Sorrento to Positano by Bus | Hostel Brikette
From Sorrento, choose a SITA bus journey that serves Positano (Chiesa Nuova), near Bar Internazionale. This is the arrival direction toward Positano; check your actual date, route variant and notices rather than treating every Amalfi-bound bus as identical.
Plan any train-to-bus transfer, ticket purchase, queue and final hostel approach together. A bus ticket does not reserve a seat, and the main-road arrival still includes the hostel's entrance stairs.

Plan the whole Sorrento-to-Brikette journey
Use the selected journey's scheduled departure and Chiesa Nuova arrival, then add time for traffic, queuing and the hostel approach. A fixed high-season estimate or assumed frequency is not a connection guarantee.
If arriving by train or airport coach, confirm its actual Sorrento drop-off and the route to your SITA boarding point. Allow time for bags and tickets; do not assume a combined station area eliminates the transfer.
Buy and validate the right ticket
Arrange the correct origin-to-destination ticket before queuing, through an authorised seller or supported digital channel. Follow SITA's purchase and validation instructions; digital tickets require the prescribed check-in. Keep your ticket, and do not rely on onboard sales without confirmation.
Confirm the current single fare for your actual journey. The 1 October 2026 fare-change notice makes older prices unreliable; a regional tariff class alone does not establish your route fare. See the SITA ticket guide.
At the 25 October 2026 check, SITA's ticket page listed COSTIERASITA at €10 for 24 hours from first validation on its specified SITA network. It is personal: complete your name and birth date. Compare covered journeys before buying; local Interno is not automatically included.
Read from Sorrento to Chiesa Nuova
Open the official SITA timetable catalogue and select the Sorrento-to-Amalfi block of 5070. At the 25 October 2026 check the catalogue listed it through 1 November, with a PDF effective from 14 September. Recheck before later travel.
Find Sorrento for departure and Positano (Chiesa Nuova) for arrival within one suitable journey column. Apply that table's day legend, blanks and notes, plus service notices. A diversion can change whether an Amalfi-bound bus serves Positano; confirm the actual journey.
Confirm your Sorrento boarding point
Use Piazza G.B. De Curtis by Sorrento's station area as the terminus reference, then confirm today's exact stand and destination with SITA or the driver. The square is a reference, not a promise that every service uses one bay.
Arrange your ticket before queuing, leave boarding and pedestrian space clear, let passengers get off first and follow the driver. Have a fallback if the bus is full or changed; an early place in the queue is not a reserved seat.
Alight at Chiesa Nuova / Bar Internazionale
When boarding, ask for 'Positano (Chiesa Nuova), per favore.' Prepare in good time and use a stop button if provided. Confirm with the driver or current onboard information rather than counting stops or relying on a vehicle's final destination alone.
Chiesa Nuova / Bar Internazionale on Via Guglielmo Marconi and Sponda are different Positano stops. The local Interno service stops separately beside Tabacchi Cafiero on Viale Pasitea; do not confuse that drop-off with your SITA arrival.
Walk from the stop to Hostel Brikette
From the Bar Internazionale landmark, follow Via Guglielmo Marconi toward number 358 for approximately 120 m / 390 ft. Look for the Hostel Brikette sign, continue around the bend and take the entrance stairs on the right. The road distance is separate from those stairs.
Follow the full Chiesa Nuova arrival guide and walking-map reference with current signs. Allow time for bags, narrow pavement and crossings; do not treat a three-minute estimate as a connection guarantee.
Why this arrival stop matters for your stay
Hostel Brikette is on Via Guglielmo Marconi near Chiesa Nuova. Using the correct SITA stop reduces the need to start your hostel approach from the beach-level centre.
The approximately 120 m road leg is followed by entrance stairs. Choose according to your luggage and mobility needs; proximity to a stop does not make the route step-free or remove the need to agree any assistance.
For room types, dorm options and the accommodation decision, see the hostel guide.
Bags, porters and entrance stairs
Check SITA's current baggage conditions. At the 25 October 2026 check, non-obstructing hand baggage up to 50 × 30 × 25 cm was free; other bags required a baggage ticket and suitable space. Keep aisles and exits clear.
If the bus cannot take you or your bag, allow another departure or a confirmed suitable transfer. For porter assistance, agree the provider, full quote, collection, delivery, timing and payment directly. Bag transport does not make Brikette's entrance step-free or automatically become a hostel-operated service.
Plan arrival around bag drop and room check-in
Arrival-day bag drop starts at 10:30 for guests checking in, subject to space. Enrol through the guest app and follow the storage conditions; the hostel must receive your agreement to the terms. Bag drop does not provide early room access.
Room check-in is 15:00–22:00; reception closes at 23:30. The later reception closing time does not extend room check-in. Consult the arrival requirements and contact the property promptly if disruption may make you late; do not assume self-service late check-in.
Return plans, missed stops and alternatives
For a day trip, check the last usable Positano-to-Sorrento return bus before leaving. If you miss Chiesa Nuova, leave only at a designated stop and reassess; do not assume your ticket covers the reverse ride or that the next bus arrives after a fixed interval.
Compare the Sorrento-to-Positano ferry route using actual operating conditions and its different pier-to-hostel approach. For a licensed taxi or transfer, confirm the full quote, meeting point, bags and drop-off; contact the hostel if the revised journey threatens the check-in deadline.
FAQs
How do I read the Sorrento-to-Positano timetable?
Use the Sorrento-to-Amalfi block. Read from Sorrento to Positano (Chiesa Nuova) in the same suitable journey column and apply its day codes, gaps and notes. Check dated service notices; the bus's final destination alone does not confirm it serves your stop.
How much is the bus from Sorrento to Positano?
Confirm the current single fare for your actual journey through an authorised seller or supported digital channel. Do not infer it from an old price or regional tariff class. COSTIERASITA has separate coverage, personalisation and validation conditions; it does not automatically include Interno.
Where do I board in Sorrento?
Use Piazza G.B. De Curtis by the station area as a reference, then confirm the current SITA stand and that your journey serves Chiesa Nuova. Allow transfer, ticket and queue time if arriving on a different service.
Which Positano stop is right for Brikette?
Use SITA Positano (Chiesa Nuova), near Bar Internazionale on Via Guglielmo Marconi. Sponda and the local Interno stop at Tabacchi Cafiero are different. Tell the driver your stop and request it in good time.
How far is the walk from the bus stop?
Follow Via Guglielmo Marconi from Bar Internazionale toward number 358 for about 120 m / 390 ft, then use the entrance stairs on the right near the hostel sign. The road leg and stairs are separate; allow time for luggage rather than relying on a fixed three-minute walk.
Can I take a suitcase?
Check the current size, baggage-ticket and space conditions before travelling. Keep aisles and exits clear. If your bag cannot be accepted, allow another departure or a confirmed suitable transfer.
What if I arrive early or late?
Arrival-day bag drop starts at 10:30 for checking-in guests, subject to space and the storage conditions. Room check-in is 15:00–22:00; reception closes at 23:30. Contact the property about delays; the later reception time does not extend check-in.
Can I rely on a fixed journey time or last bus?
No. Choose the current timetable for the actual date and route variant in each direction, check notices and add margin for road conditions and queues. Separately booked connections are not automatically protected.
