Manufacturer's product description
Cognoscenti have sung the praises of this understated landmark since 1872. Tile floors, green tablecloths, and a terrace set above the main street are soothing elements. The kitchen glistens, the menu is printed on local handmade paper, and Amalfi foodies appreciate such favorites as oven-baked fish with lemon peel and the tubettoni alla masaniello (tiny pieces of pasta with capers, mussels, and prawns). Traces of Amalfi's Arabic roots can be found in the sweets made with almonds and citrus fruits. Reservations essential.
Advantages: Beautiful, Italian, romantic Disadvantages: Very narrow roads and very hilly
...The Amalficoast is possibly one of the most beautiful and romantic places in the world. We got engaged there, in Ravello, so it obviously holds a very special place in my heart. There are several towns which are beautiful to stay in. We were based in Positano which is split into 2 areas by a deep ravine. All hotels are ont eh cliff face with fantastic views out to sea. Positano can get a bit touristy in high season so I would recomend going in Spring time - late April through to early June. There are also many good places to eat to suit most budgets and a couple of very special hotels if your budget allows. Otherwise there are plenty of excellent guest houses which are clean and comfortable.
Amalfi itself is an historically interesting town and well worth a visit. As is Ravello on the top of the hills, famous for Wagner stories...

Advantages: Stunning views, Superb cuisine Disadvantages: Small beaches due to high cliffs
...Amalfi is nestled amongst the beautiful cliffs and centuries old rocky outcrops that line the coast of Italy between the gritty, bustling city of Naples to the north, and the overgrown city of Salerno to the south. It's a very small town, but probably the most recognized one along the stretch, mainly because the coastline on which it is situated has taken its name.
The Amalficoast actually consists of a number of small towns, most of which can be accessed by bus from either Naples or Salerno. You can also take a train from Naples to the town of Sorrento and then a bus from Sorrento to Amalfi. (This is your cheapest option from Naples if you are travelling with a Eurrail pass as I was.) If you do visit the Amalficoast by bus, be prepared for the ride of your life. The access road is just wide enough for the bus in many places, limited...

The reason as to why I bought my PSP was simple; I wanted to play a game that I was simply addicted to when I used to go to the arcades when I was on a family holiday at the seaside. The game was Out Run and was originally released back in 1986, the... more
I don't mind admitting that I love this country of ours, and one of the things I love most is the spectacular coastline that we are blessed with. It is no surprise then that when the Beeb produced the first series of Coast I was an ardent viewer.
