A great opportunity to stay in exclusive Positano on the Amalfi Coast

We are the only hostel in the extremely picturesque Amalfi Coast town of Positano. The hostel overlooks both the town center and the sea, and provides easy access to the surrounding mountains. It is also within easy reach of Pompei, Napoli, Vesuvius, Sorrento, and Capri.

The focus of the hostel changes throughout the year, changing in order to best accommodate our guests. Generally, this means that, from the middle of May to middle of September, we primarily aim to make the hostel a lively, fun place. During the rest of the year, the main emphasis is on making the hostel feel homely.

In addition to accommodation (which is very expensive in Positano), you will receive:

> breakfast - anything off the Hostel's breakfast menu;
> lunch - usually pasta, salad, pizza, etc.;
> dinner - anything off the Hostel's dinner menu.

Positano is the best place from which to explore the Amalfi Coast, visit the islands of Capri or Ischia, or take trips to see the archaeology of Pompeii or Ercerlano. We are also close to Sorrento and Napoli. Positano is the most exclusive part of the region, and the scenery is spectacular.

For 2014, we are looking for workawayers to fill two roles, and to be able to alternate between those two roles. These roles will run from the middle of April to the end of September. We are looking for people who can commit to staying at least two months. Sorry, but we cannot accommodate couples.
