The City Code · Italy
Positano
Vertical, sun-struck and quietly formal after dark.
Arriving
By boat from Naples or Capri rather than the coast road — faster, calmer, and far more beautiful.
Book this first
The hotel, and the beach club loungers with it. Both are allocated to returning guests first.
What is worn
Linen, and sandals you can climb three hundred steps in.
Money & manners
Round up generously; most of the staff are seasonal and superb.
The golden hour
Seven in the evening from a terrace, when the town turns the colour of apricot.
The usual mistake
Bringing wheeled luggage. There is no flat ground anywhere.
From the collection
The stay, the table, the morning
