Positano is located in a spectacular and panoramic position along one of the most fascinating coastal stretches of Amalfi Coast, precisely in the heart of the bay between Punta Germano and Capo Sottile. Embracing the village like a crown are the green hills of Monte Comune, Santa Maria del Castello, S. Angelo a tre Pizzi, Canocchia, Campo dei Galli and Paipo.
With its vertical structure, the town appears to the visitor as a breathtaking pyramid overlooking the sea. The romantic atmosphere and elegance of this corner of paradise make Positano a seductive dream, suspended between the blue of the sea and the blue of the sky.
From a culinary point of view, the most representative dish is scialatielli all'amalfitana. This preparation, which is part of the local gastronomic tradition, enhances the authentic taste of the region through the use of fresh, quality ingredients typical of the area.
