About Positano

Positano tumbles down a steep hillside to the sea on the Amalfi Coast, a vertical village of pastel houses, bougainvillea and boat-filled coves.

The village spills from the mountainside to the Spiaggia Grande, its main beach, in a cascade of pink, peach and yellow houses linked by stairways. The majolica-tiled dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta glints above the shore, and narrow lanes are lined with boutiques selling linen, handmade sandals and ceramics.

Top-ranked sights in Positano: Spiaggia Grande, Church of Santa Maria Assunta (Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta), Fornillo Beach.
