Villas in Positano
Positano suits a small family or two couples who want the classic Amalfi Coast village, with boats from Marina Grande out to Li Galli. Only a couple of homes are available, and you will climb: stairways replace streets and parking is very hard to find.

About Positano
Positano is a vertical village built into the rock above the Tyrrhenian Sea, held together by stairways and alleys, with a single main road winding down to the harbour. The church of Santa Maria Assunta, under a yellow, green and blue majolica dome, stands a short walk from Marina Grande, the main beach and ferry landing. Fornillo, a smaller stony cove reached by path, is quieter, with no ferry traffic. After dark, life centres on the beach bars and Music on the Rocks, the club at the far end of the main beach. Both homes are close together in the village.
Is Positano right for you?
- Best for
- Walkers and boat lovers who don't mind steps
- Not for you if
- Anyone with limited mobility, since the village runs on stairways and the hill road is congested.

Positano villa holidays: questions answered
Is the beach in Positano sand or pebble?
Both, depending on which one. Marina Grande, the main beach and ferry landing, is about 400 metres of sandy shore. Fornillo, reached by path, is a smaller stony cove with no ferry traffic, good for snorkelling.
Can you get to Positano without a car?
Yes, and it is often easier. SITA coaches link Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi, with tickets bought beforehand at bars or newsagents. Ferries come in from Amalfi and Sorrento, and a local orange bus runs up and down the hill road.
