1La Sponda – Positano, Italy
If there is one place that looks like a postcard come to life, it is Positano.
La Sponda, the signature restaurant of Le Sirenuse, sits high above the Amalfi Coast with spectacular views across Positano and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The colourful buildings of the town appear to tumble down the steep mountainside toward the water, creating one of Italy’s most instantly recognizable coastal landscapes.
Then comes the evening transformation.
Hundreds of candles illuminate the restaurant, while the lights of Positano begin to sparkle across the hillside. Combined with the sea and dramatic coastline, the setting becomes almost impossibly romantic.
It is the perfect finale to this list because the restaurant doesn’t simply overlook Positano — it puts you right in the middle of one of Europe’s most iconic views.
