Why we love it
The setting
Covo dei Saraceni sits right on the Positano waterfront, about 100 metres from the town centre and a short walk from Spiaggia Grande, the main beach. The four-star hotel is built into the cliff, so most rooms and terraces look straight out over the bay. From here you can reach the ferry jetty in a couple of minutes, which makes day trips along the Amalfi Coast simple. The pastel houses stacked up the hillside behind the hotel are the view people come to Positano for.
What to expect
The Classic Double room comes with a sea view and breakfast each morning. Interiors keep a bright, traditional Amalfi look: white walls, blue accents and tiled floors, with a balcony or window facing the water in most rooms. The hotel has an outdoor pool, a terrace bar and a restaurant that opens onto the sea, plus a spa with massage treatments. Staff speak several languages and can help arrange boat trips and transfers.
Things to do nearby
Positano town starts at the hotel door, so the boutiques, cafes and the church of Santa Maria Assunta are all within a short walk. The ferry runs to Amalfi, Capri and Sorrento for day trips. Further afield, Salerno is around 24 km away with its cathedral and the Castello di Arechi, and Vesuvius National Park is about 23 km from the hotel. Naples Airport is roughly 33 km by road.
Best for
Couples after a sea-view base in the centre of Positano, with easy ferry access for exploring the coast and a quiet pool terrace to come back to.
