Enjoy romantic escapes with luxury villas, panoramic sea views, infinity pools, and authentic Italian charm, ideal for a secluded and luxurious retreat.
It feels almost familiar before you arrive, who hasn’t seen photo after glorious photo of the hillside towns of the Amalfi Coast decked out in pastel shades worthy of any Easter parade, apparently tumbling down forever-green mountainsides that kiss the bluest waters of the Mediterranean Sea?
The photos do not lie – the entire coastline is glorious, magnificent and utterly worthy of so many images. It is a must-see, a bucket list item for any traveller, the place of romance, honeymoons, smiles that last forever, fragrant dreams and memories that will never fade.
It is truly mesmerizing and fascinating – how is it possible to squeeze so much life, so many pretty homes and shops alongside so much useful agriculture? Postage-stamp-sized parcels of land jostle with tiny orange groves that fight for space with bandage-sized lots of lettuce and tomato plants – all on a vertical cliffside. The colours and the diversity make it so rich and fascinating.
As if all this splendiferous scenery is not enough, it is all offset against a shimmering backdrop of a multitude of magnificent Mediterranean blues. The sea glittering away – even on the cloudiest day – bobbing with pleasure craft or working fishing boats.
It’s like the most beautiful living jigsaw puzzle. A natural celebration of ingenious Italian engineering, a land crammed with so many patios, terraces, allotments and tiny parcels of incredibly valuable real estate, landscapes dotted with potted plants, chaises, olive trees, vines and even disco dance floors – all within 150 m of the sea!
The coast road winds from small town to small town, each endowed with history, memorable churches and its own characteristic charm. The road is undeniably quite treacherous with hairpin bends that Italian bus drivers and motorcyclists alike seem to believe belong to them alone. Driving is not for those who scare easily! We suggest the backseat comfort of a chauffeur-driven car – it’s so much easier and safer. Have the pro take the strain and stop for photo ops at every new turn in the road.
Each town offers a different take on a similar theme, some with ancient churches worthy of a special pilgrimage, some perched higher up the cliff face than others -all special in their own way.
