Nestled in the pulsating heart of Positano, adjacent to the Grande Beach, stands the Hotel Buca di Bacco, a place where history, elegance, and hospitality intertwine into a unique and unmatched experience.
Buca di Bacco has deep roots, laying its foundations on the site that once hosted a magnificent Roman villa in the 1st century A.D., later buried in 79 A.D. by the great eruption of Vesuvius.
The name "Buca di Bacco", which evokes charm and mystery, was born from the creativity of a group of exiles and artists, the first visitors to Positano. They transformed a simple cellar into a meeting place for romantic candlelit evenings. Here, "Buca" represents the cellar, while "Bacco", the god of wine in ancient Greek mythology, is a tribute to conviviality and the enjoyment of life.
Over the years, the Hotel Buca di Bacco has been a reference point for the international elite, hosting celebrities such as Grace Kelly, Kennedy, Peter O'Toole, Totò, and many others. In the 1950s, the golden era of the "dolce vita", Positano became a special meeting place, with distinguished guests such as Vittorio De Sica, Richard Burton, Liz Taylor, Alberto Sordi, Franco Zeffirelli, Sir Laurence Olivier, Eduardo de Filippo, and many others.
Today, while maintaining its historic charm, the Hotel Buca di Bacco presents itself as a modern hotel structure, capable of offering comfort and cutting-edge services. The romantic atmosphere and the excellence of services make the Hotel Buca di Bacco an unforgettable corner of paradise, where time seems to stop to give way to enchantment.
