Positano Holidays

Pastel-painted facades, sun-soaked cliffs and delicious delicacies – Positano is Italy's answer to the Hollywood Hills. It's been a celeb hotspot for decades and still draws a star-studded crowd to this day. Not bad for a one-time fishing village, though with looks like this, it's easy to understand the fuss.

Teetering on the edge of the Amalfi Coast, this south Italian village proudly looks out over a rugged emerald shore. Spiaggia del Fornillo is a pebbly stretch lined with fun-loving bars. Meanwhile, Spiaggia Grande's sandy expanse comes dotted with deckchairs – perfect for catching those Mediterranean rays.

Flower-filled courtyards and lemon-themed ceramic shops are ready and waiting to join your photo album around every little corner of Positano. Sip a cappuccino after indulging in homemade pasta at an old-school trattoria – you sure won't leave this holiday feeling hungry.

When it comes to culture stops, the Church of Santa Maria Assunta steals the show. Pop inside for a look back at local history, and learn the mythical siren stories of this coastal gem. There's plenty further afield too, with scenic stops like Sorrento and Amalfi each about a 40-minute drive through jaw-dropping land-and-seascapes.
