"A family-run, iconic Positano hotel that encourages a slow, leisurely stay — think long breakfasts, enjoying morning light on your terrace, and a relaxing dip in the pool rather than rushing around." - Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz is a writer and editor based in Rome.

"Here’s a seaside view along the Amalfi Coast, from the highest floor of the hotel. Besides that, you’ll have plenty of space to unwind: bedroom, living room, and bathroom complete with a very large, dare we say two-person, tub." - Yolanda Evans
"Le Sirenuse houses some of the most sought-after Amalfi Coast hotel rooms, with its rooms boasting unrivaled views of the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea. Can't justify the expense? Swing by for an Old Fashioned in Franco's Bar and admire the scenery for a fraction of the price—no reservation required."
"A celebrated hotel bar in Positano known for its exceptional cocktails and convivial atmosphere; it’s a favorite local spot for drinks and is noted for the playful touch of serving popcorn alongside cocktails." - Laura Itzkowitz
"An iconic family-run boutique tucked into Positano’s stepped hillside, run by the Sersale family since 1951 and designed to feel like a private home filled with antiques, oil paintings and potted plants. White-walled rooms feature Vietri floor tiles, heirloom walnut furniture and marble bathrooms with whirlpool tubs and bespoke Eau d’Italie toiletries. Dining highlights include the candlelit La Sponda and a champagne-and-oyster bar on a panoramic terrace; other amenities include a top-notch spa, a lemon-scented pool deck, free daily excursions on a vintage wooden boat, and rotating contemporary art installations." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
