Amalfi Coast — curves, cliffs and limoncello

The Amalfi Coast is a necklace of towns hanging from the cliffs: pastel houses, narrow lanes and towering lemon terraces. If you want an agriturismo with sea views, each morning here tastes a little sweeter.

What to Expect

• Iconic towns: Positano (terraced houses), Amalfi (cathedral), Ravello (hanging gardens).
  
• Dramatic scenery: coastal roads clinging to cliffs with direct views toward Capri.
  
• Local flavors: homemade limoncello, fresh seafood and seafood pasta.

Recommended Agriturismo Experiences

1. Limoncello tasting & lemon garden — visit a lemon terrace and learn the family recipe.
   
2. Breakfast with a view — ask your host for fresh cornetti and a glass of lemon juice.
   
3. Boat trips to the Grotta dello Smeraldo or Capri.
   
4. Gentle hikes connecting Ravello, Maiori and Minori.

Practical Advice

• Best time to visit: May–July and September. August is crowded and prices spike.
  
• Parking is scarce — if your farmhouse is up on the hill, check for a host-led transfer.
  
• Combine lazy pool afternoons with a day trip by boat.

Short Recommendation

Pick an agriturismo with a terrace facing the sea: morning coffee with a sea breeze and an evening limoncello make for a perfect memory.
