“Flowers and laundry - the charm of Positano”…

After an exhilarating drive along the high cliffs on the Amalfi coast from Sorrento down to Positano, I found myself in sensory overload with its beauty and photogenic appeal. After circling around the entire village and cliffside three times on Positano’s only street, which was a single lane winding down from the top and back up and over to where I began…I finally found the parking garage by the hotel. I began my descent from Hotel Montemare, which also has a great family restaurant on a large terrace overlooking the bay. The climb down the winding road and steep staircases made for quite a workout in the hot late May sun. The alleyways seemed to slip downward between every building and many maintained unique views of the sea, Duomo, town, or mountains of Positano. Descending the endless steps, I caught a glimpse of the afternoon sun reflecting in the doors of a second story balcony with dozens of white linens hanging to dry. Framing the balcony just above the coral colored awning … vibrant red flowers accented the contrast of the pastel domestic scene that is Italy at its finest. Viva Italia!
