I’ve lived on the Amalfi Coast for almost 20 years. Skip the crowds in Positano and stay in one of these 5 towns instead.

Take a break from the sea and immerse yourself in the Lattari Mountains for a completely different Amalfi Coast experience.

With a name that means “among the mountains,” Tramonti is the heart of the mountainous side of the Amalfi Coast. You won’t find one town center, as the village is made up of 13 little hamlets dotted around the mountain valley.

Tramonti has a rural charm that sets it apart from the seaside villages along the Amalfi Coast.

Wine enthusiasts could spend days visiting the various vineyards, like Tenuta San Francesco and Azienda Agricola Reale, which produce wine from centuries-old vines.
