The Summer of C

After what has been a long year and a half -- for so many of us -- this was the summer I thought I'd be reading a lot of books and relaxing at the beach. Maybe even reading some of those books while listening to the sound of the sea in Amalfi. (Maybe more than maybe.) Instead, it was the summer I ...

Last of the October Beach Days

If you're lucky, summer comes back for a little visit in October. These lingering summer days are extra special at the beach on the Amalfi Coast, because they've already been abandoned by the crowds.

Marina di Praia – My New Favorite Beach on the Amalfi Coast!

I think I have a new favorite beach. But shhh ... don't tell Santa Croce. I've always like the little cove at Marina di Praia, located between Conca dei Marini and Praiano. The road clings to the mountainside high above the beach and a small access road that's pretty easy to miss leads down to a ...

Even within the private terraced gardens, it’s remarkably secluded. Walking through the gardens, I couldn’t imagine the great good fortune of being able to write and create here as Gore Vidal did for over 30 years. This is a place that certainly inspires!

Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coa Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coast after the tragic bus accident this morning in Ravello where Nicola Fusco, a young bus driver only 29 years old, lost his life. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause and I won’t share the upsetting details. The road to Ravello is currently closed and it’s not clear when it will reopen. Nicola was a kind, talented, and experienced driver—the third generation of drivers in his family—a family very close to ours. My husband has been a guide with all three generations and watched Nicola grow up. This is something that shouldn’t happen, shouldn’t ever happen, but it’s something we all fear here. Our hearts are with the Fusco family and to everyone who Nicola’s life touched. 🖤

Here was a quiet moment in Atrani before the celebrations began. ⚽️
