Palazzo Talamo

Lined along the vertiginous terraces of Via Pasitea 117, Palazzo Talamo steps down Positano's cliff face so that balconies and sea-view terraces open directly onto the Tyrrhenian horizon rather than the narrow lane behind.

Rooms feature private bathrooms, walk-in closets, minibars, and flat-screen TVs; breakfast is delivered to each room rather than served in a communal space. A bar, concierge, and tour desk cover ferry bookings to Capri and Amalfi excursions without guests descending to the waterfront offices.

Via Pasitea is Positano's main artery, threading between ceramic-tiled churches and bougainvillea-draped staircases down to the Spiaggia Grande — roughly a ten-minute walk from the palazzo's entrance.
