- 1In Positano, the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) from Bomerano to Nocelle with leashed dogs, the flat Via Positanesi d'America seafront walk between Spiaggia Grande and Fornillo, the majolica-domed Church of Santa Maria Assunta and its piazza, the greener hillside hamlet of Nocelle, and the cooler Agerola plateau where the trail begins are within reach of every hotel on this list, good for morning and evening outings.
- 2Positano is the vertical jewel of the Amalfi Coast, a cascade of pastel houses tumbling down the cliff to the sea in the province of Salerno, beautiful but demanding for a dog: the town is a staircase of hundreds of steps, most beaches restrict dogs and the summer stone bakes, yet leashed dogs ride the SITA SUD buses and the Travelmar and Alicost ferries and, above all, walk the spectacular Path of the Gods above the coast, pets are a normal part of street life, café terraces, and local shops.
- 3The hotels on this list are all positioned for under-10-minute walks to off-leash zones in the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) from Bomerano to Nocelle with leashed dogs, the flat Via Positanesi d'America seafront walk between Spiaggia Grande and Fornillo, the majolica-domed Church of Santa Maria Assunta and its piazza, the greener hillside hamlet of Nocelle, and the cooler Agerola plateau where the trail begins. No busy road crossings, no logistics before the morning walk.
