Positano is the most exclusive resort on the Amalfi Coast
and a paradise for those in search of romance. The stylish town
leans against the rock face, with a cascade of brightly coloured
houses overlooking rugged cliffs and the sea below, providing
a frame-work for its two enchanting black volcanic beaches.
Positanos’ narrow passageways meanders past bijoux boutiques,
fashionable pavement cafes, and restaurants that specialise
in seafood. Houses and hotels are perched in spectacular
locations to capture the magnificent views. The soft greens
hills and valleys, the azure sea and sky, and the warm, faded
yellow-pink buildings all meld together in this palette of seductive
colour. In small villages the air is heavy with the scent of
roses and carnations. Not only is Positano a romantic and stylish
destination but the town is also steeped in history and preserves
many artistic and archaeological treasures. In the middle of
the village sits the beautiful church of ‘Santa Maria
Assunta.’
