CITY GUIDE · AMALFI COAST & CAPRI
We compare hotels here by village first (Sorrento, Positano, Praiano, Conca dei Marini, Amalfi, Ravello, Capri town, Anacapri), then by how you reach the room: lifts, stairs, shuttles or ferries.
On the mainland coast, Positano suits travelers who want steep, walkable village streets: Le Sirenuse, Il San Pietro di Positano, Villa Treville and Hotel Villa Franca are all here. Praiano, a quieter stretch beside Positano, is where Casa Angelina sits. Conca dei Marini, between Positano and Amalfi, is for a retreat with few other buildings around: Borgo Santandrea and Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa. Amalfi itself suits first visits that rely on ferries and buses: Santa Caterina on the edge of town, and Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel on the cliff above it. Ravello sits high above the sea and suits travelers who prefer gardens and views over beach time: Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast, and Palazzo Avino. Sorrento is a good base for Capri ferries, the trains to Pompeii and the Naples side of the bay, with Bellevue Syrene, Ara Maris Hotel & Spa and Hotel Mediterraneo Sorrento. On Capri, Capri town puts you close to the Piazzetta: Capri Tiberio Palace, Hotel La Palma, Pazziella, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Capri, and, along the road toward Marina Grande, Villa Marina Capri and J.K. Place Capri. Anacapri is higher and calmer: Jumeirah Capri Palace and Caesar Augustus, Relais & Chateaux Hotel.
