More about the Amalfi Coast areaThe Amalfi coast is accessible by road from Salerno, or by following the picturesque and dramatic coastal road from Naples via the Sorrento Peninsula. By water, ferries and hydrofoils depart frequently during summer from Naples, Sorrento and Capri. The Amalfi coast provides a diversity of options in terms of holiday styles and things to do. The hill town of Ravello is suited to travellers seeking a slightly quieter environment with a vibrant cultural program, splendid views and historic villas with special maintained gardens. Positano, instead, offers a seaside holiday in a lively village full of the best shops, cafes, restaurants and seaside bars. Meanwhile, Amalfi offers the possibility to feel the history and experience the traditional culture of the area. We have assembled a collection of holiday and rental villas and apartments in each of the above areas which should respond to the requirements of any traveller wishing to explore this special area.
