superb
pasticceria
(pastry shop), elderly red-vested waiters, Neapolitan background music
and some great Positano poseur-watching potential. Enjoy sumptuous creamy cakes, as
well as savoury snacks. There's live music during the summer.
Music on the Rocks
( 089 87 58 74;
www.musicontherocks.it
; Via Grotte dell'Incanto 51; admission
€10-25; May-Oct)
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 good-looking crowd and some of region's top DJs
spinning mainstream house and reliable disco.
CLUB
Da Ferdinando
( 089 87 53 65; Spiaggia dei Fornillo; 10am-3am, May-Oct)
This summer-only
beach bar rents out sun loungers and serves light snacks, along with drinks. The music is
designed to make sure you shift into suitable party mood post sunset.
BAR
NOCELLE
A tiny, still relatively isolated mountain village, above Positano and beyond Montepertuso, Nocelle
(450m) commands some of the most spectacular views on the entire coast. A world apart from touristy
Positano, it's a sleepy, silent place where not much ever happens and where the few residents are happy
to keep it that way.
If you want to stay, consider delightful
Villa della Quercia
(
089 812 34 97;
www.villadellaquercia.com
; r €70-75;
)
, a former monastery with spectacular views. For food,
Trattoria Santa Croce
(
Apr-Oct)
is a reliable low-key restaurant in the main part of the village.
The easiest way to get to Nocelle is by local bus from Positano (€1.20, 30 minutes, 17 daily). If
you're driving, follow the signs from Positano. Hikers tackling the
Sentieri degli Dei

might want to stop off as they pass through.
