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.

For example, there is a small fort with a nice view, but what is really amazing. This coast is impressive. Look at these cliffs and the holes in the rocks. And look, that girl in the cave is taking pictures maybe to share with friends.
Up there is the Carvoeiro boardwalk. A wooden walkway along the coastline. A beautiful place to hike. Here there is also a restaurant with a natural swimming pool.
Now we are going to see the STRANGE Rock in the shape of a pig face. Lastly, we enter into one of these beautiful caves with the boat waiting for the next adventure or better waiting for one of the following videos.
Other beautiful things to see near Carvoeiro
ROMANTIC Carvoeiro heart-shaped rock Algarve Portugal
Carvoeiro heart-shaped rock Algarve Portugal. The Algarve Coast in the south of Portugal is unique and surprising. There are high cliffs, beautiful beaches and caves. We are now going to admire one of these caves. This cave’s main characteristic is that it is opened on the top and the rocks form a heart shape.
This cave is so romantic, but another grotto is more romantic because it is called the cathedral of love.
Cathedral of Love Algarve Portugal
We are always in the area of Carvoeiro Algarve Portugal. Along this coast, we can discover many beautiful places and caves. It’s enough to enter into a grotto to find out a different little world that enchants you. We’ve seen the grotto opened on the top where the rocks form a heart shape. Now we are in the cathedral of love.
Surely, this place is beautiful. It’s also lovely to admire the see from inside this grotto. It’s like to admire a live painting.
7 – Praia da Rocha
Praia da Rocha is a huge beach located in Portimão. Portimão and Praia da Rocha are very popular mainly because they are an area and beach where many services are available. The main feature of this beach is its size. Thousands of people flock to this beach in the summer.

We are in Portimao Portugal. Portimao is a popular touristic area for many reasons, but surely one of these is its huge beach: Praia da Rocha.
Anyway, there is another beautiful beach here: Praia Dos Três Castelos. From the viewpoint of the Three Castles, you can see on one side Praia dos Três Castelos and on the other side Praia da Rocha.

Its characteristic beach and the opening at the top make this cave unique.
4 – Carvalho beach Algarve Portugal
3 – Praia Três Irmãos
We are in Praia dos Três Irmãos a beautiful beach that is very close to Portimao, Algarve Portugal. Why this name? Praia dos Três Irmãos means beach of the three brothers. The three big rocks on the beach are really like three brothers to the eyes of those who come to this beach.
The beach has beautiful soft sand, and it’s enjoyable to walk barefoot on this beach. As you see Praia dos Tres Irmãos consists of several small coves. There is a lot to see and explore. It’s fantastic to see Praia dos Tres Irmãos before and after the low tide. The beach change completely. With the low tide, you can explore the beach better, walk from cove to cove. Anyway, this beach is gorgeous, either the high tide and the low tide.
2 – Praia do Barranco do Martinho
Ponta da Ponta da Piedade is an extremely panoramic point that we find near Lagos. Right below this observation point, you will find postcard beaches. Praia do Barranco do Martinho is just one of these beaches. Watch the following video!
Text of the video:
Hi everybody! Do you like this place? It’s amazing. We are in the south of Portugal, not far from Lagos, and we are looking at the Ponta da Piedade view.
Here, you can see that many people love kayaking because it’s a great way to observe this wonder from the ocean in peace. Below, you can see Praia do Barranco do Martinho and a group of people with kayaks about to leave. Let’s see them leave!
Here are the first ones that went without particular problems. Now the others will arrive too! At least, I think. Let’s give them time to get ready; otherwise, they feel a bit watched. Let’s go back later.
Here others have left! Well done! Someone is still missing, though. You are right: calmly, there is no rush. There are some difficulties with a kayak, ok, now it’s better! Come on; there’s only the last one left! Let’s wait together with his companions that he arrives. In the meantime, we enjoy the view.
Look! Pay attention! You have to go to the other side. Ok good. Another one comes up! Then it wasn’t the last! Well, now we’re there.
Some prefer the speedboat to the kayak because it is more comfortable and you don’t need to row. Here are our heroes!
Today we instead head towards the lighthouse and take a nice walk along this scenic route.

What to do in Lisbon – Lisbon is an interesting city. In Lisbon you can find interesting attractions and something you can’t miss in Lisbon are all its panoramic viewpoints. Lisbon in fact has been built on several hills and this creates many good panoramic viewpoints upon different parts of the city.
Is this your first time in Lisbon Portugal? Do you want to know what to see in Lisbon? No Problem! In this post, you find the TOP 10 things to see in Lisbon.
TOP 10 Things to see in Lisbon
This is our list of 10 things to see in Lisbon:
Commerce Square
The museum of the history of Lisbon which is located in the square of commerce
Miradouro da Senhora do Monte
Lisbon Castle or Castle of São Jorge
Belem Tower
Lisbon Oceanarium
Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara
Cableway of the ex Fiera area
Miradouro da Graça
Fado show
1. Commerce Square
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 number 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 destroyed the city and which was the starting point for a change of appearance of the city itself.
After initial disorientation on the part of the population, the projects for the new Lisbon were launched. Some wanted to move it to an area not affected by the earthquake, some wanted to rebuild it as it was, but the project that was approved was to destroy to rebuild, then rebuild the city with a completely new face, giving the off to the first modern city of Europe.
2. The museum of the history of Lisbon
Staying in Commerce Square, there is an interesting museum that is worth visiting in Lisbon. This museum is on our list of what to see in Lisbon, not so much because it contains particular objects but because it makes you better understand where you are and lets you experience Lisbon’s history.
This museum is indeed a guide through the history of Lisbon from its birth to the present day. Everything is done in a non-monotonous way (indeed!) With audio and video. It is an excellent starting point for visiting the city.
3. Miradouro da Senhora do Monte
Lisbon stretches from the river up the surrounding hills. This conformation gives the city several Miradouros. In our list of what to see in Lisbon, we have included several. Among all, however, the one we prefer is the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte.
From here we have a fantastic view of the Lisbon Castle of the Tagus River and the city below. The climb to get here is felt but the view pays off the effort. Alternatively, you can choose to be carried 😉 by one of the characteristic Lisbon Tuk.
4. Lisbon Castle or Castle of São Jorge
City walls surround the old city center and the castle. To visit the city castle, you should enter this historic area. To understand better what we are visiting, we want to know something more about Lisbon History.
At the Lisbon castle, there are also a few beautiful peacocks. They are very unexpected inhabitants of the castle 😉
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 urban design. Stilt showed signs of its Roman legacy. With natural defense 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 center, 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 defense, the walls were also a symbol that marked the city’s boundary within the walls and the surrounding area (suburbs), predominantly rural.
THE “CERCA VELHA” WALL IN THE URBAN SPACE
Being a structuring and essential element of the city’s defenses, the “Cerca Velha” Wall (Old War) underwent successive repairs and changes, many of which were related to the evolution of fortifications and siege methods.
This wall’s partial dismantling resulted from the construction of the Fernandine wall (1373-1375), a defense 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 due to the city’s reorganization during the Manueline (1495-1521) and Pombaline periods (after the earthquake of 1755) 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 buildings’ alignment, 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.
5. The Belem Tower
The Belem Tower: history
King John II (1455-1495) conceived a pioneering plan for the defense of Lisbon. He planned the Tower of Cascais’ construction 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.
6. Oceanarium Lisbon
In the Lisbon big aquarium, we can admire a lot of fishes. The more particular among all these fishes is the Ocean sunfish.
Ocean sunfish are the largest bony fish in the World, reaching more than three meters in length and weighing over two tons! This fish often lies on its side on the water surface to sunbathe.
This behavior helps it adjust the body temperature and it also allows birds to pick parasites off their skin. Ocean sunfish spend much time drifting near the ocean surface. For this reason, they are vulnerable to fishing boats that use drift gillnets and other fishing methods that target other species.
7. Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara
We chose this Miradouro because it gives a full view of the Alfama district. From this panoramic terrace, you can clearly see the castle, the cathedral of Lisbon, and part of the city’s new part.
This panoramic terrace has an opposite location compared to other Miradouros. For example, this is true for the Miradouro da Graça and the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte.
Watch the following video to admire the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara too.
8. Cableway of the ex 1998 Expo area
The cable car connects the Oceanarium with the modern district of the former fair area. The Park of Nations cable car was inaugurated in March 1998, during the World Exhibition in Lisbon.
It is placed on our list of what to see in Lisbon as it offers a pleasant experience of seeing the new part of Lisbon from a slightly different perspective.
Watch the following video and retrace the highlights of the Lisbon cable car ride with us. We start from the Lisbon aquarium and arrive at the other end of the cable, in the expo ’98 district’s heart.
9. Miradouro da Graça
As promised, another Miradouro or viewpoint could not be missing from our list of what to see in Lisbon.
We place Miradouro da Graça not among the top positions because the view is quite similar to the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, even if not of equal beauty. The climb is shorter and I think this is a great advantage for many.
10. Fado show
Attending a Fado show you will cheer up with traditional music and dance.

At the end of your way, you find something very precious in this area: the beach! This makes Positano the town to choose for those that love beaches.
As a result, maybe Positano is the best town to stay in especially in the summertime but not in the low season. Positano is the town most affected by the touristic seasons!
Precious Advises
For our own eperience we want to give you the following precious advices.
In August and the more busy seasons prefer the boat to the bus when you have to move. When there are many people, the bus times aren’t trustworthy and if the bus is full it doesn’t stop and it leaves you at the bus stop :(. The boat times are instead always right.
Do not pack too many things because Positano is full of stairs and it isn’t easy to arrive at your hotel with big and heavy bags. If you don’t want to renounce to some of your stuff use the porterage service. The porterage service brings your bags from the tourist port of Positano to your hotel. In this way, you’ll not have a heart attack 😉 if you’re not trained.
Avoid the 2 central weeks of August if you can. Too hot and too crowded.
Things to do in Positano
In Positano, there are many things to do and visit. The first thing you should do in Positano Italy is to get lost in the town and find out all the characteristic corners and shops. You can’t also miss the amazing sunset! You’ll get in love with it.

One of the best things to do in Positano is to relax on the Positano beach and enjoy the view. Positano beach is very nice and it’s also big compared to other beaches on the Amalfi Coast. When you walk from Positano’s highest part to the lower part through the city center, you finally arrive at the Positano beach: Marina Grande.
Positano beach
You can see Positano beach in many postcards and many beautiful pictures around the web. The truth is that Positano beach is lovely and unique for its scenario.
There is also another beach you can easily reach on foot: Fornillo Beach.
Fornillo Beach is not far from the Grande beach of Positano. You can easily get to Fornillo beach on foot, thanks to the paved path that takes you directly from Spiaggia Grande to Fornillo beach.
This trail is also very nice to walk as it counts the sea and is scenic. The Fornillo beach remains more private and quiet than the Spiaggia Grande in Positano, especially during the high tourist season.

Amalfi + Ravello
After your arrival, the best thing to do in Positano is to walk in the Positano city center to take the first pictures and discover this amazing town.
Where are we going after it? In the famous Amalfi and Ravello.
In order to get from Positano to Amalfi faster, we chose to take the boat. This is also a more enjoyable way to travel and a good opportunity to see the Amalfitan Coast from the sea.
You can buy your ticket at the ticket desk very close to where the boat arrives next to the Marina Grande beach. Usually, you don’t need to reserve your seat on the boats because they are big and carry many people.
This is a big advantage because in this way you can take the boat at the time you’re ready to go without planning before.
You can see the timetable also on-line for example on the Travelmar website.
Unforgettable things to do in Positano: from Positano to Amalfi by boat
We can for example take the boat of the 10:00 pm so you are in Amalfi at 10:30 pm.
After we arrive in Amalfi, we can see the city center. Amalfi isn’t huge, so you don’t need a lot of time to visit it.
We can now take the bus and go to Ravello.
How can I get to Villa Rufolo from Amalfi? In Amalfi, you can take the bus for Ravello (Piazza Flavio Gioia, 1 Amalfi). The bus line is the number 5110 to get to Ravello.
Villa Rufolo is in the main square and just 5 minutes from the bus stop. Villa Cimbrone is about 15 minutes from Villa Cimbrone. In your plan, pay attention to reserve enough time for the visit of both villas.
After visiting Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, go back to Amalfi to take back the boat for Positano.
We are now ready for our delicious dinner in Positano.

Positano Italy: Dangerous and Forbidden beaches in this area
Positano Italy is unique and there are many things to do in Positano. Also the nearby area is really worthy to be visited.
Anyway, there are areas you should avoid. There are especially beaches you should avoid because there are not safe for the landslide hazard. There are many nice places to visit in Positano and many things to do on Amalfi Coast so we don’t need to go to these places.
We should pay attention in order to spend a beautiful but also safe vacation on the Amalfi Coast. A few of the very famous Amalfi Coast beaches are located in the forbidden area. This is true for beaches such as Furore beach and Cavallo Morto.
In the picture below you can see the red zone you should avoid.
6 very amazing Italian Amalfi Coast Towns – The Amalfi Coast is famous worldwide, and that’s why we want to know more about the Amalfi Coast Towns that make this coast so special. We want to understand their main characteristics and their main attractions.
Let’s see the main cities of the Amalfi Coast, their characteristics and when you can go.
Italian Amalfi Coast Towns
Sorrento
Sorrento has a big city center with many shops of any kind. It’s more like a city than a town and despite it’s a perfect place for shopping and where to spend the evening, this can make you lose the Amalfi Coast atmosphere.
Amalfi Coast Towns: Sorrento
Anyway, it has a very nice balcony on the sea where you can have your coffee or drink with a beautiful view. Then from Sorrento, you can see something you can’t see from Positano or Amalfi: the volcano Vesuvius.
In the following video, you can see this beautiful view from this balcony at sunset time. Watch the video and subscribe to our YouTube Channel if you aren’t already subscribed! Subscribe here!
In the summertime, I would prefer to stay in a more Amalfitan style town than in Sorrento. In low season, however, it’s the best place to be in.
If you are In Sorrento in summer for many reasons you can go to Marina Grande for a day on the beach. As I’ve already said it’s not the best beach on the Amalfi Coast but it’s cute.
In Marina Grande, there are many restaurants. Dinner in one of those restaurants, especially those in the see it’s a beautiful experience. You can enjoy the sunset on the sea.
We can now move to the next Amalfi Coast Town: Positano. So let’s take the boat for Positano.
Positano
We’re now arriving one of the best village town in Amalfi Coast: Positano.
Many people are enchanted by its beauty.
6 very amazing italian Amalfi Coast Towns: Positano
As you can see below, Positano is developed on different levels and starting from the top going down to the pedestrian center you have to follow a road on the coast. On this road, you can find many restaurants with a wide view of the coast and the sea. It’s unique!
You’ll see many shops in the pedestrian area where you can find many clothes in a perfect Positano’s style.
At the end of everything you find something very precious in this area: the beach! This makes Positano the town to choose for those that love beaches.
As a result, maybe Positano is the best town to stay in, especially in the summertime but not in the low season. Positano is the town most affected by the touristic seasons!

The Amalfi Cathedral is the symbol of the city. It’s in Piazza del Duomo, and it’s built with medieval Roman Catholic style.
Amalfi has a nice beach, but it isn’t the only beach in the Amalfi area. There are also other beautiful hidden beaches you can easily get to by boat from Amalfi. Il Duoglio is one of these beaches. Watch the following so you can see the coast in the Amalfi area.
In Amalfi, you can take the boat and visit the Emerald Grotto. You can arrive at the Emerald Grotto also without the boat tour, anyway it’s a good way to admire the beautiful Amalfi Coast from the sea.
The Emerald Grotto is not very big in size, but the spectacle you’ll see it’s marvelous. The water into the grotto takes an intense green hue.
It’s a good choice to stay in Amalfi in the tourist season although it’s quite good also in the low season.
Ravello Italy
Ravello is visitied especialyy for the 2 amazing villas that are here:
Villa Rufolo
Villa Cimbrione: In Villa Cimbrone there is the amazing terrace of infinity.
If you want to know more about this Italian Amalfi Coast town read the following post: Ravello Italy things to do.
Ravello Beach
Ravello is a town built on the side of a mountain. Consequently, you don’t have the beach in Ravello, but you have a beautiful view of the Amalfi Coast. If you want to relax on the beach, you can go to the beach or Amalfi or Castiglione Beach.
Vietri
Amalfi Coast Towns: vietri
When you think about Vietri, you think of its colorful potteries. You can’t go home without anything. Here you can buy very nice gifts for your family and friends.
I prefer to visit Vietri rather than to stay there. Anyway Vietri like Amalfi isn’t strongly affected by seasonability.
Stresa Italy – Stresa is a gorgeous town on Lake Maggiore. It has beautiful gardens, luxory hotels and a beautiful view on the Borromean Islands.
Stresa can be a good place where you can rest drinking your cocktail and enyoing the lake view but can also be a good place to visit.

Borromean Islands Lake Maggiore
In the following video, you can see a beautiful view of the magnificent Borromean Islands Lake Maggiore. It’s a winter morning and the sun still timidly warms Lake Maggiore. In front of us we have the Pescatori island, then the Madre island and again behind the magnificent Verbania. On our right, we cannot forget Isola Bella.
You can see something more about the Stresa Islands in the following video:
Stresa Lake Maggiore what to visit
In Stresa there are several things you can see and visit. Stresa what to visit:
In this video I will take you on a beautiful walk along the lakefront of Stresa Lago Maggiore. We start our tour here, where private motorboats stop in high season to take you to visit the Borromean Islands.
Behind us we also have the Stresa pier where you can take the boat to visit the islands and other places on Lake Maggiore such as the Hermitage of Santa Caterina, Verbania and Baveno.
In front of us, we see Isola Bella. Until 1630 Isola Bella was only a rock inhabited by fishermen. Today, it is one of the most beautiful things to visit on Lake Maggiore for the magnificent Borromeo palace and its gardens, which have been included among the most beautiful gardens in the world by sites and specialized magazines.
Just turning our gaze, we also see the mother island. Isola Madre, already owned by the Borromeo family since about 1500, is now worth a visit, especially for its garden. Today, the one on Isola Madre is a unique botanical garden for rare plant essences worldwide that find an excellent home here on Lake Maggiore thanks to the mild and favorable temperatures. Behind the Isola Madre, along the coast, we can see Verbania and, more precisely, Pallanza and Suna’s areas.
Along with this lakefront stretch, we have the beach, the public parks, the private gardens of the hotels, and the bars that overlook the lake. On the left, we have the luxurious hotels for which Stresa is also famous. Here is the indication for Mottarone. From this road, it is in fact possible to reach the top of Mount Mottarone by car. From Mottarone, you have a magnificent view not only on Lake Maggiore but on a total of 7 lakes! From Mottarone, you can, in fact, see the
Lago Maggiore
Lago d’Orta
Lago di Mergozzo
Lago di Varese
Lago di Monate
Lago di Camabbio
Lago Biandronno
We have now reached the end of this walk together. From here, it is, however, possible to continue on foot. In fact, after a stretch of sidewalk that runs along the road, you can get to another walk that runs along the lakefront and ends at the square, where it is possible to take the cable car to the Mottarone. This place is one of the most beautiful places to take a picture or take a selfie due to Isola Bella and Pescatori’s proximity.

Villa Comunale Sorrento
The first thing we can do once we arrive in Sorrento is to go to the Villa Comunale to enjoy a beautiful view of the Amalfi Coast, Vesuvius and the baths of Sorrento. The Villa Comunale is definitely one of our favorite places in Sorrento.
The Villa Comunale are public gardens with a beautiful balcony on the sea. It is located near the center, and for this reason, it is a meeting point where you can have an aperitif or enjoy this unique view.

The Villa Comunale of Sorrento is the best place where you can enjoy the sunset and see Sorrento’s beach from above.
Bagni Regina Giovanna
The baths of Queen Giovanna is a very special place where you can enjoy the sea. They are easily accessible by bus. I do not recommend you to get there on foot because although they are not very far from Sorrento, it is a long walk to do on foot and the road in some places does not have a pedestrian area.
If you go in August you should arrive very early because it is not very big and it gets easily crowded.
Marina Grande Sorrento
Watch the following video, which shows you the beautiful view of Marina Grande Sorento with lights. Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel if you haven’t already: Subscribe here!
The beautiful Sunset
Watching the sunset maybe during a good dinner is really impressive in Sorrento. The good idea is to go to one of the restaurants on the Marina Grande to observe it. Watch the following video to admire the sunset over the sea.
Another good idea is to have dinner in one of Sorrento’s magnificent restaurants with a panoramic terrace.
One of these restaurants is the Vittoria Terrace restaurant that is on the top of the Continental hotel.
There is nothing better than going up to the terrace before the sun goes down for an aperitif and watching the change on the horizon. Moreover, in front of us, we have the Vesuvius that characterizes the Sorrento view.
In fact, the volcano Vesuvius is clearly visible from Sorrento but not from other Amalfi Coast towns such as Positano and Amalfi.

Sorrento is characterized by many things but surely the Sorrento beach establishments are one of the things you remember about Sorrento. The Sorrento baths are definitely a nice place to go sunbathing and swimming but they are also very beautiful seen from above.

Marina Piccola Sorrento
If you are in Sorrento I think you’d like to visit other Amalfi Coast towns. From Sorrento, you can easily get to Capri and Positano by boat.
You can take a boat for Capri or Positano in Marina Piccola that is on the opposite side of Marina Grande.
From Marina Piccola you can see more than the boats and the seagulls: you can also see the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria. This hotel is part of the Sorrento skyline and you can easily notice it because it’s built on the rock and it’s quite colorful. It certainly doesn’t go unnoticed.
Watch the following video so you’ll understand better what I mean.
You are now ready for a new adventure. Let’s go to Positano by boat. While sailing we have the pleasure of enjoying the most hidden beauties of the Amalfi Coast.

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 offered by the restaurant: Fiori di Zucca in pastella. It was very delicious. We also appreciated the ravioli because they had perfect combinations of ingredients: pesto, tomato and mozzarella di bufala was a great combination.
The pasta linguine with the lobster was delicious. 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.
We 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. Furthermore, there is also the music that makes your experience at 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.

The atmosphere is the best among all the restaurants in Positano. There were the mandolins and 2 mans normally play and sing tipical italian songs and other famous song such like the Godfather. They also come next to your table and they make you feel very special. Furthermore the view is amazing.

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.
Top 3 Best restaurants in Positano Italy with a view
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. ;).

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.

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.
