Destination Guide

The Amalfi Coast has become famous throughout the world for the unique beauty of its hilly green landscapes, sheer cliffs and clear blue sea, not to mention its spectacular corniche road which twists around, revealing secluded bays and promontories.  Many of the exquisite small villages and towns have become renowned over the years - picturesque Positano with its pastel coloured houses, seeming to spill down the cliff into the sea, or the one time Marine Republic of Amalfi, or superbly elegant Ravello.  Lesser known, but enchantingly beautiful places include La Marina di Furore, Conca dei Marini, and Praiano. Continuing further along the coastal route you will reach a further series of fascinating towns facing the Gulf of Salerno - Maiori, Minori, Vietri sul Mare, Salerno, and Paestum.
Most of our villas are situated in or near the centres of Sorrento, Positano, Praiano and Amalfi.   Sorrento is well connected to all the attractions of the Amalfi Coast and the archaeological sites of Campania, so a good base for a holiday. From Sorrento you can take the ferry to Capri, the slow Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii, Herculanium, and Naples, and bus (or drive) to the Amalfi coast. You can also make frequent trips by hydrofoil from Sorrento to Capri, Naples, Ischia, Amalfi, and Positano.

Stunningly beautiful, Positano has made the transition from sleepy fishing village into one of Italy's most popular resort towns. Built into the steep seaside slope, it offers amazing views, excellent shops and restaurants.  Praiano, also an ancient fishing village, near Positano, is now also a prestigious seaside resort, without losing its traditional charm.  Historically very powerful as the first Sea Republic in Italy, later joined by Pisa, Venice and Genova,  Amalfi is now a peaceful resort town with great views.  Ravello is another beauty overlooking the coast and a treasure house of medieval art,  as well as renowned for its music festival in June and July.

Our selection of unique and luxurious properties, range from romantic small apartments in Positano and Amalfi to fabulous staffed villas in stunning positions overlooking the sea. Most of the properties have pools and all have staff, or the possibility of arranging staff.  At several breakfast is included and a couple have the services of a full time cook.
