We will be staying at this hotel soon. Any suggestions on what rooms to ask for or comments on the hotel. Also, any musts on restaurants or day trips

Hotel San Pietro has a very nice restaurant, but expensive. Chez Black on the beach is a good place to eat. I prefer the rooms higher up with a sea view.<BR><BR>Day trips to Ravello, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Sorrento, Amalfi, Paestum if you want to see the Greek ruins.

Dear Shelley,<BR>about day trips I agree with Kay.<BR>About restaurants I advice you two restaurants at Positano: 'O Capurale and Donna Rosa.<BR>'O Capurale is a pleasant restaurant to familiar management, with dehors for the fine season, and reasonable prices.<BR>Every dish you'll taste, you'll like. I advice you the scialatielli alla Capuralessa with small tomatoes, aubergines, olives and capers: very delicious! Don't miss it.<BR>Now it is closed. It opens on March.<BR>Donna Rosa is located at Montepertuso. Montepertuso is a small village of Positano, on the hill over the main road. You can reach it only by car.<BR>The restaurant is good and elegant. Every dish is very good so that I suggest you what to avoid: caramelle di aragosta al sugo di pomodorini, I didn't appreciate it, the last time.<BR>It is closed on Monday and for lunch on Tuesday.<BR>However I near live Positano, if I can help you, feel free to e-mail.<BR>Ciao, buon viaggio e buon soggiorno. <BR>

Vincenzo. Besides the ones you mentioned, do you know of any restaurants near Praiano we might want to visit on a night we want to stay close to our accomodations? We will have a car. Thank you very much.

Dear Shelley, distance between Positano and Praiano is only 8 km. It means, by car, fifteen minutes. So, the restaurants I suggested, Donna Rosa ( at Montepertuso ) more than 'O Capurale, are near Praiano too. Just on the main road, close to Hotel San Pietro toward Positano, at the opposite side of the road, there is a restaurant named Il Barilotto del Nonno, good enough but I don't suggest it so much as the other two I wrote in my first e-mail.<BR>Ciao.

Vincenzo, Thanks for the reminder. I believe I had a wonderful lunch there. We took the bus from Positano to Montepertuso and walked to another small village, then walked back down, had lunch and caught the bus again. It was a lovely day.

Thank you to all!
