The coast in the order that actually works — not a day-trip loop
Christine's Amalfi week: Le Sirenuse, a night on Capri so the island is not a cattle-boat, then Palazzo Avino and Villa Cimbrone at opening. The drive from Naples is the introduction; the hydrofoil is day three.
The rooms from this itinerary, in the order they were slept in.
Le Sirenuse
Positano
A room with the sea, not the street. Franco's Bar at dusk, not a second restaurant.
From $1,650 / night
JK Place Capri
Capri
Marina Grande side, so you are not climbing to Anacapri with luggage. The pool faces the right water.
From $1,400 / night
Palazzo Avino
Ravello
A former palazzo above the coast. Request a garden room; the view still finds you.
From $980 / night
Day 1
Positano, Italy
Land in the morning, private transfer along the coast, check in before the day-trip boats arrive.
