This is one of the town's few genuine nightspots and one of the best clubs on the coast.
Music on the Rocks is dramatically carved into the tower at the eastern end of Spiaggia
Grande. Join the flirty, eye-candy crowd and some of the region's top DJs for mainstream
house and reliable disco.
OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
NOCELLE
A world apart from self-conscious Positano, the tiny, left-alone mountain village of Nocelle (450m)
affords some of the most spectacular views on the entire coast. A stop on the Sentieri degli Dei hiking
route, it's a sleepy, silent place where not much ever happens, much to the delight of its very few res-
idents.
If you can't pull yourself away, consider checking in at
Villa della Quercia
( 089 812 34 97;
www.villadellaquercia.com
;
Via Nocelle 5; r €70-75; Apr-Oct; ) , a former monastery with
heavenly views. If peckish, tuck into delicious, regional dishes at
Trattoria Santa Croce
(Via Nocelle
19; Apr-Oct) , a reliable low-key nosh spot in the main part of the village.
The easiest way to get here is by local bus from Positano (€1.30, 30 minutes, 17 daily). If you're
driving, follow the signs from Positano.
