Top 3 Best restaurants in Positano Italy with a view
It is an elegant restaurant with a nice view, good food and it is not too expensive. The staff is very friendly but at the same time professional.
For the food we all appreciated the appetizer offert by the restaurant: fiori di zucca in pastella. It was very delicious. We also appreciated the ravioli because they had a very good combinations of ingredients: pesto, tomato and mozzarella di bufala was a great combination.
The pasta linguine with the lobster was very good. The linguine were amazing because the taste was excellent and also the portion was big. Also the lobster had a good size in the pasta for the price.
Everybody of us also appreciated the dessert delizia al limone because it was super creamy, sweet and just the right amount of lemon.
The atmosphere is perfect because you have an elegant restaurant, with a special view on Positano, a good service, the people in the restaurant are friendly and furthermore there is also the music that makes your experience to the Tridente restaurant more special.
La Sponda
Eating in this restaurant is a really nice experince especially if you’re not on a budget because this restaurant is very expensive. La Sponda is very elegant and the menus offers a different taste and not simple dishes.

It is not a good place for kids because the menu doesn’t contain tipical food and the taste of this dishes maybe results a little strange if you’re not used to eat it and you are used to eat simple food.
We could insert the Sponda to the very top of our list but it is very expensive and it not for everybody.
La Tagliata
The Tagliata is very good, they give you huge portions and so you get a good value for your money. The quality of the food is good, they don’t give you fancy food but it’s homemade food, rustic.
The view of the Tagliata is excellent. If you go for the sunset you have an amazing view especially if you ask for a table close to the window in order to sit near the balcony because the view in the inside isn’t as good.

It’s a good place especially for families becaouse it isn’t super fancy. You don’t need to dress up and it also convinient because they bring you up with the shuttle and they bring you to the restaurant. In this way you don’t need to warry about the drive because it’s not so easy to get here by car because in this area they are quite crazy drivers. ;).
The following video shows you the amazing view from this restaurant terrace at sunset time.

There are other very good restaurants in Positano but that they don’t have a view. Here you can find the list of the restaurants in Positano we have selected for you.
La Taverna del Leone
Il Saraceno
Da Vincenzo
Da Vincenzo
It’s a very good restaurant. The panzerotti they have are very good because they are cruncy. The ravioli with scamorza, pomodori and melanzane were very appraciated in our table. Shrimp tempura was very good. The tempura was light but crunchy and they give you big shrimps.
The best dessert in this restaurnat we have tasted is the cheesecake with berries.
This restaurnat offers a very good value for the price. They have very good food, the restaurant is nice and is located in Positano. You don’t need any transportation to get here if you stay in Positano.
Da Vincenzo you don’t have the view but you can see amazing view soon after you are out odf the restaurant.
Il Saraceno
It’s a good restaurant especially for the pizza. The pizza is very good for good price in Positano. It’s a place where you can go with your family and a place where you can eat good italian pizza.
The pizza is excellent and it has the good quantity of toppings in the middle and the crost wasn’t too big. For example one of our pizzas had good tomatos, bufala and mozzarella. The crost was also cooked perfectly.
The location isn’t special because there is no view it is a easy place for a pizza. It’s a place where you can go with your children. About the service the waiters are sometimes pushy but also friendly.
La Taverna del Leone
It’s not in the center of Positano but you don’t have problem to get to the restaurant because they have a shuttle service. The restaurant is along the main road and you dont have any view.
For the amount of food and the quality the price is reasonable. They have scallops with the bacon that are very good. We also liked the cheesecake but what the best dessert was the croccante con torroncino: very delicious!
We appreciate the service because it wasn’t super professional but they were very reasonable to adapt the tasting menu to our needs. Infact in this restaurant you can choose a tasting menu of 5 dishes.
Algarve Portugal: best beaches in Portugal. The Algarve area in Portugal is very beautiful. It’s characterized by amazing beaches. In this post we see the best beaches in Portugal by watching videos and images.
The beaches Algarve Portugal are very famous for their scenographic impact. In most of the beaches the water is very clear. The very problem is the temperature of the water that is very cold. For example in the summer season the temperature of the water is between the 15 and 18 celsius degrees (between 59 and 64.4 ℉).
For this reason many people prefer water activities out of the water than swimming in to the water (it’s also up to your resistant to the cold). In these areas kayak, waverunnes and hiking are very popular sports. These sports and activities allow you to enjoy and admire the magnificent views.

Pompeii Ruins: Amphitheater Pompeii, Villa of Mysteries … Pompeii is the original village buried by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvio in 79 d.C.
Why Pompeii Ruins are worthy to be visited
There are several reasons why you should visit Pompeii Ruins:
it’s an original roman city and not rebuilt
many houses are well preserved
You can see the different areas of an ancient roman city: the forum, the arena, the main road and other areas
It’s unique in the world
How long does it take to get through Pompeii?
Pompeii ruins are very big. The excavations done throughout the years have brought to light a big part of the ancient city. This is the big difference between Pompeii and Herculaneum. In Herculaneum only a little part has been excavated so the visit is faster than the visit here in the Pompeii Ruins.
As you see in the following picture it takes 27 minutes to go directly and without stops from the amphitheater to the Villa of the Mysteries. This may help you to undestand how big Pompeii is but you should add the time to go through all the other important streets and go inside the buildings.

Commerce square is at the top of our list of what to do in Lisbon and what to see. This is in fact the main point of the city. This square was designed and built after the terrible earthquake that devastated the city in 1755.
What to do in Lisbon – Commerce Square
This historical place has always been an important point for Lisbon. Lisbon has a long history of trading with distant lands. Exotic goods arrived at this point first from Africa and then from Brazil.
The trade and the quantity of goods were so important to the city that at one point the royal residence was even moved from the hill to the vicinity of the ship landing. In this way the king could control the riches that arrived in the city.
All this until the drastic earthquake of 1755 which destroyed the city and which was the starting point for a change of appearance of the city itself.
After an initial disorientation on the part of the population, the projects for the new Lisbon were launched. There were those who wanted to move it to an area not affected by the earthquake, there were those who wanted to rebuild it as it was, but the project that was approved was to destroy in order to rebuild, then rebuild the city with a completely new face, giving the off to the first modern city of Europe.
Lisbon Castle or Castle of São Jorge
The hold city center and the castle is surrounded by city walls. In order to visit the city castle you should enter into this historic area. In order to understand better what we are visiting we want to know sometthing more about Lisbon History.
Lisbon and the Walls
In the 11th and 12th centuries, Lisbon had an urban model, similar to that of other medieval cities located on hilltops and its urban design stilt showed signs of its Roman legacy. With natural defence conditions that allowed surveilling the Tagus and its surrounding area, it had, at the top, the “Alcacova” (citadel) the city’s privileged area with its own wall that included the castle, residential areas for the elites and religious buildings.
The south section of this enclosure, whose shape dates back, at least, to the 17th century, still has two semicircular towers and two gates. The urban centre, which was also walled, grew along the hillside towards the riverside and included the largest mosque, which would later be turned into the Cathedral, housing quarters, a market and the public baths.
With a paramount role in defence, the walls were also a symbol that marked the boundary between the city within the walls and the surrounding area (suburbs), which were predominantly rural.
THE “CERCA VELHA” WALL IN THE URBAN SPACE
Being a structuring and essential element of the city’s defences, the “Cerca Velha” Wall (Old War) underwent successive repairs and changes, many of which were related to the evolution of fortifications and siege methods.
The partial dismantling of this wall resulted from the construction of the Fernandine wall (1373-1375), a defence line that integrated new areas to the east and west of the initial urban core. The old wall was progressively adjusted to the ongoing urban evolution, both due to the city’s reorganisation during the Manueline (1495-1521) and Pombaline periods (after the earthquake of 1755), and to the various needs that occasionally emerge, even today.
The ‘Cerca Velha” Wall is still a living structure, which remains partially integrated or visible in the layout of the current urban fabric. The alignment of the buildings, the main roads or the arches that exist by the riverside, memories of old gates and wickets, are references that still allow us to rediscover the medieval urban landscape today.
The Belem Tower
The Belem Tower: history
King John II (1455-1495) conceived a pioneer plan for the defense of the city of Lisbon. He planned the construction of the Tower of Cascais and the crossing of fire between the Tower of S. Sebastiao on the south bank, and a barge anchored in the middle of the Tagus river. King Manuel I completed this project when he commissioned Francisco de Arrudo to build the Belem Tower between 1514 and 1519.
The Belem Tower loses strategic importance and becomes successively a prison (1589), a customs post (1655), a telegraph station (1810) and a lighthouse (1895). Major restoration works took place in the 19th (1846) and 20th century.
The Belem Tower: The drawbridge
The drawbridge of the Belem Tower, combined with a portcullis and several openings on the entrance ceiling through which projectiles were launched, made access by invaders difficult.

Where to stay in Amalfi Coast? That’s a good question! Especially because each city of the Amalfi Coast has its own characteristics. All the Amalfi Coast is beautiful but there are a few factors we should consider before making our choise.
The first factor we can consider is the season. The touristic season finishes at the first weekend of November. The result is that after this weekend many hotels and restaurants are closed. Instead most of the shops are opened till the end of the year. The result is that the worst period of the year to go to the Amalfi Coast is between January and March, before the beginning of the new season.
Some Amalfi Coast Towns are more influenced by the tourist season than others. That’s why our choice of where to stay in Amalfi Coast is different in summer and winter.
Let’s now consider our best choice where to stay in Amalfi Coast in summer.
Where to stay in Amalfi Coast in Summer
The best choice in summer is Positano. It has a very beutiful beach and than you can do many things here. It’s full of hotels restaurant and shops. You can easily get to Capri by boat in about half a hour. From Positano you can easily visit the other Amalfi Coast Towns.

Where to stay in Amalfi Coast in Winter
The best choice in winter is Sorrento. This one of the biggest Amalfi Coast Towns and is the one less affected by the tourist seasons. Also in winter you have more chance to find the restaurants, hotel and other attractions opened.

Where to stay in Amalfi Coast without a car
Where to stay in Amalfi Coast without a car? The Amalfi Coast Towns are well connected by public transportations. In this way it isn’t a big problem to get from one city to another by car. Anyway the trasportation times are longer by bus than by car. So it’s much better to stay in one of the city in the middle of the Amalfi Coast. In this way you can it will not take to long visit the Amalfi Coast towns to the left and to the right.
In the Amalfi Coast there are very beautiful hotels far from the city centers. If you don’t have the car is better to stay in an Amalfi Coast town, in the center. In this way you can go to the restaurants, shops on foot and easily find everything you need.
Mountains or sea?
In the Amalfi Coast there are towns located on the see but other on the mountains. Despite the view from the mountains is beautiful it is not confortable chose towns like Ravello that are not directly on the sea.
Every time you would wanted to go somewhere, you have to come down from the mountain to get to the Amalfi Coast main road to than get to your destination.
Much better to stay in Positano where you have everything you need and if you want to go to Ravello or on the mountain for a path you can go… otherwise you can relax on the beach 😉 …
