🗺️ Things to see on your doorstep

📍 The ancient village of Positano: a walk through history and glamour

Strolling through the historic centre of Positano is like walking through a living painting, suspended between the sky and the sea.
The narrow streets, colourful stairways covered with bougainvillea and craft boutiques tell stories of tradition, art and lively local creativity every day.

Here, every step reveals enchanting views: stone arches, terracotta floors, shops smelling of lemons, ceramics and handmade linen. It is a place where cars are unnecessary: everything is within walking distance, from small restaurants with panoramic terraces to balconies suspended over the sea. Surrender to the slow pace of Positano and let yourself be seduced by its bohemian atmosphere, where every step is an exploration and every glimpse a postcard.

📍 A jewel of art and faith: the Church of Santa Maria Assunta

In the centre of the village, in Piazza Flavio Gioia, stands the majestic Church of Santa Maria Assunta, immediately recognisable by its lemon and blue majolica dome, which stands out iconically among the houses of Positano.
Located just above a long staircase, it is a place of worship but also a treasure trove of art: it houses the ancient 12th-century Byzantine icon of the Black Madonna, the silver bust of Saint Vitus and precious naves decorated in Baroque style. Legend has it that the statue of the Madonna re-emerged from the sea, marking the beginning of the town's devotion.

In addition to its spiritual charm, its location offers a privileged view of the beach below and the open sea. A visit here is not just an act of faith: it is an immersion in the cultural and historical heart of Positano, amid sacredness, light, beauty and unforgettable views.

📍The Roman Archaeological Museum (MAR)

You are also close tBeneath the silence of the earth, a few steps from the lively beach of Positano, lies a place that will take you back in time: the Roman Archaeological Museum (MAR).
This hidden gem is right under the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, where recent digs have uncovered the remains of an ancient Roman villa from the 1st century AD, which miraculously survived the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Walking through the rooms of the MAR is like entering a parallel dimension: suspended glass walkways guide you through frescoes with colours that are still vivid, refined mosaics and private rooms decorated with Pompeian elegance. A fascinating place that reveals the most intimate side of Positano: that of its noble origins, when it was a refuge for Roman aristocrats in search of peace and beauty.

Here, you don't just learn about history, you live it. Every detail, from the wall paintings to the opus sectile flooring, tells the story of the lives, rituals and passions of another era. If you are looking for authentic emotions and want to add a cultural touch to your stay, the MAR is a must-see.

You are also close to:

📍 Positano's Spiaggia Grande: the lively heart of the town, where the sea blends with the charm of the colourful houses that descend along the hillside. Here you can relax under a parasol, sip an aperitif with a view of the sea or set off on a boat trip to Capri or Amalfi
📍 The rural village of Nocelle: the ideal place for those seeking unforgettable views and a timeless atmosphere. Easily accessible from Positano or at the end of the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods), it offers spectacular views of the Li Galli islands and the coast.
📍 The Saracen towers of Positano: built to defend the coast from pirate raids, the Saracen towers still dot the landscape with their imposing elegance. In Positano, you can admire the Torre Trasita, overlooking the beach, the charming Torre Fornillo, nestled between the greenery and the sea, and the more secluded Torre Sponda.

🎉 Things to do nearby

Staying at Casa Donna Cuncè is the perfect opportunity to explore every enchanting corner of the Amalfi Coast, from iconic views to hidden gems.

✅ From here, you can easily set off to discover the most famous villages, such as Amalfi with its extraordinary Duomo and lively artisan workshops, or Ravello, an elegant and peaceful panoramic terrace overlooking the sea, where the gardens of Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone offer a timeless atmosphere.
But we also recommend looking a little further afield from the most famous places: explore Scala, the oldest village on the coast, where time seems to have stood still among stone alleys and suspended silence, or let yourself be enchanted by Conca dei Marini and the charm of the Grotta dello Smeraldo, where the light filters through the seabed, turning the water emerald green.

✅ If you are travelling in spring or autumn and have more time to spare, treat yourself to a day beyond the coast: you can reach Naples from Sorrento, easily connected by bus or ferry, and lose yourself in the historic streets, vibrant art and irresistible aroma of street food. Or perhaps spend a day in Capri, among sea stacks, fragrant gardens and elegant boutiques.

✅ At Casa Donna Cuncè, every day can be different, especially if you choose to enjoy some of the most beautiful experiences the area has to offer. Set off on a boat trip along the coast, sailing through sea caves, hidden coves and crystal-clear waters: from Positano, you can choose daily tours that include snorkelling, aperitifs on board or even stops for lunch in restaurants that can only be reached by sea.

✅ If you love trekking, the Path of the Gods is a must: it starts in Agerola (Bomerano) and arrives in Nocelle, offering spectacular views and the chance to stop at a trattoria suspended between the sky and the sea. Or immerse yourself in the vineyards of Tramonti, discovering native grapes and local wines.

Whatever your idea of a trip – active or relaxed, adventurous or romantic – at Casa Donna Cuncè you can tailor it to your needs, day after day, experience after experience, letting yourself be guided only by your curiosity.

🗓️​ Events not to be missed

✅ Ferragosto in Positano
Every Ferragosto, Positano is transformed into a magical setting, where the sky and sea are bathed in light and colour to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption. The real magic happens at midnight, when the sky lights up with a wonderful fireworks display – a riot of emotions reflected on the waves – capable of capturing the gaze and soul of those who experience it.

For those who want an even more extraordinary experience, it is possible to take part in mini night cruises along the coast: these boat trips, in groups or private, offer a privileged front-row view of the show, allowing you to float gently among the flashes of fireworks, sip a drink and experience Ferragosto in an intimate and festive atmosphere. It is the perfect opportunity to appreciate the village from a unique perspective, far from the crowds, with the soft roar of the sea and the ancient charm of the coastline as a backdrop.

✅ The Holy Friday
In the heart of Holy Week in Positano, Good Friday comes to life with one of the most intense and evocative rituals: the Deposition of Christ. At dusk, the streets of the village are lit only by the flickering light of torches and candles, while a procession of hooded figures dressed in white solemnly accompany the Cross in a ritual that combines devotion, remembrance and contemplation.

On Thursday night, after the Mass of the Lord's Supper, the sacred procession passes through the churches of the village, climbing the historic stairways until the following morning. The evening of Friday culminates around 7 p.m., when the master of ceremonies, with his face uncovered, uses a hammer and pincers to take Christ down from the Cross, a gesture accompanied by the dull, intense sound of blows on the wood - an action charged with meaning and mysticism.

Wrapped in a white shroud, the dead Christ is then carried in procession through narrow streets resounding with ancient chants, while thousands of votive lights dot the way and envelop everything in a sacred silence. Taking part in this ritual means immersing yourself in an authentic spiritual experience, which leaves a deep impression on both locals and visitors, witnesses to an ancient collective tradition.
