AMALFI COAST - ITALY

Stretching 50 km along the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula, fringed by vertiginous cliffs to which whitewashed villages with terraced lemon groves cling. This Unesco – protected area is one of Italy’s top tourist destinations.

DESIRE TO BE HERE…..

Nothing more to charm you than the blue azure waters of Italy’s west coast, Amalfi. I would love to sample the terraced olive and lemon groves of this rugged whitewashed coastline of Italy’s dream drive. Mouthwatering Napoleon fare paired with local white wine make your day with Don Alfonso promising a magical evening. One more on my bucket list…., time and tide wait for no one!!!!

RECOMMENDATIONS…

  • For the best trattoria fare in town, follow the aroma of simmering tomato sauce and roast lamb to Cumpa Casimo for delicious, full flavoured Neapolitan cooking and local white wines.
  • Amalfi is located 61 km. southeast of naples.
  • The best time to visit is May and September for mild weather and fewer crowds; April – October for Wagner Festival in Ravello; June 27 and November 30 for celebrating Amalfi’s patron Sant’ Andrea.
  • Few recommended hotels are PALAZZO SASSO, HOTEL CARUSO AND GRAND HOTEL EXCELSIOR VITTORIA.

Highlights

  • Ravello, perched 1,100 feet above Amalfi is aptly described as “the place where poets go to die”
  • Two romantic gardens – the Villa Rufolo and the Villa Cimbrone – are a stroll away from the 12th century Moorish – inspired Palazzo Sasso Hotel.
  • Cliffside Positano is a jumble of converted whitewashed and coloured fishermen’s houses that spill down a maze of narrow alleyways to the pebbly umbrella-lined beach.
  • The hazy outline of Mount Vesuvius dominates the view from cliff-top Sorrento, favoured among 19th century British travelers for its mild winters.
