Arienzo
Once the private compound of Franco Zeffirelli, Villa Treville is now an exclusive nine-villa retreat that operates more like a private estate than a hotel. The theatrical interiors, clifftop position, and ultra-private atmosphere make it the Amalfi Coast's most distinctive luxury experience for those who prioritise seclusion above all.
Centro
A terracotta-painted villa with a magnificent pool terrace and sweeping Positano bay views, Marincanto occupies the sweet spot between Positano's ultra-luxury top tier and its modest pensioni — offering genuine sea views, a quality restaurant, and well-appointed rooms at prices that allow a week's stay rather than just two nights.
Chiesa Nuova
High above the main village on the hillside of Chiesa Nuova, La Scalinatella is Positano's secret hideaway — a clifftop property offering some of the most dramatic panoramic views on the entire Amalfi Coast, with an intimate atmosphere and genuine tranquillity away from the tourist thoroughfares.
Centro
A charming, family-run small hotel near the church of Santa Maria Assunta, Villa Rosa offers simple, well-maintained rooms and a terrace with views at some of the most accessible prices in central Positano. An honest, warm alternative to the village's many overpriced poseur hotels.
Arienzo
Carved into the cliff face between Positano and Praiano, Il San Pietro is one of the world's great hotel achievements — a family-owned property that descends 12 floors through the cliff to a private beach, with each room individually designed and every terrace offering unobstructed sea views. A masterpiece of Italian hospitality.
Centro
The uncontested jewel of the Amalfi Coast, Le Sirenuse has occupied its clifftop position above the main beach since 1951, when the Sersale family first opened their ancestral home to guests. The pink palazzo, Champagne bar, and La Sponda restaurant — where every table is lit by hundreds of candles — deliver a version of Italian luxury that sets the global standard.

Preguntas Comunes
Not all rooms in waterfront hotels face the water. Request a water-view room when booking, and consider upgrading if the standard room doesn't include it.
Waterfront hotels tend to be centrally located near major attractions, restaurants, and transport links, making them excellent bases for exploring.
