This place was perfect for us. It was reasonably priced, very comfortable, had wonderful terraces overlooking the sea. Carlo made us feel very welcome, you could even use the breakfast room for an evening picnic. 500 steps to a quiet beach, lots of great restaurants nearby including 2 owned by Carlo's relations where there was a 10% discount, easy walk...

Stayed for 2 weeks end of Aug/Sept. Wonderful host Giancarlo. The property has a lot of charm but its very humble in standard. There are a lot of ants that appear daily but spray helps. Don't expect luxury. However the views from room 6 are amazing and the bed faces the sea. Even the bathroom has a sweet round window... More

We stayed at Pensione Maria Luisa on July 2012. We found everything we needed for a perfect stay: good price (70 euros for a double room without private balcony), good location (although it's a 15-minute walk from the center of the city, Positano is so small that the location is still great. Plus, as it's on top of the hill... More

We were recommended this pension by our friends who told us to book a sea view balcony room - they told us it was basic but very clean and great value given the beautiful views from the balcony. On arrival we were not disappointed. The room we had was large and clean and the balcony was huge with a table,... More

This place was absolutely perfect! We are so grateful for Carlo, the owner, as he made our stay so easy and fun! Also, our view was incredible -- ten times better than the more expensive hotels up on the main street!! Please do yourself a favor and stay in this place -- and if you are a couple and you... More

We stayed here for 5 nights, first in a room on the second floor without a private terrace, and then got a room with a private terrace for the last few nights. The first room was basic but inexpensive, but squeaky clean. I think the maids gave us new sheets and towels every day! The room was right next to... More

I stayed in the Pensione Maria Luisa for 7 nights towards the end of May 2012. My travel buddy and I had the most amazing time in Positano and our accommodation made the stay even more wonderful. Located half way up the hill the Pensione was far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre but close... More

This is Positano - i.e. the Beverley Hills of the Amalfi Coast. We paid 85 euros a night for a twin with bathroom a terrace - a proper terrace, not a dinky balcony. It was fabulous. Lonely Planet were right about this place. Carlo was just gorgeous. He even hauled our luggage up the tiny stairs and down again. We... More
