AMALFI COAST
When it’s time for a break from Italy’s art museums, Roman ruins, and churches, sunseekers flock to the Amalfi Coast, a collection of small towns and villages, including the hilltop town of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello – each with it’s own unique character and appeal. From the quintessential village of Positano, to the fragrant hilltop gardens of Ravello. Here, you’ll find sandy beaches, the scent of lemon hangs in the air, and pastel fishing villages cling to hillsides, strung along a rugged coastline of limestone cliffs and spectacular views. The Amalfi is a feast for the eyes.

Amalfi Coast Highlights
Below are a few top experiences that may feature in your bespoke Amalfi Coast itinerary.
• No hiker should miss the aptly-named Path of the Gods hike in the mountains above Positano on the island of Capri.
• Do a private boat trip aboard a private yacht to explore the hidden coves.
• Visit the Grotto della Matera (which you can explore) and the pretty disconcertingly named cover Marina di Crapolla, with Roman-villa ruins on the beach.
• While in Ravello, visit the Villa Rufulo and the Villa Cimbronee
• Stopoff in Vietri sul Mare, the last town on the Amalfi stretch, to see the fascinating ceramic workshops.
• Attend the annual Ravello Music Festival at the Villa Rufolo, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
• Shopping at Antonello della Mura; must-buys include a pair of Positano sandals, decorated with seashells.
