After hanging about and cooling my heels for 20 minutes (how nice when you've just walked down 300 slippery steps with a heavy bag) he informed me that I had a 'beauuuutiful room' with a 'beauuutiful terrace' up the road at the Residence Florida. And no explanation at all, just a 'oh please wait here, I have to make a phone call'. I had booked one of the famous balcony rooms, or so I thought, but when I finally arrived in Positano after a very long and sweaty trip from Naples, Carlo greeted me with a very awkward look and lots of hemming and hawing and shuffling of feet. It was to be my first trip to Positano so I wanted to make sure I got a nice room with a view. I'd exchanged several emails a week earlier with Carlo, offering my credit card details, assuring him I'd arrive around 2 or 3 pm, giving my mobile phone number, etc etc. You can visit the dessert restaurant situated close by and taste Italian cuisine.I would have liked to write a proper review for the Maria Luisa after having experienced the wonderful view but they managed to give the room I'd booked to someone else. The a la carte Ristorante Saraceno D'Oro restaurant specialises in Campania dishes. Guests can enjoy their morning meal in the restaurant. Along with a bidet and a shower, the private bathrooms also come with hair dryers and bath sheets. The nice touches include a marble floor together with a sofa and a writing desk. Some units at the accommodation are fitted with an individual climate control and central heating, and such self-catering options as a mini bar fridge. Due to a location right by a bus stop, this property offers easy access to other parts of Positano.

Pensione Maria Luisa is also around 5 minutes' drive from Ceramiche Casola. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Spiaggia Fornillo, which is less than 5 minutes' walk away. This Positano hotel is placed in 5 minutes' stroll of Fornillo Beach and right by a supermarket and shops.

Spiaggia del Fornillo is placed 0.6 km from the accommodation, while Roman Archeological Museum MAR is nearly a 20-minute stroll away. Located a mere 600 metres from Via Fornillo, the hotel boasts 3 restaurants specialising in Campania, Southern-Italian and Neapolitan cuisine. The 2-star Pensione Maria Luisa Positano is set right at a harbour and narrow alleys.
