Amalfi Coast

Comment by Donna Broberg on September 5, 2009 at 5:07pm

my husband and I are excited to be spending 3 weeks in Italy in October including a week on the Almalfi Coast. We want to go to Sorrento, Pompeii, and the Isle of Capri of course during this week, but would love to have suggestions from those of you who have been to this region. Esp. in regards to specific restaurants or other not-to-be-missed places to go and things to do. thanks.

We loved the Amalfi Coast. We stayed in the Jade apt. Granted there are really 54 steps to it but it is worth it! Just remember to pack light. We really enjoyed Ravello which is 7 miles up the mountain from Atrani. We recommend the restaurant Compa Cosimo. The owner Mama Annetta is wonderful. I know we all hate anchovies but the anchovies there are a whole nother world!
We loved the boat ride to the restaurant Theresa--ask Rosa for more information. Rosa(our hostess) is wonderful and she will be a wonderful source of information for you. Ride the small boat to Capri, not the ferry. I was not impressed with the ferries, no place to sit outside and enjoy the view.
We walked down the 2000 so stairs from Ravello to Atrai--great day!

Does anyone have news of how Atrani is recovering from the flood?

We are going to Amalfi in May (2010) and interested in any information from others who have been there. We have been on the southern coast of Italy twice before but not specifically in Amalfi. We will be with a group who paint and a few of us will be in ATrni, (Jade & Ruby). We will be in Rotunda. Any specific info about the rentals welcome as well.
