The dramatic scenery of the Amalfi coast, with its lemon groves, almond trees and bougainvillea, is stunning. You'll find resorts for all tastes, from popular Sorrento – an ideal hub for boat trips to Capri and Ischia, and outings to Pompeii and Vesuvius – to super-chic Positano and the exquisite hilltop retreat of Ravello.

Italian Expressions says
Few places in the world can surpass the spectacular beauty, drama and allure of the Amalfi Coast. When you couple that with top notch hotels ranging from chic island classics to hilltop retreats and some of Italy’s best cuisine, it’s not surprising that this region of Italy is one of our most popular.
We’ve hand-picked just 18 of the best hotels along the coast and on its islands.
One of our favourites is Palazzo Sasso, a converted 12th century palace in Ravello which oozes understated elegance, boasts a two-star Michelin restaurant and has staggering views over the coastline.
With the charming streets of Sorrento on its doorstep, the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is a great choice. This 19th century villa is a peaceful retreat from the buzz of Sorrento and an ideal starting point to explore the island of Capri, Anacapri, Ischia and nearby Vesuvius and Pompeii.
On Capri, the Caesar Augustus is a Relais & Chateaux gem with just 55 rooms and spectacular terraces from which to soak up the views.
Positano is perhaps the most charming of the Amalfi resorts, not least as coaches are banned. We particularly love the ambiance of the Hotel Sirenuse and the family-run Hotel Poseidon.
Escapists should head for Ischia and the Mezzatorre Resort and Spa, a luxurious but low-key hotel built around a 16th century watchtower.
