Buffet breakfasts (included in the rate) are served until 11am, so late risers needn't rush.

Room service
Staff will be happy to bring you breakfast in bed.

Activities

See & Do
Explore Positano’s narrow streets and steep stairways (not the best place for killer heels!). Take a private boat trip to Capri, skipping the day tripper crowds by cruising around the island and swimming in the famous Blue grotto. Hop aboard a water taxi to Amalfi, then take the local shuttle bus (or a cab) up to Ravello, with its resplendent hilltop views. Hire a moped or zip around the stunning coastline on one of the regular ferries.

Diary Dates

Mid August
Costumed pirates, good food and (in all probability) a wicked sunset make the Landing of the Saracens battle re-enactment a huge treat.
