Amalfi Coast book

The Amalfi Coast is the pinnacle of the Italian dream. Nestled among lemon trees and bougainvillea is a line of thirteen towns that make up the Amalfi Coast. Known for their vertical landscape, the villages can only be reached via Strada Statale 163 – a narrow, winding cliffside road that, while unsettling to traverse, offers unrivaled views. This magical strip joins the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea below and aesthetes from around the world flock year after year to enjoy its picturesque pebble beaches, scenic hikes, perfect climate and legendary establishments, which are not limited not to historic hotels and restaurants. Monuments from Amalfi Cathedral to Villa Rufolo in Ravello all evoke the culture and spirit of centuries past, and monuments loved by Jacqueline Kennedy, John Steinbeck and Gore Vidal abound. With its signature limoncello, both grown and enjoyed locally, its finest villas and breathtaking views, the Amalfi Coast is in a class of its own.
