Hotel Pasitea, Positano

The Hotel Pasitea is one of the international Best Western chain of hotels, and was recently renovated to a very high standard. It has 26 charming rooms, each with private bathroom facilities, ironing board, air-conditioning, minibar and coffee and tea-making facilities. The bar area of this Positano hotel is a real delight, with a lavish, blue-tiled floor and a grand piano for evening entertainment. The hotel's very own restaurant serves an impeccable variety of local and national cuisine, as well as an enviable selection of wines.

The town of Positano is popular with the rich and famous: film director Franco Zeffirelli has a villa nearby and the beaches are busy with well-dressed sun-worshippers. The town is uniquely built on a steep hillside, with narrow streets tumbling down onto Spiaggia Grande, the main cove. Cheerful shops and stalls sell locally-produced linen and cotton goods, and it is essential to sample the sharp lemon aperitif, limoncello, which is also native to the area.

Guests wanting to explore the rest of the Amalfi Coast are ideally positioned at this Positano hotel to either drive to Sorrento and Naples (which are at distances of 15 and 60 kilometres respectively), or enjoy a boat ride there instead. Attractions in Naples (Napoli), the region's sprawling capital, include the Royal Palace and San Carlo Opera House. The hotel's professional staff can arrange transportation to wherever guests wish to go, and can also pick up visitors from the airport upon request.
