About Positano
The summer retreat of rich Romans, Positano is effortlessly chic. Its black sandy beach is perfect for a lazy day, but if you fancy exploring further afield, there’s a pleasant walk to Fornillo Bay with its twin Saracen watchtowers. Boat trips to discover coral-lined sea grottoes are available in the harbour, or you could just take time to explore the narrow winding alleyways lined with tempting boutiques – elegant Italians come from as far as Rome to shop here!

Casa Albertina

The 3-star Casa Albertina is a charming 3-star hotel overlooking the vertical pastel-coloured town and the sea. It has just 20 en-suite rooms all superbly equipped with telephone, air conditioning, minibar and private terrace. There are two gorgeous sun terraces where breakfast is served.
