Learn more about Positano

Clinging to a dramatic cliffside, this pastel-painted village tumbles down to a pebble beach where azure waters lap against colourful fishing boats. Narrow lanes twist between boutiques selling handmade sandals and linen clothing that capture the essence of coastal Italian style. Sip limoncello at a café overlooking Spiaggia Grande, where umbrellas create a kaleidoscope against the sea. The Church of Santa Maria Assunta's majolica-tiled dome dominates the skyline, housing a Byzantine Black Madonna. For a quieter experience, follow the path to Fornillo Beach. Take the ferry to explore the Amalfi Coast without navigating hairpin turns. Visit in spring or autumn when the Mediterranean warmth remains but summer crowds have dispersed.

Villa Rosa

Villa Rosa

10/10 Excellent
"The young gentleman working at the front desk during our stay on August 27 and 28 was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond for us. My mom loves watching Spanish TV, and when we couldn’t find the channel she wanted, he came to our room and even connected the TV to one of his own personal streaming accounts so she could watch her shows. It was such a thoughtful gesture and really meant a lot to us. The room was very large, spacious, comfortable, and clean. Breakfast was also very good, and the property is in a great location. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and really appreciated the exceptional service from the front desk."
