Villa delle Palme - Positano 3 stars

Ever since Domenico Milo, one of Positano's best-loved entrepreneurs, purchased the former residence of the town mayor in 1959 and converted it into a splendid hotel, Villa delle Palme has been offering the warmest of welcomes to travelers visiting Italy's legendary Amalfi Coast.

Villa delle Palme's bright, spacious bedrooms are all tastefully furnished in classic Mediterranean style and equipped with every modern comfort. Each room opens out on to a terrace or balcony from where to enjoy a marvelous view of the center of Positano. Wi-Fi internet connectivity is available in the lobby.

Hotel Villa delle Palme is situated in Positano's picturesque Fornillo district, where many of the town's most elegant shops and restaurants are located. Those wishing to savor the traditional cuisine of the Amalfi Coast should be sure to book a table at either the Saraceno d'Oro or Mediterraneo: excellent restaurants both run by the same management as the hotel.

Both Positano's Spiaggia Grande and Spiaggia Fornillo beaches are located within minutes of the hotel, and can be easily reached by foot, via the characteristic flights of steps which, from the town center, lead down to the sea. The towns of Amalfi, Praiano, Furore and Maiori are all just a short and extremely scenic car or boat ride away.

Three good reasons

• A beautiful Mediterranean home-from-home in Positano.
• Experiencing life in a fishing village on the Amalfi Coast.
• The view of the center of Positano from your bedroom balcony.
