Cote amalfitaine
Spectacular range of cliffs, vertical villages, lemon trees, belvederes and trails overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.

See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: roads very slow and very expensive in high season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Amalfi
In Amalfi, energy comes from the contrasts between port, vertical alleys and views that suddenly open towards the sea. The movements offer a reading in layers: coastal animation, more intimate passages, visual feedback to the facades. The place is understood when alternating facade walk and mounted towards the points of view.
Place
Positano
Positano requires a smooth rhythm between stairs, narrow squares and water edges. Each elbow reveals a different texture of light on the facades, then a change of level that broadens the perspective. This dynamic makes each walk unique and explains why the village really reads on the move.
Place
Ravello
In Ravello, the relief accompanies the route of its streets and amplifies the sensation of hanging landscape. The viewpoints and the more closed passages alternate, offering very contrasting visual rhythms. The details of gardens and pedestrian axes become as important as the famous views.
Place
Atrani
Atrani is distinguished by a compact village ladder: docks, venals and close facades build a very legible experience for who agrees to reduce his race. The slightest detour becomes more legible when you observe local usages and how light plays on damp walls. The natural rhythm dictates the best reading.
