The Balcony View and Carlo is what makes this simple accomodation supersan! We stayed two nights in a room without the balcony and two nights with the balcony and the balcony room is totally amazing. The rooms are basic, neat and clean. The location is out of the way but it doesn't take that long to get the the main... More

The view from our balcony was amazing, Carlo was very accommodating and kind, and his cat was the sweetest creature on the island:) The room was nothing special but don't plan on being in your room when you are in such a beautiful place. More

We stayed at Pensione Maria Luisa in September 2010 during our trip through Italy and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The pensione is positioned on top of a cliff which overlooks the beautiful sea. We were lucky enough to stay in a sea view room and were mesmerized as soon as we stepped out onto the balcony! Admittedly, the rooms and bathrooms... More

I will concur with the other reviewers that Carlo has to be the nicest proprietor in all of Italy. The location makes this a difficult choice for older travellers, the less fit or those with mobility issues. Positano clings to a cliff face and has many streets which are so steep they incorporate stairs. The Maria Luisa is half-way down... More

We just recently stayed here in October and had the ocean view room. Let me just say that the view from the terrace will immediately make take your breath away and make you relax. The room décor is basic but clean and the room we stayed in the bathroom had been recently been renovated and clean.. The real star of... More

Carlo, the owner's childhood home. He was very helpful, arranging a driver to take us to Salerno 6.00. We had a problem with SITA bus and luggage from Sorrento to Positano. We were unable to get one of the fabled rooms with terrace overlooking the sea, but the room we got was OK, with sea glimpses and overlooking Positano. Breakfast... More

We stayed here in May 2011 at the end of three weeks travel in Italy. The pensione is basic and honestly "dated". Our balcony room was spacious but was in need of a facelift. Still - it was clean and the service was good. But - the biggest PLUS was that awesome balcony and FANTASTIC view. Having the fridge available... More

My friends and I had been recommended this accommodation as a affordable place to stay with a lovely host. The room exceeded our expectations.. yes, basic but with character, a gorgeous roof terrace and views from the dining room over Positano that are second to none! I can't speak highly enough of Carlo, he is simply the loveliest, most helpful... More

This guide book find was a terrific value. The guest rooms are basic, but clean and comfortable. The common room included a kitchen area with a refrigerator,very convenient for breakfast and picnic fixings. The owner, Carlo, was so friendly and accommodating that we felt like we were staying with family. The location of this pensione could not be beat -... More
