About Hotel Covo dei Saraceni
The Hotel Covo dei Saraceni sprawls across several terraces on the seafront, from where you can enjoy stunning views directly over Positano's coastline. A family-owned property, the hotel's welcoming reception area leads to a relaxing lounge furnished with large white sofas, whitewashed walls and climbing bougainvillea. It is a great place from which to escape the bustling seafront and watch the world go by.White, green and gold are used throughout the hotel to reflect the colours of Positano and lifts with glass backs reveal some interesting frescoed walls. Spend the days relaxing with views of the duomo and coastline from the hotel's rooftop panoramic terrace and swimming pool.
The cosy guest rooms are simply decorated, but this is more than compensated for by the hotel's location, views and well-known restaurant. The hotel's Restaurant Savino's terrace, complete with beach views, is an ideal spot for a light lunch or al fresco dinners.

About Positano
Italy's most spectacular stretch of coastline with steep-stepped Positano, clinging to tall cliffs; Amalfi with its whitewashed villas, fisherman's dwellings, merchant town houses and luxury hotels that overlook sapphire coloured seas; and beautiful Ravello, whose lofty setting commands inspirational views.POSITANO
A narrow ribbon of shimmering asphalt running over ravines and translucent sea, links Sorrento to the beauty of Positano, a vibrant village clambering down past narrow buildings and sleepy lanes. Shaded by the church of Santa Maria Assunta and its famous 13th century Black Madonna, meander down these lanes to the waterfront where a profusion of cafés, bars and restaurants serve freshly landed seafood. The hills above Positano are strewn with paths, making up the Trail of the Gods, which zigzags through lush vegetation leading walkers to the delightful hamlet of Nocelle.
PRAIANO
Set amongst the inlets of the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, just 4 miles (6,5km) from Amalfi and 5 miles (8km) from Positano is the ancient fishing village of Praiano. This delightful seaside resort presents itself to the seas as a cascade of white houses on a green flowering slope surrounded by sandy coves.
