Amalfi Coast
The most dramatic coastal road in Europe — 50km of cliffs, fishing villages, lemon groves, turquoise coves, and Renaissance towns carved into vertical rock faces above the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Where to Stay
Hostel Brikette, Positano
What guests say
“The only hostel in Positano with a real terrace view of the coast. Basic but genuine — sharing pasta and wine on that terrace with strangers is pure Amalfi magic.”
“Budget Amalfi is possible here. Clean dorms, extraordinary location, and the staff give excellent advice on hiking the Path of the Gods.”
Hotel Raito, Ravello
What guests say
“Ravello is quieter and more beautiful than Positano and Hotel Raito captures it perfectly. The infinity pool view is one of the finest on the entire Amalfi Coast.”
“Arriving in Ravello feels like arriving in a different century. Hotel Raito has a stunning pool and the owner arranges private boat tours to sea caves below.”
Hotel Santa Caterina
What guests say
“The most elegant hotel on the Amalfi Coast — a clifftop palazzo with a private lift to the sea, a legendary restaurant, and orange and lemon groves surrounding the terraces.”
“Family-run since 1880 and it shows in every thoughtful detail. The seawater pool carved into the rocks, the gardens, the food — all extraordinary.”
Monastero Santa Rosa, Conca dei Marini
What guests say
“A 17th-century monastery perched above the Tyrrhenian Sea, converted into the finest hotel in Italy. The herb garden, the infinity pool, the spa — completely transformative.”
“The most extraordinary small hotel in Europe. Only 20 rooms, private chef dinners in the monastery garden, a boat at your disposal. The Amalfi Coast as God intended it.”

- ✓Take the SITA bus rather than driving — the roads are one-lane shared with buses and parking is nearly impossible
- ✓Stay in Ravello or Praiano rather than Positano for the same views at half the price and a fraction of the crowds
- ✓Book restaurants in Positano 2–3 weeks ahead in summer — the good ones fill completely
- ✓The Path of the Gods hike from Nocelle to Positano is 6km of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Europe — do it early morning
- ✓Rent a boat in Positano for a half-day — no license required for small vessels and you get to swim in coves tourists in buses never see
