"For foodies, like myself, the Amalfi Coast is a sheer joy. Where else can you drive through lemon and orange groves to discover hidden trattorias serving up the freshest seafood and pasta? I've put together this break for gourmets short on time. You'll stay at what is one of my favourite Italian hotels – the views are among the best on the Amalfi Coast – with an afternoon culinary experience on board a yacht. I did it, and trust me, it ranks right up there with my top Italian experiences."
