Covo dei Saraceni Positano

Covo dei Saraceni is a luxurious 5 star hotel in Positano, one of the most sought-after destinations on Italy's spectacularly beautiful Amalfi Coast. In the past, on the rocky platforms now occupied by the hotel's elegant suites and sun kissed terraces, the fishermen of Positano used to dress up as pirates and reenact the Saracen incursions which were once an all too frequent occurrence in this part of the Mediterranean.

Inspired by Positano's ancient aristocratic residences, Covo dei Saraceni's light-filled public rooms and bedrooms feature elegant classical columns, sweeping arches and exquisite stucco work. A number of the hotel's suites open out on to romantic terraces from where gorgeous views of the sea surrounding the Amalfi Coast can be seen. The sensitive integration of the latest in modern technology offers maximum comfort, whilst ensuring that the hotel's old world charm remains intact.

Guests dining in Covo dei Saraceni's famous "Ristorante Savino" are treated to a fabulous selection of the Amalfi Coast's best-loved dishes, enjoying the unique aromas and flavors of the area's abundant fish and seafood and sun-ripened fruit and vegetables. In the mornings, a generous buffet breakfast is served in the attractive breakfast room located on the first floor of the building. On the roof top, with views of the main beach of Positano and the sea, Covo dei Saraceni's seawater swimming pool is the perfect place where to laze in the Mediterranean sun. An excellent range of tasty snacks and light lunches are available at the poolside bar.

In the center of Positano, only steps away from the beach and the tiny boutiques and artist studios which line the lanes of the historic center, Hotel Covo dei Saraceni lies within easy reach of the Lattari Mountains and all the other towns of the Amalfi Coast.
