The Italian Amalfi Coast ~~~ Positano

A popular town residing just to the south of central Italy, Positano is located next to the extremely beautiful Amalfi Coast, which is known in Italian as the Costiera Amalfitana. Positano enjoys a fairly sheltered setting, with its main cove featuring a backdrop of steep hills and cliffs, many of which are crammed with tiers of brightly colored houses, almost like giant wedding cakes.

Very little space in Positano has been wasted and buildings are squeezed in everywhere possible, particularly if there is a coastal view to be taken advantage of. However, it does mean that there are a number of rather steep stairways dotted around the town, and some very winding roads, almost hugging the cliffs.

Hotel Pasitea

Located dramatically on the rocks of Positano, the Hotel Pasitea is a fine example of Mediterranean architecture with its typical examples of white and lava stone decorations and wrought iron furniture.Due to the characteristic terraced structure the Hotel Pasitea offers a spectacular view from each private balcony directly on the Mediterranean Sea.

All rooms offer an LCD TV and a balcony overlooking the sea. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and in the business center.

Enjoy the hotel’s unique wine bar that combines a large wine cellar with traditional cooking. Discover the tastes of local

specialties like Mozarella from Agerola, Cetara tuna, Limoncello, and pizza bread from the famous Vico-Equense area.
