Punta Regina

Punta Regina stands on Viale Pasitea, the main road that threads through Positano's vertical labyrinth of pastel houses. The hotel's outdoor pool and rooftop terrace look out over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the dramatic sweep of the Amalfi Coast, with Spiaggia Grande below and the ferry jetty for Capri within easy reach of the hotel's gardens. Built in 1960 and thoughtfully maintained, Punta Regina offers 24-hour front desk service, a bar, room service and concierge assistance for arranging coastal excursions, boat hire and walking tours on the Sentiero degli Dei, the celebrated clifftop path above the village. The iconic dome of the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta and the boutiques and restaurants clustered around Positano's tiny piazza are just downhill. Punta Regina is a quiet, refined base for exploring the Amalfi Coast at its own unhurried pace.
