Hotel Poseidon

An introduction to Hotel Poseidon

With its lovely views, charming accommodation and friendly, family-run atmosphere, the Hotel Poseidon must rate as one of the most appealing places to stay in Positano. The hotel has evolved from humble beginnings in the early 1950s, when the Aonzo family from Genoa decided to rent out a couple of rooms in the beautiful summer villa they had built for themselves amid orange and lemon groves. Little by little, the villa was expanded into the impressive hotel it is today. The family still live here and continue the tradition of providing genuine, unobtrusive hospitality and creating a relaxed easy-going ambience.

The layout of this rambling building is charmingly quirky - the oldest lift in Positano, a rather beautiful construction made from gleaming dark wood, leads to the rooms and suites, all of which are prettily and individually furnished. Each has its own balcony or terrace with views over the terraced gardens or bay. There are numerous cosy places for relaxing, but the best spot to savour Positano's fine views is the large terrace that surrounds the swimming pool.

An array of trees offer shade and flowers and shrubs add colour and scent to this picturesque scene. This is also the panoramic setting for the breakfast, lunch and dinner in the summer, while on cooler days, the hotel's delicious home cooking is served in the elegant dining room. The hotel also boasts a well-equipped gym and beauty centre. Whether you choose to make use of the many rejuvenating treatments available or simply let Positano's unique atmosphere work its magic, a stay at the Poseidon is a wonderfully relaxing experience.
