The Ultimate Amalfi Coast Itinerary: Top Villas, Boat Tours & Michelin Dining
Positano, Italy along the Amalfi Coast at dusk. getty Just a few hours south of Rome, Italy's Amalfi Coast unfolds into a breathtaking landscape of rugged cliffs overlooking cerulean waters. Lush with lemon groves and olive trees, it's an Italian paradise that attracts crowds in droves. According to recent data from Oliver's Travels, Campania—which includes Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast—ranks as the second most searched region in Italy. For high-demand destinations, it is essential for travelers to make reservations early and plan well in advance for the experiences they want to have. Use this guide to help you plan your visit to the Amalfi Coast right and enjoy a relaxing, peaceful escape to one of Italy's most beautiful destinations. Begin by booking a villa rental with the UK-based Oliver's Travels (awarded Best Villa Company in the World by Condé Nast Traveller readers). For the past 20 years, they have curated an intriguing portfolio of handpicked villas and châteaux. One thing your rental will not be is ordinary. Indeed, our Villa Minette in Sant'Agata was the oldest villa in the town (dating back 600 years)—the two-foot-thick walls and tiled floors were testament to its remarkable heritage. The team at Oliver's offers concierge services to manage every aspect of your trip, from arranging private chefs and transfers to organizing activities and babysitting. More importantly, they were in constant contact about the villa, ensuring check-in formalities went smoothly. Our on-site contact was indispensable for planning, dinner reservations, and car transfers. We arrived to a stocked refrigerator as well—a thoughtful touch after a long day of traveling. The best way to familiarize yourself with the region and its stunning scope is by boat—touring by car promises lots of time on winding roads sitting in traffic. For your first day, work with the villa concierge to arrange a private guided boat tour—they'll handle the transfer to and from the marina as well. Touring by boat allows you to explore seaside towns such as Positano, Praiano, and Amalfi, with time at the end for a swim. Another must-see experience is a visit to Pompeii, just a short one-hour drive from Sorrento or Sant'Agata. Given the staggering size of this archaeological site, it's essential to book a guide to make ideal use of your time. We worked with Access Italy, a company with 40 years of experience arranging tours across Italy. Owned by Italians, the team is based in Rome and has spent decades cultivating a portfolio of seasoned local guides. For Pompeii, our driver was a 25-year veteran of the company, and our guide was in her 30th year in the business. Seeing the crowds at Pompeii, she wisely reversed our tour route and started us at the end so we could enjoy the museum in peace. She then guided us through the expansive site, targeting the highlights with depth and optimal timing to best avoid the masses—of course, she knew everyone who worked there, which helped move things along. Even her advice on the best times for snacks and bathroom breaks made the entire visit a smart, seamless way to explore one of the most popular tourist sites in Italy. Demonstration kitchen for cooking classes at Don Alfonso 1890 Don Alfonso 1890 A cooking class is an excellent way to understand the local cuisine, as is dining in one of the region's legendary restaurants—and you can do both at Don Alfonso 1890, a Michelin-starred restaurant and hotel in Sant'Agata. I suggest breaking the experience up and booking the cooking class for lunch one day and dinner the following day, as both will leave you quite satisfied. Cooking classes are held in a charming, fully equipped private kitchen overlooking a lush courtyard. Here, a team of chefs will guide you through three dishes, putting you to work cleaning crawfish, cutting pasta dough, and slicing citrus and eggplant, all while demonstrating how each recipe can best be adjusted for home cooking. The experience comes loaded with time-honored clever techniques, and you'll leave with several new recipes—but the highlight of the experience is taking a seat at the beautifully laid table and dining on your creations. Wines are paired with each course, and you'll get a chance to peek into their stunning main kitchen to see how a Michelin-starred restaurant operates. The four-hour experience will leave you in need of a nap and a light dinner, which is why I suggest booking your dining experience for the following day. Michelin starred dishes at Don Alfonso Don Alfonso 1890 Don Alfonso 1890 is both sophisticated and inviting; a true family-run establishment that takes guests on a historic tour of the centuries-old culinary heritage and traditions of the Amalfi Coast. Dishes are inspired by the organic produce of the family farm, Le Peracciole situated on 17 acres across the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula. The farm yields everything from olive oil and fresh vegetables to lemons for their famous limoncello. The multi-course menu features the local best—consider the smoked yellowtail served with wild fennel seeds and fried garlic mayonnaise, a fresh and brightly flavored taste of the sea. Similarly, the lobster and mozzarella skewer over pineapple ravioli with vanilla beetroot heart and spumante jelly is exquisite. Classic offerings such as beef ravioli with a Genovese ragout drizzled with a parmesan and black truffle foam are impeccably prepared as well. Regardless of what you order, plan for an evening of dazzling bites and true Italian hospitality. Al fresco dining at Bellevue Syrene Bellevue Syrene Pair your dinner with unparalleled views at Bellevue Syrene, located in the heart of Sorrento. Here, the spectacular fuchsia-blue hued sunset is as delicious and fabulous as the cuisine. The al fresco dining room faces the sea, so everyone has a prime view, and live soft piano music accompanies the ambiance. Views of Mount Vesuvius just add to the spectacle. When you can tear your eyes away from the horizon, consider savoring a dish of succulent tomatoes and burrata, or sea bream in a silky potato cream. Their Sorrento lobster with a savory shallot dressing is equally delicious. The cocktails and mocktails are certainly worthy, but the wine list is more tempting, with several older vintages offered from Italy's top wine regions. A few other things to consider: Skip a rental car and book all transfers to and from the region prior to arriving. You'll spend your time enjoying the scenery rather than white-knuckling it through the many hairpin turns. Everything is in demand so book in advance as much as possible to avoid disappointment.

Why Villa Treville Is One Of The Amalfi Coast's Most Iconic Hotels
Courtesy of Villa Treville First opened as a hotel in 2010, Villa Treville has quickly become one of the grand dames of the Amalfi Coast. A refined hotel with cinematic views of Positano, it sits on a vast terraced estate with enviable views of the seaside town. Here, you're close enough to feel fully immersed in the experience, yet far enough away to enjoy the idyllic setting without the crowds. A property with roots dating back to the 18th century, Treville was most famously owned by director Franco Zeffirelli who purchased the villa in the 1960s. The acclaimed film and opera director of hits including Romeo and Juliet (1968) and La Traviata (1982), added a theatrical touch to the estate with the help of his set designer, Renzo Mongiardino, who brought a Moorish flair to the Mediterranean property. Courtesy of Villa Treville Southern Italy, including the Amalfi Coast, was historically part of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and retains its Arab heritage in architecture, design, and cuisine. At Treville, this legacy comes to life through the estate's Moroccan lanterns, which cast a warm, dreamlike glow across its rooms and gardens. Though primarily based in Rome, Zeffirelli spent his summers on the Amalfi Coast hosting friends and celebrities such as Maria Callas, Elton John, Elizabeth Taylor and Rudolf Nureyev — the legendary Russian dancer who purchased a home on the private Li Galli islands, visible just offshore. The Zeffirelli Suite Today, Treville's 16 bedrooms and suites are named after these icons, along with Zeffirelli's legendary productions. Originally set within three villas ('tre ville') which are white, pink and blue, the hotel now boasts six villas which are connected by secret staircases, cobbled passageways and flower-lined trails. Each suite has its own character with a mix of historic touches and modern luxury. The Callas Suite The Callas Suite, with a turquoise and citrus color palette, features an outdoor terrace and private heated plunge pool beneath a shaded canopy, while the blue and white striped Bernstein Suite boasts a striking circular shower fitted within the property's historic brick bread oven. The Zeffirelli Suite, with four bedrooms and four en-suite bathrooms, is the crown jewel of the property with rare art and historic furnishings collected by the director, along with its own terrace and private heated plunge pool. The Callas Suite Many of Zeffirelli's original design elements have remained the same, including his ethereal white salon, a voluminous space entirely decorated in white tiles serving as a perfect retreat from Positano's intense sunshine. Today it has been reimagined as Bianca Bar, a botanical lounge where tradition meets innovation, and cocktails are mixed using distillers and herbs harvested from the property's gardens. Two panoramic terraces look out onto Positano and the sea, framed by leafy plants, colorful throw pillows and flapping curtains that add a touch of mystic to the whole ambiance. Arguably the most photogenic terrace in Positano, it has a feeling of exclusivity while remaining relaxed — like lounging at a friend's exclusive villa, with unpretentious service and thoughtful hospitality. Bianca Bar Following sunset drinks, guests gather at Maestro's, the property's romantic open-air terrace restaurant with ivy adorned columns and a tiled fountain at the center. Everywhere, Moroccan lamps cast a warm glow that enhance the scenic sunsets. Helmed by chef Vincenzo Castaldo, Maestro's focuses on seasonal dishes and regional classics using ingredients from the property's organic garden. The emphasis here is on elevated comfort food — from Spaghetti alla Nerano featuring fried zucchini tossed in a creamy parmesan sauce, and mozzarella-stuffed artichokes with black truffles to seared tuna with sautéed vegetables. Maestro's Restaurant Beyond the main property, lush gardens and winding pathways lead the guests down to The Rocks, a chic beach club that juts into the sea, offering perfectly framed views of Positano with its iconic blue umbrellas and striped sun loungers. This small oasis serves as both a tranquil retreat and the dedicated pier for the hotel's enhanced boat fleet, recently expanded with the addition of Treville Maritime's private yacht, the Wajer 38 Spectre. Another sanctuary is La Traviata, Treville's luxurious spa set in a sunlit greenhouse. The spa exclusively uses products by Dr. Barbara Sturm, who is a frequent guest of the property, celebrated for its restorative massages and treatments. Courtesy of Villa Treville A recent addition includes cold-water immersion therapy, with a cold plunge pool maintained at a brisk 50°F (10°C) that perfectly complements the spa's existing heat therapies. Another wellness highlight is the property's heated grotto pool which provides perfectly framed views of the sea. Treville remains a preferred hideaway for celebrities including Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Sting who appreciate its luxurious amenities combined with a low-key vibe. Guests can arrive by road or, more discreetly, by sea. The hotel's private boat shuttle service also escorts guests from the hotel to Positano and beyond on a complimentary basis, providing convenient access while showcasing the Amalfi Coast's legendary views. The Rocks beach club How To Reach Positano Sorrento Car Tours provides transfer services and excursions throughout the Amalfi Coast, including Naples to Positano (1.5 hours). They can also arrange nearby sightseeing tours to visit Amalfi, Ravello and beyond.

70 Years Of Dolce Vita: Hotel Poseidon Positano's Enduring Charm
Hotel Poseidon Positano RAFFAELE CAPPIELLO Every summer vacation spent in Positano feels special, but a stay at Hotel Poseidon Positano in 2025 means celebrating a piece of history — the beloved property turns 70 this year, and there's much to fête in honor of its big anniversary. Built in 1955 with just five hotel rooms, the hotel now has 48 rooms and suites with sweeping views of the iconic Italian coastline. Still family-owned and now overseen entirely by women in leadership, the property blends old-world charm with modern-day comforts. 'In today's world, not many family-owned and independently-owned businesses make it past five years, let alone 70,' says Liliana Mascolo, PR and Communications Manager at Hotel Poseidon Positano. 'To continue our family's legacy the way we've always envisioned — with many of the same employees who have been with us for decades — is our biggest accomplishment.' Check in and receive a real key — no disposable key cards here — before ascending the plush red velvet staircase to your room. Or take the elevator, the first one ever built in Positano, dating back to 1965. If it's available and within your budget, the Wow Suite lives up to its name. It's the hotel's largest suite, complete with a sprawling terrace, vibrant décor, and spacious sitting areas. Every room at Hotel Poseidon features hand-painted terracotta tiles and distinctly Italian details like Santa Maria Novella soaps. As the sun dips behind the opposing Positano cliffside, soak up the last golden hour rays before heading out for dinner, with live music drifting through the property. Hotel Poseidon Hotel Poseidon Positano The hotel's Il Tridente restaurant is an alfresco dream during the warmer summer evenings with a flower-filled pergola and magnificent view of the sea. Start your evening with a cocktail — their Negronis and Hugo Spritzes are expertly crafted and refreshing. Signature dishes like lemon pasta and eggplant parmigiana are essential orders. The chef, who's been with the hotel for 15 years, uses the best seasonal and local ingredients that showcase the best of Amalfi's culinary heritage. After a good night's sleep, you can opt for a leisurely day of relaxing by the hotel's pool or take the hotel's 1971 vintage Volkswagen convertible beetle for a spin. 'The car has been passed down from generation to generation, so it only felt right to offer our guests a way to experience a piece of our family's history in a really unique way,' says Mascolo. You don't need a reservation or payment to rent the vehicle, just a valid driver's license and the ability to drive a manual transmission. Take the car for a spin along the coast's famously windy roads popping into restaurants and small villages along the way. Hotel Poseidon Hotel Poseidon Positano If you're looking to rent a car for your entire trip, not just a quick spin, Driverso is a luxury rental platform that simplifies getting around the Amalfi Coast. Skip the usual car rental spots where it can take forever to get your vehicle and instead conveniently get your car delivered right to your hotel. Online booking is smooth and simple with realtime vehicles available and a guaranteed model once selected. Keep in mind that the Amalfi Coast streets are fairly narrow so if you get an SUV, you should be a confident and capable driver to not have a meltdown en route to your hotel. During your time Positano you should visit CREO Positano, a handmade eyewear founded by Crescenzo Parlato who's a longtime friend of Hotel Poseidon Positano. In the summer of 2021, the property teamed up with CREO Positano to launch a limited collection of 12 sunglasses. Each pair drew inspiration from the hotel's distinctive charm from its hand-painted tiles to the iconic red-and-white branding that defines its coastal aesthetic. The result? A wearable celebration of the hotel's vibrant design and Positano spirit. The following year the hotel launched a private workshop experience that allows our guests the opportunity to meet Crescenzo in his atelier and watch him make a pair from the collection. If you love to see how handmade eyewear is made from start to finish, you'll love to see his craftsmanship in action. Margherita Mascolo, Monica Aonzo, and Liliana Mascolo Hotel Poseidon Positano A stay at Hotel Poseidon Positano offers more than beautiful views, it's a window into the town's heritage, with a legacy of hospitality passed down through generations and rooted in the heart of this coastal gem. At the heart of Hotel Poseidon's enduring charm is a deep-rooted sense of purpose, one that honors its past while looking to the future. 'We never lose sight of where the hotel came from and how it started, and we're committed to keeping things in order for the future — for the next generation,' says Mascolo. 'That shared sense of purpose keeps us grounded and moving forward together.' This blend of heritage, heart, and hospitality continues to make Hotel Poseidon not just a place to stay, but a living part of Positano's story.

An insider's guide to the Amalfi Coast's undiscovered walking trails
Somewhere in between the vineyards and the jagged cliffs tumbling into the sapphire Tyrrhenian waves, is a path that remains frozen in time. Carved above one of the most picturesque coastlines in the world, the Path of the Gods is the last bastion of diluted tourism on the Costa D'Amalfi. Celebrated in both literature and myth, this undiscovered hiking gem doesn't carry its name for nothing. Its origins trace back to the days of Ulysses: when the divine descended from Olympus, taking to these coastal peaks and ravines to rescue him from the mystical gulf of the Siren Islands off the peninsula. Away from the tour buses and traffic lies a set of undiscovered routes diverging in distance and difficulty, to capture the Costiera's views at their most magnificent. The main path goes Westward from Bomerano to Nocelle, a high-set neighbourhood of Positano, through unbeatable views of the peninsula's lemon groves and iconic beaches. Route one: easy Although not appropriate for those afraid of heights due to its vertiginous vantage point, the main trail is suitable for hikers of all levels, including children. The climb starts in Bomerano, the highest point in the rustic red-roofed town of Agerola. The trail continues across the Lattari Mountains for 5.7 miles and takes around four hours. Route two: intermediate The alternative path starts in Praiano, Positano's much quieter neighbour. The artful town – known for its charming mosaics decorating each alley and the laundry which hangs from its windows, dancing in the Mediterranean breeze – is a lesser-discovered base from which to explore the Sorrentine peninsula. The catch is getting up the mountain to arrive on the trail: from Praiano, there's a winding staircase leading past the forbearing Convent of St Domenico, 580 meters up to join the Path of The Gods. This trail is slightly shorter, with a 4.4 mile run and taking just under four hours. Route three: expert Following the same part of the coastline is a 'high' version of the trail, offering a higher-altitude option for thrill seekers. This third and final trail option starts in Bomerano and ends in Santa Maria del Castello, just above Positano. This hike passes through three peaks: Capo Muro, Monte Calabrice, and Monte Tre Calli, all above 1,000 meters in altitude. The tougher elevation is rewarded with unparalleled views and lower chances of encountering hiking companions. If you feel up to the challenge, loop back around the trail for a whole day of hiking. If going one way, try walking the path in the direction of Positano: with its slightly downward inclination, the road faces the best of the peninsula's views, with Capri and its islets in eyeshot alongside the remarkable Costiera Amalfitana. Hikers taking a single way along the path can return to their starting point by the local SITA buses, which stop regularly along the iconic coastal road all the way to Amalfi. During the warmer months, regular ferries from Positano and Amalfi offer a scenic ride to Naples or Salerno, the Costiera's main airport options. The Path itself is accessible throughout the year, although spring and autumn promise great weather and minimal crowds. Why do it? The Sentiero degli Dei, as it is written on arrows signposting the beginning of the hike, is an authentic postcard of the traditional Sorrentine lifestyle. Along the path are farmers still working the narrow terraces, family owned vineyards, and a slower pace of life. Beyond the echo of clanging goat bells in the hills beyond, visitors remain unperturbed by the sounds of rumbling boat engines and wailing infants that are down away from earshot. The occasional appearance of abandoned stone-built cottages serve as a refuge from the Sorrentine sun, but also remind visitors of the harsh realities of rural labourers. In the ages before the peninsula's beauty was discovered by travellers, those working in agriculture or the paper industry for which the region was most notorious, would trudge along these heightened paths in a daily plight against elevation. Of course, hiking has never played much of a role in the pursuit of La Dolce Vita, meaning you'll rarely encounter Italians on these paths – and thanks to the rustic facilities, you're unlikely to meet many tourists either. There are a few water fountains along the way to refill water bottles, and scattered refuges and cafes for shaded breaks. Despite the path's recent refurbishment, with barriers on key points and white and red arrows marking the trail, its jagged turns and wild dusty paths maintain an untouched quality. The reward The road to Nocelle ends in a plaza where a small lemonade stand affords a true Amalfi coast welcome. Nocelle is a tiny rustic village with green villas and terraces covered in luscious Bougainville – but its beauty lies in its captivating views. The final stop of the hike offers a stunning opening onto the bay ahead, as the distant mirage of Positano's colourful terraces emerge into the golden Campanian sunlight. This is the place to stop for a photograph, before descending the seemingly infinite staircase back down to the road. Many walk the remaining 500 meters to Positano, but take a tip from the local slow-living residents and, instead, follow the last 300 steps down from the road and have a swim in the calm waters of Arienzo beach. Practical tips It is essential to bring a full water bottle, sunblock, light hiking clothes, a sun hat, and a camera to capture the extraordinary views. The picnic tables spread throughout the path at key scenic points invite hikers to indulge in a picturesque pause above the turquoise waters, so bring a packed lunch. Packing a sandwich is less tedious when any salumeria, a local delicatessen, will serve fresh bread, the local dairy delight of caciocavallo, or her Neapolitan majesty, the mozzarella di Bufala – the food of the Gods herself. How to do it EasyJet flies from London Gatwick to Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport from £57 return, and to Naples from £40 return. British Airways has recently launched a new route to Salerno, with flights from £66 one way. From Salerno, take the local SITA buses (for Positano, Bomerano and Praiano), or ferries (for Amalfi or Positano) with their corresponding shuttles. The Grand Hotel Tritone in Praiano (0039 0898 74333) has doubles from £589 per night, including breakfast; the more affordable Hostaria Albergo Dipinto Bacco Furore on the seafront of Agerola (0039 0898 30360) has doubles from £250 per night, also including breakfast.
