Curator’s statement
I love this destination because it feels like something out of a dream, with dramatic views, colorful buildings, and that relaxed coastal vibe you can’t find anywhere else. It’s the kind of place where every corner feels special, whether you’re walking through small streets or just watching the sunset. I also love how it blends luxury with authenticity—you can have an amazing meal, then discover hidden local spots right after. It’s a place I’d go back to again and again without getting tired of it

Things to do on the Amalfi Coast
Evenings on the water: coffee in hand, just taking it all in.
Wandering around Positano: I just like getting lost in the small streets, checking out shops, and stopping for coffee with a view.
Hanging out at Spiaggia Grande: It’s the main beach, but the vibe is great and the view of the town from there is unreal.
Taking a boat along the coast: Honestly, one of my favorite things—seeing the coastline from the water hits different.
Going up to Ravello: It’s quieter up there and the views are insane, especially from Villa Cimbrone.
Having a long dinner by the sea: I like just sitting down, taking my time, good food, wine, and watching the sunset.
Hiking the Path of the Gods: It’s a bit of a workout but totally worth it for the views.
Doing a day trip to Capri: Super easy and fun—nice change of scenery for a day.
Trying limoncello: You kind of have to, it’s everywhere and it actually tastes really good there.
Finding quieter beaches: I prefer the smaller spots where it’s less crowded and more chill.
Checking out local shops: I usually look for handmade stuff like sandals or ceramics. It feels more personal.
Places to eat & drink on the Amalfi Coast
Random moments like this always end up being the best memories.
La Sponda (Le Sirenuse, Positano): I love the atmosphere here—super romantic with candles everywhere, and the food is just as good as the view.
Chez Black (Positano): Right on the beach, perfect spot for seafood and pasta while watching everything happening around you.
Da Adolfo (Positano): It’s more low-key and you get there by boat, which makes it feel like a hidden spot—great for a relaxed lunch.
Il San Pietro Restaurant (Positano): A bit more upscale, but the views are unreal and it’s a full experience, not just a meal.
Ristorante Pizzeria Donna Stella (Positano): I like this one for something more casual—good pizza and a nice garden vibe.
Palazzo Avino Restaurant (Ravello): Really beautiful setting, perfect if you want something a little more elegant with amazing views.
Villa Cimbrone Bar (Ravello): Great place to stop for a drink after exploring—super chill with a crazy good view.
Franco’s Bar (Positano): One of my favorite spots for drinks—simple, stylish, and perfect for sunset.
Le Sirenuse Champagne & Oyster Bar (Positano): Good spot if you want something a bit more fun and social with great drinks.
Buonocore Gelateria (Positano): I always stop here for gelato—simple, fresh, and really good after walking around all day.
Need to know
I’d say plan things a bit ahead, especially hotels and restaurants, because everything fills up fast in peak season.
Getting around isn’t always quick traffic can be crazy, so I usually give myself extra time or just take a boat when possible.
Definitely wear comfortable shoes. There are a lot of stairs and walking.
If you can, go in May or September, it’s still amazing but way less crowded.
