(This article contains 5 family hotels in Positano, which are best in our subjective opinion. The order of the hotels is not related to the quality they offer. Every hotel has its pros and cons, so choose the one based on your personal preferences.)

Hotel Pupetto

Hotel Pupetto is an amazing 3-star hotel located right in front of Fornillo Beach. This beach is less crowded than Spiaggia Grande, and because of the hotel’s position, it feels private, too. Its main advantage is that the hotel is close to everything but very quiet. Therefore, you will be only a short walk from the main attractions in Positano, which is great, especially if you have small kids who don’t like to walk much. Furthermore, Pupetto has spacious & cleanrooms with beautiful views of the sea. You will love to spend your relaxing hours on the terrace with the deck chairs and umbrella.

Keep in mind that there are a lot of stairs to initially get down to the hotel. But once you are there, you can reach the town center by a stair-less path with incredible views called “lovers lane.” To avoid that, you can come here by ferry and use the porter service if you need it. If hunger catches you or your kid, don’t worry. There is an amazing and very affordable Ristorante Pupetto where you can try all kinds of Italian specialties.
