This is Italy’s most beautiful area of coastline and has been an inspiration to artists and writers alike since the turn of the 20th century when it was first ‘discovered’. Amalfi was once one of the great naval powers of Italy and the town, so atmospheric in the evenings when the tourist crush has subsided, boasts the beautiful Duomo of San Andrea. Ravello hosts some of Europe’s most popular classical music festivals and concerts, and Positano is a shopper’s mecca. The region boasts some of Italy’s most luxurious hotels, all of which have views to make the heart beat a little faster. Capri has been home to holiday goers since the time of the Roman emperors, and if you pick the right moment to visit, the magic is still there.
