Top neighbourhoods in Positano

A coastal town with buildings built on steep cliffs overlooking a turquoise sea.

Fornillo

Fornillo offers a peaceful escape from Positano's bustling centre with its own pristine pebble beach and crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. Follow the scenic coastal path along dramatic cliffs for breathtaking sea views. Charming pastel-colored houses cascade down terraced hillsides, creating a more authentic local atmosphere than the tourist-heavy main town. Family-run trattorias serve fresh seafood at prices lower than central Positano. Small hotels and B&Bs provide intimate accommodation with sea views. The area is best explored on foot via the 15-minute coastal trail to town, though the steep terrain requires good mobility.

Chiesa Nuova

Perched above Positano's tourist buzz, Chiesa Nuova offers a quieter slice of Amalfi Coast magic. Winding stone pathways connect whitewashed homes cascading down the cliffside. The neighborhood's namesake church anchors this authentic residential area where panoramic sea views come standard and lemon groves scent the air. Traditional family-run trattorias serve fresh seafood and handmade pasta for less than you'd pay city centre. Small local grocery shops and artisan workshops replace tourist traps here. Family-run B&Bs and boutique hotels in converted traditional homes provide mid-range lodging with million-dollar views. The steep terrain demands good walking shoes but rewards you with a genuine taste of coastal Italian life.

A coastal town with colorful buildings, boats on the water, and cliffs.

Positano City Centre

Positano City Centre spills down dramatic cliffs into the Mediterranean, creating a pastel-colored daydream worth every step. Narrow stone staircases lead past boutiques selling handmade sandals and ceramics to the black volcanic sands of Spiaggia Grande. The 10th-century Church of Santa Maria Assunta watches over everything with its majolica-tiled dome, while the Path of the Gods offers breathtaking coastal views. Seafront restaurants serve fresh catches and Campanian specialities, though reservations are essential during summer months. Getting around means embracing the vertical landscape on foot, as the village thrives on its pedestrian paths and limited vehicle access. Boutique hotels carved into cliffsides offer spectacular views for those willing to climb a few extra steps.

Family-run trattorias serve fresh seafood and handmade pasta on terraced patios with breathtaking vistas. Boutique hotels in converted villas provide Mediterranean charm with modern comforts.

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.
