There is a communal eating area with fridge space for every room and a view to die for. There is no breakfast provided, you do it all yourself but buying whatever takes your fancy at the local store. Basic accommodation with no frills, but all you need is a bed and a friendly place to rest in this gorgeous coastal town.

We throughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Pensione Maria Luisa. Can't fault this place - we wish we stayed here the whole 6 days of our amalfi coast holiday instead of town hopping. Host/Owner of the hotel was friendly and helpful - giving us tips on hiking in the area, how to get around and the history of the town (his family has lived there for decades). Rooms were great - stayed one night in the room with view of town and shared balcony and one night with private balcony and sea views - spectacular! For the price, we were amazed! Good facilities - 4 huge fridges, microwave and panini maker in the kitchen together with cutlery and plates - so we could store and heat up food/drinks. A nice walk along windy streets from the hotel with lovely views takes you to the town centre.

Still lots of restaurants on this side and only a 20 min walk to the touristy part of town (not much in the touristy part, can be seen in 30 mins - the beauty of positano is in the views). This pension is located on the quieter side of Positano which is a positive as it has more locals, is tranquill and has the better beach.
