POSITANO IN WINTER: What's it Really Like & What's Open?

[@lisabradley7770]

Aww so pleased Carlo’s Mum is going to Tuscany. She’s going to love it!

[@raymondbarry4196]

That was such a sweet surprise

[@cynthiamckenzie1034]

HOW WONDERFUL ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❣️

[@mezanian]

Can't wait for Mumma to visit. ❤😊

[@laurenglass4514]

Carlo doesn’t need a newspaper, he finds out all the local news the right way! Talking to the people!

[@kemikemi]

I love! this comment, because it is so true. Reminds me of my paternal grandma growing up in Nigeria. This was how she knew what was going on and where LOL!

[@sandra-says-777]

So true! 😁

[@carolynhoover9444]

I love Carlo!❤

[@SharonGates-z2g]

Carlo, you remind me so much of my dad when he was young - your age! He was handsome, handy with all things, loved working with his hands and outdoors, and never met a stranger. Everyone who knew him loved him. Thanks for reminding me of his wonderful qualities. I miss him.

[@tdoug31]

What a beautiful video. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Carlo's opening drone shots. Just gorgeous!! The whole video reminds me of your videos that first got me hooked on Positano Diaries. It has become such a beautiful way to end my Sunday and start my week. I so look forward to spending time with your beautiful family and seeing your beautiful part of the world. Carlo exemplifies what we need more of in this world, a personal real face to face interaction. Love it!! Joe and Terry (Texas, 🇨🇱)

[@lamaestraiorio3351]

Nicki, I love your enthusiasm upon seeing your mother-in-law while she was out shopping! “Mama! Mama!” That was a truly loving & authentic reaction captured on video. Tell her I think she is beautiful and I can tell that as a young woman, she must have resembled a movie star. I really enjoyed this tour of Positano in Winter. So much so, that I didn’t want it to end!

[@priscillachapman9145]

I’ve said before that Carlo gets his good looks from his mother.

[@samanthab1923]

I watch a street scene of fashionable ladies in Milan. She’d fit right in 😊

[@Hot-N-AZ]

In Carlo’s world there are no strangers, just friends he hasn’t met yet. 😊

[@lucye530]

Sì, Carlo è molto amichevole

[@antonenkobella]

Niki, imagine somewhere in the south of Russia there is a young woman who waits for your videos every Sunday and Wednesday. I've been ending my Sundays with your video for about 2 years now. Thank you! I love you very much and enjoy your channel. From you I receive warmth, kindness and humanity!

[@barbstanley9311]

Highlight if my week is to watch your viedos on Sunday, and so glad you added Wednesday. Love all things Italian !

[@NickiPositano]

💕😘👋

[@nydiamontanez8025]

Loved today's tour. Carlo is amazing. He has a great heart, and I'm sure that's why he attracts people. He must be happy with his mother's upcoming visit to Tuscany. Holly is adorable and makes me smile as I see her tail going around in circles as she walks. Nicki, I can see how you fell in love for Positano. ❤ Have a blessed week.

[@barbiec4312]

What’s world!!!

[@EmilyBoltz]

That is a sweet note - hi from California ! 😊

[@wizardofoz4284]

Carlo is massively happy when he returns to Positano!

[@paulamccarthy8197]

I think he loves Tuscany too

[@BK-eg5or]

I think he loves both places. 😊Of course Positano is his home town.

Right? Even happy seeing the road work guys! 😊

[@wizardofoz4284]

@ LOL….😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@judit1783]

Had to add this comment: Carlo gives the best gift to people...his time. Maybe nobody had taken the time out of their day to converse with them, but Carlo did. Probably made someone's day.

[@lilaclilly198]

It’s still enchanting, even in winter. The sun is out and the scenery is still beautiful! I don’t mind the shops being closed, I would wrap myself up and take a pack lunch and book and go for a wonder and a stroll. Perfect!

[@galleygalva.546]

Positano is so beautiful. I can see why you continue to return. It is like living in a huge community. Every time I see an overall view, it just amazes me.

[@jenniferbrumfield3871]

I love the idea of a 2nd breakfast in a lovely little cafe! Life’s little joys!!

[@HappyLife693]

I think I would prefer the off-season in Positano. The view is still there and no longer obstructed by traffic and the crowds. There are just enough businesses open to keep me busy.

[@cynthiamckenzie1034]

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❣️

[@samanthab1923]

Right? Only thing I’d miss are the boats/ferries ☀️

[@janefarero455]

I totally agree with you!

[@ADuckie4u]

I would say the same or maybe come In March, it might be a little warmer but most certainly avoid the heat and the crowds for me! I find too many shops n ppl overwhelming anyways! 😊

[@samanthab1923]

@ It’s funny you say that. Even my son hates crowds. As a kid we took him on the Disney Cruise. Thank god that was enough for him.

[@3boymama]

January looks like the perfect time to visit. As long as you have a pizzeria, a fishmonger, and a pharmacy open what more do you need?😂

[@lilaclilly198]

@@3boymama Absolutely agree with you. With out the tourists you get to see Positano in all it’s glory.

[@CathyMiller0711]

I can imagine that the locals enjoy winter in Positano for a breather from the busy tourist season. It looks quite inviting.

[@samanthab1923]

I would be tempted to stay & have the place back then travel in winter ❄️

[@OzAshley]

I so glad momma is going to Tuscany. Been wondering how she has been doing for the last few months. I think she will enjoy it and Carlo will enjoy showing here too ❤

[@samanthab1923]

I guess Nicki is in the back with the dogs 😊

[@Alice-rt6le]

Positano is so lovely anytime. You see so much more without so may people.

[@samanthab1923]

Right? The water still looks beautiful with the sun out ☀️

[@Alice-rt6le]

@@samanthab1923 I love how the water changes color whether it's raining or sunny.

[@samanthab1923]

@ I love that too!

[@gaston-m8e]

This was a great idea guys, really enjoyed it. Shows that Positano is always open for business, and sunny, but so nice when it is calmer..

[@leilacristinapereira461]

Nicki, the spirit of Positano is in you and Carlo for life and that's the reason why you cannot part with precious moments you share with friends in your everyday life. I❤Positano

[@andrearyan816]

As our parents mature in years, it is even more important to create happy memories. Great to hear mum in law is travelling back to Tuscany with you ❤

[@DesTondola]

Holly rolling in the sand just put a huge smile on my face, precious little soul

[@steinarbrevikknudsen1546]

I probably liked the city in the winter more than the summer...Great place and lots to see!

[@kc-xb9dr]

Lovely.. I've been watching your family's adventures for years now.. there's something about Holly, I just love her 🩷

[@samanthab1923]

Right? Even the way she came to them. Carlo is right, she’s a Super Dog ❤️🐶

[@kemikemi]

I am thinking winter in Positano is actually better than our winter in Chicago LOL! Thank you! guys for another cozy up to Carlo and Nicki Sunday. Enjoy! the day.

[@raymondbarry4196]

I so much love traveling through Italy through your videos!!! Thank you very much Nicki and Carlo! ❤❤❤

[@thelittleredtina]

Yay! Another cozy Sunday visit with the sweetest Italian family! Grazie!

[@eamonnohalloran2254]

What a joy to watch today. A journey to see what shops are open in winter turns into a display of the true nature of place . We first weave and descend down through the narrow streets with vistas and adventures at every turn .Over look the shoulder of the artist and see what he sees. Enjoy a coffee and a pastry and watch the flavours of friendship blend and renew in those minutes of connection where the threads of memory and shared history are pulled tight again. Winter is a time to do such things and although your porpose was one thing your result was even richer ,deeper and ever more beautiful. Ever the changing weather with its silver light ,greys and blues were magial. Here's to place ,friendship ,family and knowing how valuable time is to the mix.

[@laurenglass4514]

I will say the same thing -visiting and interacting with all the people is a real positive for people and helps everyone’s health! It is needed in every town. Keep it up Carlo!

[@ilfrigothefridge]

Knowing little towns in Italy, the biggest chore of the day is to say hello to all the locals, your neighbours, daily and every time you put your nose out, in the summer is different as we can be disguised within the crowd. Nice video, and useful. It is the most precious thing to live your own place naturally, senza turisti, and strengthen the bond with the locals. Super.

[@user-tm2vc6fj8q]

Absolute Paradise and the friendliest place in Italy perhaps 😊

[@HappyLife693]

Ah, Holly. She is so wonderful. It was great to see Carlo's mother out shopping and I'm so glad that she has agreed to go to Tuscany. She looks great. 😊

[@hanneliewiese3477]

What a busy and vibrant town and I bet most people are happy when it is so much quieter.

[@kathymahon335]

Carlo reminds me of my husband who is also can fix anything! And he knows everyone so when we are out and about he stops and chats with everyone! ❤

[@BetWon04]

Ditto 😊

[@RomyHouston-y9v]

No crowds, no long lines everywhere, all the beauty Positano has to offer. Looks like the perfect time to visit!

[@IRSA1]

This is actually a lot more enticing than battling with the crowds in the summer in the relentless heat.

[@samanthab1923]

The older I get I prefer Fall & Winter. Summer heat is just too brutal ☀️

[@sabrinatoglia4729]

So beautiful! The scenery, community, people, the sunshine! Holly is the sweetest doggie. She warms my heart. Beautiful family. Thank you!❤

[@anastasiarn7781]

Holly and Indie are so precious.

[@DavidMonierWilliams]

Though many places are closed, Chiusa, and everything slows to a snails pace, it gives everyone a time to re-charge your batteries by renovating your house or business and getting things done you couldn't find time to do in the busy Summer season. Carlo, a slightly gregarious person needs to re-establish long term friendships and talk to everyone he meets. Even the rain and storms are welcome. Nicki, Carlo, take this time to relax and perhaps learn something new, you've always wanted to do. My thing as I was coming out of my grieving for the death of my second wife was to do two things: 1. Take a glider trip 2. Learn diamond grading and coloured stone identification. So I took a two week intensive course at the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad CA. That was more fun than a barrel of monkeys. There were people in the course from all over the world and from many different professions. There one gorgeous Chinese gal who looked me square in the eye{I'm 6'3" and shrinking}. I just need to be 20 years younger....LOL! So enjoy your quiet time. Un abbraccio forte a due!

[@CVPAQ]

Holly is so lucky to have found you. She's having the best doggy life. I know she's getting old in dog years, but I can't imagine a video without her, I dont want that day to come. ❤😊

[@snowbellamama6130]

The introvert in me thinks this looks like the perfect time to visit Positano ❤

[@sheilatrout855]

2017 at 62 yrs old came to Paris. 1st time, not really a clue what we were doing!! lol got rental car headed south!! On a Sunday we were near Naples, headed south to see Amalfi Coast. Ended up in Positano for lunch, drove part of way down, found parking n walked rest of down. LaCambusa restaurant was on our right n busy, they sitted us at the corner table. The outside tables were not there!! It was wonderful n magical!! Gorgeous view, wonderful food, entertaining waiter!! Afterwards we took our shoes off n put our feet in the water!! lol total tourist!! But loving every every moment!! Then during the pandemic, I found you!! Just amazing, now im learning about Italy n England !! Thank you two for sharing with us!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@janinafisher101]

What an extraordinary tour, Nikki and Carlo! It is such a spectacular place the way people have made a life hugging the mountain. It is really beautiful, though I can imagine the tourists can drive you crazy in the summer. I love small, human-scale places, and all the tiny shops that give such personal attention. Nothing like the big box stores that are the ruination of North America, thank goodness. This feels like REAL life.

[@angelaurlwin1523]

We enjoyed your winter tour in Positano, thanks to you both 👍🏻❤️🇮🇹

That was great. You can see so much more when there aren't people packed in the streets. Thanks for the lovely tour.

Positano is quiet in the winter, while here in the southern Arizona desert; it is "snowbird" time! Our population doubles and the business owners are very happy! So happy to hear that Carlos' mom is going to Tuscany. You are a blessed family! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week!

Watching Carlo drive thru Positano had my heart on my throat. You have to know the area to be able to drive thru there. I have been to many places in Italy but not Positano. No matter if it's winter or summer, the color of the ocean is spectacular and the views are amazing. Thanks for sharing!

[@IsabelleBurberry]

Hello everywhere - how lovely to walk around with you in beautiful Positano. I live on the coast (Isle of Wight) and out of season it's so much easier to get around. The beaches are almost empty, apart from dog walkers and riders exercising their horses. Not much sunshine, very windy but it has a quiet charm. I'm delighted to hear that Carlo's Mama will be visiting with you in Tuscany - I'm sure she will love it and be very impressed with what you've both achieved there. Ciao tutti xx 😊

[@Ciao_ciao333]

Whenever you post in Tuscany, I watch it when it’s convenient for me but whenever you post from Positano, I literally drop what I’m doing and watch it IMMEDIATELY!!!! Thank you so much for showing us Positano in January, I loved every second!

[@ima40schic]

My husband was just like Carlo, never met a stranger. And everyone knew him everywhere. And I was just like you, be pleasant and smile but wishing he would hurry up so we could go on. It seemed everywhere we went I was always left waiting. This is what happens when introverts and extroverts get together. haha Thanks for sharing!

[@Bobperkowski]

Just finished watching this week’s video. Wonderful tour of what’s open in Positano! Can I suggest subjects for future videos? 1) I see all this beautiful iron work. Fences, gates, railings on stairs and cliffs are everywhere. Can you show us the sources for these. The designs of benches integrated into the railing is ingenious. The source of the designers would be amazing. 2) Seeing the Watercolorist still working in the coldest months is heartwarming. Does he post and sell on the net? If he doesn’t some young person should be his agent and make high end products selling in a small space near him. Love you guys. If you guys build a small cabin on your Tuscany Property for us I’ll buy Carlo a 26B Kubota backhoe! I have one for my 12 acres and it’s invaluable. We’re old so the cabin would come back to you in less than 10 years! Just a thought. Be creative!

[@samanthab1923]

Carlo’s cousin owns the iron works where they pick up their mail. Carlo made their new front gate there a couple years back. I love that you have a Kubota! When I saw him eyeing that machinery you can almost hear the gears turning with what he’d do with one . 😂

I usually watch twice anyways 😂 I am starting to recognize streets now!! Between you guys and Elizabeth's walks, I think I could find my way around!! Thank you for another lovely Positano Sunday.

[@joytoyouandme4593]

Carlo stopping to visit with everyone reminds me so much of my Dad. There was no quick run to the store, as he loved to visit with everyone. He has been gone two years now, really miss him. I think the winter months would be a nice time to visit, as a slow pace of relaxation, and a chance to meet more of the locals. One of my most valued pictures is a painting of the hotel stairs we stayed at in Amalfi. The artist you passed was painting such a lovely picture, these are the best memories to take home.

[@rosalindpirkl8740]

Lovely! Looks like the perfect time to visit. Just to slow down, enjoy the beautiful town and the local people.

Always love a tour of the town. The fruit is to die for. We are so limited in the winter. The gift shop with all the lemon pottery and colorful dishes would be so hard to resist. In the winter POSITANO is almost just a small town when all the natives can breathe and relax. Thankfully you are not fighting snow and below freezing temperatures with high wind.
