The Luxury Travel Guide to Positano, Italy

There is no doubt that Positano is one of the most picturesque, summer escapes in Italy. Every time I arrive, I can’t stop pinching myself. The aesthetic of this dramatic, yet charming Italian town almost seems fake. It’s remarkable how perfectly the sun-bleached peach and terracotta buildings are perched into the cliffside. Something about the fresh seafood, crystalline waters, pebbled beachfront, and the unbelievable charm that makes Positano so spectacular.

You’re not going to want to haul a massive piece of luggage up and down the tremendously steep steps of Positano. Pack the essentials, and save yourself from luggage induced back pain, as most of Positano is only accessible by foot.

Half the magic of Positano is its’ striking aesthetic. The steep cliffside is filled with luxury, boutique hotels, fabulous shopping, exquisite dining, and of course, beachfront access. Anywhere you are in the town center, you are usually only steps away from a magnificent viewpoint.

Thanks to the coastal location, you can be sure to indulge in freshly caught seafood and handmade pasta dishes, many of which include the local specialty, lemons.

One of the best ways to experience Positano’s coastal living is to spend a day on a private boat exploring grottos and secluded beaches either along the Amalfi Coast or to the island of Capri.

Positano is definitely a posh destination, and to cater to its’ fabulous clientele is filled with unbelievably charming boutique hotels and luxurious, family-run villas.
