Uncover the Authentic Amalfi Experience in Minori

11 October, 2018

Amalfi is one of the most incredible coastal towns in Italy and it attracts travellers throughout the year from all over the world. For those wanting to visit the area but seeking to uncover the less-trodden tourist trail, Minori is a wonderful place to stay. Only a short drive away from Amalfi and the glamorous Positano, Minori is much less cosmopolitan and somewhat more rustic than its neighbours. Here is why I suggest this gorgeous town as a base when

Positano’s Paradise: An Italian Village with Authentic Flare

Positano is a seductive Italian village located on the Amalfi Coast and home to colourful buildings and delightful narrow streets. It is the perfect holiday destination for those looking to explore Italy’s charm in a more local setting. History of Positano It is believed that the village began to develop around the ninth century following the arrival of inhabitants from Paestum, and then continued to advance over time. After being pillaged by Pisa, Positano followed the neighbouring town Amalfi’s example

3 October, 2018

Praiano is a secluded sanctuary nestled within the breath-taking landscape of the Amalfi Coast. The popular towns surrounding it swarm with tourists every year, but if you prefer something a little more tranquil, this is your ideal destination… Not Your Typical Tourist Spot  The quaint town of Praiano is traditionally known for its fishing and crafting industries, so not only is the seafood completely fresh and authentic, but the markets and shops that are scattered along the streets sell homemade

A Cultured Beach Break on the Amalfi Coast

19 September, 2018

Of all the pretty towns that are scattered along the ever-popular Amalfi Coast, Maiori is probably the most fascinating. While every one of these settlements boasts incredible sea views and picturesque hillside homes, this riverside community attracts visitors with its Italian charm and intriguing history. At first glance, you’ll be wowed by its beautiful beach (arguably the best on the coastline) and at night the streets come to life with vibrant nightlife and restaurants. However, don’t be fooled by its

Find Romance in Ravello on a Couples Retreat

11 September, 2018

Few places say “romance” (or perhaps whisper it seductively into your ear) like Italy’s Amalfi Coast. I think it’s my favourite place on earth, offering sweeping coastline drives complemented by peaceful, sun-drenched landscapes when you venture inland. You’ll find the tastiest of fresh seafood, iconic groves of lemon trees, and the meeting of bright blue sky and sea on the horizon. Bring someone special here and you may well fall in love with it as much as I have. Allow

One of the most visually dramatic parts of Italy’s rugged coastline, the Amalfi Coast, is a must see on any avid traveller’s list. This stunning region in what is a truly fascinating country is not one to be rushed, and is definitely a place that demands more than just a long weekend. From boat trips to church visits and from lazy lunches enjoyed in seafront trattorie to long walks through olive and lemon groves, the Amalfi Coast has so much

The Amalfi Coast and the area around Naples and Sorrento in Italy is a haven for archaeology-loving holidaymakers, who also yearn for stunning scenery, magnificent sea views and fabulous food and wine.

More Than Meets the Eye: Exploring Naples’ Underground World

11 August, 2018

Someone once described Italy as a layer cake: since prehistory, people have been building whole civilisations there, and when they fell, the next inhabitants carried right on over the top of them. Nowhere is this more true than in the mad, chaotic, glorious maelstrom that is Naples. Today’s snapshot – which is all any blog post about this tangled and ancient labyrinth can be – will focus on the incredible world below the feet of Neapolitans. There’s as much going

A Gastronomical Tour in Sorrento

14 July, 2018

Ah, Italy – perhaps Europe’s best regarded location for fine food and wine. (In fairness, the French might have something to say about that. But it’s definitely top five.) Sorrento, a small town on the Amalfi Coast overlooking the Bay of Naples, is particularly well known for the wide variety of culinary delights it produces. It’s the home of limoncello, for instance, and is part of the excellent Campania wine region. While there’s a lot to see and do here,

Capri

Capri Shore Excursions

Located to the south of the Gulf of Naples just off the Sorrentine Peninsula is the Italian island of Capri. In the 1950s Capri became a highly desirable destination for the international jet-set including many Hollywood stars such as Sophia Loren, Rita Hayworth, Audrey Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman.

Gaeta

Gaeta Shore Excursions

31 May, 2018

Located on the coast of central Italy overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, the seaside resort of Gaeta has long been a popular holiday destination for Italian families. Its small harbour attracts relatively few cruise ships compared with the better-known ports of Civitavecchia (Rome) to the north and Naples to the south. Passengers whose itinerary does include Gaeta, however, are in for a treat as this former Roman fortress town is a real hidden gem of the European cruise circuit.

Archaeological Adventures between Naples and Sorrento

2 December, 2017

From magnificent hotels to sweeping sea views, the town of Sorrento exudes pure opulence best enjoyed over a glass of limoncello. But while Sorrento holds a special place in the heart of every luxury lover, it’s also frequented by culture enthusiasts, who are constantly enthralled by its fourteenth-century cathedral, monastery and wealth of other historical landmarks. Of course, the fun doesn’t have to end there – in fact, there are myriad ancient Roman towns in the Campania region that could keep you engaged and entertained for days on end. What’s the downside to having so many worthwhile archaeological attractions on
