Unimaginable Landscapes
It seems like a dream, but it is reality: the towns of the Sorrento Peninsula are like something out of a painter's brush, yet they are right here, just a few kilometers away.
Retrace the steps of the ancients in Campania's archaeological excavations, in its streets and domus, where you feel the history as if it were happening in that very moment.
You can also set off for the islands: they are closer than you think.

Sorrento
is the land of the Sirens. As the myth goes, these very creatures, who tempted Ulysses in the Odyssey, traveled from Scylla and Charybdis to Punta Campanella, at the tip of our peninsula.
In this magic location the sea and beaches are enchanting, such as Marina Grande, set of "Scandal in Sorrento" Marina Piccola, Bagni di Regina Giovanna or Pignatella.
If you love walking, head off to the Bay of Ieranto and the Path of the Gods. Alternatively, taste the best local delicacies such as gnocchi alla sorrentina and seafood dishes.

Positano
is to be discovered at a slow pace, because it can only be visited on foot, due to its shape. It is a city that exudes its charm like flowers in spring, with the same enthusiasm and authenticity.
The sunset is a sight to behold from its beaches: the one of Fornillo, between two of the city's Saracen towers, or the small beaches nestled in the Mediterranean maquis such as Laurito, San Pietro, Arienzo, Fiumicello, La Porta or Torre Sponda.
An emblem of the Dolce Vita, Positano is filled with quaint spots, unforgettable sights, small craft stores and evenings spent sipping good wine and quietly eating something delicious.

Amalfi
is a town defined by ancient businesses and commerce, which today comes alive again with its picturesque sights and its history. Amalfi once was a maritime republic, characterized by sumptuous palaces.
Among the most beatiful places to visit are the beaches such as the pebble beach of Duoglio, which can be reached after a descent of nearly 500 steps, as well as Santa Croce and Le Marinelle, which are much more secluded and cozy.
A local lemon, called "sfusato amalfitano," is grown here and can be enjoyed either fresh or in an iced limoncello.

Ravello
you choose it when you want to take a break from everything and everyone. It is the place to forget about the chaos of the world and take refuge in its narrow streets adorned with flowers, enjoying its beautiful atmosphere.
The walks and the contact with nature are at the center of the experience to be lived in this town, which is a real terrace on the sea, where you can enjoy the slow living and walking with no destination and with no hurry, among villas, alleys and its panoramic viewpoint.
It is easy to imagine why Ravello attracted writers such as Woolf, Forster and Lawrence, but also the actress Greta Garbo, the painter Escher and the musician Wagner: it has an irresistible charm.

Pompeii and Herculaneum
have been frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Rediscover them today by visiting archaeological excavations open to the public.
Both cities were among the most thriving in Ancient Rome, and you can recapture their glory by strolling through the streets, villas, theaters and thermal baths, but also the cafes, bakeries and places that still seem to offer visitors what the ancients ate and bought.
Each visit is a plunge into the past that feels like the present. It is the discovery of an ancient society that was, in some respects, as modern as our own.

Capri, Ischia and Procida
are the three islands in the Gulf of Naples that you can reach by hydrofoil or ferry from the towns on the Amalfi Coast.
It's hard to choose which one to visit, so we recommend all three.
Capri is the one of the Sea Stacks, but also of glamour, between nature and luxury.
Ischia is the one of wellness, thermal baths and beaches where you can relax.
Procida is the most authentic one, relaxed and outside of time, with colorful houses and local products, from fish to handicrafts.
Charles Dickens said that nowhere in the world are there as many opportunities to enjoy the quiet as on Capri: we think the same of all three islands!
