Over the past week and Easter weekend, the weather has changed from spring to winter and back to spring again on the Amalfi Coast. After a rainy and cold Saturday, the sun peeked out for a little bit on Easter Sunday before another storm came through in the evening. I popped my head outside the ...
Spring Blossoms
This evening I was out folding the laundry while admiring all the spring blossoms that have burst out in the last week. Just when it seems like those cold days of winter will never end, suddenly spring arrives and everything feels better in the warm sunshine. Just yesterday we were trying to ...
Spring Colors on the Amalfi Coast
That color there—the intoxicatingly beautiful turquoise—is one of my favorite signs of spring in Amalfi. Now through May, the sea is often the clearest that you'll see all year long, and the colors are simply gorgeous. Doesn't it just make you want to dive in? You'd better be prepared though, ...
First Signs of Spring
The first signs of spring are arriving on the Amalfi Coast. The sun is warm, and it feels just that little bit warmer each day. The narrow streets of Amalfi feel like one big construction zone. Walking through town is a bit like winding your way through a maze of tables set outside while floors are ...
Sunshine & Snow in Amalfi
The colors of February on the Amalfi Coast are some of the most vivid and striking of the entire year. The sea in Amalfi turns a particular shade of intense blue that I've only noticed this time of year. It reminds me of the first time I visited Amalfi and stood marveling at that shade of blue back ...
Wisteria Blooming in Ravello
After a couple of years of rainy and cold springs, the Amalfi Coast is finally having the mild and beautiful spring weather that it's famous for. The wisteria has been blooming for weeks already along the coastline, and I've been enjoying its sweet scent filling the air. While the wisteria in ...
Photo Friday: Wisteria in Ravello
Last weekend I was walking in Ravello and passed through a walkway that leads in one place between and under part of the beautiful gardens of the Villa Rufolo. I could smell the sweet scent of wisteria as I climbed a steep staircase, and as I reached the top was welcomed by this beautiful trellis of ...
Wisteria Wonderland in Positano
Last spring Rosa from the Bell'Avventura blog in Positano wrote a post filled with gorgeous photos of the wisteria season in Positano. I was smitten. Wisteria is one of my favorite spring flowers, and I love how the sweet scent fills the air this time of year. I just had to experience the beautiful ...
Photo Friday: Spring in Amalfi’s Harbor
The beautiful spring weather has all eyes turned toward the beaches and water in Amalfi. The wooden slats are being replaced on the boat docks in the harbor, and soon trucks will arrive one after another bringing back the many privately owned boats that are removed for the winter months. The beaches ...
Photo Friday: Spring Arrives in Amalfi
It's official. Spring has arrived in Amalfi! After a long and quiet winter, the tourist buses have arrived, bringing with them the beginning of another busy season. Today many of the top hotels along the Amalfi Coast, from the San Pietro in Positano to the Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi, are opening ...
Photo Friday: Signs of Spring
It was wonderful to arrive back on the Amalfi Coast earlier this week and find that I didn't miss the arrival of spring. This is one of my favorite times of the year, watching the trees bud and blossom. In Amalfi on Wednesday I was looking down at the sun sparkling on the sea and noticed the bright ...
An Early Spring Day in Amalfi
For those of you who work from home, or have in the past, you'll know that weekends don't come around every week like they do for many people. Sometimes there's that extra project that comes in last minute. Or maybe you're trying to catch up or get ahead. As a freelance writer, it seems like there ...
