Out and about nearby
Marina di Praia is Praiano’s characteristic pebble beach set between dramatic rock ridges, offering traditional fishing boats, bathing establishments, excellent seafood restaurants, and the starting point for boat trips along the coast. A romantic coastal pathway leads from the beach to the mediaeval Torre a Mare, a Saracen watchtower, winding through the atmospheric nightclub Africana carved into the cliffside. La Gavitella Beach, reached by descending 413 steps from Piazza San Gennaro, where the hotel is situated, is the only beach on the entire Amalfi coastline to enjoy sunshine from morning until sunset, with spectacular views across to Positano and Capri. The picturesque village of Positano sits just 6km along the coast, with its cascade of pastel-coloured houses, designer boutiques, and waterfront restaurant. Amalfi, 7km to the east, features the magnificent 9th century Cathedral of Sant’Andrea, the historic Arsenale museum, and the Valle dei Mulini with its ancient paper mills. The hillside town of Pavello, perched 350 metres above the coast, offers Villa Rufolo’s terraced gardens, Villa Cimbrone’s famous Terrace of Infinity, and regular classical music concerts in the summer. The legendary Path of the Gods hiking trail follows ancient mule tracks high above the coastline with spectacular views across to Capri. Boat excursions allow exploration of the Emerald Grotto near Conca dei Marini, hidden sea caves, and the island of Capri with its Blue Grotto and elegant Piazzetta.

Luxury bespore hotel holidays to Hotel Tramonoto d'Oro, Praiano
Hotel Tramonto d’Oro is nestled in the heart of Praiano, against the iconic steep rocky cliffs of the Amalfi Coast. This four-star family-run hotel has welcomed guests for nearly 70 years, ever since siblings Donato and Carmelina Esposito opened the original Bar Tramonto d’Oro in 1952. Today, the hotel continues as a true family affair, lovingly managed by Teresa De Luca and her children, who ensure every guest receives warm, personal attention. The property spreads across four floors, housing 40 individually designed rooms, each decorated with authentic hand-painted Vietri ceramics. Most rooms feature private balconies or terraces offering spectacular views across the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Lia Galli islands, the colourful cascade of Positano’s houses, and on clear days, the dramatic Faraglioni rocks of Capri. The crowning glory is the twin heated rooftop infinity pools, where guests can float whilst drinking in panoramic views that stretch from Positano to Conca dei Marini, with the sparkling Mediterranean providing an endless blue backdrop. The rooftop terrace becomes particularly magical at sunset, when Praiano lives up to its reputation for the most romantic sunsets on the entire Amalfi Coast. The Rooftop Café Bar serves refreshing cocktails, expertly prepared Italian espresso, and light aperitifs. The clifftop spa offers a sanctuary of wellness, with Turkish bath, steam room, sauna, private treatments, and sunrise yoga sessions on the terrace. Dining at Hotel Tramonto d’Oro celebrates authentic Amalfi cuisine. The restaurant, La Cucina del Tramonto d’Oro, serves traditional Italian dishes, including mussels, monkfish ravioli, risotto, and salt-crusted fish, incorporating many local ingredients. The signature lemon dessert, made with famous sfuscato lemons, is an irresistible sweet finale. Guests can spend their days down on the Marina di Praia beach, where traditional fishing boats bob in the sheltered cove after bringing in the morning catch, or they can venture further afield, to beautiful Positano or eponymous Amalfi.

About Amalfi Coast
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to the Amalfi Coast is perfect for those looking for relaxation as well as sightseeing in coastal towns such as Amalfi, Positano, Ravello and Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast as well as the islands of Capri and Ischia. The Amalfi Coast is best known for its dramatic coastal scenery, deep gorges and violently-shaped rocks that plunge into a deep blue sea, tempered by the luxuriant vegetation that thrives in the favourable climate; lemons, oranges, olives, almonds, vines, camellias and bougainvillaea. Human habitation thrives in the tiny fishing villages in rocky coves and in the pink and white-washed flat-roofed or domed buildings that hug the cliffs in layers. The Amalfi Coast's history of trading throughout the Mediterranean still shows in the Moorish and Byzantine architectural styles; domes and arcades, wrought-iron balconies and colourful ceramic tiles which depict the region. The cuisine of the Amalfi Coast is light and simple, based on local fish and shellfish, lemons and oranges, mozzarella and fresh herbs. Whilst the climate of the Amalfi Coast is particularly appealing too, there are numerous excursion and sightseeing possibilities for your holiday including the islands of Procida, Capri and Ischia, the city of Naples, the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the romance of Ravello, the bustle of Sorrento and the charm of Positano.
Highlights of the Amalfi Coast
A drive along the Amalfi coast from Positano to Amalfi offers stunning and breath-taking scenery. Visit the Emerald Cave near Vettica Minore by boat. Enjoy the superb view of the coast from the 13th Century Gothic Villa Rufolo in Ravello (we offer garden tour holidays of the Amalfi Coast and Capri including a visit to Villa Rufolo). Spend a full day visiting the awe-inspiring site of Pompeii, visiting the remains of the villas containing both vibrant and delicate frescoes. Herculaneum is nearby and also worth visiting. The Greek site of Paestum has outstanding Doric temples. In the resort of Amalfi stroll along the Via Genova and the Via Capuano taking in the typical architecture of Campania with the flower-covered balconies, narrow alleyways leading to fountain-filled little squares. Take the chairlift on Capri to Monte Solaro or walk to the Migliara Belvedere for a view of the lighthouse. On Ischia visit the beaches of Citara and Maronti and enjoy a morning's walk to Monte Epomeo for panoramic views of the coast. Well worth visiting is the often-forgotten island of Procida between Naples and Ischia, with its vines and fishing, flat roofed white houses and atmosphere most characteristic of the region in bygone days. Visit Vietri for ceramics as well as stalls of lemons, garlic and peppers.
Cultural highlights of the Amalfi Coast
The House of the Vettii at Pompeii, the baroque Palazzo Reale at Caserta, Villa Jovis in Capri, the Doric temples of Paestum, Michelozzo`s tomb of Cardinal Rinaldo Brancaccio in the 14th Century church of Sant`Angelo, and in Naples: `Modesty` by Antonio Corradini in the Cappella Sansevero, the Gothic church of San Lorenzo Maggiore and the Majolica tiles in the cloisters of the 14th Century Santa Chiara.
Festivals on the Amalfi Coast
The Ravello music festival June to July, the festival of San Costanzo on 14 May on Capri, the festival of Sant`Antonio in Anacapri on 13 June, the festival of Madonna della Liberta in Marina Grande in September, Lo Sbarco dei Saraceni in Positano on the second Sunday in August.
Gastronomy of the Amalfi Coast
Neapolitan cuisine is now famous the world over for its use of tomatoes, pizza, mozzarella cheese, dried pasta and lemons. Local specialities include Mozzarella in Carrozza, Panzanella alla napoletana, Pasta alla sorrentina (with scamorza cheese and tomatoes), Sartu (an elaborate rice pie stuffed with meats, sausages, mushrooms etc), Timballo di Maccheroni (also elaborate with maccheroni baked in a pie and a sauce of chicken livers, mushrooms and black truffles), Carciofi ripieni alla napoletana (baked stuffed artichokes), Coviglie (a mousse-like dessert), Sproccolati (sun-dried figs on sticks) and Sfogliatelle (breakfast pastries). The region produces a number of excellent red and white wines. The most famous white is called Lacrimi Christi, from vines grown on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Taurasi from Avellino is a full-bodied red. Capri, Ischia and Sorrento all produce their own local wines.
