Amalfi Coast, Italy
Along the famed Amalfi Coast, where a string of sun-drenched villages cling to the cliffs above the Mediterranean Sea, lies a collection of Inspirato villas. In Ravello, Palazzo Avino charms with its sunny pink façade and luxe interior. Formerly a 12th-century palace for a noble family, this five-star boutique hotel boasts a Michelin-starred restaurant and panoramic views over the fishing villages below.
La Dolce Vita along Italy’s Southern Coast
Nestled along the southern shore of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, the Amalfi Coast is a picturesque stretch of colorful towns built into the cliffside above the Mediterranean Sea. With more than 28 miles of dramatic and winding coastline, pebbled beaches, and narrow stairways winding up to quaint towns, it’s easy to see why the region has been attracting travelers from all over the world for centuries. John Steinbeck once described it as “a dream place that isn’t quite real.” The three most popular towns along the Amalfi Coast are Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello; each offering a unique mix of historical attractions, spectacular views, and la dolce vita.
