Holiday information

 

A walking holiday on the Amalfi Coast

South of Naples and the conical mass of Vesuvius, the rugged promontory of the Amalfi Coast – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – fuses an astonishing, mountainous landscape with picturesque villages whose construction, clinging to steep hillsides, appears to defy logic. The sparkling waters below are ever-present, the views breathtaking at every step.
Our route here is a thrilling discovery of this spectacular coastal region, with dramatic trails into the Lattari Mountains that form the promontory’s spine. There can be no better way to explore here than on foot, following mule paths and stone stairways that have linked the villages since ancient times. Despite the inevitable ups and downs (sometimes on stone steps), the routes delight the senses in every way – you walk amid lemons, olives and vineyards with the murmur of the waves below – and you will love the local fish and seafood.

  • Arrival in Corpo di Cava 
    Night 1: at Hotel Scapolatiello (the first of two nights here).
    As your first night’s accommodation is on the day of travel, Day 1 is your first day of walking.
  • Circular walk from Corpo di Cava: 7km, 3hrs; ascent / descent 435m; longer option: 14km, 7hrs; ascent / descent 1335m
    We suggest a gentle introductory circuit which starts from the village’s impressive Benedictine monastery, founded in the 11th century and later restored in Baroque style. The route leads through chestnut woods and crosses streams to rise to an ancient chapel from where there are fine views of the coast. You return to Corpo di Cava via another chapel which again boasts wonderful coastal panoramas.

    If you are feeling energetic, you could continue up from the ancient chapel to cross the eastern part of the Lattari Mountains, all the way to the cliff-edge Avvocata Monastery, from where you are rewarded with superior views that include Mount Vesuvius to the north and a far-reaching panorama along the peninsula.

    Alternatively, for a day of sightseeing, you could take the train to Pompeii, a 30-minute ride away (pay locally).
    Visit fascinating Pompeii
    Around Corpo di Cava: 7km
  • Corpo di Cava to Ravello: 8km, 4hrs; ascent 615m / descent 260m
    The day starts with a transfer to the coastal town of Maiori. From here, you ascend hundreds of ancient stone steps past fragrant lemon groves and through woods of pines and chestnuts to the late 11th-century Convent of San Nicola, which perches on a hill 486 metres above the sea, the highest point of the walk. You then descend through woodland to Ravello, passing occasional olive groves and vineyards. For your two nights in Ravello, you stay at the family-run Hotel Bonadies, which enjoys excellent views over the coast.
    The steps up from Maiori on the route from Corpo di Cava to Ravello
    Corpo di Cava to Ravello: 8km
  • Choice of routes from Ravello: 8km or 9km
    Both of today's options follow an ancient route to cross the Valle del Dragone and reach Torre dello Ziro, one of Amalfi's oldest watchtowers. From here you have a choice of onward routes.

    Pontone & Scala: 8km, 3.5hrs; ascent / descent 575m
    From the watchtower, continue by ascending through the tiny settlements of Pontone and Minuto, under which are pretty terraces of lemons and vines, before returning to Ravello via the quiet neighbouring village of Scala.

    Pontone, Valle delle Ferriere & Amalfi: 9km, 4hrs; ascent 425m / descent 735m
    Alternatively, take the lower path through the Valle delle Ferriere before descending to the coast at Amalfi, from where you can catch a bus back to Ravello.

    Whichever route you follow, be sure to leave plenty of time to explore exclusive Ravello and appreciate the impressive views – the best in the region – of the Amalfi Coast. Some of the most breathtaking and far-reaching vistas are enjoyed by the formal gardens of the Palazzo Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo (pay entrance fees locally). The cathedral is also worth a visit as it houses some fine works of art. Ravello has a thriving concert society, and there are many musical recitals throughout the summer (pay locally).
    Pontone and Scala: 8km
    Pontone, Valle delle Ferriere and Amalfi: 9km
  • Choice of routes from Ravello to Bomerano: 13km or 13.5km
    From Ravello you walk past isolated farms and along a panoramic path to enter the Valle delle Ferriere nature reserve, a lush valley in which salamanders, red woodpeckers, giant ferns and the insect-eating Pinguicola hirtiflora can be found. The path contours the Lattari Mountains, affording splendid views. On the other side of the valley, you can choose one of two options:

    Ravello to Amalfi then bus: 13km, 5.5hrs; ascent 530m / descent 865m
    This option descends first to the hillside village of Pogerola, and then takes you down a stepped pathway to reach historic Amalfi, which you have time to explore before catching the bus (45mins; pay locally) to Bomerano.

    Ravello to Agerola Plain then transfer: 13.5km, 6hrs; ascent 825m / descent 550m
    This more challenging route ascends directly to the Agerola Plain and the small village of San Lazzaro, from where your host will collect you.

    In Bomerano you stay at the Hotel Due Torri for one night.
    The Valle delle Ferriere nature reserve on the route from Ravello to Bomerano
    Ravello to Amalfi: 13km
    Ravello to Agerola Plain: 13.5km
  • Bomerano to Positano: 10km, 4hrs; ascent 345m /descent 965m
    This is a spectacular walk, possibly rewarding you with a sighting of a peregrine falcon in addition to the breathtaking views which give you the impression of being on top of the world. The route contours the mountains and takes you along the very popular 'Path of the Gods' high above the sea, the views often stretching as far as the island of Capri. You then descend along hundreds of stone steps to reach the elegant resort of Positano, where you stay a short, seafront stroll from the centre at the very friendly Hotel Pupetto in tranquil Fornillo Bay. (You can opt to take a bus for the last leg to avoid the descent on the steps. Pay locally.)
    The Path of the Gods route from Bomerano to Positano
    Bomerano to Positano: 10km
  • Circular walk from Positano: 6.5km, 3.5hrs; ascent / descent 640m
    We recommend a thrilling route that penetrates the wild rugged mountainside behind Positano, some of the steepest and most exhilarating of the whole coastline. You ascend via an ancient, well-preserved mule-track which offers magnificent bird's-eye views over Positano. At its top, you reach the church of Santa Maria Castello, set beneath some of the highest peaks of the Monte Lattari range, and which also overlooks the Bay of Naples. There is a rustic bar-restaurant nearby for a well deserved lunch, before you descend via forest-clad slopes back to Positano.

    Alternatively, you could spend the exploring Positano’s tiers of houses linked by narrow alleyways and stairways lined with boutiques. You could also take a boat trip from Positano along the coast (pay locally) for a day of leisurely sightseeing.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this walking trip, fully met my expectations. The walks chosen were varied and very lovely. Hotels in great locations, good service and welcome at them all and food was good. Transfer of bags all went well and the transfers were great.

    The Hotel Scapolatielo was absolutely lovely - lots of quiet terraces and garden space, beautiful pool with fabulous mountain views. A unique and rather grand hotel. A wonderful way to start the holiday. The hotel in Ravello was also very nice. The Hotel in Positano (Buco di Bacca) was wonderful, but obviously travellers would need to pay for the upgrade!

  • Mr M Vincenti

    Yet another fantastically organised holiday by this excellent travel firm. The Amalfi Coast is truly an inspirational place to visit and the term 'Pathway of the Gods' could be used for almost every walk. The walking was challenging and highly rewarding (a good Grade 2), the views are magnificent everywhere, whether walking high above the coast and looking down on the beautiful coastline villages and boats, or walking into the stunningly beautiful and quiet Valle delle Ferriere Nature Reserve. As ever, the hotels were magnificent, local food lovely and all were ideally placed to explore the local areas. They were also staffed with wonderful people who want us to be there. Overall a lovely holiday that will stay with us for a very long time - thank you very much for arranging everything so well. You know that we will be back for more!

    As always a beautifully planned holiday which allowed us to absorb the atmosohere of the Amalfi coast. We had plenty of time to plan our own activities and the walks you suggested were a real highlight. Positano was very busy but our hotel provided us with an oasis of calm and the meals eaten on the terrace, especially breakfasts, were a real highlight. From this hotel we enjoyed early morning swims when the beach was empty (well almost). In Ravello we decide to walk to Minori. This was delightful when we got there and were able to make use of a fairly cheap beach club. However it was a walk of about 1200 steps down to the beach and, of course, 1200 back!

    Enjoyed the walking very much despite it being unseasonably hot. Did the Sentiero del Fortini but would like to warn others that there is a long wait for buses at Anacapri back to the port so leave plenty of time. Enjoyed the restaurant Da Gigino at Sorrento- and the Path of the Gods and Sentiero del Fortini were highlights of our trip. Also enjoyed our visits to Pompei and Herculaneum.

    One of the quotes we saw from a literary giant said that no words could describe how beautiful the Amalfi Coast is. If he couldn't find the words, I won't even try as I could never do it justice.

    A personal highlight was the town of Ravello, a perfect accompaniment to the walking. Well worth an extra night as we spent the whole day enjoying the beautiful villas and gardens, imagining ourselves part of the Bloomsbury Group.

    It was an absolutely fantastic holiday, surpassed our expectations. The walking was sublime and the detailed instructions were excellent. All the hotels were lovely. All the transport was clean and prompt. We would definitely book with Inntravel again. Would recommend the new archaeological museum in Positano as worth a visit. Marpositano. Villa Cimbrone in Ravello and Villa Lysis in Capri both stunning.

  • PAJL

    Highlights:

    The staggering dramatic scenery. The genuine welcome of hotel and most restaurant or cafe staff. Be prepared for many, many steps whilst walking. 

    Restaurants:  Ravello, Mimi Bar/Pizzeria was brilliant. Booking advisable. Sorrento, La Lantera was disappointing. Very average food and on the expensive side. La Cazzarola, recommended by the Hotel Regina receptionist was very good and not expensive. Many restaurants in the centre of Sorrento have "whippers in", to me always a sign of indifferent catering. 
    Picnic supplies, Corpo di Cava. There is a grocers immediately down the hill from the Scapolatiello run by an American. Chatty and willing to let one sample the cheese etc. before making up sandwiches. Ravello, Soon after leaving the hotels on the day 4 route there is a grocers on the left (Via Lacco?). Good for picnic and be prepared for decisions on type of bread, cheese, salad and garnish.

    The views along the coast were magnificent and well worth the sometimes arduous steps up and down.

    I loved every hike, view and experience. The weather was perfection. We were fortunate to meet a lovely couple the first evening of our week, same itinerary, and thereafter ended up meeting up with them every day along the way. I have no hesitation recommending the Inntravel experience.

    The holiday was fantastic. Inntravel bespoked the holiday to suit my group's time restrictions which was great. The transfers were particularly good. The transport was very comfortable and the drivers were very friendly and informative. Inntravel were flexible when we wanted to change our plans slightly and we appreciated being able to communicate with them even at the weekend. We were happy with all the hotels. Hotel Polpetto had a beautiful location in Positano, with its own beach and our room and balconies and views were great. However the food at dinner was unfortunatley unsatisfactory. The menu looked lovely but the different dishes we had were very bland although breakfast was better. It should also maybe just be noted that one of the locations where the taxis pick from this hotel was very difficult to get to, a very steep climb up many steps.

    Another wonderful holiday from Inntravel, even more special as relished going abroad after Covid. Going early in the season we found to be very peaceful and there was no need to book anywhere to eat. There was an unexpected rockfall which shut a road for about a week and we were unable to take a bus at the end of one of our walks to our next hotel. A quick phone call to Inntravel and all was sorted in less then half an hour, very impressive and hugely reassuring. The walks were lovely, our favourite was Valle delle Ferriere, spectacular!

    Every day was a new highlight.  This route  has so many breathtaking views.

    The gardens of the Hotel Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone are spectacular.

    We particularly enjoyed a lunch stop at the Restaurante Santa Croce, Nocelle.

    We had a wonderful holiday, again planned and executed so well by Inntravel with some lovely hotels in great locations and excellent tips for restuarants. The walks were generally easy to follow too and lead to wonderful viewing points. Favourite hotels were the more local / remote ones and the food in Hotel Due Torri in Bomerano was a real treat (this was a less touristy hotel maybe) with wonderful wine by the carafe in what felt like a very authentic and local environment. Overall a very successful holiday!

    Both restaurants recommended by you in Positano v good. Da Vincenzo lovely for night and Lo Guarracino excellent for lunch. Need to reserve all restaurants to avoid disappointment all v busy even in

    in Oct. Food excellent. Wine can be expensive in restaurants more so than at home - cheapest bottle usually about 30 euro

    Hard to pick any specific highlights as it was all good. We loved Ravello (who doesn't?), and the location of the hotel was excellent. All the hotels were good but the welcome and food at the Hotel Due Torri were exceptional. Well worth doing the optional final day walk at Positano which we found very enjoyable. Overall a great holiday and a very positive experience all round.

    If going to Pompeii from Corpo di Cava, hiring a car is worth it, saving easily an hour or more each way. Would recommend a tour guide for Pompeii. A visit and tour of the Naples Archeological Museum in advance is very helpful as that is where virtually all the artifacts of Pompeii reside, providing deep insight into how Pompeii citizens lived, then on the visit one sees where they did live.

    Yelp is helpful to find great places to eat. We were lucky as there were so few tourists. No restaurant reservations needed. Near our hotel in Rome we recommend Arlu next door to the hotel ... carbonara one of the best. Excellent salad and dessert. Also our number one favorite near the hotel in Rome was Sorpasso .. we ate there two nights. Fresh ingredients, fresh pasta, mostly Italians there, the menu is only in Italian, very few tourists, reservation needed unless one eats early (before 6). Sorrento ... Resturante Fuoro. Lemon pasta, unique and lemon is a subtle flavor .. fantastic, buffalo and tomatoes, truffle pasta and lemon cake to finish. For lunch, the best ... Sami, and to go anywhere to take on a hike ... A' Marenna.

    The Amalfi Coast was the perfect walking holiday for us, mother (70) and daughter (41)! A great walk every day and also time to explore the pretty towns of Amalfi! Great hotels with character!

    We had originally planned to go to the Greek islands, but that tour was canceled a month before our departure, so we did some quick recalculating and took this trip as our Plan B, and we were happy we did! This was a wonderful holiday to an incredible location! Possibly due to Covid, we saw very few tourists most of the trip, which was delightful! Cruises are up and running, so Amalfi was crowded near the port. The hotels and included meals were excellent in all regards, with incredible selections available. As we were two women traveling together, but with separate rooms, we had charming rooms next to each other, some with our own shared sitting area! The Italians take the wearing of masks and vaccines VERY seriously. We even had our credentials checked by military police in a Naples train station, as well as any entry to an indoor shop or restaurant. The walks were scenic, but come prepared for steps! One day our tracker said we climbed 180 sets of stairs in 5+ hours! And that did not include downhill steps! Directions were good, although we were challenged a time or two not to miss a turn. The Path of the Gods walk was crowded with tour groups, but not as challenging as we had heard.

    The highlight was undoubtedly the Path of the Gods - the scenery was stunning.  The walks were suitable for us, but there were a lot of steps! (I mean A LOT).

  • Kate

    This was an absolutely incredible holiday in every possible way and the Inntravel service throughout could not have been bettered. The walking was varied, challenging and exciting, with stunning views across steep hillsides and lemon groves and rocky clifftop paths with the best views we have ever experienced in Italy or anywhere else. Every day provided completely different scenery and types of walk and ended in beautiful towns and wonderful hotels. We loved starting out in quiet Cava di Tirreni, in a hotel with staggering grounds and phenomenal food. Ravello was also a major highlight - stunning hilltop towns with beautiful gardens, pretty square and brilliant bars and restaurants. We would highly recommend the walk around Positano on day six which took us out of the very touristy part of Positano into the quiet and pretty upper parts of the town, which also had several fun bars and restaurants. Da Vincenzo was an excellent place to eat, set on a buzzy lane with outside tables and brilliant food. We are longing to go back and very grateful to Inntravel for such excellent service during a very difficult period including Covid-19 and many forest fires.

    Perfect time of year for walking here. All the hotels were very good in particular Villa Maria and Baco. We ended up getting a ride with the taxi driver from Bomerano who was so friendly and dropped us in Nocelle to walk.

    We had an amazing holiday, which exceeded everyone's hopes and expectations in every way. I knew the two hotels from a previous Inntravel holiday and they were as lovely as I had remembered. The suggested restaurants were all excellent, and reasonably priced. We were blessed with fantastic weather, which was a bonus. All my friends commented on the excellent Inntravel notes, which they had read thoroughly and I know that several have been looking at the website to search for holidays to take with their partners next year! Thank you for all the effort that you made to put together a tailor-made holiday for us - it was perfect.

    Wonderful first holiday with Inntravel. The most impressive feature for me was the very clear instructions regarding the planned walks. I will definitely book another holiday with this company in the future.

    My abiding memories of this walk are the number of steps we had to climb but the wonderful views made it all worthwhile!  On our walks in the woodland and mountains high above the coast, the only other people we met were a goatherd and his flock of goats and a mule driver and his team of mules - a way of life unchanged for centuries and an amazing experience.

    We loved Ravello especially and it was lovely to be staying there in the centre. We enjoyed walking and seeing the hill top town from every aspect!

    We saw so many weddings there, and there was even dancing in the square for one of them.

    The Path of the Gods was amazing and we loved the views we had from all the walks.

  • If your holiday plans go awry because of Coronavirus, rest assured that we’ll do right by you. Since the start of the pandemic, our flexible booking policy and prompt issuing of refunds to customers who prefer not to defer their holiday have earned us high praise in the national press.
  • We sincerely hope that your holiday experience will be as enjoyable as it would have been before the pandemic – walking holidays are ideal in these times of social distancing, and we’re not operating holidays if the key highlights can no longer be delivered – but, naturally, there will be some changes to ensure your and other people’s safety, not least proving your vaccination status or taking a test in order to travel.

  • We’ll send you route notes and maps 2-3 weeks before your holiday. The route notes not only contain directions to get from A to B, but also include practical information about places of interest and eateries along each route, plus cultural information about the area. If/when you are moving between hotels, you leave your luggage in reception as you leave, and it will be transferred ahead to your next accommodation, meaning that all you need to take with you are a camera, sun cream, drinks, food and waterproofs.

  • Yes, prior to going on holiday you will be able to download GPX tracks so that you can follow your route on your smartphone or dedicated GPS device if you wish. It’s entirely up to you whether or not you use them – our detailed, step-by-step route notes remain the principal means of guiding you from A to B – but we provide them as a secondary means of navigation for additional reassurance when walking.
  • We can book a wide range of routes from the UK with a variety of airlines (but not, currently, with Ryanair). As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. The fee for this service is £35 per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). More information on flights >
  • Absolutely! We are experts in tailored rail travel. Making use of sleeper trains or stopovers in cities along the route, we can get you from London to virtually anywhere in mainland Europe. We can even make arrangements to Mallorca, Sicily and Norway with a combination of ferries and rail. Please contact Abi and Lizzie to discuss your plans.
  • We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted to book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis.

  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can cost tens of thousands of pounds.

    You don’t have to take out a policy with our recommended provider (if you live outside the UK you’ll definitely need to make your own arrangements, as the policy is only for UK residents), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    We'll ask you for the details of your policy (insurer, policy number and medical emergency phone number) so that we can help out if the worst happens while you are on holiday. It's up to you, though, to check that your policy covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs; we don't check alternative policies.
  • The principal official language is Italian, though some regions have a second official language, such as South Tyrol, where German is widely spoken. The currency is the Euro. Italian time is GMT/UTC + 1. It uses Daylight Saving Time, so in summer is on BST + 1.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Italy, but not a visa. If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
