Italy · Mediterranean

Amalfi Coast

Cliffside glamour, long lunches and impossible blue water.

Sun-warmed glamour with vertical drama. Long lunches, boat days, and a dress code after seven.

Coastal Italy at its most cinematic — private boat days, lemon-grove lunches and hotels that have been perfecting the same view for a century.

Where to base

Top neighborhoods to stay in

Positano

First visits, romance

The postcard. Steep, busy, and worth it for two nights.

Ravello

Quiet and views

Above the crowds, gardens and concerts, cooler evenings.

Praiano

Calm base

Between the two, better value, easy boat access.

Capri

Glamour

Transforms after the day-trippers leave at 18:00.
