After taking the SITA bus to Positano to Sorrento, I walked down the hill to the church and it was one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. The view would not be the same if it wasn't for the church. It took about 10-15 minutes to walk there from the bus stop. From there, you could just stare... More

The Church could be viewed, arabesque tower and yellowish, oustanding building in the small town. The interior was not revealing, but it was beautiful and it allowed you to have a nice view of the beach and the town.

Great to see during a day in Positano. Quite likely you'll see a couple getting married, or you'll see the fireworks show that is a traditional part of getting married in Positano.

The priest were very accommodating and the setting was breathe taking to say the least. The altar is 1200 years old and it felt incredible to be part of such a milestone in our lives. If you are looking for a destination wedding, Positano is your place.

The Church is located between the village with it's postcard small streets and the beach packed with restaurants and little hotels. It is a simple but quiet church and travelling from Sorrento, I met an old couple who wanted to see this church where they celebrated their daughter's wedding. How original and sweet! I would recommend, if you travel from... More

Taped music from a Mass in Latin created a prayerful and respectful atmosphere as you entered the church. There is a side altar dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Near the main door there is a glass panel and you can see through it to the crypt below.
