villa treville

a romantic jewel set on the cliffs of positano

A gorgeous upscale boutique hotel set on cliffs, this renovated home of Franco Zeffirelli, a famed Italian movie director, is a jewel in all senses of the word. Surrounded by lush gardens, bougainvillea and ancient tropical plants, this hideaway is a feast for the eyes. Villa Treville is for the romantic couple looking for a quiet beautiful treat, we promise it will not disappoint. If you are staying somewhere else in the area, try to get in for a drink or a meal, access is somewhat controlled to outside guests.

Belmond Hotel Caruso

cliff-top luxury

For a top-notch high-end luxury experience, check into this former 11th century palace, set on a cliff edge 1,000 ft above sea level. Enchanting gardens, stunning views, amenities and services galore, and a famous infinity pool, make this hotel a truly special destination.

Maria Grazia

Family-run since the 1910s, famous for its Spaghetti Zucchine

Perched on a classic Italian stone beach dotted with colorful umbrellas, this family run restaurant is simply the best. Roaming Stones always prefers local and simple rather than sophisticated and formal. Maria Grazia is exactly what we love, and has been one of our go-tos since the 1980s. Must order wine with peaches, all the variations of mozzarella, and the famous Spaghetti Zucchine. Accessible by land or sea.

Conca del sogno

Upscale in nerano

A little more polished than what Roaming Stones usually likes, we still recommend this gorgeous restaurant nestled in a tiny cove just outside the bay of Marina del Cantone. Accessible by land or sea. 

lo scoglio

terrace over the sea in nerano

If you’ve got a few days in this area, Lo Scoglio is another excellent choice for lunch or dinner. Its setting over the waters of the bay of Marina del Cantone is sensational. The food is exquisite.

-Must order the Spaghetti Zucchine, and Spaghetti Vongole.

-Accessible by land or sea.

Belmond Hotel Caruso Restaurant

set high on the cliffs of ravello

If you are passing through Ravello, have a meal at Hotel Caruso’s beautiful restaurant set on a cliff edge 1,000 ft above sea level, surrounded by enchanting gardens and stunning views.

Don Alfonso 1890

lunch or dinner near sorrento

This family owned charming restaurant is especially known for serving fresh produce grown on its own farm. The famous Amalfi lemons and tomatoes are the basis of many exquisite dishes found on the menu. We recommend visiting Don Alfonso’s farm, perched on the side of the mountain; for those who suffer vertigo the hairpin curves to get there may not be your cup of tea!

Lunch or Dinner

Path of the gods

A favorite hike on the Amalfi Coast, Sentiero degli Dei

Length:Around 4 hours

Level: 7/10 mostly, the 1000 steps are 10/10 

No doubt one of Roaming Stones’ favorite hikes is this one. The walk begins high up in the town of Agerola and gently runs downhill ending up in Nocelle or all the way to Positano if you can stand 1000s of steps down. We recommended you do this hike with a local guide, especially the first time, as hearing some history and local stories can add so much as you enjoy the most sensational views of the Amalfi coast and Capri.
