Our stay was a very quick one... arrived just after check-in time, and were picked up by our driver about 24 hours later. Upon arrival, their front desk was very informative on many logistical questions we had. There's a path that leaves the back of the hotel and connects with stairways and other pathways that lead you all the way to the beach to avoid walking any of the main roads. But, we found out that walking the road was not bad at all. We just followed the instructions from the front desk to stay on the side of the road where cars are parked... that way we could step off the road between parked cars to clear the road for tour busses, etc. Only hard thing about the walk to the beach was the August heat... yes, we were sweating, but we would have done the same regardless of our hotel location. I'm 62 but still, the walk's views, interesting pathways, lower room rate than a room lower on the hillside more than made up for the climb. This facility was extremely clean, and the breakfast provided was simply AMAZING in all the ways that a Positano patio with a view breakfast can be measured! After we checked out from our room on day 2's morning, we left our luggage at the hotel and walked to the beach. Mid-afternoon we returned to the hotel. The front desk offered us towels, use of their lobby bathroom to change clothes in, brought us ice water, and kept a lookout for our driver while we cooled off inside with A/C awaiting our ride back to Naples.
