Hotel La Bougainville Positano in Positano, open May–August.
Perched on the dramatic cliffs of Positano's coastline, Hotel La Bougainville commands sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the pastel-hued village stacked vertically below.
The property's terraced gardens descend toward the water's edge, offering ceremony spaces where Mediterranean light reflects off limestone and azure depths.
Stone archways, bougainvillea-draped pergolas, and the constant sound of waves create a naturally theatrical backdrop for celebrations.
Absolutely loved our hotel. Staff is very attentive and there to help at any time. Although shower was tiny, bathroom and room were a good size. Location was perfect. 5 minutes to the beach (10 minutes back lol) We tried breakfast in the dining room and in out room. Would definitely come back. Such a beautiful view to wake up to.
