The Coast

Between Sea & Sky

"All the radiance of April in Italy lay gathered at her feet.  The sun poured in on her.  The sea lay asleep in it, hardly stirring.  Across the bay the lovely mountains exquisitely different in colour, were asleep too in the light: and underneath her window; at the bottom of the flower starred grass slope from which the wall of the castle rose up, was a great cypress..." - from The Enchanted April  by Elizabeth Von Arnim

The Italian Riviera along the coastline of Liguria is a narrow strip of sandy beaches and spectacular rocky cliffs stretching from the French border to Tuscany. Liguria has for centuries inspired many famous artists and poets such as Keats, Shelley and Byron who all made their homes here. Famed for its mild climate year-round, quaint seaside villages and an excellent cuisine, it is one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.

No less beautiful and fascinating is the famed Amalfi Coast and the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida in the Bay of Naples. The sparkling sea, white-washed Mediterranean villas clinging to the rocky cliffs and the splendid Amalfi Drive make this one of the most romantic places in Italy. Moreover the infectious spirit of the Neapolitans and their gioe de vivre have conquered many an alien heart!
