Small Luxury Hotels in Positano, Italy

Small Luxury Hotels in Positano, Italy
Positano, Italy, is known as the Queen of the Amalfi Coast in the Mediterranean, settled in among little towns, ancient fishing villages and a turquoise seashore. Positano is an ideal seaside resort in between mountains with panoramic views. It is an international tourist destination and fashion mecca for its local boutiques, underwater archaeological sites, caves and numerous festivals held during the summer. There are several hotels and villas in Positano at which visitors can stay, but there are a handful of small luxury resorts that are much more worth staying at for the price.
