The four-pearl Le Agavi Hotel is in a spectacular cliffside location just outside of Positano, with beautiful panoramic views of the Amalfi Coast and surrounding mountains. Spread over five levels and connected by a funicular cable car and elevators, its 55 spacious guest rooms have balconies or terraces overlooking the sea. Room decor varies between classic and modern, but all are attractive and come with espresso machines, free Wi-Fi, and minibars. The hotel offers a host of notable features like an outdoor pool with a stunning view and nearby massage hut, private beach, two restaurants and three bars, and a large terrace with sea vistas. It's a bit removed from the center of town, though the hotel does provide a free hourly shuttle service. For something directly in Positano, check out the similarly priced Covo Dei Saraceni.

Of the three high-end hotels in the vicinity, the Covo Dei Saraceni is the only one on the beach with a pool overlooking Positano Bay and the spectacular Amalfi coastline. Crowds on the beach and boats headed to and from the nearby ferry dock can be a bit noisy, but rooms overall are pretty quiet and many are equipped with private hot tubs and two balconies. Exploring the ancient cliffside town involves a walk uphill, but the return trip is always downhill. There are three restaurants (including a brasserie with delicious pizza), and a gelateria, and though the Covo may be the most expensive hotel in the area, many guests feel it’s worth it.

A member of the Relais & Chateaux luxury fellowship and one of the most expensive hotel in Positano, Il San Pietro is a stunning property with breathtaking Amalfi Coast vistas from multiple vantage points. The 57 spacious rooms are elegant and individually designed, featuring free minibars, free Wi-Fi, and sea-view terraces. In addition to outstanding service, the hotel offers a Michelin-starred restaurant, an elevator leading to a private beach and daytime eatery, a small spa and gym, infinity pool, and tennis court next to a lawn where activities such as yoga are held. The downside is that it is not within easy walking distance to town, but a free shuttle can take guests there 24/7. For a luxury hotel in the town center, consider Le Sirenuse, though it lacks a beach and isn't as quiet.

Located just outside of the village of Positano, the mid-range Palazzo Marzoli Resort offers magnificent views of the village and sea. The hotel offers a free seasonal shuttle into town, which makes the out-of-town location less of an issue in the summer. The 12 guest rooms are charming with a blue and white theme and amenities like flat-screen TVs, minibars, free Wi-Fi, and furnished balconies. Breakfast is included in room rates and is served in guests' rooms. A highlight here is the rooftop solarium with hot tub, sun loungers, and bar service. Guests can also receive massage treatments in their rooms. Hotel Palazzo Murat is another option to consider with a more central location, fewer stairs, an on-site restaurant, and outdoor swimming pool.

The Lantana Hotel & Residence is an upper-middle-range vacation complex with a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere set in well-tended grounds that include a cactus garden and citrus groves. A large swimming pool is the main focus of the property and there's just one restaurant that serves traditional regional dishes. There's a choice of regular rooms or apartments with cooking facilities; all with large terraces and free Wi-Fi. Its location on the edge of the pretty Sardinian village of Pula means there's little in the immediate area and local beaches are a five-minute drive or 20-minute stroll away. Travelers looking for quiet and calm will certainly find it here, but for sea views and an infinity-edge pool compare rates with Hotel Costa dei Fiori.

The 326-room Astoria Palace Hotel offers simple, mid-range rooms within a long walk or short drive of central Palermo. The hotel is being renovated and there is a wide disparity in room quality here, though even renovated rooms fail to make a lasting impression. On-site Il Cedro Restaurant serves decent Sicilian fare and the hotel does allow small pets, but basic features like free in-room Wi-Fi are missing. Rooms are a value by Palermo standards, but the immediate neighborhood isn’t attractive and the neighboring produce market fills the area with unpleasant smells. Guests looking for a more stylish and centrally located hotel may want to try Porta di Castro, though it will be slightly more expensive.

The basic Albergo Athenaeum is a budget property near the University of Palermo. The hotel’s 80 simple rooms have seen better days, but they’re perfectly functional, with outdoor space and flat-screen TVs. Multiple bed configurations are available, making the hotel a good pick for groups on a budget. As such, the hotel is often occupied by college students, so it’s not a pick for travelers looking for peace and quiet. The lobby-level common areas are often packed with groups and can be noisy. Albergo Athenaeum offers free breakfast, though it’s a simple spread of pastries, cereal, meats, cheese, and toast. The property is generally considered a good value for the price, but travelers wanting to stay more central should compare prices with Hotel Ariston, a budget property near the Massimo Theater.
