SORRENTO & AMALFI COAST
Amalfi coast & Capri
AMALFI COAST: BREATHTAKING VIEW AND LEMON SCENTS
'The most beautiful coastline in the world”, a peninsula whose mountains rising
to 3.000 ft, seems to connect the blue sky to the blue-greenwater of the sea
below the road. Only mother-nature could create such a wonderful place where
olive and lemon groves, pines and cypressessurround the small picturesque
villages built on the steep slopes. Amalfi, the largest town along the coast, has
a magnificent Piazza delDuomo, where open-air cafes and ice-cream parlours
look up a long staircase to the Arab-Norman campanile and polychrome
mosaic facadeof the Romanesque Cathedral dedicated to St. Andrewis. Amalfi
took from the Byzantines and the Muslims a cultural influence that can beseen
in the art. The sun still shines down on the coastline, the sea breezes still brush
the aromatic scrub, or marquis, and in the little cloister,the palm trees still cast
their shade over the Paradiso". Positano, the most exclusive tiny town is
famous for its cute shops with Positano styleclothes. Heaped up in a pyramid
high above the water has inspired a thousand picture postcards, and helped to
make it a moneyed resort thatruns a close second to Capri in the celebrity
stakes. Ravello: The best views of the coast is from this peaceful village: here
The Ravello Festival take place from end of June to September with many
exclusive concerts in wonderful scenary during different week-ends

POMPEI, THE WISPER OF THE PAST
Pompei is known throughout the world for its tragic destruction and for its miraculous discovery. This is a unique
memento of the topography of a city of the ancient world; here life came to sudden halt on 24 August A.D. 79. Out of a
total population of 20.000, it's thought that 2.000 actually perished, asphyxiated by the toxic fumes of the volcanic
debris, their homes buried under several metres of volcanic ash and pumice. In effect, the eruption froze the way of
life in Pompei as it stood at the time, and the excavations here have probably yielded more information about the life
of Roman citizens during the imperial era than any other site in the world.

warm hospitality of Chef Gennaro Esposito remains
unmatched. The recent renovations have not affected
