Positano means “Place to Stop”, and it sure is THE place to stop!
Located in the South of Italy on the Amalfi coast, this almost vertical town is a showcase of colors and splendor. No wonder so many tourists fall in love with Positano.
Although Positano is one of the more expensive summer destinations in Europe, it is not to be missed.
More on “things to do in Positano” – later in the article.
Positano is widely regarded as a romantic destination. Its breathtaking views, charming architecture, and romantic ambiance make it a popular choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway.
The town’s scenic beauty, stunning sunsets, and intimate atmosphere create a perfect setting for romantic moments, whether it’s enjoying a candlelit dinner overlooking the sea or taking leisurely walks along the beach.
It is also one of the world’s most beautiful wedding destinations. Trust me your wedding photos will be amazing. One of the things I regularly see is a wedding dress hanging in the window of a hotel where the bride is getting dressed, and photos being taken of the dress with the stunning blue hues of the ocean behind it…
With its intimate atmosphere and the opportunity to create cherished memories, Positano is a perfect choice for a honeymoon filled with love and romance.
The town offers beautiful hotels with unmatched views of the blue ocean and stunning sunsets. From the jetty to the top of town, you will love Positano. Just strolling along the streets is pure joy (if you don’t count the thousands of stairs you’ll have to climb…)
The warm hospitality of the locals adds a personal touch to your vacation, making you feel truly welcomed and cared for. Indulge in delectable cuisine, savoring authentic Italian flavors and culinary delights. Immerse yourselves in the rich history and culture of the Amalfi Coast by visiting nearby attractions like Amalfi and Ravello.
A question that people ask a lot is: Is there a laundry service in Positano? The answer is ‘Yes, there is.’ In Italy laundries/laundromat/laundry places, are called a “Lavanderia”. During our visit L’Arcobaleno Lavanderia was a good choice. It is one of the laundromats that has the most beautiful views…in the world. LOL
You’ll find them at 273 Viale Pasitea near (almost opposite) Hotel Villa Franca. However your hotel will have a laundry service and when you stay in a B&B, they often have as well. But we all know there are times when you need a laundry nearby. 🙂
There is an activity for everyone’s pocket and likes. Maybe we should just mention that this is also the location of more than a handful of movies, over the years, such as ‘Under the Tuscan Sun’ (2004), and ‘Only You’ (1994) that starred Robert Downey Jr..
You will never be bored in Positano, because the list of things to do is endless.
Enjoy the Beach-Life:
There are several food stores in Positano where you can buy fresh produce. Some popular options include the famous upstairs Delicatessen and Casa e Bottega (which is a more upmarket boutique-like experience). These stores often source their fruits and vegetables from local suppliers. A small hidden gem (as many people do not know of it), is Euro Frutta 2000. They are situated at 188 Via G. Marconi, in Positano and their fruit and vegetables are usually very very good. They are open till late.
Start your perfect day in Positano with a delicious Italian breakfast overlooking the sea. Spend the morning lounging on the sun-soaked beach, dipping your toes in the turquoise waters. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the charming streets, exploring boutiques and savoring gelato. Indulge in a romantic seaside lunch, then hike up to a panoramic viewpoint for breathtaking vistas. End your day with a candlelit dinner and a moonlit walk along the shore. Pure bliss!
You might have seen this photo a thousand times all over the social media accounts. This is one of the ‘wish list/bucket list’ places in Positano. The restaurant is called La Sponda and is part of the very beautiful Hotel Le Sirenuse.
You have to note that the restaurant is usually fully booked months in advance during the tourist season.

The airport of Naples called Napoli Capodichino is the nearest international airport, located around 60 km from Positano.
The best time to visit Positano is during the spring and fall seasons. From April to June and September to October, the weather is generally pleasant, with mild temperatures and fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months. You can enjoy the beauty of Positano without the overwhelming heat or the high tourist influx. However, keep in mind that the weather can be unpredictable. You’ll often get a year when it is still cold in May. So, the best season is summer, BUT it gets extremely busy and extremely crowded in some places of town.
