About Hotel La Bougainville Positano
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.
