"The journey to Positano is part of the adventure," says accessories designer Álvaro González, who, every summer, rides a train three hours to Salerno, then catches a charter boat for the 40-minute sail right to the doorstep of his hotel, the small, family-owned Il San Pietro di Positano.
"It's so beautiful to arrive by sea," he says. "You're surrounded by cliffs, so it feels very isolated." Because every minute counts on a weekend getaway, he and his husband, writer Nick Vinson, step off the boat, hand over their luggage to the hotel staff, and claim two loungers under striped umbrellas.
