Traditional small town with Mediterranean charm

This picturesque small town at Amalfitana is located in a stunning scenery next to the Mediterranean coast. With its cosy boutiques,and its great ambience it’s amongst the most popular destinations within Campania. Built in the 16th century, it was carved out of the rocks and has grown with the years to a 4,000-soul-town. There are visitors from all over the world, but mostly from the surrounding countries, coming here to get a sense of the typical Italian lifestyle and the "Dolce far niente" – the sweet art of just enjoying life.
