This popular walking holiday is based in two contrasting centres so you can enjoy the very best bits of this beautiful corner of southern Italy. It is exciting walking country with breathtaking scenery at every step.

Walkers will appreciate the network of wide and well-maintained mule paths criss-crossing the region, some of them centuries old dressed stone steps. The paths wander among lemon and olive groves, pines and oaks, valleys and ridges. They are lined with sweet-smelling herbs and bright with freesias, geraniums and honeysuckle. The tracks are never far from the sparkling blue sea and give spectacular views of the near-vertical towns below. We’ve worked it out so the walks generally start on higher ground and descend to the coast in time for an afternoon dip! Our guide is very enthusiastic about showing off his countryside, as up until now few walkers have passed this way. He’ll teach you all about the local flora and folklore and make sure that you taste the best of the region as well in the hand picked trattorie where you stop for lunch*.

Our *** Hotel Garden in Ravello perches above the famous Amalfi coast and affords stunning views from its dining terrace. Just a stone’s throw from the celebrated Villa Rufolo and the historic main square, all 10 rooms are air-conditioned with balcony and sea views. The Bellavista Francischiello in Massa Lubrense is a friendly *** family-run hotel right on the Amalfi Coast and with incredible views across to Capri. There is an outdoor pool, panoramic sun terrace and small spa. All rooms are air conditioned with balcony and sea view.
