Amalfi, Tuesday, September 22 · 24° · the sun went down at 19:00 · Vietri sul Mare is the quietest town today
The Amalfi Coast, from the people who live here
Houses straight from their owners, today’s ferry times, guides to the ten towns and the trails: written from here.
2 houses on the coast, see them all · or start from the ten towns
How it works
From booking to keys, without a single chat
What usually turns up as six PDFs and twenty messages is already in here.
Before you leave
Pick the house, and know when to come
The houses belong to their owners: you write to them, not to a call centre. And you know in advance when the coast is empty and when it is packed.
See the housesWhen you arrive
Check-in is already done, from your phone
Documents uploaded from home, police forms filed on their own. You arrive, and all that is left is the keys.
How check-in worksWhile you are here
The house explained, and the coast at hand
The wifi, the air conditioning, where the bins go, where to park. And outside: which beach still has room, whether the sea will hold for the walk, when the last ferry goes.

And if you rent a house out, this is the phone that stops ringing. See it from the host’s side
The good moment
Positano is quiet right now. This is the good moment.
Arrive by 8:30 for empty streets and the classic photo from the viewpoint. By 10:00, tour buses arrive and the stairs become a slow queue.
The guides
What we know about this coast
Eight guides, ten towns, eighteen trails, twenty-two beaches. Three lines, to see how they are written.
Atrani is the smallest comune in Italy, and you walk there from Amalfi in five minutes, through a tunnel.
Da Gemma, in Amalfi, has been cooking since 1872. The Pansa pastry shop has made delizia al limone since 1830.
Ten of the twenty-two beaches are pebble. A pair of neoprene shoes costs ten euros and changes your day.
The towns
From Positano to Vietri sul Mare
The whole coast is almost empty right now.
