Covo dei Saraceni Positano

A fabulous coastal retreat in the Amalfi Coast's celebrated town of Positano, the Hotel Covo dei Saraceni overlooks one of Italy's most beautiful stretches of coast; lapped by the warm waters of the Mediterranean sea and dotted with ancient coves and secluded rocky beaches which inspired many a tale of mythical sea creatures and epic heroes.

Positano still retains its age-old folklore and fishing traditions, whilst the skill of local cobblers and tailors has led to the creation of Moda Positano, the world famous beach fashions which fill the little boutiques lining the flower-filled lanes of the coastal town.

Hotel Covo dei Saraceni's guest bedrooms are all beautifully furnished in traditional Mediterranean style; appointed with articles of handcrafted wooden furniture, terracotta paving tiles, and large windows which form immense picture frames around a quite unique seascape.

The Covo dei Saraceni's large open air terrace also looks out over the sea of Positano. Excellent fresh fish and seafood, home made pasta and a host of local specialities are served in the Hotel's elegant "Savino" Restaurant.

A sumptuous buffet awaits guests each morning at the Hotel Covo dei Saraceni's breakfast room, a charming dining venue named after the impressive lilac bougainvillea plant which flowers here from early spring to late summer. The hotel's swimming pool is located on the highest floor of the hotel from where a fabulous view out over the sea and the town of Positano can be enjoyed. Refreshing drinks and tasty light lunches are served at the poolside bar.

The Hotel Covo dei Saraceni is situated directly on the large beach or spiaggia grande, the true center of the fashionable social life of Positano. The Il Covo di Sarceni hotel is easy drive distance from the most celebrated destination of the Amalfi Coastsuch as Amalfi, Furore, Ravello, Atrani, the nearby archeological sites of Pompei, Ercolano, Paestum, Sorrento and the superb Naples.
