Holidays in Amalfi, Campania
A town and district within Campania in southern Italy, Amalfi is situated about 40 km from Naples at the mouth of a deep ravine and at the foot of Mount Cerreto.
The British aristocracy have enjoyed holidays in Amalfi since the 1920s and with such dramatic scenery, spectacular sea views, wonderful architecture and history, pastel coloured houses and steep winding streets, it’s not difficult to see why!
Explore Amalfi
The Piazza Duomo (Amalfi Cathedral) is a monumental complex made up of a number of churches and a bell tower. One of the most photographed sights (other than the sea view); the Piazza Duomo is a perfect example of Romanesque-Amalfitan architecture with the stunning Cloisters of Paradise (Chiostro del Paradise), Cathedral of St Paul, paintings, frescos and a museum.
The Emerald Grotto in Amalfi is a wonderful cave with light bouncing off the water and stalactites, producing a spectacular array of colours and shapes; a tour may be taken of the cave from Amalfi’s Pennello quay.
Holiday accommodation in Amalfi
The more elite hotels and villas in Amalfi are based around the lovely Duoglio Beach which is separated from St Croce Beach where the sea is exceptionally clear, by rocks. Other beaches reached by boat from Amalfi include little La Marienella Beach and the Promontory of Vettica with the Villa Ponti park.
