I have 1 million good things to say about La Bizantina! Of our 15 day trip to Italy, our 6 night stay at La Bizantina was by far our best accommodation. The staff is so kind, considerate and genuine. The (huge) breakfast made for you each morning is the sweetest touch. The location is so ideal. I would 100% stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a boutique hotel on the Amalfi Coast!

They advertised a king bed, but it turned out to be a small queen. Very disappointed, it completely ruined my sleep, and I barely got any rest for three days. The stay included free breakfast, but aside from the pastries, the rest of the food was poor quality and disappointing.

The property sits higher on the hill than we expected, but we adjusted. The bathroom is a bit awkward as there is no place to put any toiletries inside and you have to use the vanity outside to open and close every time you need shampoo etc. It was a good place overall

Amazing, personal, exclusively Positano experience

La Bizantina is a secret gem in Positano. There are only a few rooms in the villa, so the experience is very personal and exclusive. Our visit was entirely coordinated in advance via email with the hotel team, and our hotel manager Hani coordinated our visit at an expert concierge level! She took care of dinner reservations, planned excursions including a private wine tasting, and is the most welcoming and attentive person from the guest perspective. We selected our room based on the private balcony/terrace, and this really made our Positano experience special with the amazing views. If you are looking for an exclusive, personal, non-hotel type experience, this is the place to reserve!

Beautiful Hotel with stunning views.

With Janurary being the low season, my partner and I actually had the whole house to ourselves! The hotel is exactly as shown in their photos. Our room was huge and so was the bathroom. Usually guests would have to share the bathroom which I could see as a down side to this place if it we’re busy. From what I could make out the place only has about 5 rooms, each leading out onto a beautiful terrace which had amazing views. The girl who checked us in was lovely and gave us a lot of information and tips about Positano and the area. During low season there’s no ‘front desk’ so make sure to call ahead to let them know what time you want to check in. Overall we had a great time at this place and would highly recommend it!

This is a cute little hotel, our room had a wonderful view overlooking the sea. The staff was amazing, especially Cecilia! She was very attentive and gave us great advice about restaurants and the best way to tour the city. We rented a Vespa to get around and also took the bus. Walking is okay but keep in mind there are MANY stairs back up to the hotel. The beach was about 15 minutes down stairs, down the mountain.

From the moment we stepped into La Bizantina it was a breath of fresh air. Our hosts Cecelia & Alessia were gracious, knowledgeable and accessible. La Biazantina was the perfect place to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. Clean, quiet, peaceful, romantic and accessible to everything Positano has to offer. Highly recommended.

This was by far, the nicest hotel we've ever stayed at. The service was phenomenal, the views gorgeous and the actual hotel itself was beautiful. The daily breakfast was high quality and delicious. Located in a nice spot in Positano, not too high up but not too low where you lose the views. Stay here, don't think twice about it

The villa is well positioned in Positano and it is possibly to get dropped off and picked up from the front door. We found our room, the king suite spacious and elegantly decorated, however there was a strong smell of drains from the bathroom which sadly didn’t get any better even by keeping the fan on. The staff are very friendly and helpful and gave us really useful advise before walking the "Path of the Gods" The breakfast is very limited, scrambled eggs is the only hot option. Fresh fruit is provided but otherwise most of the food is very sweet or processed. It was disappointing not to have some quality Italian cheese, tomatoes or cold meats.

The perfect Hotel

La Bizantana is the most beautiful hotel we have stayed in. It has a balcony with table and chairs overlooking town and water. We lived on the balcony. The room/hotel had beautiful tile work throughout and beautiful fabrics. As an interior designer, it was designed with so much detail. They have a fairly private deck with loungers and a jacuzzi with shade and sun. Breakfast was a huge spread served on a patio overlooking the town and water. Staff is excellent in service. They helped us navigate the local bus and around town. Super friendly and attentive. Best stay ever!
