Perched on the cliffs overlooking Positano, it’s perfectly located for panoramic vista, exploring the boutiques and bars of the town, and heading further afield in the hotel’s fleet of classic boats. Though you could easily spend most of your trip in the hotel, using the TechnoGym equipment and Megaformer machine, indulging in the expert therapies, holistic approach and Aveda treatments of the spa or simply sipping Aperols by the pool.
