Neapolitan Riviera Holidays - Italy

European cafe society at its cosmopolitan best. Set against a dizzying backdrop of plunging peaks and sculpted by volcanoes, Italy and her islands fuse stark beauty with ancient civilisations and the heady scents of citrus.

Situated on a stretch of coastline of unrivalled beauty, the Neapolitan Riviera lies in a sheltered spot, surrounded by lush hills. Overlooking the sea, its descending terraces are lined with lemon groves, orange trees, grapevines and olive trees. Distinguished guests of the past, such as Byron, Keats, Dickens, Wagner and Ibsen, came in search of sun and inspiration and visitors today do the same. The irresistible islands of Capri and Ischia shimmer in the sparkling blue waters and few can resist the charms of the Amalfi and Positano with their jet-set clientele. Fabulous food, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee and a chic yet relaxed atmosphere make this cosmopolitan paradise unforgettable.
