This was the best use of 20 euro that I spent during my two week trip to Italy…read more Bagni d' Arienzo is an absolutely gorgeous private beach club. It's less crowded and more secluded than the main beach club in Positano. We happened to be staying across the road which was lucky. If not, the beach club actually has a boat that will ferry you over from the main Positano area. The space isn't huge, so be sure to make a reservation in advance. In addition to reserving a chair you can also reserve a time slot to have lunch at the restaurant. 20 euro gets you a chair with a sun shade, a towel and an umbrella. We got there early and had first pick at a seat. If you can, I suggest doing the same. It was really nice to have views of the ocean (instead of another chair) in front of us. But honestly, the beach is so beautiful that there really isn't a bad seat anywhere. A chair also includes waitress service. There is an extensive drink menu with tons of cocktails, spritzes, wines, beers, frozen drinks and smoothies. Prices are very reasonable for a beach club -- cocktails are around 10 and bottles of wine 20. We weren't expecting much for lunch but the restaurant was actually phenomenal. The grilled octopus came with a huge portion and was super fresh. The ravioli pomodoro was perfectly al dente and stuffed with a delicious ricotta cheese. The grilled eggplant was simple and cooked in flavorful olive oil. Lunch was also fairly priced, and service was fast. The seats also overlook the water, so it's a beautiful and relaxing dining setting. Two people can walk away after a full day of fun and sun, eat and drink well, and spend not much over 100 euro. I strongly suggest making sure that your Positano itinerary includes a day to spend relaxing at Bagni. You won't regret it.

This is great place to get away from all the chaos of Naples. Nice swimming and kayaking and place…read moreto soak up that sweet sweet Mediterranean sunshine.

Not bad!! The only…read morewayyy to come here is truly..via a boat or your mini mega yatch. If anyone says otherwise, they don't like you! No seriously!! We were told that we can walk here from our place across the water. Horrible! Tiny windy streets up and down! Almost got ran over a few times. Che fatto! And then, wait for it. Holy stair climb!!! Basically a few hundred steep stairs all the way down to the beach to get to this place. Oh my! I die!! I mean for real! Boat would have wayyyyyy faster!! Ok now that we made it, it was quite pretty inside. It look like a stunning cruise ship dining hall. Which it used to be! And then they have an inside area to the left: which is cafeteria style. Aka No corperto aka no covers! Aka absolute madness. it is like a violin and champagne one side and a crazy beer pong next door. You get the idea! Menu is like every other place on this small island. All seafood!! And I love seafood! No complaints there. Oh yea: they even have an English menu if you ask for it. But DONT! I mean...you can read, cant ya? :D Italian isn't that hard if you speak it. The downfall was one waitress for this entire place. She was flustering and forgetting things. And quite slow too. Food~ we had everything! The polpo.octopus! The mozzarella x toast x burrata! Caprese! For pasta: we had the frutti di mare! Calamari! Frito Misto aka fried mix seafood. All tasty!! Wasn't too crazy about the wine from pasta though. And best part~ oh my cheap wine!! A carafe of pinot grigio ( massvie) was 5 euros! Un-freaking-heard of!! SO much wine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happyyyyy me!! Even that slow food didn't bother me. Not as much :) We ended the long slow meal with fruitta aka fruit plate! And they were all melons! Extra happy here. Overall, the lunches are usually long and slow in Italy. We know. We get it. Our families been dining this way for centuries ( so I heard). But this place took an extra hour of my time. They weren't even that busy!! The complimentary boat ride back to Procida/Terra Murrata was a bonus! Our boat dude actually turned around midway to pick up a sammich and a beer. That only happens here. Hilarious! Fun! I'd probably go back but go back early and only via boats!!!

Everything about this place says open... except the darkened building and pad lock on the door…read more Even the hours posted on the suggest it should be open... nope. At least I got a workout from trying to find the place; it's a several hundred steps down from the road the beach where this place is located.
