We went here during our first visit to Ravello and were blown away. It's a special occasion dinner, but very worth the price tag.
There's a small fee to access the grounds, but you can walk around the gardens and grab a drink below the Terrazza dell'Infinito!
This is the best Hike on the Amalfi Coast! It stretches from Bamberano to Nocelle and winds through ancient historical towns and ruins. Make sure to have a break at the Belvedere viewpoint for the most dramatic view and at the Lemon Point in Nocelle for a fresh lemonade.
When in the Amalfi Coast, a boat trip to Capri is absolutely a must! A ferry will take you from Amalfi to Capri in just 1 hour. When in the so called “Blue Island”, you can have a drink in the Piazzetta and, from there, have walk to the Quisisana where you can shop in the most exclusive luxury boutiques. Alternatively, you can spend the day at La Fontelina where you can soak up the sun in front of the Faraglioni rocks and enjoy some of the best seafood lunches around!
A very interesting trip you can make when staying in Ravello! In 79 AD Mount Vesuvius erupted volcanic ashes and lapilli over the village of Pompeii: the entire town and around 20,000 of its inhabitants were buried under tons of ash and pumice. Now, almost 2000 years later, you have the chance to visit the surprisingly well-preserved remains of the city.
Located by the sea, Amalfi is a labyrinth of narrow and crowed streets. When walking around the town center you will find several typical street food shops and souvenir shops. As you will notice, in the Amalfi Coast, lemons are the absolute main character! However, in Amalfi there’s the veneration of the small red pepper. You will see hot peppers hung on walls all over town, as well as baskets filled with these vegetables! Surely the most appreciated souvenir!
This is the famous Positano beach you see in all the photos. It’s located right in the center town, adjacent Positano’s port, and is by far the busiest spot in all of Positano.
One of the few beaches in Positano to have sun in the afternoon! If you don’t mind descending around 300 steps, here you will find clearer waters than those of Marina Grande and also a beach club with restaurant.
This beach is in Praiano. Caught in a cove of about 30 meters, its waters are a deep emerald blue. To reach it, you need to get off the stairs, but once you get down, the effort will be rewarded by the view of Positano, the islands of Li Galli and Capri.
Positano is surely the most popular location on the Amalfi Coast. Its buildings cling on to the rock and their colors form a perfect canvas for the bright flowers which decorate the houses. Positano is renowned for beach fashion; its elegant shop windows are full of displays of brightly colored robes, bikinis, bags, and Bermuda shorts all made in cool linen, gauze and cotton. In addition to clothing, this town is known for fashion accessory production. Positano sandals, flip flops, wooden and cork clogs, are made by famous shoemakers, and by cobblers, who can create pairs of shoes by hand, on request, while the customers wait outside. Positano is full of small restaurants where it’s possible to taste delicious fish dishes of the Mediterranean cuisine and particularly the most typical and traditional cake: Delizia al Limone!
We loved this cooking class!! If you’d like to learn how to cook a typical Amalfi Coast dish, you should absolutely take a cooking class with Mamma Agata. She has been the chef for many stars, including Humphrey Bogart, Jackie Kennedy and Federico Fellini. During her course you will assist to a demonstration cooking class, and you will have the option to visit the garden and pick vegetables. At the end, you will have the chance to taste the food cooked during the class, and it is amazing.
When in Ravello, a stop in the typical Ceramic Shops is a must! Amalfi Coast Artisanal Ceramics are famous worldwide for their colors and patterns. If you wish to bring home a unique piece of Italy, you should certainly consider these handcrafted gems.

Perched on the mountains, Salvatore has a stunning view over the Amalfi Coast. Besides the perfect location, here you will find a selection of traditional dishes elegantly revised. Their offer includes fish and freshly home-baked Italian bread.
Pizzeria Mimì, with its fresh yet home-style and traditional look, will certainly impress you for the attention the owners put in the choice of their products. They are focused on local products, seasonality and market availability to ensure the highest quality and freshest meals. Besides their Pastas and Neapolitan’s Pizza, we strongly recommend trying their Limoncello, it’s their specialty.
