Luxury Villa Holiday Rentals in Campania/Amalfi Coast, Italy
The outstanding beauty of the Amalfi coast and the Campania region, most deserving of its UNESCO World Heritage status is a source of great pride and the locals work hard to preserve this fascinating region. With a backdrop of the Monte Latarri range, clothed in forests of sweet chestnut trees, the rocky coastline offers spectacular views of the Tyrennhian Sea. Small towns and villages built along the hillside, surrounded by lemon groves stretching all along the terraces, are a perfect manifestation of how hard the locals work to make their living from all the riches this area offers. Many of the towns have specialities and their feast days celebrate this abundance. The coastline, often rocky with naturally formed grottos within, also boasts sandy coves and beaches, some only accessible from the sea. Others, as in Maiori, provide a wonderful frontage to this small cathedral town, full of life and charm, with a promenade enjoyed for the evening passeggiata, an essential part of Italian life.
