Hotel Poseidon

Sixteen rooms step down the Via Pasitea cliffside in Positano, Hotel Poseidon placing each terrace to face the Tyrrhenian Sea rather than the lane's traffic. The main pool is carved into the rock garden midway down the property's four levels.

The restaurant sources from local Amalfi Coast fishermen and the nearby Praiano morning market; guests can request private terrace dining with 24-hour notice. A shuttle boat to Capri departs from the ferry dock six minutes on foot below the entrance.

Positano's main beach, Spiaggia Grande, sits an eight-minute walk downhill. The property's private path bypasses the steeper sections of Via Pasitea, making the return climb manageable even in summer heat.
