Why Where You Stay in Amalfi Coast Matters
Amalfi Coast lodging defines the trip. Most travelers should pick one town and stay put — moving around with luggage on this coast is brutal.
Positano
Postcard, expensive, lots of stairs.
- Best for: iconic vertical village, splurge, romance
Praiano
Less crowded, easier prices, beautiful coastal access.
- Best for: quieter local pick, sunset side

600+ curated European tours, tastings, and cultural experiences.
Amalfi

- Best for: ferry access, working town with character
Ravello
High above the coast, calm, romantic.
- Best for: mountain views, music festival
Avoid These Areas
- Naples-area hotels for an Amalfi trip
- Multiple-town hops with luggage
