Quiet property only 15 mins away from Positano. Not luxurious but good enough for a short stay. The staff was amazing. Everything very private.

More like glamming!
Not as advertised. Extremely difficult to navigate. Purposely distracted us from steep interior stairs and made us use outside stairs that were twice as long. Terrible for our seniors. This was not mentioned in description. Hotel run down. Staff greedy.

The hotel is between positano and amalfi. So bus or taxi is required. There is a beach below thats convenient and has lounge chairs and restaurants as well. It’s the drop off point for water taxis too, much to keep us tourists entertained (haha). The room was clean and was had a terrace. The hotel has an outdoor terrace for breakfast also. The staff was friendly and very helpful. They drove us to their restaurant nearby, although IL Pino, very close by was the best! Don’t miss it, and go early and sit in their backyard overlooking the sea. The drinks were great as well. Actually loved being away from all the hustle of the major attractions. Unless you are looking for very busy then choose either village, plenty of activities there. Enjoy the wine, journey, and making new friends!

Lovely clean comfortable hotel, magnificent location, and good value compared to the larger towns along Amalfi. Staff were lovely, helpful and pleasant. Building probably needs a little attention, jacuzzi was a bit tired, but perfectly useable, (and cleaned regularly). Bus stop out the front gives respite from all the stairs and hills that are unavoidable in this wonderful area. We made a great choice when choosing Hotel Torre Saracena.

This hotel is in a small quaint town but did have bus service right in front to go to other towns. Not able to get taxi unless you book private one in advance. We had a long, downhill walk to the cute beach and restaurants. (A few on the water nearby were amazing! ) The staff were friendly but not very knowledgeable as far as getting around. The room and bathroom were very dated with a tiny shower. Two mornings in a row we lost power and the staff didn’t know. One afternoon we lost hot water so my husband took a freezing shower. The beds were very hard with springs which was disappointing. The breakfast was very good. And the views were amazing from any area or room of the hotel. We still had a great time in Praiano!

Terrace on the Mediterranean!
This hotel in Praiano was excellent & we especially loved the hot breakfast buffet, the hotel’s location & the very helpful & kind staff. Our room & terrace was very spacious & clean. Our room’s terrace looked out over the Mediterranean Sea & included chaise lounge chairs for soaking up the sun in private. We were close to restaurants, taverns & shopping, & the regional bus stop for Sita Sud was less than a block away. We were also close to a small beach & amazing walk way along the Mediterranean.

We received an upgrade to what appeared to be the nicest room. The free breakfast was wonderful (and a necessary option based on the location). The mid-point location between Positano and Almalfi is perfect. Additionally, it is a great location to walk up approximately 1,500 stairs to the Path of Gods, which was difficult but very beautiful and worth the workout.

very very disappointed
We booked a superior double with sea view , the room was very shabby, the pictures were very very deceiving. The balcony was overlooked by a common area so everybody could see you , no privacy . We asked to change rooms and were given a new room , which had we of booked would have a lot cheaper . We paid £250 per night which was most definitely not worth the money . The breakfast staff were rude and there was very little choice and the breakfast area was dirty ! Looking back on the reviews , each review had been posted 3 times so a good review was followed by another 2 by the same person ! If your thinking of booking , don’t go to the Tritone for a little extra but so worth every penny . I would not go back or recommend!

Amazing service from host Paula, she honestly couldn’t do enough for us and was always very happy.

Torre Saracena is an old but clean 3-star hotel. Has a great location, next to the bus station, no need to take the stairs so as to reach the road. Breakfast has a variety of croissants, toasts, omelet, bacon etc and they offer you also espresso, cappuccino and black coffee! Very friendly and helpful staff Note that the hotel is in Praia, near Praiano

We absolutely loved our time here. Great service and they have a jacuzzi hot tub when it's not Ok to swim in the sea, as it is sometimes rough. Location - its located about 5km between Amalfi & Positano. Between two bus companies, there is a bus every 20 mins or so, BUT if the bus is full the it drives past, over and over again, we had a lot of difficulty. The taxis charge more to drop you to the centre of Positano or Amalfi, it is possible to get it cheaper of they drop you at the top of the walking path. Dont hesitate to ask others if they want to share a taxi as there are others that get frustrated with the buses too. Some of the smaller tour operators charge 4 Euros to get from Praiano but its not advertised anywhere. We did a tour with a company to Pompei, this is the one that will do 4 Euros to Amalfi. Then catch the ferry to Positano, it's an awesome trip. Meals - There is no restaurant at the hotel itself, they offer a free ride down the road to a nice restuarant they have an association with. There are 3 other restaurants to try, head in either direction on the road for 60m or so and there will be stairs going down. On the Priano town side there are 2 restaurants that are excellent and the one in the other direction is lovely too with trellises of lemons hanging down.

The pictures showing on the web are way older. The hotel needs renovations. The installations are old or in really bad condition. Also some clean up around the installations will be a plus. Our room was located down bottom from the reception area not elevators neither good stairs to climb up I won’t come back !

Lovely view. Pleasant staff. Room was small but A/C worked well. Parking easy. Breakfast is good. Making the trek to the water is hazardous and no live saving gear at the bottom. Worse is going back up 200 uneven steps. Best to head to a safe beach. We had lunch at the restaurant associated with the hotel (they take you by shuttle) and the seafood pasta was very good. However 5 Euro for a small bowl of chopped lettuce was way way overpriced (Insalata Verde). We had fantastic dinners next door at Costa Dive...great fish and the 5 Euro salad was large and colorful with tomato and radicchio (Insalata Mista)
