"It is a subtly modern remake of a 1950s classic. Calling the hotel "deluxe" is something of a misnomer, but the Raito is a delightful standout." Full review

The average-size standard units, with their mediocre proportions and uneventful "garden" exposures, should be avoided.
Travel + Leisure
"The hotel makes the most of its location; its three restaurants, two alfresco swimming pools, and spa all have stunning panoramic sea views. So do many of the 77 sleek, high-ceilinged guest rooms." Full review

"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."
