A World Heritage Site

 

The Amalfi Coast is considered one of the most spectacular vistas to be found in Italy.

  
 
The last time we were in Amalfi, we were on hand to see the preparations for the filming
of this video on the Amalfi Coast's famous LEMONS - it makes you want to jump
into a lemon grove!  We were at the lemoncello making facility sipping this very
batch of liquid gold.

A Special Day in Amalfi
St. Andrew's Cathedral, Amalfi   
June 27 is the traditional celebration of the Feast of St. Andrew, Patron of Amalfi. 
 
This is an exciting opportunity to participate in a truly Italian Festa - with ceremony, parade, wonderful music in the piazza and fireworks viewed in comfort from the Hotel terrace!
  What else to do in Amalfi?
Capri

Painting of Capri

Sam D'Ambruoso,

Included is a painting day in Ravello. Artists' guests all join in and explore Ravello, visiting places like Villa Rufolo & Villa Cimbrone with its splendid gardens and "terrace to infinity."


 

We also go to Positano and paint/sketch the excellent locations near the beach.  Positano is also known for its own unique fashions, handmade shoes and shopping - just so you know! 
 
And then there's the Isle of CAPRI - Exciting, beautiful and engaging!  it is the most incredible place.  We arrange a private boat to Capri .  As we journey out to this wonderful island, we go along the shoreline exploring inlets, small islands, and we stop for swimming and then as we approach Capri we circle around the island, then dock, spend the day, and then back on the boat to Amalfi.   
   
  
Artists wishing to paint on Capri, bring your painting gear or sketchbooks and Sam will paint along with you.  We can't say enough about the painting opportunities you'll find in this Paradise.  Bring your camera and capture enough subject matter to keep you painting all winter!
