Hotel BelvedereAmalfi Coast
What to Do · Itinerary 1
Amalfi, Positano, Ravello and the wonders of Conca dei Marini, within easy reach of the hotel.
The Amalfi Coast is a succession of towns perched on the rock, each with its own character. From Hotel Belvedere, in Conca dei Marini, they are all easy to reach: here are the ones not to miss, with our tips for visiting them at their best.
A short walk from the hotel, it is a sea cave where sunlight, filtering through the water, turns the walls emerald green. Discovered in 1932 by the fisherman Luigi Buonocore, it holds ancient stalactites and an underwater nativity scene in Vietri ceramic.
The ancient Maritime Republic gives its name to the entire coast. Its heart is the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea with its grand staircase and the Cloister of Paradise; all around, alleys, workshops and the tradition of Amalfi handmade paper.
The coast's postcard: pastel-coloured houses cascading down to the sea, fashion boutiques and the large Marina beach. A maze of flower-lined steps that deserve to be wandered slowly.
Suspended above the gulf, it is the town of music and gardens. Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone offer flower-filled terraces overlooking the void, among the most famous views in Italy. In summer it hosts the renowned Ravello Festival.
A spectacular fjord set between two rock faces, with the famous bridge that crosses it and a small hidden beach. Once a fishing village, today it is one of the most photographed spots on the coast.
From Conca dei Marini you can reach every town on the coast and return each evening to your retreat by the sea.
