Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast is the ultimate expression of the Italian dream. Tucked away among lemon blossoms and bougainvillea, thirteen villages line up to make up the Amalfi Coast. Known for their vertical landscape, they are only accessible via the Strada Statale 163, a narrow, winding cliffside road that, while eerie to traverse, offers unparalleled views. This magical strip links the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea below and aesthetes from around the world flock here year after year to enjoy its picturesque pebble beaches, scenic hikes, perfect climate and legendary establishments – not limited to historic hotels and restaurants. Landmarks such as the Amalfi Cathedral or Villa Rufolo in Ravello, evoking the culture and spirit of centuries past, are iconic locations that have been enjoyed by the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy, John Steinbeck and Gore Vidal. With its signature limoncello, produced and enjoyed locally, its fine mansions and its stunning views, the Amalfi Coast is in a class of its own.
