; Via Grotte dell'Incanto 51; admission €10-30; summer)
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.

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 residents.
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, fol-
low the signs from Positano.
