South of Naples and Vesuvius stretches the spectacular Amalfi Coast. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its awe-inspiring beauty, for centuries it has drawn myriad travellers, writers, artists and musicians who come to contemplate the breathtaking views. Of the numerous brightly painted, picturesque villages, the jewel in the crown is undoubtedly Ravello, which perches high above the sea, with far-reaching vistas along the coast.
This is about much more than just escaping to sunnier climes for New Year: you have the chance to prepare four-course meals in the hotel kitchen, visit a local cheesemaker's for a tasting, and join guided walks to nearby towns and churches. Why not persuade your friends to come and make your own small group?
We can think of few better places to see in the New Year in style, and the inspirational views cannot fail to fill you with enthusiasm for the year ahead. You stay in the suitably elegant Villa Maria, whose large terrace overlooks the sea. Here, you are invited to get behind the scenes of a real hotel kitchen, joining a trained chef and other guests for three cookery sessions. A tasting at a local cheesemaker’s is also included, but there is also plenty of time to explore the coastline too, either on guided walks or independently.
