Join Barbara Crompton for a spectacular experience of yoga and hiking set on the shores of the sparkling Mediterranean. The Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful coastlines of Europe, offering an extraordinary palette of rugged landscape, rich azure sea and multicoloured cliff hanging buildings. Drink in the intoxicating lifestyle of this authentic Italian town of Vietri sul Mare by swimming on the longest beach in the Amalfi, sipping Italian coffee or visiting the many pottery stores dotting the quaint streets. Ramble through the vineyards to the symphony town of Ravello. Touch the sky walking the Pathway of the Gods followed by hanging out in the famous village of Positano. Explore the web of ancient pathways of the Valle delle Ferrirere, one of Italy's most beautiful nature reserves. Ride the windy Amalfi coast with cliffs rising steeply out of the sea and small pastel - coloured towns clinging precariously to the rocks. Feast on the authentic Italian cuisine at Barb's favourite lunch spots. Adventure to Pompeii and shop the city of Salerno. Top off all of this with yoga on the hike or yoga on our terrace hanging over the Mediterranean.


Come to Vietri sul Mare to infuse energy and Italian
bliss into your DNA.
