This really is a special spot without being overcrowded and commercial. You will find more peace here than you will in Amalfi town just 3 km away, but be near enough to visit by bus when you want. The beach below the hotel is very inviting and is a mix of sand, rocks and pebbles in an incredibly scenic setting.
The centre of town and the small beach below can be reached on foot via some stairs, and the trip down - and back up - is definitely worth the effort. The town is one of the most photographed on the Amalfi Coast, and it acts as a cover photo on almost all guidebooks for the area, and you can take a swim from the small beach. But it doesn't mean that it attracts many tourists - far from it. It has instead attracted scores of celebrities over the years, several of which still spend their summers right here. They include the Fiat-Agnelli Family, Emanuele Filiberto and princely family of Monaco, whose children have been baptized in the small local church.
