Prominent American periodical Huffington Post has recently published an online feature offering travellers renting villas in Amalfi advice ranging from the best places to see to essential items to pack and even the best souvenirs to buy.

A valuable resource

The main appeal of the list in question to guests planning to book a stay in one of the many short-let villas in Amalfi will be its thoroughness. Aside from offering advice on a diverse array of travel-related topics, the piece makes sure to go in-depth, combining the most popular sightseeing attractions in the area with lesser-known, but no less attractive spots, offering something for every type of traveller.

In terms of must-see attractions in the Amalfi area, the Huffington Post’s list singles out the gardens at Villa Cimbrone, in Ravello, which are known for their beauty; Villa San Michele, in Capri, which perfectly combines architectural, artistic, and aesthetic appeal with some stunning views; and of course the area’s main sightseeing spot, St Andrew’s Cathedral, which entices visitors with its mixed architectural styles, haunting crypts and imposing staircase.

For travellers who dislike the typical tourism crowds and activities, however, the main appeal of this feature will be the section in which the writer details a few lesser-known, mostly natural spots around Amalfi. The nature walk down to Ieranto Bay, past abandoned quarries and watchtowers and along olive groves, is included in this section, as are the natural coves at Punta Campanella and the paddleboat rides in Nerano — all alternatives to the usually crowded Amalfi Coast, which will delight more naturally-inclined renters of villas in Amalfi.

Aside from offering suggestions on places to go, this thorough feature also advises on the best souvenirs to seek out (olive oil and flip-flops) and on which items to prioritise when packing for the trip – a list which ranges from sunglasses to scarves, jewellery, light clothing and a beach-read novel.

The Huffington Post’s mini-guide to travelling Amalfi is complete with a couple of suggestions of places in which to have a traditional, yet still high-standard meal.
