Hotel Il Gabbiano
Positano, Italy · ★ 4.7 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.4
A terracotta-tiled hot tub on your private balcony, the Tyrrhenian Sea straight ahead, Positano below.
Slip into the water and the view does the rest. At Hotel Il Gabbiano, the hot tub sits right on your private balcony or terrace, tiled in warm terracotta mosaic, with the Tyrrhenian Sea filling the horizon and Positano's whitewashed rooftops tumbling down below. Two Aperol spritzes on the ledge, a sun lounger a step away, nowhere else to be.
If you're looking for a hotel with a private in-room hot tub in Positano, this is one of the more considered options on the coast. The arched white interiors frame the sea through a wide picture window, so even from inside the room the water and the view feel connected. Guests rate it 9.4 out of 10, which, for a town where expectations run high, says something real.
One honest note: Positano is steep, and getting to and from the hotel will involve steps. That's true of almost everywhere here, but worth knowing before you book.

Questions, answered
Where exactly is the hot tub, and can you see the sea from it?+
The hot tub sits on your private balcony or terrace, not inside the room, and the sea view is direct. The photos show the Tyrrhenian Sea and Positano's coastline visible from the water.
Is this a good choice for a couple visiting Positano for the first time?+
It suits two people well, with a king bed, a private outdoor hot tub, and sea views in both room types. Bear in mind that Positano is a hilly town and reaching the hotel will involve some steps.
Which part of Positano gives the best views from an in-room tub?+
The higher terraced streets above the main beach, particularly around Via Cristoforo Colombo and the upper lanes toward Montepertuso, tend to offer the widest panoramas across the bay. Suites here sit above the busiest foot traffic, so you get the view without the noise.
When is the best-value time to book a tub suite in Positano?+
Late September through October is the sweet spot: the sea is still warm, the summer crowds have thinned, and nightly rates tend to ease back from peak-season highs. Our listings run from around €214 to €597 a night, and the lower end of that range becomes more available in shoulder season.
