My partner and I have booked to go to positano Italy next June. We are looking at spending 11 days here - is this too long? If so can you recommend some where else near we could also visit? We will have a car. Also can you recommend somewhere to stay in Positano - we are thinking 3 to 4 star but would like a swimming pool. I think we prefer boutique.

  1. I love Positano -- it's my favorite place on the Amalfi coast -- but I think that 11 days is a lot to be there unless you want to just really be hanging out.

    Both Amalfi and Capri island have a bit more going on and are also better connected by the ferries. Ravello is also a fantastic town but it's perched on a rock outcrop and has no beach. I'd suggest you split your stay between Positano and one or two of these other places or even the city of Napoli, which is much nicer than it is given credit for.

    As for hotels, the best hotel in Positano and quite frankly, anywhere in my opinion, is Le Sirenuse. It's a noble family's former summer home and it's got this intimate appeal coupled with great views and a wonderful staff. It's costly to stay here but well worth it if you can splurge. In the least eat dinner here.

    Other than this there are not a ton of places with pools in Positano -- the Hotel Regina is a nice option.

    Have a great trip.


  2. if you're spending longer than a week, why don't you try a villa or apartment. There are some fantastic places in positano and you'll get more for your money. I've used this company before http://www.holiday-velvet.com/amalfi-coa...

    You could also try breaking up the trip and stay in the amalfi coast for a few days or one of the villages near to Positano. Nocelle is a wonderful small village that overlooks Positano so the fews are amazing.
