We’ll stay in a small hamlet tucked away in the Lattari Mountains. A charming southern Italian village with an intimate feel. This little place is postcard-perfect. Cobblestone alleyways between stone houses, windows decorated with flowers. Narrow pathways open up to cozy squares where locals gather to chat. Here, life moves at a slower pace. You’ll see locals working in their garden, some might be pruning grapevines or picking lemons. It’s a sneak peak to authentic Italian village life, far from the crowds of the Amalfi Coast.Walking through the village, you’ll see domestic animals in small stables, like goats and donkeys. In case of bad weather, if we can’t hike, here are some possible programs we can do: Visit the Ceramic Museum and factory in Vietri sul Mare, Visit the Greek temples in Paestum, Visit the Cathedral of Salerno, Tour of a mozzarella cheese-making farm.

The Village We Will Stay In: Our hamlet is part of the city of Cava de’ Tirreni. And has a truly rural, even remote feel. There are restaurants within walking distance and pizzeria. There’s also a small bar. And a tiny mini-market for the essentials. Although it feels remote, the village is well-connected to Cava de’ Tirreni. A frequent bus will take you to the city center in under 15 minutes. There you can find bigger supermarkets, ice cream shops, or go for a drink at one of the many pubs. The famous Benedictine Abbey is only five minutes from our accommodation. The area is surrounded by lush forests. Countless hiking trails start right here. Nearby, you’ll find the forgotten ruins of a Roman aqueduct. A short hike will take you to a hidden waterfall. Following the river upstream leads to this secret waterfall, nearly 20 meters high.

Instead of taking the paved roads, we’ll walk the ancient mulattieri trails. These ancient paths, where used by locals for centuries, before the main road was even built.

We pass by one of the best-kept secret villages of the Amalfi Coast, the fabulous Albori.
