The Amalfi Coast in southern Italy is considered one of the most beautiful and cultural areas of the country, as demonstrated by its UNESCO World Heritage site status as a cultural landscape.
Staying in one of the many wonderful Amalfi Coast villas puts visitors in the perfect position to enjoy this region and experience all it has to offer. The independence this kind of accommodation affords is an invitation to explore, whether the towns that hug the coastline, the famous ruins of Pompeii, overlooked by the volcano Vesuvius, and the Stunning Island of Capri.
Located in the Mediterranean Sea, the stunning Island of Capri is actually situated in the Tyrrhenian Sea, just south of Naples. According to ancient history and geological evidence, Capri was once part of the mainland and has been inhabited since the earliest times. The island is a perfect place for a vacation in Italy, whether you are looking to stay right on the water or up on the picturesque higher parts of the island. The island is famous, mostly for its rugged terrain with a number of upscale hotels and renowned global fashion design centers. On the same island are various natural sites of marvel, from the Blue Grotto, Anacapri, to the botanical gardens of Augustus.
Separated into Capri and Anacapri, the amazingly blue waters that surround the island are warm and inviting. While you are on the island, be sure to take a trip around the coastline and into the Blue Grotto, which is one of the iconic symbols of Capri. When you head into the Blue Grotto by boat, it is pitch black, but when the boat turns around inside the cave, the sunlight reflecting off the white limestone floors shines upwards in a brilliant blue hue. You should also make sure you indulge in the fabulous seafood the island is so well known for - after all, you're on holiday!
Over the past 20 years working with visitors as guide and planner of tours on Capri, the most common misconception is this: People believe that since Capri is a small island, it must be easy to move around and see everything in a short amount of time. I call this the Capri Visitor Myth.
