Positano is the hillside town on the Amalfi Coast that's instantly recognisable for pastel coloured houses tumbling down the hillside and hugging the waterfront. Take a closer look and you discover quaint streets lined with designer shops and smart restaurants, almost all with amazing views on the side.

Of course the Amalfi Coast has some of the best beaches in Italy , and quite a few are in Positano. But if you want something more than sand and sun, a small group snorkelling tour in Amalfi's warm summer seas is also an unforgettable experience.
Where to stay

For budget stays: Budget stays on the Amalfi Coast are rare, but Hotel Savoia Positano bucks that trend beautifully.
For luxury stays: But if you want to splash out, luxurious Hotel Villa Franca Positano commands incredible views from the top of the town.
For beaches: Hotel Pupetto sits on Furnillo Beach and offers direct access to the sands. Book a room with a sea view if you can. But if not, the hotel also has a wonderful, sunny terrace overlooking the Mediterranean.
For vintage Positano: For a terrace of your own and views to match, Buca di Bacco is vintage Positano. Set on Spiaggia Grande, the town's main beach, the hotel also offers more modest rooms, still charming, but without private terraces.
For great views: Hotel Palazzo Murat is in the heart of Positano, yet only a few minutes from beaches. The hotel pool has great views over the town rooftops and most of the good-sized, well-equipped rooms are in the Palazzo's modern extension.
