Boutique hotels carved into cliffsides offer spectacular views for those willing to climb a few extra steps.

From the moment we were met by Gippy, the owner of Venus Inn, when we arrived in Positano by bus, he was a fantastic host, giving us lots of useful tips about the town and day trips along the Amalfi Coast and to the islands. The centre of Positano is an easy, downhill 20-minute walk from the B&B by road, and even quicker by stairs. Great views at breakfast from the terrace down to the sea and up to the nearby peaks.

Special thanks to Imma and Salvatore!

Room 24. Nice view from balcony. Nice family run business with cute family looking after us. Spacious, clean and everything there. Right location for us personally as not in the middle of it all but still easy access to everything. The area is in general overpriced and you need to be prepared to pay more in little shops and at restaurants than in Naples or Sorrento for example.

Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Positano's superb public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
