Curator’s statement
The Amalfi Coast is where I send clients who want romance that feels organic to the region of cliffside towns, lemon groves, and water so blue it looks retouched. What I love most is how differently each town reveals itself: Positano's energy, Capri's polish, Amalfi's quiet Impressiveness. It's a coast built for slowing down, and every time I plan a trip here, I fall for it again. I specifically love sending client's here on the shoulder seasons so they experience everything without the crowds that can take away from the experience.

Things to do on the Amalfi Coast
Lemon groves above Positano is a favorite stop on the Vespa tour.
Mediterranean cooking class at Villa Magia, Positano
A hands-on four-hour class that ends with the full meal you just made. It's one of the best culinary experiences on the coast, and a short walk from most Positano hotels.
Amalfi lemon grove Vespa tour
A scenic ride through the terraced lemon groves above Positano, capped with lunch under the trees—starter, lemon pasta, dessert, and limoncello included. Consistently the highlight guests mention when they get home.
Private boat tour of Capri
A half-day on the water with a skipper who customizes the stops—snorkeling, swimming, a stop at the Blue Grotto (bring cash for entry). There's no better way to see the Faraglioni.
Kayak tour of Capri's caves & beaches
A more active, up-close alternative to the boat tour, with GoPro photos included so you actually get to be in the pictures for once.
Vintage convertible tour to Ravello
A private, custom-routed drive along the coast with an hour to wander Ravello's gardens and views. It's the kind of afternoon that feels like it was written into a film.
Wandering Via dei Mulini, Positano
My go-to recommendation for a slower afternoon—beach time, boutique shopping, and people-watching along Positano's prettiest shopping street.
The funicolare up to Piazzetta Umberto I
A three-minute cable car that delivers you straight into Capri's famous piazzetta. Small moment, but it always gets a reaction.
Places to eat & drink on the Amalfi Coast
Sitting on Il Tridente’s terrace and as close to the pool deck as you are to the endless horizon of the Mediterranean doesn’t feel like the traditional fine dining experience. The atmosphere will have you feeling like you’re on nonna’s seaside porch.
Da Adolfo, Positano: A legendary boat-access beach restaurant with fresh fish grilled to order. You take a little free boat straight from the beach to get there, which makes it half the fun. Closed Mondays.
Lo Guarracino, Positano: Terraced cliffside tables and superb fresh seafood pasta. Book for sunset if you can.
Lo Scoglio, Positano: Where I always try to secure a reservation; ask for Giuseppe. Worth pre-booking a water taxi from the main beach.
Il Riccio, Capri: Michelin-starred, right on the water with views of the Faraglioni. Reserve well in advance—this one books up fast.
Da Paolino, Capri: Dinner in a lemon-grove garden lit by candlelight. Classic Caprese cooking in one of the most romantic settings on the island.
Aurora, Capri: A local institution since 1947. Excellent pizza and pasta, always buzzy. My pick for a livelier night out.
Le Grottelle, Capri: A cave-set restaurant near the Arco Naturale. Rustic, unexpected, and known for its pasta and rabbit dishes.
La Caravella, Amalfi: One of the oldest restaurants on the coast, Michelin-recognized, serving refined Amalfitano classics.
Ristorante Eolo, Amalfi: Terrace dining right on the waterfront with the day's fresh catch. A memorable setting for a final night on the coast.
Lido Azzurro, Amalfi: Casual, honest seafood at the port, and a favorite with locals. Great value if you want something lower-key.
Need to know
April, May, and September are shoulder season, so ferries between towns run reliably, but it's worth confirming times locally rather than assuming a fixed schedule.
Bring euros in cash—some tour add-ons (like Blue Grotto entry) are cash-only.
The EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES) for biometrics went into effect in April 2026, so expect longer, more confusing lines at entry. Build in extra time.
Government-issued photo ID or passport is required at every hotel check-in.
