  1. Perched near the top of Positano's steep hillside, this boutique hotel started life as a private residence, and the rooms still feel more like a borrowed house than a lobby operation. Thirty-eight rooms, a rooftop pool with the kind of views that make you cancel your afternoon plans, a small spa, and a complimentary shuttle to the beach for anyone unwilling to negotiate the steps twice in an afternoon.

    One honor, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 81

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country and what it's like right there: how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, the air, and the weather. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
