If you wish to head a little further out then you could either drive or take a bus to Sorrento which is 16km away. Sorrento is a great place to visit; a pretty seaside town overlooking the Bay of Naples which has something for everyone. You could stick to the busy centre, filled with lovely antique shops and lots of great places to eat or you could go a little further and visit nearby lemon and olive groves on a tour!

Location

Perched overlooking the sparkling blue-green waters of the Amalfi coast, Villa I Diamanti is in a wonderful location for a holiday combining relaxation and adventure. Within moments of leaving your gorgeous holiday home, you can walk down the hill and be sunbathing on a beach or tucking into a meal in one of the finest restaurants in the region. There are also plenty of cafes and bars within walking distance, a supermarket within 1km and a bus stop 500m away so if you want to take things slowly and stay local, then you are able to do so.

Of course with so many great towns and sites nearby, it is easy to head out for the day too and the area is a brilliant base. There are villages close to the villa but the closest town is Sorrento and is 16km from the house and can be reached by bus, taxi or car. Sorrento has so much on offer that you could base your entire trip around the area surrounding the villa with numerous trips out to Sorrento. The town is packed with museums, galleries, churches and antique shops to spend the day visiting and when you are feeling peckish you could try one of the chic hillside restaurants or walk down to the waterfront to try the famous seafood straight from the boat! If you are looking to do something a little more active then there are plenty of rugged walking trails in and around Sorrento which offer fantastic views or you can explore by boat; why not take a boat trip to the stunning island of Capri.

Another town which is worth a visit is Positano at 25km away. This town is one of the jewels of the Amalfi and is known for its high-end shops and restaurants and gorgeous pink and yellow buildings which clamber up the hillside. Those who brave the walk up the steep hills will be rewarded with a lovely glass of wine in a less crowded, picturesque square or you could soak up the sun on one of the nearby beaches.

For a day trip the whole family will enjoy, visit Pompeii which is 40km away. You could drive there or travel as part of an organised day tour. Pompeii and nearby Herculaneum have stood still since being destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 79AD and today we are able to see the buildings and the people of ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum frozen in time by visiting these famous archaeological sites. There is so much to see and do that you will need a full day to make the most of it but you could always continue your day with an evening out in Naples which is 20km from Pompeii and is an amazing city to visit, especially for the pizza.
