Country House in The Amalfi Coast with Typical Cuisine

Choosing a farmhouse on the Amalfi Coast means experiencing one of the most scenic coastlines in Italy: colourful villages perched above the sea, terraced lemon groves, panoramic roads and walking trails suspended between sky and water. Farmhouses offer warm family hospitality, typical products from Campania and a strategic location to alternate days at the beach, hikes, boat trips and visits to the most famous villages along the Coast.

Recommended activities

• Explore Amalfi, Positano, Ravello and other villages

  Wander through the narrow streets of Amalfi and visit its Cathedral, discover the stairways and boutiques of Positano, head up to Ravello to see Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone with their terraces over the sea, and don’t miss Vietri sul Mare with its ceramics and small villages such as Atrani, Minori and Maiori.

• Panoramic hiking between sea and mountains

  The Path of the Gods above Positano, the trails around Tramonti and Agerola, the walks to the Fjord of Furore and the Valle delle Ferriere offer incredible views over the Amalfi Coast. Perfect if you love hiking, photography and Mediterranean nature among lemon terraces and vineyards.

• Boat trips, beaches and small coves

  Plan a boat tour to admire the coastline from the sea, stopping in small bays and sea caves such as the Grotta dello Smeraldo. Alternate equipped beaches with quieter coves, then return to your farmhouse up in the hills to enjoy the evening breeze and a traditional dinner from Campania.

• Flavours of lemons, blue fish and Campanian wines

  Taste the famous anchovy “colatura” from Cetara, mozzarella and cheeses from the inland areas, lemon desserts such as “delizia al limone”, fresh pasta with seafood and lemon liqueurs. Many farmhouses serve zero-km cuisine and tastings of wines such as Costa d’Amalfi DOC, Fiano, Greco di Tufo and other white wines from Campania that pair perfectly with fish dishes.

Practical tips

• Best time to go: spring and early autumn are ideal to enjoy the Amalfi Coast with mild weather and less traffic; summer is perfect for the sea but you should book well in advance and expect busier roads; winter suits travellers looking for quiet villages, walks and views without crowds.
• How to get around: the coastal roads are spectacular but often busy and with limited parking. Consider combining car, local buses, ferries and hydrofoils between villages. Staying in a farmhouse in the inland hills often means more space, easier parking and wide panoramic views over the sea.
• Who it’s ideal for: the Amalfi Coast is perfect for couples in search of romantic scenery, families who want to combine sea and nature, food lovers and hiking enthusiasts, with plenty of options for day trips and a peaceful return to the farmhouse in the evening.

Book a farmhouse on the Amalfi Coast and plan a holiday among cliff-top villages, lemon groves, panoramic trails and authentic flavours from Campanian cuisine, with the convenience of being within easy reach of Salerno, Naples and the Sorrento Peninsula.
