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...

Advantages: Best of both worlds for walkers (and cyclists, cross country skiers and horse-riders) Disadvantages: If you don’t like walking (or cycling or skiing or riding) read no further
...enjoyable day. Just a shame about the icy wind and snow!
On day three we moved on to Ravello, accompanying our luggage by car some of the way, and walking the final 9km with a loop inland through lemon-groves from Maiori; could have done more had the route allowed for it. Ravello is a beautiful old town of narrow streets and gardens, perched on a hilltop high above the sea. Here Inntravel have found another comfortable and characterful hotel with good food – the Villa Maria. But we had another quibble with the route-planning; Inntravel’s notes suggest you spend the next day (4) exploring the town. Full of interest though it is, Ravello does not require a full day, especially if you have arrived early the previous afternoon. But we found the local Tourist Office sold a local walking map for €1 showing paths down to the seashore, so...

Advantages: Privacy Disadvantages: Lack of security
...We booked our villa in Calpe, Spain last year. On arrival the keys to the villa had been left unattended in a plantpot. All our holiday money was subsequently stolen. James villas did not provide a safe, they told us that they could not determine what individual villa owners put into each villa. Surely if they rent them out to us, then they have some responsibility for our personal security. Needless to say they took no responsibility for these events when we contacted them after we arrived home. The customer service was non existent. Anyone could have copied or stolen the keys, (only one set was available for us)and we spent the rest of the week afraid to go out, and even more afraid to stay in, fearing that someone would try to enter the property again.
For your own safety, do not book with this company....

There are a few things that I should mention about Amores Perros for those who have not heard of it. The first is that it is subtitled, as it is a Mexican film and thus filmed in Spanish so for those unwilling to consider watching a foreign film read no more
