Reviews of Bacio del Sole B&B Positano

Amazing view, wonderful and helpful staff, close to the path of the gods

Difficult to get to and a little isolated

The staff was very helping, polite and nice. Property and its facilities are far better than many 4 star hotels.

If you are able to hike then it is not at problem to get to the property. 3- 4 minutes of stairs walk to get to the property that could not be avoided.

At first, we were very surprised by the location. We had not read enough to know that the hotel was situated high above the town of Positano. We chose to walk down the path/stairs that led down to the road and into the town. It was a bit exhausting, but since we did it every day, we got better and better at going down and up again. The advantage of being above the town is that it is completely quiet and very romantic. For those who do not wish to walk, there is a bus that runs back and forth from the town to a stop 200 meters from the hotel. The breakfast was lovely and prepared every morning. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the communication via WhatsApp was quick and very helpful if we had questions about our stay. We recommend visiting the hotel.

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT

NOTHING

Incredible view of the bay and Positano.

As a couple in our sixties, the stairs were a challenge.

The views were amazing

Staff are young and obviously not very experienced. We were kept waiting for 15 minutes in the heat outside the property after letting them know we had arrived via booking.com messaging, WhatsApp’ing them and calling them on arrival. We had told them what time our ferry was arriving before hand too. The girl who overlooked breakfast was pleasant enough but no interaction with guests, and on her phone all the time. Tomatoes at breakfast were never washed. Which they really should have been. There are 94 steps to get to the first small path to make your way towards the bus etc. the steps around the property and on the way to the bus station should not be underestimated. The bus service is only hourly, this inconvenience should also not be underestimated, especially with the hot summers. The bus gets very crammed beyond what should be allowed from a health and safety point of view. The local mini market was so run down, although the lady who ran it was very sweet. We heard alot of younger couples (we are 50 years old) complaining about all the above too so it’s not an age thing. The stairs and luggage are another challenge of their own.

The girls serving the breakfast were very nice. They decorated our room for my partner’s birthday. The room had kitchen facilities

We were misled about the location. We were NOT in Positano. We had to walk 200 hundred steps to catch the bus down to Positano OR walk 2,000 steps downhill from our place to the town. Which we did and really wrecked my husband’s knee. It’s advertised as being in Positano but it’s NOT it’s located in Nocelle, 2,000 steps uphill away.

Fantastic views of coast line

Too many steps to & from property

Fantastic location, quiet spot, wonderful people, delicious breakfast served on a beautiful terrace overviewing the sea and Positano.

The view was the best! Breakfast was very good!

The location was beautiful

bathroom had mold, the beds were the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in, WIFI did not work, A/C did not work, no hot tub as advertised. No staff to assist. It is down A LOT of steps and 30 minutes away from Positano. I do not recommend. Definitely not the romantic getaway I was hoping for!!

We came back for the view and it didn’t disappoint. We first visited Nocelle for our honeymoon in 2022, and the beauty of this place, especially looking at Positano from a peaceful distance, left such an impression on us. While we love Positano, we prefer not being in the middle of the hustle and bustle, which is why Nocelle is our perfect spot. This time, we noticed there was a different staff team. While they were lovely and accommodating, we missed the personal touch we experienced during our first visit, which had contributed to us coming back. It’s not that the new staff were bad at all - just that the experience wasn’t quite as personal as we remembered.

Nothing

This property located near the Path of the Gods had spectacular views of the Amalfi coastline! The sunsets were incredible! The staff was very friendly and the breakfast, including the cappuccino, was delightful! This beautiful slice of paradise was a welcome retreat from the bustling crowds of Positano below!

Beautiful property in Nocelle— easy trek to positano and gorgeous views. Yummy breakfast, welcoming staff, very quiet

The b&b is about 30-40 minutes by shuttle from Positano and the shuttle becomes very crowded. It’s difficult to find a seat and the shuttle only comes hourly.

The sheets were clean

The room is very old with mold on the walls in the room as well as mold in the shower. The tiles on the floor is broken as well as the handle of the cupboard is broken. When sitting outside, they places a soiled mattress on the handrail right above us.

The staff were very helpful and accommodating.

The location was a bit far from town so after the bus service it was very pricey to get back to our air bnb

The view is a great 🙂

The location is very far and the property is a litle old and need renovation

The view was amazing and the staff is very helpful with the luggage or making arrangement for transportation.

The property is in the hills and very remote, if you are looking for quiet time and want to be away from the City it a perfect place to stay with an amazing view and a couple of restaurants nearly.
