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"
