Built around a small curving bay on a steep hill overlooking the island of the Sirens, Positano is located in the heart of the Sorrento Peninsula. Once a sleepy fishing village, Positano is one of the most picturesque towns on the Amalfi coast. The typical Moorish style houses are lined up along the slopes facing the sea. Steep steps, narrow lanes, courtyards and gardens furnish the rest of the town.
