Hotel Covo dei Saraceni Positano Amalfi Coast

This intriguing hotel is built on what used to be a fisherman’s house.  Apparently, the spot served as a sort of meeting place for the people of Positano during the frequent invasions by the neighboring Saracens, when they got together to dress up just like their enemies to fool them!  Thus the name, which literally translated means ‘Den of Saracens.’  Fortunately, this little gem of a hotel still has all the makings of a great sanctuary: breathtaking views, a quiet and pleasing interior, and all the right creature comforts to hide you away from the world for a special occasion like your wedding or a romantic holiday…or both!

Atop the Hotel Covo dei Saraceni sits the beautiful seawater swimming pool, which boasts stunning views over Positano’s main beach, the sparkling water and across to the colourful towns nestled against the facing cliffs.  The Hotel is also home to Savino, a restaurant recognized for world-class quality and service.  For a romantic meal, indulge in super fresh seafood prepared in delicious local dishes while you enjoy the unforgettable view of the ocean below.  At breakfast time, the Bougainville Salon welcomes guests with a remarkable indoor plant of the same name, which during spring and summer months livens the room with its bright hues. 

The Covo dei Saraceni’s rooms are truly in harmony with its natural surroundings: the balconies and windows that open to the sea embrace the local color scheme and allow both sun and moonlight to enter abundantly.  The wooden furnishings and earthenware floors are a nod to the centuries-old vegetation enveloping the hotel, and the bright white linens are a joy and comfort to all the senses.   This unique and charming hotel effortlessly achieves the natural tranquillity and harmony that modern spas are constantly striving to achieve.
