There are few views as beautiful as catching sight of Positano as you round the curve in the glorious Amalfi Coast road and spy it nestling into the cliffs above the bright blue sea, surrounded by olive and citrus groves. Even the coolest of kids will find it impossible not to be impressed by the beauty of this peachy town. And, despite its reputation for glamour, Positano is a great place to bring your family. The beaches can be busy, but the sandy is soft and clean, the water clear, and the facilities, and variety in the flavours of the gelato, are excellent! Positano has a great range of family-friendly accommodation. Starting with the elegant palazzos and townhouse conversions, running through small beach hotels and self-catering apartments and villas, to simple guesthouses and B&Bs.There are options right in the thick of things, others slightly outside of town, or in the hills above. Here's our pick of the best.
