Amalfi Coast

Positano Holiday Homes

Positano cascades down a steep hillside to a grey-pebble beach, its pastel houses stacked like a living watercolour. Staying in a holiday home here means waking up to that view every morning — stepping onto your terrace with a coffee and watching the fishing boats head out before the day-trippers arrive. BlueKeys manages a select portfolio of holiday homes in Positano, from intimate apartments for two to multi-bedroom villas with private pools.

Quick answer

Spiaggia Grande is best for beach access and restaurants. Fornillo is quieter with a lovely second beach. The upper village (Via Montepertuso) offers the best views and larger homes but requires more stair climbing. BlueKeys can help you choose based on your priorities.

Positano is divided into distinct neighbourhoods, each with a different feel. The central Spiaggia Grande area puts you closest to the beach, the restaurants and the nightlife — one-bedroom apartments here start from around €150 per night in May and rise to €300–€450 in peak summer. Fornillo, a ten-minute walk west, is quieter and home to some of the village's best-value rentals near the lovely Fornillo beach, with prices starting around €120 per night. The upper streets around Via Montepertuso offer panoramic views and larger properties from €180 per night, though you will need to be comfortable with stairs.

All BlueKeys properties in Positano are personally inspected. We look for sea views, outdoor space, natural light and character — because a Positano holiday home should feel special, not generic. Every apartment includes air conditioning, quality linens, a fully equipped kitchen and our local guide with restaurant recommendations, hiking routes and beach tips. Multi-bedroom villas with private pools are available from €500 per night, and our most exclusive properties — clifftop villas sleeping eight to ten guests — range from €800 to €1,500 per night in high season.

Booking directly through BlueKeys means no middleman fees. We manage every property ourselves, so the price you see is the price you pay — no service charge, no cleaning fee surprise at checkout. We know every apartment personally and can advise on the right fit: ground-floor access for older guests, family-friendly layouts with cots and high chairs, or romantic studios with private terraces for couples. Our local team handles check-in, daily cleaning on request, and is available by WhatsApp throughout your stay.

Getting around Positano means embracing the stairs — there are hundreds of them. We flag the stair count in every listing so you can choose a property that matches your mobility. For guests who prefer minimal walking, we offer apartments near the main road with shuttle access. Arriving from Naples? Our private transfer service delivers you right to your doorstep for around €130–€160 for up to four passengers.

Beyond the beach and the boutiques, Positano is a superb base for the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods), one of Italy's most spectacular hikes. The trail starts at Bomerano, reachable by local bus (€1.80), and descends into Positano over roughly four hours with views that rival any helicopter tour. After your hike, cool off with a swim at Fornillo beach or reward yourself with a plate of fresh scialatielli ai frutti di mare at a harbourside restaurant — around €16–€20 in the local trattorias. BlueKeys can organise guided hikes, cooking classes and private boat charters directly from Positano beach.
