There's a reason the Amalfi Coast is a hotspot among holidaymakers. The fifty-kilometre long stretch of shimmering beaches and technicolour villages looks straight out of a fairytale, with a balmy climate and delicious cuisine to solidify its appeal. In this colourful apartment, you'll be right in the thick of it.

Located in a typical Italian building, the characterful home is of traditional style, with tiled flooring from the Vietri Ceramics School, while antique furniture and vintage artwork will transport you to the simpler times of this historical town. From your bedroom balconies, take in far-reaching views of neighbouring rooftops, rugged cliff faces and the landmark Duomo – you can reach this medieval cathedral in just three minutes on foot.

While you're out and about, wind your way towards the Ruga Nova Mercatorum, a narrow street is lined with top-tier pizzerias and eclectic boutiques. Get your eating and shopping fix before heading down to the shoreline, where you can while away the remainder of the day on the beach or take a ferry to nearby Sorrento.
