Amalfi Neighborhoods: Where to Stay
Amalfi was once a powerful maritime republic rivaling Venice and Genoa. Today, it's a convenient, well-connected base for exploring the coast with a stunning cathedral and more local feel than Positano.
Centro Storico
#1 PickAround the Duomo and main piazza, the beating heart of Amalfi.
Local Insight
"Visit the Chiostro del Paradiso (Cloister of Paradise) next to the cathedral. The Moorish-influenced architecture and ancient sarcophagi are fascinating—and it's wonderfully quiet compared to the piazza."
Top Hotels
Hotel Santa Caterina, NH Collection Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi, Hotel Luna Convento
Atrani
#2 PickTiny neighboring village, a 10-minute walk from Amalfi.
Local Insight
"Atrani is Italy's smallest municipality and feels like stepping back 50 years. The little piazza fills with locals in the evening—join them for pizza at Pizzeria Il Veliero."
Top Hotels
Palazzo Ferraioli, Hotel Parsifal, Borgo Sant'Andrea
