Hotel Eden Roc – Premium beachside hotel
Elegant rooms, fine dining and stunning coastal views
Why we love it
The setting
Hotel Eden Roc sits on the cliffs of Positano, on the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. The terraces look straight out over the Tyrrhenian Sea, and the town's pastel houses spill down the hillside towards the beach below. Getting around means steps and narrow lanes, which is part of how Positano works. The hotel is family-run, and the building keeps its older Mediterranean character rather than a modern resort feel.
What to expect
Rooms are bright, with white walls and hand-painted tile floors typical of the region. Most open onto a balcony or terrace facing the water. There is a small outdoor pool on a sun deck above the sea, plus a bathing area to relax between trips into town. Breakfast and meals are served on a covered terrace with the coastline in front of you. Breakfast is charged separately rather than included, so add it at booking if you want it.
Things to do nearby
Positano itself is the main draw, with its beach, boutiques and seafood restaurants a walk or shuttle ride away. From here you can reach the rest of the Amalfi Coast by road or boat, including Amalfi and Ravello. Day boats run to Capri across the water. Further out sit the larger sights of the region, from the Monti Lattari park inland to Salerno and Vesuvius National Park, all within reach for a longer excursion.
Best for
Couples wanting a quiet sea-view base on the Amalfi Coast, and travellers who like a small family-run hotel over a big resort. Best suited to those happy with steps and slopes in exchange for the views.
