ITALY - AMALFI COAST
£ 1,549
Breathtaking terrain and dramatic cliff lined coastlines makes this world renowned ‘bucket list’ destination a must place to visit.
The sheer cliffs and rugged shorelines are dotted with small beaches, the perfect place to hideaway in the midday sunshine, pastel coloured houses and magnificent villas adorn the hillside like an Italian artists masterpiece reflecting across the vibrant blue waters.
Home to some of Italy’s finest hotels and restaurants, the Amalfi Coast is a favourite to the world’s jet set, Mr Bond himself, Brangelina and the Clooneys are regulars year in year out so if people watching is your thing, there’s no better place to just hang out at your favourite bar and take it all in.
To escape the star struck crowds Amalfi is also a favourite for hikers and walkers with many trails set out throughout the hillside and cliffs, surrounded by beautiful aromatic flora and woodland full of life.
Our Resort - Sorrento
Overlooking the Bay of Naples in the south west of Italy, Sorrento is one of the most popular places to visit on the Amalfi Coast, renowned for its abundant choice of shops, restaurants and bars with panoramic views across the glistening bay waters, Sorrento has everything for that prefect Italian holiday.
Whilst a place of relaxation and a people watchers paradise Sorrento offers many more energetic activities, good diving, sea fishing, boat cruises and excellent hiking and walking trails surround the area for those with a bit more ‘get up and go’.
Wander the backstreets for a taste of local life and tradition, alleyways twist and turn revealing shops, bars and hidden gems enticing you deeper into this magical maze. With the air filled with the scent of fresh basil, ripe tomatoes and wafer thin pizzas freshly baking in open ovens you can’t avoid the temptation to visit one of the many restaurants or bars available close by, the sophisticated L’Antica Trattoria for local specialities, Cafè Latino for great wine and its candlelit garden or the A’Marenna deli style street food washed down with a local brew.
Known as the land of Lemon Groves, Sorrento is the birthplace of the famous Limoncello liqueur so make sure you raise a glass or two to this wonderful Italian experience. Saluti!
