3. Le Sirenuse Hotel

Nestled in a pretty fishing village looking out across the bay of Positano, the iconic Le Sirenuse Hotel is an unbeatable mix of beautiful, authentic design and standout views, without being right in the hustle and bustle of everything. A firm favourite with many famous minds, John Steinbeck described it back in 1953 "as an old family house converted into a first-class hotel", balancing warmth and charm with high spec amenities and services. An 18th century villa with a striking red and white exterior, it is run by the second generation of the Sersale Family, Antonio Sersale, the family whom originally built it as a family home, lending so much of that warmth that Steinbeck spoke of. Spend your days unwinding by the pool, enjoying drinks in their Champagne and Oyster Bar, in their world class AVEDA Spa or simply lazing in their downright gorgeous rooms and suites, each with their own private balcony or patio overlooking the bay. For lunch and dinner, enjoy their restaurant La Sponda, which specialises in Southern inspired Neapolitan dishes by their Michelin Starred chef Matteo Temperini.

6. Hotel Poseidon

Originally built as a family villa years ago, the cool and laidback Hotel Poseidon is still family run and you can really feel that throughout. When visiting, The Telegraph described it as ‘a gentle sort of place, full of memories yet not stuck in the past, a bit like going to stay with your rather cool granny’ which nails it on the head. Home to amazing views but away from the bustling crowds, it is still located close to the centre of Positano and is a great spot to explore the rest of the Amalfi Coast from, with their own VW Beetle to do so! The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, a wellness area and a Turkish bath built into the rocks for plenty of relaxation plus an elegant, rustic restaurant serving Neapolitan cuisine, alongside a sweet and savoury buffet available daily.
