In pastel-hued Positano, Le Sirenuse reigns supreme. Historic
and glamorous in equal parts, the hotel has killer views which mean
that the on-site Michelin-starred La Sponda is permanently booked
up. (It’s A-class Mediterranean-flavoured menu might also have
something to do with it).

Palazzo Avino (or as locals know it, the “Pink Palace”) sits
high on Ravello’s hillside. With bucket loads of Italianate
grandeur – vaulted ceilings, decorative tiled floors and the like –
the hotel delivers la dolce vita. Add its Michelin-starred
restaurant, Rossellinis, to the mix – surely one of the most
romantic dinner spots in town – and we are done.

Prince Albert of Monaco was one of the first guests to stay at
Monastero Santa Rosa and today such regality endures. Positioned
between Positano and Amalfi, the hotel is perched dramatically on
the edge of a sheer cliff; there is nothing low-key about this
place.
