Getting married in the spring next year. Just looking around for somewhere really special in the region of Sorrento/Posinato/Capri for a week. Will have transport. Somewhere romantic.......you know how it is! Anyone any ideas?

I used to stay at the imperial Tramontano in Sorrento. Cliff top position with spectacular vows. Close to town a d very friendly. It has lovely gardens and a pool. If you get a room on the back with a balcony you look a cross to Capri and Vesuvius.

willsandco you're 'virtually' taking us all along with you ... announcement, dress and now honeymoon! smile

I know. I am just a newcomer to forums. Cant believe how friendly people are and what wonderful advice. It is 43 years since I got married the first time! Feel like a newbie! Next post will be about perennial plants for garden pots.....bit different, eh?

We stayed in hotel belvedere just outside amalfi.i wouldn't recommend driving around the coast tho unless you have nerves of steel. We visited Ravello which still has lovely sea views but has a typical Italian square and concerts in the church.someone rented a car and left it in the hotel garage !,

Willsandco did you notice Galen' s Freudian slip 'spectacular vows'? smile I agree Gransnet is great.

I agree about not driving along the Amalfi coast. A couple of people we traveled with from the airport to a hotel in Scala just outside Ravello hired a car and took it back after two days. Very very scary.
We were ok driving in Tuscany though.

DD and SIL have just spent a blissful week on the Amalfi Coast, ( just three years married!)
They drove from Naples which was ok but you need to be careful. If budget is good then Hotel Caruso in Ravello is amazing but also, which they almost preferred was Monastero Monte Rosa above Amalfi, jutting out over the cliff, its all been renovated over a few years. Both have stunning infinity pools, great for a Honeymoon!
Best wishes.smile

there's a lovely Best Western just south of Amalfi, right on the sea - no beaches but lovely pool and access to the sea. Need a car though - we stayed there a few years ago after daughter's wedding in Capri, which is also beautiful and lovely for a honeymoon!!
