Star Service "Set on a promontory in town, this proves a more colorful version of the Spanish NH chain's Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi, on the south side of this sexy seaside resort." Full review
Insight Guides "Ibsen penned much of The Doll’s House in this converted 13th-century monastery. In summer, breakfast is served in the Byzantine cloister, and rooms and the pool area enjoy wonderful views."
Travel + Leisure "Perched on the promontory at the edge of town for the best views over the rooftops and up the coastline, this gorgeous old cloister was reportedly founded in 1222 by St. Francis himself." Full review

"The 43-room Hotel Luna Convento is an uppper-middle-range property with an excellent cliffside location overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, just a five-minute walk from town." Full review
Fodor's "The hotel also owns the landmark Torre Saracena (Saracen Tower), now home to a bar and nightspot, which sits across the highway and stands guard over Amalfi's seaside promontory." Full review

Star Service "Exceptional accommodations, a secret garden, a magnificent seasonal restaurant and drop dead gorgeous views of the towering granite Maritime Alps rising behind the hotel, not the sea." Full review
Concierge "Step off the busy, boutique-lined lane that heads beachward in Positano into the entrance courtyard of Palazzo Murat, and suddenly you're in another world."
Frommer's "This 18th-century baroque palace near the marina is said to have been built for Gioacchino Murat... today it's one of our our favorite places to stay in the town center." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"Unlike most hotels in the cliffside town of Positano that require a steep walk to reach the beach and town center, the 17th-century Palazzo Murat is located smack in the town center’s pedestrian zone." Full review
Fodor's "Past a bevy of resort boutiques, head to Via dei Mulini to view the prettiest garden in Positano: the 18th-century courtyard of the Palazzo Murat." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Palazzo Murat enjoys a prime position just off Positano’s main drag down to the beach, yet is shielded from the worst of the crowds by its lush, exotic garden." Full review
Afar Magazine "Entrenched in garden-filled grounds rife with lush blooms and fragrant jasmine and citrus trees, the Palazzo Murat manages to feel private and secluded from the crowds despite its central location." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"A magnificent hotel... Rooms, five in the original part of the building (more expensive), 25 in the newer section, are decorated with sumptuous antiques." Full review
Travel + Leisure "If you prefer to stay right in the center of it all, the charming Hotel Palazzo Murat is located in the pedestrian zone by the waterfront"
