Positano - August Surprisingly Tranquil! - by Jill



This August as mentioned in my blog on Casa Sara, our family ended up in Positano for our summer break, this was not our fist choice as we normally try to find the most tranquil of places, however having teenage daughters the choice is no longer soley ours and if we are to actually get our girls to come with us, then we have to swing their way. So we reluctantly agreed to spend time in Positano to at least get us all together in one place. We were very surprised to find that half of the beach (back rows) were all empty, we could hire chairs in the front row each day, tables were easily organized in any restaurant we desired and apart from that tight squeeze in the town around the bottom of this hill (easily avoided) then it was truly a tranquil holiday,and could be about the only part of the coastline in Italy that could be described that way in August...
