Positano Holidays

Pastel-painted facades, sun-soaked cliffs and, oh yes, delicacies to die for. Positano is Italy's answer to 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. Of course, with looks like this, we understand the fuss.

Teetering on the edge of the Amalfi Coast, this splashy south-Italian town proudly overlooks a glorious emerald shore. Spiaggia del Fornillo is a pebbly stretch lined with fun-loving bars. Meanwhile, Spiaggia Grande is a sandy expanse dotted with deckchairs – perfect for catching those Mediterranean rays.

Flower-filled courtyards and lemon-themed ceramic shops are just waiting to make it into your photo album. A dreamy delight hides around every quaint little corner of Positano – where you can 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, Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta steals the show. Pop inside for a look back at local history, and discover the mythical siren stories of this coastal gem. There's plenty further afield too, with Sorrento, Amalfi and Capri each within a 30-minute drive.
