Villas in Amalfi Coast

A place of myth and cinematic beauty, the Amalfi Coast has drawn travellers for centuries. This storied 50km stretch of Sorrentine Peninsula coastline runs from Positano to Vietri sul Mare, its hillsides terraced with lemon groves and dotted with villages that cling precariously to the cliffs. It’s a region of vertiginous views, deep blue water and a tangible sense of history, best explored at a slow pace, with plenty of time for long lunches and afternoon swims in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
