Amalfi
We have not been to Atrani since the flood of 2009 which took the life of a young girl and causes considerable destruction in the small plaza just below the clock.
Hopefully things will have somewhat returned to the previous condition. I always enjoyed by morning walk to Atrani. The town is very peaceful, a maze of small walkways with stairs everywhere you look.
The Amalfi Coast is rugged and stunning.
The Duomo is one of the outstanding sights in Amalfi.
The Amalfi Coast is beautiful. Here, just down the coast from our hotel is the Villa Scarpariello which was built in 1533. It was home fo the Princes of Marsicanovo, the Barons of Campagna and King Vitorio Emanuele III and Queen Elena. Now it has apartments for rent. and our friends the Grants stayed here in 2010.
The cloisters at the Duomo in Amalfi are worth a visit.
We will spend almost a week in Amalfi. Even though we have been here many times, it is every so relaxing. The walks to Amalfi for a gelto. Taking a boat along the coast to one of the towns is all very pleasant.
Napoli
We have also make arrangements to be in Napoli for a few nights. This will give Glenn the opportunity to hopefully visit the Delta pen company which is located in Naples. Arrangements to confirm a visit to the factory are currently being made and we hope all will work out.
In Napoli we will be staying at La Ciliegina Hotel. It is located in the heart of Naples, not far from the Umberti I Gallery and the San Carlo Theatre.
The building was recently renovated. A relatively small hotel, with 14 rooms, it is a size of hotel we like.
The rooms are spacious, each 25 square meters
The roof-top terrace of the hotel looks great. It will be very relaxing to come back after a full day of walking Naples to relax with some Prosecco and look down on the city.
