Plunging theatrically into the depths of the Mediterranean, the vision of pastel towns clinging to rugged cliffs makes the Amalfi Coast unforgettable. The pretty fishing villages and chic towns nestled into the rock face harbour a jumble of fascinating architectural sights and stylish boutiques, and are linked by vertiginous roads with incredible views. The resort of Sorrento is the gateway to the region: handsomely perched on the clifftop of the Sorrentine Peninsula and revered by the Grand Tourists of the 19th century, it still retains its charm despite being one of Italy’s most popular destinations.

The best way to experience the beauty of the Amalfi Coast is by road, following the winding route which surely forms one of the most astonishing drives in Europe. With many picturesque villages to choose from, you could take in views of pretty, pastel-painted Positano, enjoy the maritime charms of hillside Amalfi, or admire the elegant gardens of lofty Ravello.
Sitting below mighty Vesuvius, the ruins of Pompeii form a time capsule that is almost 2,000 years old. Buried in volcanic ash following an eruption in 79 AD, the ancient streets and villas of this prosperous town have been immaculately preserved, providing an eerie and unique window into Roman life.
The charming town of Sorrento is famed for its boutiques, grand hotels and lemon groves. Overlooking the Bay of Naples, Sorrento is the perfect place to take a stroll, admiring the palatial buildings, historic monuments and fine views whilst breathing in the romance of the Sorrentine air.

“I’ll never forget swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, watching the sun setting, whilst pondering which trattoria to dine in that evening.” (Tony)
