Traveling to Positano in mid October.

Traveling to Positano in mid October. Does anyone have a recommendation for a place to stay? I need something very economically priced. A view is not so important. Top priorities are something clean with friendly staff. Thank you!

Ciao Elise,You mentioned mid-October and as mid-season prices for hotels in Positano usually kicks-in from Oct 13th, you'll probably get some good deals.I have stayed at Hotel Savoia (3-star hotel), no sea-view here, but it's very close to Piazza Mulini, where the internal buses stop and a short walk to the main beach (Spiaggia Grande). It's clean, the staff friendly and they serve a nice buffet breakfast. The price mid-October for a standard room is €100 (i've just checked their online booking system for Oct 15 for 2 people) but I am not sure if breakfast is included. If you pre-pay, (non-refundable), it's even cheaper €90. Here's the link to the Hotel Savoia http://www.savoiapositano.it/en/index.phpHere's the review for Hotel Savoia on TripAdvisorhttp://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g194863-d489107-Reviews-Hotel_Savoia-Positano_Amalfi_Coast_Campania.htmlAnother place is Hotel Marincanto and it's offers amazing views. It's a 4-star which means it's pricier at €170 for a standard room.

If you are only staying a few days, a hotel would be the best option.Hope that helps and have a great time in Positano!!Best,Diana

Thank you all for your advice!Nancy – AirB&B is a great idea, something that I had not thought of but unfortunately, I only need a place for one night so renting an apartment doesn’t make sense.Carol – Hotel Marincanto looks beautiful! But sadly out of my price range. I will certainly keep it in mind for another time.Diana – Thank you very much for taking the time to check the hotel rates. I only need a room for the night of the 12th. It seems as if I am just missing the change in season rates!Your house looks lovely, too bad I only need something for one night!Happy weekend!Elise

Ciao Elisa,Happy to help and for one day, a hotel would be the way to go. The rates of Hotel Savoia are still reasonable even in high season so check them out. A few weeks ago my sister was also doing some research for friends and she found Casa Nildehttp://www.bbcasanildepositano.com/The rates for one night on the date you mentioned was €115 but we have never stayed here nor know or heard of others who have. However, based on the photos on their website, it looks lovely.Have fun!!
