About This Guide
Positano has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, Hotel Marincanto, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. Hotel Buca di Bacco offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while Il San Pietro di Positano provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in Positano, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.

Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Centro
A terracotta-painted villa with a magnificent pool terrace and sweeping Positano bay views, Marincanto occupies the sweet spot between Positano's ultra-luxury top tier and its modest pensioni — offering genuine sea views, a quality restaurant, and well-appointed rooms at prices that allow a week's stay rather than just two nights.
Centro
Perched directly above Positano's main beach at Via Rampa Teglia, Buca di Bacco is the most animated hotel in the village — the beachside restaurant and bar is the social hub of Positano's high season, and the rooms directly above the Mediterranean action make it the liveliest address in town.
Arienzo
Carved into the cliff face between Positano and Praiano, Il San Pietro is one of the world's great hotel achievements — a family-owned property that descends 12 floors through the cliff to a private beach, with each room individually designed and every terrace offering unobstructed sea views. A masterpiece of Italian hospitality.
Centro
The uncontested jewel of the Amalfi Coast, Le Sirenuse has occupied its clifftop position above the main beach since 1951, when the Sersale family first opened their ancestral home to guests. The pink palazzo, Champagne bar, and La Sponda restaurant — where every table is lit by hundreds of candles — deliver a version of Italian luxury that sets the global standard.
Centro
Occupying the 18th-century summer palace of King Joachim Murat at the heart of Positano's central piazza, this elegant property delivers maximum character in the most central location. The bougainvillea-draped garden courtyard and proximity to the church beach make it one of the most romantic settings on the coast.
Centro
A family-owned clifftop hotel offering spectacular sea views, a pool terrace that has featured in a hundred magazine shoots, and genuine Amalfi Coast hospitality at a price somewhat below Positano's stratospheric top end. The Poseidon's terraced gardens and personal service make it one of the village's most beloved addresses.
