General Description
In Positano, every day is a good day. Provided, of course, that you can manage climbing up and down narrow cobblestone lanes and the winding stone stairways that make up this ziggurat shaped town. Tempting boutiques, seductive little markets and classy cafés invite your attention along with tasty ristoranti, trattorie and osterie of every kind. Pastel colored homes garnished with archways open to flower filled balconies that face the sea from wherever they can.
All of the units in this large residential palazzo, like the town, are reached by steps. We counted 80 of them on our way to the fourth floor. The interiors of the two units we chose are stylish, well maintained and fully air conditioned.
Diamante is made up of two side by side apartments joined by a huge, furnished sea view terrace, parts of which are covered by a pergola. One of Diamante's bedrooms is noticeably smaller than the other. Glada, without a sea view, is a true two bedroom apartment that opens onto a furnished patio.
One hour of cleaning service with a linen and towel change, three days a week are included in the price. For a daily fee, the owner can arrange for the use of a nearby boutique hotel's swimming pool.
Paid parking is also available at this hotel located 75 yards away on the street above. Space must be reserved when booking due to limited availability.
Aside from its quality and comforts, one of the main advantages of Corona del Golfo is its location. A 10 minute walk leads down to the pedestrian only center of town and the sea. Seasonal ferries to Sorrento and Capri operate from here.
Being on the upper part of town, both the buses that continuously loop the city and the ones that connect the entire coast from Sorrento to Amalfi stop nearby, making this an excellent base for exploring the entire Amalfi coast without a car.
