left our luggage, my wife asked whether it was safe in the hallway. The response that “nobody is interested in your luggage” felt unnecessarily abrupt. A simple reassurance would have been more appropriate. The more serious issue was at breakfast. We are vegetarian and asked about alternatives given the limited selection. The owner brought some tomatoes, which we appreciated. However, when my wife pointed out that some fruit appeared old and asked about other options, the conversation became confrontational. We were told that if we needed so many things, we should stay at a five-star hotel. The following day, my wife was again described as “complicated” and told to stay at a five-star hotel. The conversation escalated, with raised voices in front of other guests. We felt it could have been handled more calmly and professionally. The hotel has many positives, but the owner’s handling of the situation overshadowed an otherwise pleasant stay.

We've stayed at a lot of hotels, but Hotel Montemare is in a league of its own. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the staff made us feel genuinely cared for. The service was the best we've ever experienced. It's the little touches that made it unforgettable: coming back each evening to find a bottle of champagne chilling in our fridge, and ending our days in the hot tub watching the sun go down over the ocean. Thank you to the whole team for making our time in Positano so special. We'll be back. 🇮🇹

The location is perfect! Right in front of a small beach, there's a small port with boats that can take you all over the coast, there's a bus stop up the hill if that's your preferrence. Truly a gem, the decor is nice, the rooms are clean and the breakfast is wonderful with eggs and coffee made to order. Truly worth the price.

Very clean, helpful staff and excellent food.

The hotel was fantastic. Nello and Vincenzo were amazing. Everything was so good. Can’t ask for a better experience.
