Amalfi Coast road

From the bustle of the SS163 to the hush of hidden coves, this ribbon of asphalt rewards patience: 50 km of cliff‑hugging bends, tight tunnels, and lookout points that trap the afternoon light. Positano clings to its slope, Amalfi keeps its 11th‑century Arab‑Norman Duomo, and Ravello floats 350 m above with the gardens of Villa Cimbrone. Distances deceive here: Amalfi to Positano is just 17 km, yet often 45 minutes at peak times. Once a watchmen’s route, today it’s where Capri glints offshore and, on clear days, the Lattari Mountains frame the sea.

The plan is straightforward—and flexible. Hotel pick‑up in Amalfi, a Mercedes at your disposal, and stops whenever a viewpoint or café calls. While your driver handles the road, you tour the Duomo, sample delizia al limone at Pansa, and sit down to a sea‑view lunch in Praiano. With a private chauffeur on the Amalfi Coast, Positano, Ravello, and Atrani line up without stress: he navigates hairpins, scarce parking, and ZTLs; you choose the terrace and time your golden‑hour shot from the Terrazza dell’Infinito.
