This Family-Owned Boutique Hotel in Positano Checks All the Boxes - Hotels Above Par - Boutique Hotels & Travel

"A family-owned boutique hotel in the heart of Positano that feels like visiting your Italian relatives, run as a home by the Aonzo family. The property has 48 rooms and suites—many booked a year in advance—most of which offer large windows, private balconies, and sweeping sea views. Guests can start the day on the terrace with a picture-perfect breakfast (think cappuccino and a crispy sfogliatella with tangy ricotta), then take advantage of a complimentary vintage VW Beetle for a self-driven spin along the Amalfi Drive (manual transmission; reserve at check-in). On-site amenities include an outdoor pool, spa, patio dining, a casual snack bar, and a fine-dining terrace restaurant called Il Tridente. Evenings are made for aperitivo on the terrace with a seasonal cocktail program focused on local fruits and herbs and generous complimentary snacks—perfect as a meal alternative before dressing up for a formal dinner. Centrally located and accessible by car (a welcome perk in a town known for steep steps), it’s steps from the beach, old town, and nightlife. Practical details: rates start around $350/night in shoulder season and exceed $1,000 in high season, and the closest airport is Naples International Airport."
