Pizzeria e Ristorante Donna Stella, Amalfi Coast

Advantages: Beautiful, Italian, romantic
Disadvantages: Very narrow roads and very hilly

...The Amalfi coast 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... Read review

Advantages: The beautiful views and weather
Disadvantages: Too much to see!!!!!

...Ive been to Sorrento twice. Both times, I loved it more then anything and i really didnt want to come Home. I loved this destination soooo much that I have changed what I want to do for a career in order to live there when I'm older. And who can blame me? Looking out across the Bay of Naples whilst the sun is beaming down on you, you get to see the fantastic view of Mount Vesuvius, the live Volcano. So many sights to see, so many places to go. Pompei is near by, with the insight of how Romans used to live in 79AD, simply breath taking. Also, the Amalfi Coast is a Brilliant route to follow to see the wonderful blue sea and many cathedrals. Also, go to Naples and eat out in an Italian pizzeria. The hotels are also really good value, many of them only £16 for Bed, Breakfast and dinner. They offer fantastic views. If you are lucky then you... Read review

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 Amalfi coast 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 Amalfi coast by bus, be prepared for the ride of your life. The access road is just wide enough for the bus in many places, limited... Read review
