I think these pictures just cost me $10k. I'm not kidding. There's a famous quote from a famous individual about Positano.....something like it's one of those places you love when you're there but love even more when you're dreaming about it. Amalfi coast is exactly that for me. I'm so busy relaxing that I don't realize how enchanting and perfect everythig is until I return home.

For me, eating one of the best pizzas of my life while sitting on the lower deck of the Palazza Avino beach club and watching the world drift by over the water was possibly the most relaxing moment of my life. Ravello, sure, but I wrap all of it into the coast.....

Also made a lunch stop (it's less than a 5 minute boat ride from Il San Pietro and I routinely paddle boarded there & back) at Villa Tre Ville. Gorgeous property, but for a one/two night stay only:
And why not some more ISP

Absolutely stunning photos - looks gorgeous there! Thanks for posting.
Btw - the size of your photos make the reply box minute - luckily I have predictive text! Viewing them in the thread - they are a perfect size. (And edited to say you won't see that now as my post has started a new page!)

Stayed at the San Pietro Hotel 30 years ago on my honeymoon and I'd like to go back (with the same wife!!!!) but they have no availability from June 25-July 15 for a 3 night stay. I've searched this thread and tried some of the other hotels listed but they also have no rooms during the high season. Does anyone have any recommendations? Any 3 day period during this time would be fine. I'd try Ravello or Praiano I guess. Looking to spend about $1000 or less per night. Like there to be a pool and/or near the water. Don't want it to be too noisy at night. I saw someone wrote about Casa Angelina. Thanks for any imput.

Just posted this and got an email today from the Eden Roc in Positano that I am confirmed for June 28 - July 1. Anyone have any thoughts on this property? I'm sure it is not a luxury hotel but I guess it will have to do.

slightly less useful but you must stop in capri, its a different place at night from the day and i feel you are missing out not choosing a night there- we like the capri palace and JK palace, both beautiful, if you are not good with heights go for the former as the taxi ride to the palace is hairy to say the least! Oh and watch your wallets, we had a taxi charge us double to get back to marina grande. the man insisted we pay at the start and then claimed we had not paid him at the start at the end... GGRRRR he had our cases in his boot so we were stuck with the double bill. Worth it tho, its a magical island
This is a GREAT thread. I'm doing my research for my first trip to the Amalfi Coast. I booked 2 nights at the Palazzo Avino in Ravello. 3 nights at the Il San Pietro di Positano and 2 nights at the Hotel Excelsior Parco on Capri.
Would any of you recommend staying in another hotel on Capri vs. the Hotel Excelsior Parco? If so, would appreciate hearing some recommendations for hotels on Capri.
