I Giardini dei sensi

The I Giardini Dei Sensi – which means Garden of the Senses – is living proof that sometimes the best things come in small packages. This four-studio boutique property is seriously swoon-worthy – think flower draped walkways, and sun terraces that overlook the Gulf of Positano and the iconic Amalfi coast. Plus, the well-decorated, chic studios are a pleasure to retire to after a day’s sightseeing.

You’ll find the hotel in a hilltop spot just outside Positano. There’s a bus stop outside that’ll take you into the heart of town in around 15 minutes, or you can stick around the local area and explore on foot. The hotel is actually right at the start of the Il Sentiero Degli Dei hiking trails, which comes with unrivalled views along this stunning coastline. Take the steps down to the sea, meanwhile, and you can sunbathe on Arienzo Beach – it’s about a five-minute walk.
