Marincanto — Amalfi Coast romantic hotel stay
Elegant rooms with terraces overlooking the sea
Why we love it
The setting
Marincanto sits about 142 metres from the centre of Positano, on the cliffside above the sea. The colour-washed houses of the town stack up the hill behind it, and the water sits straight ahead. White-walled rooms open onto private terraces that face the bay, so the view is the first thing you see in the morning and the last at night.
What to expect
The hotel keeps a clean, pared-back look: white rooms, tiled floors, and large windows that pull in the light off the water. There is an outdoor pool and a private beach reached from the property, plus paid parking at 50 EUR per vehicle each night. Breakfast can be added when you book rather than coming as standard with the room.
Things to do nearby
The centre of Positano is a short walk downhill, with the beachfront, cafes, and the church of Santa Maria Assunta close by. Boats leave the marina for Capri and along the Amalfi Coast. Further out, Parco Regionale dei Monti Lattari is about 14 km away, and the Vesuvius National Park and the ruins of Pompeii sit roughly an hour by road.
Best for
Couples after a quiet, sea-facing base in Positano. The terraces, pool, and private beach suit people who want to slow down rather than pack in sights.

Arrival and terrace evening
Arrive in Positano and settle into the room. Spend the afternoon on the terrace or by the pool, then walk down into town for dinner as the lights come on across the hill.
Beach and boat day
Take the steps down to the private beach for a swim, or book a boat from the marina out to Capri or the coves along the coast. Back at the hotel, the pool deck catches the late sun.
Last morning in town
Walk the centre of Positano one last time, pick up a few things from the shops near Santa Maria Assunta, and have a slow breakfast on the terrace before checking out.
