Il Barilotto

The ownwers make you feel at home. Everything is so clean, the breakfast is top notch plus they provide transportation to and from downtown.

My wife and I recently stayed at Al Barilotto Del Nonno Hotel just outside of Positano. It was a great experience. It is a small, family-run boutique hotel with spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and beautiful views from large private balconies. But what really sets it apart was the wonderful personal service we received from people like Giovanni (1 of 5 family members), who has served at the hotel for over 50 years. He provided expert guidance and help regarding bus and ferry schedules, nearby restaurants, and best routes/use of time. Beyond that, he personally drove us to a nearby restaurant, and to Positano to make sure that we caught a boat on time. BTW, the breakfasts were delicious (the fresh-squeezed pear juice and winter melons were to die for), and the setting was great -- a beautiful 2nd floor garden-like patio overlooking the bay below. But again, it was Giovanni who made our stay so memorable. His wisdom, sense-of-humor, and pride in what he and his family have worked so hard to achieve, came through in several conversations on the breakfast patio and in the unique and beautiful lobby. If we return to Positano, we will definitely stay at "At Grandfather's Barrel" Hotel again, and renew our friendship with Giovanni!

Amazing hotel and the best experience in Positano.We enjoyed our room, the balcony had a spectacular view. Upon our arrival we were warmly welcomed by the owners, Giovanni and her sister are very warm and friendly. Breakfast was amazing. Giovanni doesn't mind driving us to Positano and then picking us up. He was always ready to help us to make reservations for dinner in a very good restaurants around. Massimo and Lucky were the starts behind scene.The service was amazing This was probably one of the best hotels experiences we’ve ever had. I loved everything about it! You will not be disappointed

We cannot say enough great things about our stay here. Every single member of the staff was warm kind and welcoming. Our room had an incredible view and breakfast was always delicious. Giovanni went above and beyond to set up the perfect romantic table for our engagement to end our stay! The location even though a bit outside of downtown positano Giovanni coordinates standing and convenient times to shuttle people into town and understand the easy to take bus lines. If you are considering a stay I highly encourage it!
